[QUOTE="Foordy, post: 3455736, member: 1769"] the ex-partner of one of the indigenous Hawks players involved in this scandal is refusing to participate in the AFL's investigation saying she had fundamental concerns with the investigation and the terms of reference which have been ignored by the AFL. accusing the AFL of "silencing tactics" and an "unsafe process" [B]Marque Lawyers, acting on behalf of ‘Amy’ have released a statement:[/B] “Through us, Amy raised significant concerns regarding the investigation with the AFL and asked for major changes, only some of which were incorporated into the final ToR,” the statement read. “Several fundamental concerns were ignored, and Amy was given only two days to consider the ToR before the AFL publicly launched the investigation, leaving her no choice but to not participate in the process. To underline the lack of real consultation, the final ToR released by the AFL are materially different from the version provided to Amy two days earlier.” [B][I]Amy’s lawyers state she is concerned “it is not an independent investigation” as an “external body with appropriate expertise” was not selected, and was alarmed it was a rushed process.[/I][/B] “Instead, the AFL’s own lawyers are assisting the investigation panel and corresponding with parties on its behalf,” the statement read. “The AFL, Hawthorn and those who are alleged to have engaged in inappropriate conduct are all reported as welcoming this move (to push on with the ToR). They have gone back to business as usual, including Alastair Clarkson and Chris Fagan being returned to their coaching posts. “For Amy, it is not business as usual. “The findings of the Hawthorn Cultural Safety Review have forced Amy to relive her own trauma, while also revealing to her the scale of the mistreatment of other First Nations players and their families. Amy has had to work through the guilt she feels at having stayed silent back then; that perhaps, had she said something, she could have prevented it happening to others. “In refusing to participate in this unsafe process (the AFL investigation), Amy is refusing to consent to the silencing tactics of the AFL.” [/QUOTE]
