This is part of the Minister's response to my query about what, if anything the Australian Government is doing to assist AVZ Minerals, which is under siege from corrupt DRC officials and equally corrupt Chinese miners trying to steal its world-class lithium resource at Manono in the DRC:
Thank you for your email and for taking the time to write to me.
I try to respond to correspondence where I can, but I receive a large number of emails every day and depending on your enquiry it may not be possible to get back to you.
I prioritise constituents in my home state of South Australia or those who write on matters relating to my role as Minister for Foreign Affairs.
Please note that if your email is part of a campaign, it will be considered but not receive a response.
Unfortunately, the senator's response, particularly the bit that says: it may not be possible to get back to you does not fill me with confidence of getting an answer to my query. Nonetheless, by any measure, the plight of an Australian company in a foreign jurisdiction plus the fate of its 20,000 Australian investors falls within her remit as the Minister for Foreign Affairs...so I guess I'll wait.

Whoever’s behind Tolate is also behind Letty117.
Just saying
Letty said on HC yesterday after Tolate was suspended that he’d head over here. Sure enough he did indeed, but the silly cunt kept taking the bait, and zeebot had enough evidence to push the eject button
Letty is now the voice piece on HC and I laughed when I read his proAVZ posts just now
Don’t be fooled
Can’t see any rescheduling for this, so perhaps it was finally thrown out. Have any of you locals phoned the Court for an update?This is currently going on today. Not sure if already mentioned.

Congo Sues Apple Alleging ‘Pillaged’ Minerals in Products
The Democratic Republic of Congo filed lawsuits against Apple Inc. in France and Belgium. In them, it accuses the company of using minerals “pillaged” from the central African nation in its products.
Congo’s lawyers have initiated criminal complaints against the US tech giant’s subsidiaries in the two European countries “over the contamination of Apple’s supply chain” with “blood minerals,” according to a statement on Tuesday from Amsterdam & Partners LLP, a law firm working for Congo’s government.
Eastern Congo, which is rich in tin, tungsten and tantalum, minerals widely used in electronics including the iPhone, has been wracked by conflicts involving its armed forces and dozens of militant groups for about three decades. The administration of President Felix Tshisekedi accuses neighboring Rwandaof fueling the violence and providing a conduit for traders to smuggle minerals and gold out of Congo. Rwanda has long denied the allegations.
The complaints allege that Apple uses minerals that have been “laundered through international supply chains.” They also claim that the firm has also deployed “deceptive commercial practices to assure consumers that the tech giant’s supply chains are clean.”
Apple didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment, but previously referred Bloomberg to a March filing in which it said that all of the smelters and refiners in its supply chain had participated in an audit, and suppliers who refused or failed were removed. The company said it was reasonably confident that none of its tin, tungsten or tantalum suppliers financed or otherwise benefited armed groups active in the region.
Congo’s international legal team is tasked with pursuing individuals and companies involved in the “extraction, supply and commercialization of natural resources” that have driven “a cycle of violence and conflict by financing militias and terrorist groups,” according to the statement.

Government spokesman Patrick Muyaya confirmed the country had filed the lawsuit, without providing more details.
This is the first case Congo has filed as part of a strategy to pressure end users who may be using products reliant on minerals that were smuggled or have contributed to conflict. According to a spokesperson for Amsterdam & Partners, the French and Belgium judicial systems are well suited for these kinds of legal actions.
Last year, Congo and Rwanda produced more than 60% of the tantalum used in the world’s portable electronics, according to the US Geological Survey.

Meanwhile, more than 21,000 shareholders are caught in the crossfire, uncertain if they’ll ever see their investments again. This is the kind of blow no investor deserves.Look Tolate , you don’t give a shit about shareholders of AVz ; you’re an absolute low grade prick ; we don’t appreciate you or any of those fuckwits at Fattail. Many would say you guys are clearly being deceptive ; you were all caught on camera in the DRC , in Simon Congs Hotel meddling around in something which wasn’t any of your business
Shareholders have spoke through votes at at both last years and this years AGMs ; we don’t want you pricks anywhere near the company. Huljich , Klaus & Cong fucked shareholders over at Armani gold ; so what do you reckon people are thinking here ?
Klaus , Hulijich and Cong , they’ve all served on Amani Gold's board and Armani golds shareholders got shafted when Amani Gold sold its interest in its main project , the Giro gold deposit to a company and guess what , that companies main shareholder was Simon Cong.
You guys seem to think you’re so clever ; banging away at the company trying to take it down. yourself and East Wood creating multi nicks on social droning on with the same shit .
There’s a lot of shareholders here with a lot on the line , you guys fucking around where you aren’t wanted for your own personal gain knowing the consequences for these shareholders and their families is pretty fucked up .
The likes of Carrick and Hulijich are already wealthy individuals; yourself and East Wood are running on some sort of vendetta with NF ; where you were treated well but were incompetent in any case and got the huff you got the boot and rightly so . Eastwood … well , he lost his ass trying to be super clever in the Russian roulette / penny end of the market and blames everyone else , because in his own head he’s never wrong
Absolute dog act by the lot of you guys ; dangerous immoral game you play imo and I hope karma finds you all
