Is it or is it not the case that you released it on the occasion of H&M's lawyers getting hold of the footage?<BR/><BR/>Bit nasty the way your mates got stuck into Ted Watson on youtube. Seems to have stopped for the moment, did you reign them in?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-463929305486893586.post-76197324587950265742007-09-28T22:00:00.000+12:002007-09-28T22:00:00.000+12:00This is Michael Noonan.

This post contains many errors of fact: my comments here are to set the record straight about the most significant - in particular, the allegations that the research approval regimes I implemented were flawed and corrupt. My study was approved by the QUT Ethics Committee before any filming was undertaken. <BR/><BR/>Subsequently, and in response to the concerns raised by John Hookham and Gary MacLennan, my study was subjected to a full ethics audit by a committee of review, which included one expert member external to QUT. <BR/><BR/>That committee found I had not breached the relevant ethics guidelines. <BR/><BR/>All documentation was shared with the audit committee, including the appropriate consent and release forms. I have this documentation for all 33 people who participated in the film production. The accusations that appropriate consent was not gathered or was gathered under duress or fabricated after the event are not true and will not stand informed scrutiny.<BR/><BR/>There are many other errors of fact in this video – my film crew was not even in Boulia 18 months ago as claimed and there was no hostility to us at any time from Boulia residents.<BR/><BR/>Reluctantly but proudly, I made my film rushes available for public review to counter the innuendoes and untruths maliciously propagated over the depiction of disability in my film and also to set the record straight about the scene in the hotel at Boulia. <BR/><BR/>It had been obnoxiously misrepresented from the beginning and was hysterically reported in The London Times that James had been ‘severely beaten’ by an aboriginal woman – a vile and unsubstantiated slur. <BR/><BR/>I hoped that releasing my footage would destroy the negative stereotypes invoked by so many uninformed commentators. I am distressed to hear of the claim that May feels ‘hurt and shamed’ by that footage. Acknowledging this may be the case, and out of respect for her, I have written to the media outlets hosting my film rushes and asked them to remove those rushes from their websites.<BR/><BR/>I am happy to be held to account for my actions and my study in any properly-constituted space but I do not recognise Youtube, which has no means of testing gossip, innuendo and lies, as the forum in which to deal with these serious matters. I am prepared to discuss my study and its impact in any properly-constituted place and with any person of good faith – if this applies to you and you have genuine concerns, please send me an email.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
