Kings Cross Injecting Room

Today an issue most Australians do NOT want.

Illicit drug use, addiction, crime and the responses by governments and the radical social reform brigade.

Studies have shown that Injecting rooms maintain drug users in their addiction and
do not help them cease using – that we know.

In reality injecting rooms assist drug use.

Repeated surveys of drug addicts show that most of them want to get clean,
that is one of the areas where governments needs to do more.

Drug use and related crimes are still significant problems but the answer is
NOT a permanent Kings Cross injecting room … nor more of them.

For more than a decade it has been publicly known that this facility is
unconstitutional, … in breach of Federal Customs laws …. and
opposed by both the United Nations and credible experts around the world.

The NSW Government have announced that they intend to end the farce
of the trial status of the Kings Cross injecting room and make it permanent … TURN IT UP.

Carbon Tax inquiry


Carbon tax inquiry.

Segment: Turn It UP Mike – Carbon Tax Inquiry
Radio 2SM 60 second spot Wednesday 29th September, 2010.
with Grant Goldman



Julia Gillard's election promise that she would convene a people's assembly on climate change was a nonsense. That is what the parliament is for.

With the recent announcement that a Parliamentary committee is to be convened to support the Green party's predetermined findings that we need a carbon tax, the public now has a strong signal that the very concept of democratic accountability is merely a minor inconvenience to this Prime Minister.

As Prime Minister, and apparently the Gillardian of the world, (Gillard + guardian) she can ensure that an inquiry comes up with the recommendations she wants by ensuring it has a majority of pro Cabon tax true believers and invitations simply don't go to to those who aren't on side.

This is not only a nonsense but it goes against parliamentary rules of convention and law.


An Australia carbon tax will have no effect on the world's environment, nor reduce toxins in the food, air or water or reduce any other forms of pollution.

We may end up with a carbon tax but spare me the Orwellian New-speak and spare us the cost of a farce inquiry to support the outcomes, that have already been determined.  … Turn It Up.

I'm Michael Robinson.

Tony Abbot ... The Destroyer? ... Turn It Up!



Tony Abbott the destroyer? Turn It Up!
An expanded version of the Turn It Up Mike comment heard on 2SM Tuesday 28th September 2010.


Julia Gillard MP has called on Tony Abbott (Leader of the Opposition) and his fellow members of the Opposition to cut her some slack, in fact she's pretty much asked them to slack off and let the ALP push through whatever legislation they want without any regard whatsoever for what the coalition members themselves might want, or might have promised the Australian people, who have put them there.

Think about it, she is more concerned about a handful of Green and Independent MP's who have pushed her government across the 76 seat line and their wish lists than the 73 MP's from Coalition who could help the 72 ALP MP's actually pass every piece of legislation they want not only through the Lower House but together the Coalition could help the ALP progress Legislation through the Senate too.

Among his many statements Rob Oakeshott has alluded to this a few times in the past few weeks but has the supposedly great political negotiator of a Prime Minister, and the Government, got down to hard work and done the hard yards to common ground between the two major parties? No. Instead she has gotten out with the fighting words calling Tony Abbott the spoiler and a destroyer (*), for wanting to ensure that what does pass through the parliament actually represents the wishes of the majority of the elected MP's and therefore the public.

Get this straight she actually is asking at least one MP, maybe more depending on circumstances, to skip parliamentary voting time, to give the ALP and its coalition of drooling wish list writers a free run at passing whatever legislation they want that day without the scrutiny that the voters have demanded of this parliament.

At the same time Julia Gillard PM is telling the Australian people that everything she promised them is now off the table and everything the Greens and the Independents want is on the table. Clearly she will do anything she has to in order to maintain a stable, but ALP, government except be a constructive government and work with the majority of elected Members of Parliament herself..

So lets call it what it is, Newspeak where constructive opposition is labelled as destructive.

Where breaking a political promise to the Australian people is called democratic and where letting the Left Wing Radical socialists dictate the focus and direction of parliament is called concern for the Australian people.

Tony Abbott is doing what the Australian public require him to do, scrutinise the government and hold them to some level of accountability even when they can do that themselves.

Lets stop the whingeing Prime Ministerial statements about the Opposition and get on with the job. You want Tony Abbott to sit one of the duly elected MP's out so you can pass whatever legislation you want without the accountability of the elected MP's …... TURN IT UP....

Introduction

Turn It UP Mike
Radio 2SM 60 second spot Monday 27th September

with Grant Goldman

60 seconds doesn't seem like a lot of time, if you are injured 60 seconds is a long time...

& it is said a week is a long time in politics, and anyone who has worked on radio know that 3 seconds of dead air time is a long time and 30 seconds of dead air time is enough to have your job.

In 60 seconds each weekday from now on I will raise the issues that need raising and focus intense attention on them.

Issues from politics, current affairs, issues that that aren't being talked about and issues that are the talk about the nation.

I have lauched a Google Blogger website

Turnitupmike.blogspot.com

and email 

Turnitupmike@gmail.com

for people to get in touch directly with me, so from Tomorrow's Turn IT Up Mike segment if there is something that needs to be raised loud and proud then I'll talk about it in this segment, in 60 seconds.

And although 60 seconds may not seem not much time, try or holding your breath for that long, or being in pain for 60 seconds. Australia is a nation in pain, look at politics, our community, and its time and it is time for some action and here on radio we can demand that and talk about. We can also talk about the good things that are being done.

Its time to Turn It up Mike
and
I'm Michael Robinson
