No Bob No

Last week the Greens and Independents in the Lower House voted NOT to require the government to send the NBN off to the Productivity Commission not are they going to require the government to release hundreds of pages on critical business information. It would almost be enough to make a skeptic person wonder what back room deals have been done on this.

The government says “trust us” we wouldn't waste public money. But the Opposition is lining saying that a project like this simply needs more public scrutiny.

When you have such a big public project a lot of people can get excited by the upside and the positives and no matter how important they are it is important that closer scrutiny and accountability be applied, especially to projects when you are dealing with a government who promised more transparency, and improved accountability.

No … instead the Greens and Independents decided for us that we don't need to see the details, in fact Bob Katter went so far as to say his decision was based entirely on the his own circumstance that he does not have the time, resources or the ability to read and understand the hundreds of pages that would have been released to the public. Turn It Up.

Bully for Bullies



The problem of childhood bullying is one that is regularly in the news and it is one that schools with their political correctness think they can go it alone to solve, and they are making things worse for many students.
There is a saying that violence breeds violence, and there are those who will say when kids stand up for themselves and pound a bully a good one the first time ... things are different, of course in most political correct school programs the person who won the fight would be in big trouble not the bully who started it. We need to teach our children that they need confidence but also need to know when not to have resort to violence.

Of course bullying isn't new it has gone on for generations and what parents need to learn is that for generations families have been foundation of children's development. Politically correct talk-fests at school might help but schools today need to support families not undermine them and children need to know they belong, they are loved and that injustice isn't tolerated.

They learn that at home and take it into the school yard, and nothing makes a parent more proud than when you learn your child stuck up for some little kid who was being picked on and that's when you, TURN IT UP. I'm Michael Robinson
