I want to say at the outset today that I am not impressed by global Muslim blood sacrifices of animals in the streets in many countries this past week.

It is part of their religious practice and I think since we hold religious freedoms to be important then we have to respect that.

Aside from differences of beliefs, some people do discriminate against people who are different to them when they don’t understand those differences.

Over the weekend those who are of the  Muslim faith kept their religious Hajj festival, but when you hold a party like that not everyone respects those around them trying to get to sleep.

From the outside, to neighbours, it looks very much like a Maori Hangi, a Greek name day party or a bang up Aussie BBQ.  just without alcohol
When you live in a community with other people.
It doesn’t matter what religion is or your background is, discrimination can go both ways.

Say perhaps if you invite  30 of your friends to party loud and late into the night
and the parents don’t know what their young boys are doing up and down the street

Don’t worry about them, they say, they are good boys...just being kids....

Are beauty pageants any different to other children's activities?

Good morning 

There has been a lot of public discussion over the past two weeks about the children’s beauty pageant industry that has been brought over from America and launched here in Australia.

I have to be careful about this one because I feel quite strongly about this.  

So lets consider this issue not just in context about my own children, but also think about those children involved, some will indeed be having childhood fun, but of course others...well.

A lot of people have taken strong offence with the look of the pageant contestants dressing up in extreme ways.

Although their mums describe them as dressing up as little princesses others have described them as dressing up to much like adults.

Frankly I don’t know too many adults who dress that way.

The more I look at it I don’t see much difference between many other activities be they sports, music or drama.

There is potential there for a great children’s activity in every one of these activities but there is ALSO a line that some parents cross.

Do we ban everything because some parents take their enthusiasm too far?
