Is tourism all about fun or should we have some morality about how we spend our money overseas?

Last Friday an article  by News Corporation’s Travel Editor Brian Crisp appeared in the Travel Advice section of News.com.au and the article was sent to me by a friend of mine who was disgusted at what had been written, as I am.

I’m appalled that News Corporation even ran the story in the way it was written.

All the right information was there in front of the writer, but the story became the travel bloggings of a  funster looking for his next red light fun experience.

In the article Crisp writes about travelling to Thailand with a group of people for more than knock off fashion and their experiences visiting the red light district alleyways and girlie bars for their entertainment.


The article fails to point out that the entertainment and fun value the group of people were seeking out comes from commercialising human degradation, from human trafficking and sex slavery.


Crisp writes about his disappointment how the area is no longer as fun as it once was and that he won’t be going back because it is no longer a fun experience.


So like the article suggests should we just accept that this goes on and accept that this is part of the global economic trade and not be bothered by the inhumanity and degradation of that trade?

Every drop of water wasted is a reminder of the wash out of political leadership

Wow what a year it has been already.
I want to wish everyone a Happy New year, but as we speak today, it isn't so happy for everyone.

Our family road trip took us to the northern regions of NSW and Southern QLD, been road motorists and tourists, visited family members on some of Australia's most diverse farming areas and visited my childhood stomping grounds, and yet again was reminded that the nations politicians just don't understand much of this nation's needs.

The political priorities of our state and federal governments simply don't match the urgent needs of the community.

This nation needs a serious large scale national water management scheme, for the collection of flood and excess water when and where there is a lot of water around and to store and move that water when and where it is needed. It isn't going to prevent the devastating flooding we are seeing at the moment, but what it would do is to help primary production for Australian and international food sales in those years that are dry.

Talk to anyone, on any view, watching our nation's productivity evaporate faster than water on a hot summer's day in the outback and they will raise this issue and the fact that our that our political leaders have no interest or understanding of the importance of collecting and distributing water. Turn It Up. I'm Michael D. Robinson
