Bullying hurts us all



When-ever the issue of bullying comes up the reply from schools and the education department is always the line; “We do not tolerate bullying.”
Despite all the statements, from teachers, Principals, Government Departments and politicians, all saying the words they do not tolerate bullying, bullying continues to get worse in Australian schools.

School children know it, their parents know it and more and more experts are starting to recognise it.

Those who have seen their children bullied at school know they aren't safe, and they aren't being protected by the current policies and practices. In short the people we entrust our children to don't know how to keep them safe when another child decides to make things unsafe.

More about this next week but if anyone thinks this issue doesn't affect them consider this; If school aged bullies are allowed to get away with terrorising their victims in schools what sort of society are we creating?

And perhaps more sobering...

What kind of people are we? Those who stand by knowing that the most vulnerable in our society are being sent to a place where despite constantly telling us that they will keep our children safe those in charge are unable to do so.

WE are the experts...they say.... trust us they say....

Prime Minister Offers Victims a Flood of Helpers


Prime Minister Offers Victims a Flood of Helpers

There are a number of difficulties for Julia Gillard, as Prime Minister, in dealing with the Queensland floods, not the least of all is the stark reality that she faces, yet again, with the reminder of Kevin Rudd's electorate being front and centre. While he and the Queensland Premier are in Queensland working for their local area Julia Gillard risks the appearance of being over extending her Prime Ministerial reach in trying to offer the nation's help to make herself look good politically.

Recently some political commentators have spoken about everything from her choice of clothing to her controlled mannerisms, and her disciplined style of speech right through to how much help the Prime Minister has offered to flood victims.

Things like the financial assistance as well as military emergency assistance in the search and rescue and the clean up effort. Such commentators sit in their offices and speculate on what the public's perception might be in regards to the Prime Minister's offering of help.

It got me thinking.

While Australians are in need, and the nation has the resources to help them I don't particularly care for what the Prime Minister's motivation might be so long as the help is getting through.
Is the Prime Minister offering too much military help just to make herself look good? Turn It Up...I'm Michael Robinson
