They LOVE blaming teachers for the attitudes of their children.

Their children are chips off the old block.

Often chips with copied attitude.

While criticising the Federal Government for its funding attitude, NT Government ministers should remember that for every dollar levied on Territorians by GST funding, we get $4.50 back. Government’s constant playing of the Australian pauper is quite belittling.

To up the age of criminal responsibility from 10 to 14 years is illogical and flies in the face of common sense. Both home (if parents are doing their job) and school through rules and regulations, instil the difference between right and wrong. To say otherwise is totally wrong and offers young people a licence to offend with immunity from consequences for their actions.

I believe that a significant number of people eligible for parole are content to remain under corrections care. Once paroled, food insecurity, humbugging, and general living living conditions offer challenges they do not face if remaining in custody.
