Closing the Sydney Harbour Bridge for a Protest

What an outrage and what a judicial blunder – in my opinion –  in interpreting the rights of protesters to hold sway over the greater good.

Chalmers wanting people to have more babies

This is a load of c..p as an idea. Have kids for money and then poke them into government-funded childcare, and from then on, rely on schools and care programs to bring them up. They will quickly add to the hordes of children in Australia who are unwanted and unloved. Stick to your parliamentary role, Dr Chalmers, and don’t repeat this arrant nonsense.

Government

The Federal Government’s machinations remind me of the mayhem that clowns create in the circus ring. However, the clown’s chaos is organised.

Australia’s oneness and unity

Our political leaders insist that Australia is a racially united and harmonious country where we all live peacefully, with a shared vision, empathy, and understanding. That was once true.

Government Priorities

It seems that on issues of critical world importance—from HAMAS to China, to AUKUS, to our defence systems, to the matters of deteriorating social and cultural harmony within Australia—the Government is like an ostrich burying its head in the sand to try and escape undertaking action based on reality.

Sussan Ley and Leadership

Opposition Leader Ley is still finding her way into party leadership. However, there needs to be more decisiveness and confidence in what she says and her message delivery method. She is not a nasty or vinegary person, and that is good. However, affirmation and confidence in her manner are essential if her messages are to cut through with greater clarity and effectiveness.

Public Servants and Travel Needs

ALL key public servants deserve the VERY BEST flight experience on offer. They are deep thinkers and careful planners whose vital policy-making roles could be negatively impacted if they sit in less comfortable and accommodating seating. They do vast amounts of work in flight, so they are in ‘onboard and in-flight’ offices. Let us not deny them the creature comforts they need to help them plan and shape their vital work.

Minister Burke and home affairs issues and visa management

Minister Burke makes too many gaffes in his home affairs role, and I have very little confidence in him as a politician or minister. However, it is easy to understand some of his decisions when one considers the makeup of his electorate in terms of the area’s socio-cultural mix.

Lowering expectations of English competence to accommodate migrants

This is yet another example of the government lowering standards—albeit quietly and without publicity—to gain popularity among the impacted and their relatives already living in Australia.
