Of course we can be confident that State and national governments understand all these problems and are making decisions in the best interests of our population.

the hatred for fathers has been increasing for decades. Just look at the family court decisions. Femisism/marxism is one sick disease. Problem is the dumbed down elites are to blind to see it. Kind of like the blindness shown to the numerous white farmers murdered by blacks in South Africa.

Hard to get much out of ABC TV these days except attention for the usual tragic cases. Males don't rate a mention except as problems

As usual the professional victims posting here, who believe that it's all about them! Miss the most important point! Simply because, deleted expletives of the first water, don't wan't or are entirely incapable of having an intelligent debate! But hit the automatic abuse botton as their CONDITIONED response!

And don't process single scaric of a grain of understanding, what the real problem is!

i.e,It's the economy stupid!

But like all circular thinkers are trapped inside a very limited circle of ideas or issues that dominate their thinking!

Father hate is risible nonsense, unless the bar steward is an out and out bar steward!

Completely incapable of empathising with other more normal human beings! And as always, are incapable of seeing their faults, the real cause of most of their relationship problems!

And are incapable or unwilling to moderate their blame anyone else behaviour! And because there's a flow of addictive hormones each time they lose it! They can lose it at the drop of a hat on the flimsiest of risible reasons!

However, if we do want a future for our boys and our girls? And the only real issue worth debating!

Then we need to understand, that future relies absolutely and exclusively on truly affordable energy! End of story!

And none of the current choices are not only just not viable! Nor even close to the ball park, but down the highway in the next suburb!

And then only because grimly determined leaders, like the resident Scientologists, have the tin ears plugged with sealing wax and ear plugs, surely!?

Other wise we'd already have, walk way safe, molten salt thorium based energy! And energy actually cheap enough, to give our kids, boys and girls a fair dinkum future, with some genuine prospects!

There have been stories obtained by Freedom of Information that show that governments are cutting back TAFE funding, even in the midst of a boom in construction.
Are we going to get our skilled labour from Nepal? or China? India?

No Daffy, they simply pulled the plug on another $300 million subsidy wanted by the car companies to keep the doors open. This equated to another $100,000 PA per employ, & was just too much to justify, when unemployment benefits were about $18,000 a year.

The rest of Oz had become a bit sick of seeing hundreds of millions bleed from us to keep a few South Australians, & Victorians over paid by a factor of 3.

As with the UK car industry before us, & with the help of some UK union leaders who migrated here, our unions destroyed their own industries.

When you add the ratbag greens, we are still at it. With the longest coastline, & the largest fishing zone in the world, stupid regulations make us a seafood importer.

With all we have left to offer being a little agriculture & mining, unions & Greens are working assiduously to destroy them too.

It won't be a surprise to many of us, when we no longer have the foreign exchange to pay for the imports we no longer produce here. At least it will be a new industry for the bush aboriginals, teaching idiot whites how to strip the bark of a gum tree to make a bark humpy. Well it will be if the greenies will let us have such luxuries.
