Yes well once again I will state that the reason we are in the state that we are in is because when law abiding citizens have legidimate complaints against those employed by the Government everything goes silent. Complaints are covered up and nobody cares even if the targets are children. Protecting bullies seems to be the focus and concern.

I guess Jolanda somewhere government people adopted a "protect their own back" type of syndrome that hampered much that would have been successfully concluded.
As a policeman in NSW much of my work was hampered by the overall surrounding work environment.
All of us younger guys spent a large amount of time protecting our backs from those above us and not concentrating on what we should have been doing.
Many times things didnt get a completion because of how we thought superiors might react if we pushed on in...e.g. "who would get upset if we went ahead and investigated or filled out reports on the incident?"
Things got written off rather than investigated because too many hurdles would have had to have been crossed to complete the mission. There was always a background battle going on with superior officers juggling for positions...the Catholics warring against the Masons in the job...guys doing anything to get their names of reports to put them in a better light...people trampling others to get to the top. War and conflict and that was just the Police...one small area of State government. Its the same in every department I believe...but who can do anything about it.

Yes I WAS WRONG
Ten minutes latter in my car on my way to a far away work site I knew I was wrong.
Gibo you should know it concerned me that I got it wrong and that for the day I reminded myself of it sorry.
But mate not sorry to say I do honestly think you are a parody of a Christian.

Thats all right Belly.
I see Labor is letting the gay rights thing out of the box according to the SMH.
I wonder what kind of a world Labor will be making for tomorrows children? Or dont Labor supporters care about immorality?

Gibo it isn't just the Government, it appears to be the majority of people dont care. What sort of future and what hope do our children have when adults ignore children's cries for protection and help just because their cries are being relayed by their mother. For over 7 years my children have been targeted, victimised, bullied and treated unfairly by adult Government employees in positions of power and for the most part my childrenh are seen by the public as acceptable sacrifices of the system. The adults in our society are failing in it's duty of care to the children.

All complaints or allegations that involve the wellfare and wellbeing of children should be subject to a proper and fair investigation and have avenues of appeal and redress. The system should not be alloed to just close complaints without affording the complaintant procedural fairness and natural justice. How else are we going to protect our children from pedophiles, bullies and from harm and show them that they are valued and that we care?

"I see Labor is letting the gay rights thing out of the box according to the SMH. "

As I suggested earlier this thread is really about Gibo not liking policy rather than government ineptitude.

I posted links to material which clearly shows at best ineptitude at worst deliberate deceit by the previous federal government (which I voted for) and Gibo has completely ignored that. His comments so far have either been off topic or about policy which he does not like (or the prospect of policy). More spin and evasion.

Personally I find dishonesty a much bigger risk to society than which hole consenting adults choose to use.
