Jay of Melbourne says:

"why would you want him looking up to degenerates like Mike Tyson and Ice Cube".

"Man, as a country kid, you just try and get into everything," he said. (Briggs) "Otherwise you're just bored. Growing up, Tupac was massive, and Ice Cube and Snoop were all massive and that's where it came from - they all looked super cool."

So he didn't get something from Ice Cube? These aren't my comments - they are his. Young people can and get good things from high profile people - not plastic prime ministers.

You may however be (Jay) are referring to 'Briggs' - being (Mr Jamie Briggs) my local member of Federal Parliament. Don't know.

We need celebrities, of all nations, well educated individuals and high profile people on stage making a five star performance, to make a difference. Political leaders are simply thinking about winning the next election. My rating for that performance - zero.

No, we do not need celebrities or anyone else telling our youth about terrorism or any other rubbish or BS they see or hear in their lives.
What they need is to learn or acquire the ability to think critically, clearly, objectively and thus independently about all the hype on anything, anywhere in this world and not follow in the steps of the rest of the brainwashed "mob".
This inability to exercise and apply critical thinking skills is a failure of the education and family systems in place today in this country right now.
No amount of 'hero' worshiping in the likes of mortal humans will solve anything.
