The government is flogging the "Services Industries" as THE growth
method for the economy. This from the mouth of Paul Fletcher MHR who
is a minister Infrastructure would you believe !
When pointed out that we have an energy problem looming his reply was
that service industries do not need energy to operate !

He just did not understand that nothing happens without the expenditure
of energy. I could not get through to him, he just did not want to know.
With such a belief the government is heading for the disaster that
Joe Hockey warned was ahead of us, without any preparation at all.

The big worry is that all politicians, of all countries, are spouting
the same lines of growth growth growth despite the warnings they are being given.

GM genetic modified foods concerns in my experience is a beat up media story.

I remember a science story presented before 1999 on television about how science advancement is experimenting with gene splicing. An animated image of a number of linked circles were seen being cut with animated scissors demonstrating a theory of GM manipulation. Soon after media news were reporting GM foods being planted. Soon after many GM food concerns are reported in the media.

In 1999, A Radio National Life Matters guest speaker expressed, “genetically modified foods technology methods are no different than two thousand years ago. Rubbing two flowers together has not been changed”. The guest speaker was exposing media lies in order to gain continued “we won't mess you around because listeners know too much” confidence in radio listeners.

I have not seen any more science programs on gene splicing.

The science of genetics when considering human genes are two metres long. Genes rolled up into a cell. So many human gene two metre long strands that when strands placed end to end, will reach from earth to the sun 600 times.

So many behind closed doors: companies not paying the correct amount of tax; company CEO executives walking away with millions of dollars bonuses; can't do anything family violence; mental illness; increased ice drug usage; no one goes to jail: political; financial advisers and union scandals.

Concerns about livestock eating GM foods having humans eating live stock foods; food packaging labelled GM produced or not, journalist seen walking through supermarkets are catching listeners attention hoax media stories.

Apple and other famous brand name companies not paying taxes are hoax media stories. Capitalism and global market media stories leading to global economy crashes excuses have been around since 1720 South Sea bubble.
Rolled over propaganda works if people don't realise they're being feed rolled over propaganda stories.

GM foods and human genetics are capitalist system supporting science advancement propaganda. Media stories distract individual thoughts away from self-concerns; when capitalism periodically turns bad, populations can't think (feel) to blame faked capitalism as a primary cause.

What are the barriers? I have purchased products form China via Ebey. Other than currency charges, no barriers are mentioned. I tend to argue few barriers exist. Barriers are no more than one more myth that's stated to have happened behind closed doors. Can't be proved true, must be excepted as true having come from the media.

I tend to think "Innovation" statement was timed to HSC end of examinations. Encouraging school students towards innovative careers.

Suggested changing bankruptcy laws will lead low interest rate creditors rejecting loans out of fears of not being able to foreclose on insolvent borrowers. US bankruptcy laws examples are heard by myself are about passenger carrying airline companies. I suspect courtroom proceedings have to pass judges to whether bankruptcies are halted.

2015 examination HSC results are in. A big question that challenges HSC graduates is, “what next”?

Supposedly New Horizons space probe passing Pluto in July of this year has television documentaries showing pictures of Pluto.
SBS1 television had two programs on Monday December 14, 7.30 to 9.30 PM. The first one hour prime time television program on formulating ideas about how planets came to be around the Sun. The second hour was about media's history on science fiction, how science fiction influences people. I tend to believe the first program theories could be considered as science fiction. SBS program had ideas heard that millions of years ago, a giant ice planet spun off into space, never to return, is the reason for why Jupiter and Satin are in the orbits they are today.
Add SBS2 television recent Star Trek week and newly released Star Wars movie.

I speculate that many HSC graduates are being influenced by media presented science to pursue astronomy as university study. Whether assumptions of coincidence or a conspiracy. I could assume many more students will study astronomy, wanting to work for NASA or similar.

I think astronomy to be a bit of a confidence trick. I would expect employment in science of astronomy would be limited. Most graduates in the field of astronomy, learnt knowledge would be limiting to many other alternative professional careers. Astronomy graduates having failed to find a career in astronomy, alternative employers may believe graduates in astronomy are little more experienced in desired future tasks than a HSC graduate student and may consider potential employees to have been unwise to have chosen astronomy at all as a university study. Starting employment work three four years after HSC examinations ended ages, allows potential employers as starting work in a new unknown task to be too old.

This reminds me of John Lennon Working Class Hero words, “when they have tortured and scared you for twenty odd years... then they expect you to pick a career... when you can't really function, you're so full of fear”.

One accusation I accuse education curriculum subjects of doing are that learning materials have little to do with adult employment unskilled work and most academic careers.
Young children's earliest enthusiastic pictured learning subjects may have been dinosaurs, solar system planets and space travel. Children may have purchased fantasy inspiring toys. Television programs most entertaining stories are of adventures is space.

HSC graduates following childhood and teenager's emotional dreams to become employed in fantasy overly prescribe world wide university courses low demand employment opportunities, seems one more natural selection ruling class controlled media and prescribed curriculum education department redirection trick.

Exampling: watching SBS television 2014 PBS Newshour educational stories, an over supply of US College teachers and professors have employment opportunities in US colleges, limited to part time (no tenure) teaching work, earning incomes reduced to barely getting by. Many teachers forced to find alternative careers.
An increased wide variety of university and college learning courses, taking up student demands for learning courses, tactically allowing ruling classes to reduce young adults heterosexually partnering off, getting married, couples starting families first child births, reducing family reproductive children numbers, slowing population growth. Allowing room for immigration population growth from countries with high population growths.

Television programs exampling “The Good Wife” allows the legal profession (exampling women) to seem fulfilling.
As far back as the early 1970s, a male university student was informing me, that, at first, before attending university, a career in law seemed a good idea. So many students taking up law had his last years of studying, ideas of working for GIO insurance company, processing insurance claims were one of few employment opportunities available.

Cartoon Dilbert as an engineer analogy suggests working in cubicles, performing corporate culture tasks, formulating ridiculous meetings to fill in time.
An easy working career, working in air-conditioned high rise glamorously looking office buildings with rewarding wage incomes maybe worth several years of college and or university studying, to lose several years of basic minimum wage income, paying tuition frees. Incentive benefits in avoiding working in uncontrolled extreme seasonal weather conditions for forty plus years to retirement.

Capitalism's marketing products few people want to buy: printing industry; Internet advertising; seasonally changing women's clothing fashions; women modelling clothes; organising, printing, distributing letterbox drop flyers; importing exporting transporting foods and consumer products.

For what people earn to what consumers pay for after: saving money in superannuation accounts; pay taxes; going to work travel expenses; eating food; rent or loan payments basics. Is it all real capitalist consumer society or an invented money credits subsidised fantasy (limited communist) low birth rate society?

High scoring HSC graduates may have had teacher parents to aid understanding and to best score high results in examinations.
From preschool, children that have teachers as parents may have influenced decisions on placing children in A grade classes rather than B, C, D grades, grading selectors believing that children having teachers as parents will succeed in A grade classroom tasks. Teachers teaching A grade students are believing students don't need increased tasks studying as students are A grade capable students, having students instructed by learned parents, lowering mental stress repressed memory learning on A grade students.

School students using parents' educational degree studying guidance. HSC graduates that have had an easier, less mentally stressful run through primary and high school education may have had an unfair advantage over lower scoring HSC students. Is mentally stressful repressed learning education the best natural selection method to find best performing students for professional careers?
