Gonski, seems an ideal headline name to be use over many years. By merely mentioning Gonski, politicians convey an unobtainable ideal solution excuse. My suggestion, David Gonski was chosen for his name.
Gonski Gonski Gonski…

Now state governments are arguing over un-even funding. The balance between state government funding and private school funding. Media fuelled arguments are redirecting curriculum dumb down, dummying.

The process of complaining about minor problems, (shark attacks), while ignoring big picture items, merely indicates how bad education has limited educated people's ability to realise too much irrelevant babble is by the trickery of media redirection, worse than dictator governments. At least in dictator governments, people can become aware of rarely mentioned problem issues that may be kept unresolved... where democracy governments’ many propaganda transparency distractions, actually works.

Religion, where religious representatives interpret holly scriptures from a book. Even when such representatives tell people to be aware of the devil, the devil will trick you; the devil comes in many forms. People can't realise the devil are all those religious representatives. Add the political system as well.
You could say, people don't get abstract ideas and/or cryptic meanings. People simply believe what they are told comparing assumed thoughts with what's already believed.

Recently finished series channel 11 late night “Braindead”, Washington politicians political processing, while describing brain dead politicians as honest, so everything seems to turn out fine... propaganda.

What continues to be unresolved, seems to be caused by well spoken well rehearsed brain dead politicians.

Solutions are... place unemployed youth in the military. I suggest that for thousands of years, spare labour was placed in military service, exampling the Roman empire. Men spent something like 20 years in the Roman army. On retirement, soldiers received a plot of land from captured territory.

After the WW2, several years of rebuilding Europe; USA building freeways. The cold war; Korean; Vietnam War; military weapons created employment.

If citizens complain about unemployment too much, wars work their way into the political concern.

I suggest high rise buildings inside city centres are providing employment for people who otherwise, in the past would have ended up in some military service. Building war ships, sailors working on war ships, scrubbing decks.

Coming back to the below website page. I find the reading important to my arguments to why classroom long hours of schooling mental stress beginning at aged 5 years, is designed to turn children in zombies for their remaining life span.
Google, “hippocampous stress cortisol”:
http://drgailgross.com/academia/effects-of-stress-on-the-hippocampus/

I pasted the seventh paragraph from the top, of the above web-page onto the next paragraph:

“When we are under stress, the HPA axis roars into action, preparing the body for crisis. Among other biological maneuvers, the amygdala commandeers the prefrontal cortex, the brain’s executive center. This shift in control to the low road favors automatic habits, as the amygdala draws on our knee-jerk responses to save us. The thinking brain gets sidelined for the duration; the high road moves too slowly. (p. 268)”

My translated theories: Mental stress, plus quickening the brain's actions by hurrying time limited work task processes; fast moving sports, self-programs human intelligence to ignore pre-frontal cortex thinking processes, instead, act on what is needed to be done to carry out simple knee-jerk fight and flight actions.

I also accuse education of filling up the pre-frontal cortex brain with trivial information, which has associated mental stress classroom memories memorised.

As children only want to feel good to reduce mental stress, inducing endorphins to medicate mental stress, feeling good by quickly ignoring information which prompts pre-frontal cortex thought, thought is instantly ignored by impulsive need for flight and/or fight by arguing against whoever is imposing a thinkable concept.

I can only assume many readers have not bothered to read the my suggested website reading due to their own not wanting to care, knee-jerk reactions.

I strongly suggest forum readers should read the mentioned website page, the reading should open up a new understanding of what's really going on in media.

Media programs which change scenes quickly, spoken words are short meaningless statements, quickly moving onto the next scene, short statements, I accuse are intentionally sabotaging any persons increased intelligence, who bother to watch.

Boring/depressing media panel/interviewing irrelevant conversations are not self-rational argumentative information... more redirection from worthy pre-frontal cortex intelligence.

Gambling addictions are new in the media, people are asking what's the secrets about gambling addictions.

I don't gamble... I do know a person that had a gambling problem with Keno and horse racing. The same man I have mentioned earlier, being mentally depressed.

My theories are that once young children reached aged 7 years, having spent two years in classroom schooling. Teachers play question and answer games. Children's enthusiastic need to induce endorphins in the brain to aid medicating mental traumas, children are feeling good about getting teacher's trivial answers correct, while quickly ignoring getting answers incorrect, experiencing denial. Add the need to feel like a winner plus the knee-jerk reactions to flight away from pre-frontal cortex thought. Gambling is an ideal pass time when feeling depressed an/or bored.

Sports watchers enthusiastic about a chosen team winning games, enjoying moments of being on a winning team's side. When a chosen team loses, merely move onto the next stimulating endorphin inducing sport.

I occasionally see media stories on young children sitting on classroom floors, watching a teacher reading to classroom students, I assume children are aged as young as 4 years.

Teachers are drawing children's attention towards teachers' spoken words. Children are curios and listen to teachers words. All children get to see are book pages of far away pictures. Soon children will become mentally exhausted having to spend lengthy periods listening to teachers spoken words. As children can't merely go to sleep, the process of traumatising the listening learning process has began.

Children are not seeing the words teachers are reading, therefore there's no more value in listening to teachers' reading child-like stories than to watching television.

If at least children could see each word being read by teachers, children could learn to read, before learning traumas become established.

September 29, ABC television news showed an example of credit card debt. A woman had lost her house, after a not mentioned bank over estimated her financial income, even though her bank account savings indicated the woman had little ability to service debt. The unknown bank gave the woman a credit card to further increase her debt obligations. The problem was blamed on bank employee commissions and performance timeframes.

Story narrator ended the story saying, “the big banks are finding new ways to keep Australians hocked to the hilt”.

For the same reasons mentioned previously relating to gambling. Banks take advantage of poor borrowing customers’ ability to correctly think. Borrowing customers allowing their financial decisions to be made on knee-jerk hurried decisions. Borrowers have little knowledge about borrowing money pitfalls, having more concerns about after work fun entertainment medicating stress relief.

Are Australia's best medical professionals being sort from foreign countries, because Australia's education system is too obsessive about making sure every student gets HSC traumatised? Incentives to spend many more years of medical studying, and/or the drop-out university studying rate maybe high.

Australian politicians seem as incompetent governors, making mistakes because of their stressful education, as mentioned... or are politicians good at acting out poor decision making behaviour transparencies as though they are similar to HSC traumatised Australians?

Donald Trump seems to 'put his foot in his mouth' too often as though he is in denial. Trump's, constant denying having said inappropriate statements... when fact checked, Trump's denying is found to be wrong.
Is Trump too educated for his own good, or is Trump a reasonably good actor?

I missed the beginning of the first Trump and Clinton debate. A man I know who watched the entire debate, told me “when the debate began, the audience were cheering. The audience had to be told not to cheer”.
At what point would audiences realise their attention span for detailed knowledge was limited to very short sentences. My assumed theory being that anticipation of cheering, being part of a large crowd (group thought), a need to cheer outweighs the need to hear which candidate to vote for policies.

From the start of the candidate selection Republican Party nomination, Trump was seen by journalist commentator experts as an outsider. Yet intellectual sounding media commentators indicated they were surprised Trump was selected as a presidential candidate.

Last week in September, 4 Corners program shows the immaturity of college student’s group behaviours for Neanderthal physical activities: rapes and house initiations gone horribly wrong. Horribly wrong meaning poor decision making skills.

As I have said, “pentagrams on flags symbolise evil”; “pentagrams symbolise the 5 wounds of Jesus”. The idea of sacrifice: suicide; being lead into unserviceable debt; being told invented stories, that has no relationship to usable useful thought; being told medical advancement and space fantasies stories that allow listeners to believe capitalism is good. Like Moses tricking 2 million people to walk into a desert, walking for 40 years... citizens are being set up financially, to allow a percentage of people to lose wealth. Even when media express how people lose wealth, the few listeners taking notice can't influence change. I theorise, Politicians believe citizens are so stupid, the more citizens are told the sky is falling in, the more citizens don't care to listen.
