There's a 2009 movie entitled, “The Invention of Lying” a man lives in a society where every person speaks the truth, one man invents lies about an afterlife, every person believes the man because they are like children whom believe everything they are told, lacking any intellectual ability to think up false stories and can't realise the man is telling lies.
In real life, I speculate, most adults' intellectual ability to tell whether stories are lies or truth is similar.

I hope the lesson learnt out of this reading is that money is merely a token of exchange. Money can be easily invented out of nothing by whatever committee has the power to do so. Banks merely lend money on borrowers: margin deposits; holding property deeds and 30 years of obligated repayments. Every time property is sold: banks; state governments and real estate businesses takes a percentage. The more frequent properties turnover the more money turns over into: banks; government and real estate businesses balance sheets. The more economies health fluctuates, the more wage earner mortgage servicing workers lose employment and/or higher interest rates forces mortgage holders to sell property during depressed price property periods, the more property sales turns over, the more real estate businesses; state governments; new owner renovators; marriage break-ups; fewer children may be born; any leftover debts by previous property owners will need to be paid back to whomever holds the contracted paper obligations.

Human behaviour after mentally exhausting work, wants to entertain themselves. That as serious media are often boring to listen to, any incentive to take notice of serious media stories are self-repressed. The problem is most media stories are irrelevant to concerning listeners, that many listeners are more concerned about how intelligent they feel for understanding what stories are about, rather than how stories affect them personally.

As I have no ties to media establishment, I am trying to correct bad education's bad influences.

As media listener citizens spent from the age of 5 years to age 18 years turning up at school ready to listen to a teacher whom sets out the days lessons. As adults citizens sit to take notice to some media, listening to whatever the topic of the day media are going on about. Because as school students, students were supposed to believe what teachers were saying as true happenings. As adults we hear and merely believe, has much to do with why students are forced to listen to teachers rather than spend time reading something worth reading that is not merely trying to tell similar lies as news print is constantly informing readers as political truths.

32% backpackers’ tax, will have backpackers wanting more money for picking fruit to make up the difference in tax. The extra cost will be reflected on food shelves.

The eventual passing of the backpacker's tax on December 1, was to my reasoning, an easy to understand by citizenry, contrived drama, of separation between political parties, promoting democratic processes eventually works. Showing Australians, politicians are no more intelligent than average poorly educated citizens.

Calculation correction: Super Saturday, media news 950 properties were up for sale, 80% expected to be sold, after that Saturday 85% were said to have been sold. If average sale were $1,000,000 per property that's $800,000,000 in one single weekend.

December 2, The Drum, Radio National Presenter Ellen Flenning stated “medium price of property” being sold: Sydney $1,100,000; Brisbane $520,000; Melbourne $800,000. The panel conversation continued as typical The Drum/Life Matters... talking about people with a disability, buyer issues.

Loan interest charges and repaying borrowed money credits back to financial lender institutions... loan borrowers using employee wage earnings through wage incomes earned from businesses that supposedly earn income supplying services to citizenry consumers, other than money lending service businesses and real estate property sales businesses and state government services financed by property sales. I suggest most business services not benefiting from property sale turnover are subsidised by bank credits to provide wage earnings for property borrowers. I say the maths doesn't add up (too perfect to be true) where credit/debit balance sheet turnover that finance business wages on non-lending and property businesses cannot maintain solvency for any length of time. Western style capitalism may as well be called communism with a large degree of trickery added to fool the poorly educated can't think correctly citizenry.

Capitalist leaders criticise Fidel Castro for running a communist state to be seen as a totally different economic system.
Media on Castro's death, journalist stated the CIA failed to assassinate Castro more than 600 times. I say, if the CIA wanted to assassinate Castro, the failure rate would have been no more than 3 assassination attempts.

President Obama travels around to many global countries and U.S. states making speeches as though he has no fear of assassination by ISIS or any other terrorist group.
Puts into question how terrorist leaders reported to have been targeted to be killed, having reported to have been killed, follow up next in line leaders haven't retaliated accordingly?
My point is that leaders are immune from assassination or some centrally controlled entity is in control of terrorism and wars.

School education examination score employment selection system society, for most every first wage earning employment applicant, school students not merely trying to increase their own examination scores with intense studying, school students should be trying to sabotage all other students learning to aid in maximising their own examination average score, increasing saboteur's chances to obtain the best desirable employment available.
A single student's difficulty in applying that theory seems impossible.

A centralised world education system which standardises curriculum examinations, can adjust recommendations on how teachers are taught to teach children through to young adults, ensuring success on sabotaging working class human intelligence.

I say, the sabotaging process works so well, I speculate 99% of citizenry feels they're intelligent enough after having gone through the torturous punishments of schooling, not to feel less than adequate, otherwise experiencing doubt leads people to think seriously. Serious thought generally leads to comparing known factors. A probable first comparing factor maybe the acting characters in the television series “The Big Bang Theory” and/or guest people rambling on... on serious journalist interviewing programs, which I suggest very few people are listening past seeing what program topics are about, choosing to watch or not.

The very few people whom bother to take notice of serious programming, can serious programming really hold listeners attention, influence thinking, listeners making comparisons while quest speakers are presenting their analysed beliefs? Or are the mere fact that some expert person of many rarely seen individual expert persons are presenting an item of something seemingly important, listeners lazy judgements to items seemly important to democracy, being seen as real transparency is happening, is all that matters to many busy people.

December 2, Lateline host reported a release on Australia's latest mathematics and science TIMSS world ranking. Australia has slipped down the global education ranking on maths and science study. According to “Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study”, since 2011 Australia has slid from 18th to 28th out of 49 countries in year 4 maths, source TIMSS. And 12th to 17th out of 39 nations in year 8 maths and science, source TIMSS.
For the final Lateline debate of the year, myself taking selective sentences:
Referring to science guest speaker “Scientist and Author: Ruben Meerman” said,... “We take this fascinating topic and turn it into the most boring subject in the curriculum”.
http://www.abc.net.au/lateline/content/2016/s4586400.htm

The next guest speaker “education director, Grattan Institute: Peter Goss” said, “I heard Ruben say we don't want all these assessments, but we need to be careful, but teachers absolutely need to know where their students are at, so they can help them learn what students need to learn next”.
My opinion is that standard testing means teachers have to teach to future tests, teachers will not to be reteaching previous lesson learning to slow to keep up students.

A third guest speaker “Education Researcher, Centre for Independent Studies: Dr Jennifer Buckingham” mentioned how the amount of increased money spent on students had few added benefits.
Much of the conversation was about teachers not the education department curriculum. Not about whether prescribed curriculum has any benefit to students after students have left schools.
Guest speaker Peter Goss leads back to limited funding for schools excuses.

My view, old limited ideas rolled over leaving listeners believing they heard an intelligent argument, yet listeners are left little wiser.

The exposure of difficult to solve problem educated students ranked half way down a scale provides listeners concerned with political beliefs enough evidence to believe what is desired to be believed. Whether continued generations of children are being intentionally traumatised, few listeners have enough creative intelligence to realise children held in classrooms for many hours, for many months, for many years, pushes children towards: sports; mindless music; simple language skills. That curriculum subjects though provide some opportunities to: read; write; calculate maths... study information is unrelated to modern life experiences.

I speculate school studied science is somewhat limited to: plant biology; chemistry and various gases.

Electrons are everywhere in modern technology. Most semiconductors have numbered figures: resisters; capacitors; transistors; multiple pin integrated circuits. Dick Smith and Jaycar kits can to purchased and put together as weekend hobbies. Many adult professions are related to electricity.
Teaching chemistry to students, student teenagers are likely to make illegal drugs, ice for sale on the streets.
A month ago, I heard a news story suggesting that 80% of research scientists were planing to leave the profession of science because government future research funding was in doubt.

Over 130 swimmers drown in the surrounding waters of Australia this 2016. I could assume, as soon as one child is shocked by electricity either at school or home, learning about electricity during school lessons are stopped.

Many teenagers commit suicide each year most probably due to mental depression started during childhood ages beginning with boring school lessons. Bullies bully younger children because they're bored with school work curriculum.
The diversity of electricity and electronic circuitry could solve many of these issues, yet, that would mean solving problems people in control don't want solved.
In Japan, the first day of school after a long holiday break, something like 70 Japanese school students commit suicide on the same day students return to school after a long break.

Suicides are blamed on bullying rather than blaming schooling mental depression, learnt hopelessness.
