leoj,

You advise our young students to develop people
skills in the real world not the virtual one and
yet your post is taken from some comments you found
on a Facebook page. There's a word for that.
Hypocrite.

Then you proceed in your usual rants of "lefty maths again,"
and that the Q&A audience is stacked in favour of the Left,
(this was a student audience mind you), Left this,
and Left that, and that its
absolute rubbish TV and a waste of taxpayers money, et cetera.
And then the final clincher - your faux concern for the
youth of today. And this after you've just rubbished everything
they've said and the issues they've raised on the program.

It's not brain surgery to wonder why your unsubstantiated
rants can't be taken seriously.

You need to change your tactics.

Regarding Matt Canavan's situation.

This is getting beyond the point of absurdity.

It was his mother who did the dual citizenship
on his behalf without asking him or telling
him. He was an adult at the time and he did not
sign anything or agree to anything - so I would
question the legality of what she did. The
Senator had no idea of his joint status until
she told him recently after what had happened to
Senators Ludlum and Waters. And now to resign?

This case should go in front of the courts and
quickly.

Foxy,

Unlike some here I am usually scrupulous in using inverted commas and giving a link. On this occasion I have mentioned the source but unusually for me omitted the inverted commas. However, it is very obvious even to the mentally challenged that it was a quote, as is made plain by the introductory sentence and the list below it,

<Some comments on the Facebook page, a taste,

-These kids need to stop demanding that the government do more for them and start doing something for themselves.>

And at the end there is, "So for balance there are two sides" which again to all but a fool or a stirrer would indicate the end of the quoted list as well.

Now, what about you address the issues for once, instead of ducking? Not your strong point? But nor is balance.

I suggest too that many parents, teachers and psychologists would go as far as saying that entertainment shows that always focus on the negatives and sensationalise, without paying due regard to the positives (and 99.9% IS positive where youth are concerned in Australia) do a very severe disservice to youth, encouraging sadness and withdrawal, feelings of isolation, exasperation and disbelief, that they might have any impact on what affects them, no matter what they do. It is a recipe for resigned futility.

While it suits the secondary agenda of the Greens 'protest party' and other collectives of stirrers to get youth dismayed and upset, the 'good guys', parents, teachers, counsellors and ors who are trying to help youth are seeing their good work going down the drain.

You might want to Google some long passages to bury this post as well.

Senator Canavan? It could be out of a Seinfeld script.

However it will be decided by a court and so where the die falls, so be it.

One rule for the Greens and another rule for the Liberals, As Canavan has admitted to holding Italian citizenship, and since the Constitution makes no allowance for "Me Mum got it for me!" crap, Canavan should resign from Parliament,

Strangely, none of the Usual Suspects have jumped in to demand Canavan's resignation. and money paid back. Why not fellas?

Whee, I agree with Paul. Of course Canavan must go.

If Turnbull was in any way decent, or actually a leader he would have made him go.

Can there be any redeeming of either of them? Certainly not in my book.
