Seriously people, the best you have is to nastily vilify each other and the commentator who made the statements?
I am glad at least that, at best, this is a small, low population backwater forum. Clearly not mainstream Australia, I am thankful for that small mercy.
The bottom line, this is a child protection issue.
As to the Labor/Liberal thing - if you rabidly support either party (as many posters here clearly do) you are quite specifically part of the problem and, as demonstrated by the abuse, ridiculous reasoning and erroneous statements couched as facts (of life possibly) totally disconnected from humanity. That is about as generous as I could be in my description.
So, a child protection issue. It is absolutely astounding that almost anywhere in Australia ALL of the professionals involved are what is referred to as Mandatory reporters - i.e. by law they MUST report issues of child abuse, suspected child abuse and/or neglect to child protection authorities - yet, this change in law from the Federal Government (Supported by the Labor opposition, hence neither team can hold their heads up with any pride), effectively rejects that same basic legal expectation in almost every state or territory in our Country.
I support the 40 doctors, nurses and health care workers personally.
The current Liberal Government are the absolute drivers behind the potential cover up of child abuse here, but, make not mistake, Labor are, quite clearly equally complicit. Whilst you lot who want to argue the politics of it, supposedly point score on each other and, somehow proclaim being "real Australia" - you are not my fellow country men and women by any stretch of the imagination.
I am sure those of you with children do love them, care for them and nurture them at least to the best of your capacity. I am astounded though that you cannot at any level look at your own children and feel absolutely no concern, care or even some basic empathy for the INNOCENT children in detention being abused and neglected. And before any actually are so low as to ask what about their own parents? WE put them into detention rightly or wrongly. That is point one, point two, I won't even waste time discussing the matter with you, as you are so far beneath my contempt you don't count as human - is that clear enough?
Good on Waleed. I don't often agree with him, I hardly ever watch the show, at least on purpose - yet, in this specific instance, he nailed it point blank.
For those who either; a) Did not read the article b) Failed to comprehend what was said
He VERY CLEARLY pointed the finger at both parties.
It cannot be overlooked presently though which party is in Government - because, they are the Government, they have the power, as it were. If the power is objectionable to any - then, let me put it this way, the Government is responsible....
I am sure there is an online dictionary for any who need to look up the meaning of responsible, I suspect if there is any honesty or self reflection, that would be a lot of posters here needing to look that up.
