Subject: RE: BS: Great White Father knows best...? (Austral
So much has been going on in the past few weeks, tho not so much has been in the news as newer stuff takes over the media attention. front page of today's Sydney Morning Herald

Back to topic -

I just loooove the bit that (indigenous) parents on welfare will have some of their payments quarantined to buy necessities for their children.

The Govt must have realised this policy was a bit suspect, so it is now extending to everyone on welfare, but what about the parent who are NOT on welfare & neglect their children? Parent on welfare = bad parent, parent earning income = good parent?

Latest yuk factor is Howard is on YouTube saying how good the Govt is on green stuff & climate change. Scroll down the Herald page & you can see him (listening to a snippet on the radio news a minute ago was enough for me, I don't want to watch)
