Whither Pakistan?
Submitted by abdulruff on Fri, 03/07/2009 - 19:29Today one really does not know what exactly has been going on in Jinnah’s Pakistan and one has to just believe how the global media narrate the stories to suit their goals in pursuing the interests of their hawkish masters. Perhaps Jinnah had not chosen the right people then for the new Islamic nation he wanted to establish. But it looks strange that Pakistan , which came into existence to protect Muslims and promote their interests inside and worldwide, is killing Muslims in side the country desperately.

MIRROR DENILE OF THE LARGE!
Submitted by Brett Hutton on Fri, 03/07/2009 - 17:32MIRROR DENILE OF THE LARGE!
Here I am lying at the lagoon today minding my own business, working on my tan in my board shorts when a mature lady with a couple of her friends wonders by, obviously the world surrounds her oyster as her to friends could not get a word in edge-ways with this ladies nonstop chatter.
This mature aged lady that’s no spring chicken decides from her wisdom of medical experience to visually to make a passing comment on the health of others while heading down the walkway near the lagoon.

The Ombudsman is just another Dead End
Submitted by caterpillar jane on Fri, 03/07/2009 - 16:34Th ombudsman is just another dead end. This is what happens. You write in detail your complaint against the Dept outlining case workers and managers.
The ombudsman sends the complaint to the ministers advisers for the Dept . They conduct their own internal investigation against the Dept and guess what they are always doing the correct thing and the ombudsman writes to tell you that the Dept's actions are all satisfactory and there is no longer any more investigations needed.
A Government Dept investigating themselves how handy.
Media: Your child's name can not be published or broadcast in any form

human rights? What a joke!
Submitted by caterpillar jane on Fri, 03/07/2009 - 15:45I tried writing to the human rights against The Dept of community services. They seem to be able to call people what they want and to degrade and slander at will innocent parents. Normal citizens would be charged if we said some of the things Docs are allowed top say against other human beings. But yet again Docs have that covered as well.The Australian Human Rights Commission can investigate complaints of breaches of human rights under the federal Human Rights and equal opportunity commission Act 1986 (HREOCA).
contact orders now issued by the department
Submitted by caterpillar jane on Fri, 03/07/2009 - 15:34I have just heard from a few child protection solicitors who defend parents that contact orders are to be taken out of the courts. Which means the Dept of Community services will have the full power over contact orders.
More power to crush parents and they will decide when parents see their children and for how long and where while the court process is occuring. Contact orders will not be court ordered any more and so Docs again will have more power to do what they want.
One hundred and fifty years jail time for Bernard Madoff is a good thing
Submitted by Robert Weissman on Fri, 03/07/2009 - 12:24To listen to the victims of his swindle, or read their words, is to appreciate the very far-reaching ways in which Madoff's quiet crime has wreaked havoc on the lives of thousands of families.
Federal District Judge Denny Chin was absolutely right in denouncing Madoff's crimes as "extraordinarily evil," and giving him the maximum sentence. Punishment is no substitute for prevention, but the sentence provides a modicum of justice to the victims and will exert some modest deterrent effect against future potential swindlers.
The Best Person For The Job
Submitted by philip on Fri, 03/07/2009 - 10:53The best person for the job allowed men to stack the high-risk finance industry and collapse the global economy.
The best person should be appointed to a gendered job.
Corporations should make decisions by agreement between women's and men's committees.
Government should regulate corporations by agreement between women’s and men’s legislatures.
The best person for the job is the person whose gender participates with equality.
