1000 children a year die in US State Custody

Over 1000 children die in State custody every year in the USA. A system eerily reminiscent of that here in Australia would cause many , like myself, to consider that unless critical harm is being done to a child they are much better served in a current undesirable care arrangement than under the risk ridden care of the State.
Part 1

Part 2
We know some horrific things happen to children but nobody has yet stood accused of killing a thousand children a year.

Housing a Transient Workforce

It should NOT be rocket science.It should not require too much thought to understand that mobile homes solve the dilemma of permanently housing workers with transient living needs.  In the depression era and in earlier colonial times "swagmen" trod the long dusty roads between country towns eking out a meagre existence on what they could earn in one place and moving on as their luck ran out in a place-or,as often happened someone who hired them refused to pay or shortchanged them.  


 The 1950s saw the growth of mobility in Australia thanks in no small part to post WW2 prosperity,driven in no small part by Australia's now questionable participation in Korean and Malayan Wars. Mobility was perhaps personified by the FJ Holden and caravan.Rugged construction for rugged roads in a harsh rugged country--or so the legend goes.This was Australia as Australians first saw themselves on television back in 1957.Of course I don't remember that-but many do.

The 1950s also saw the rise and rise of that relic of motoring history and reminder of Nazism,the Volkswagen Kombi, immortalised by hippydom in the 60s and 70s as the vehicle of choice of the flower power movement.In water deprived Australia there was the mechanical advantage of an air cooled engine,which if a transplant was needed took an amateur about half a day-with a minimum of tools a manual and a bit of luck.



 There was the preferred ride of the generation of Aussie Surfers the CF Bedford surfmobile -often radically customised to meet the status aims and girl pulling desires of the surfer or surf wannabe owner. Other surfwagons included the long defunct Valiant/Dodge Wayfarer Ford Falcon and Holden Panelvans. 

These relics of days gone by were the result of a society with surplus disposable incomes, affordable housing and finanacial security -and governments which governed for and feared the wrath of the voting public. Like these vehicles legendary vehicles governments who cared one scintilla about people are also a relic in the past as at State and Federal Levels people choose between the pro business Coalition and pro business Labor Parties -like selecting which brand of cigarettes to kill yourself with.




 Todays Australia is one of Politicians fixated with serving the interests of international economics .A national government allowing corporate exploitation of a hapless and increasingly helpless Australian public drowning under the combined effects of greedy international (and local) banker and industrialist types. A government allowing ripoff merchants masquerading as businessmen carte blanche to exploit people mercilessly. Industrial commercial and financial interests-aided and abetted by anti-worker anti-environmental laws mercilessly and cheaply raping the countrys resources for short term capital gain. In todays Australia we frequently hear the voices of the bush lamenting the lack of labour -but the bush has an earned reputation for underpaying. Not of course according to wageslavery awards, but according to what is fair necessary and equitable for diligent workers to earn to enjoy the fruits of their labour. This bush mindset has successfully permeated its way into the mainstream of Australian Workplace Relations thanks in no small part to the  with the attendant negative social consequences as more workers daily fall beneath the ever rising bar which is the real poverty line -that confluence point between wageslavery regulated incomes and unregulated living costs. Inevitably under these circumstances, there is a rise in homelessness and at risk of homelessness. 

 This is the light in which we must view housing affordability as well as the affordability of Taxpayer Funded social housing.If adequate social accommodation acceptable to homeless people is to be provided, then we need to reposition our perspective of what constitutes adequate housing. For transient workers,the obvious solution is Mobile Homes. As a social housing alternative,they may well provide governments with a viable solution to the escalating costs of housing.The unit shown at left is for sale at less than $100,000 and sleeps 2 adults and two children comfortably-with all the bells and whistles- compared with at least $300thousand to provide a basic home. In fact,theres an abundance of 2/4 person mobile homes available between $50thousand and $100,000. Options such as rent-to-own can provide the security of tenure and ownership absent for todays marginalised.Such an option  could logically target those with itinerant work lifestyles or ambitions who follow seasonal or other itinerant work cycles across the country, boosting worker availability in the remotest locations.

Major Threats to Children Youth and Family

The tragedy which has become a pestilence to children families and communities in many Western and all Christian dominated countries in the last forty odd years is as insidious as a creeping rising damp in a dank basement.The destruction it has wrought in the last five decades makes the Haiti Earthquake seem like a single fatality car accident. The social consequences can be equated to ex South African President Thabo Mbekis controversial methods of dealing-or not-with aids- and the downstream consequences.


 The Major threat to children and families in Australia and First World Western Countries today is Church and Corporate instigated Government interference in community family and in particular, with children. There are many tentacles to Government interference or invasion. masquerades as Child Protection-and is anything but. The infamous Northern Territory Intervention, which masquerades as a response to the highly questionable "Little Children are Scared" Report, is at best repression, at worst, systemic genocide. The base report,constructed by a Northern Territory health worker and an ex Department of Public Prosecutions QC (a senior lawyer) might well be seen to serve the interests of those (and other) government departments.Its worth noting if only for the information of international readers that The Northern Territory is noted in Australia for its abhorrent treatment of aboriginals as second class citizens its high proportion of aboriginal prison inmates, and the beyond third world living conditions imposed on indigenous communities there.  But the then Coalition Federal Government, with bipartisan support from the now Labor Government, while spinning the lie that theirs was a response to "The Little Children are Scared", ignored over 90 of its recommendations. The Federal Government Northern Territory Intervention also sought perpetrators of alleged paedophilia exclusively among aboriginal people when the assertions of the base report were that perpetrators included aboriginal and non-aboriginal, and in particular mine workers.


 Since its implementation 3 years ago the Northern Territory Intervention has received widespread condemnation internationally yet enjoys the ongoing endorsement of Australian Government, opposition and the mainstream media. By and large the Australian public are prepared to let government do whatever they wish with aboriginals- "Who cares?". 


  Unsurprisingly, the federal Intervention has been short on successful outcomes- if the intent was to make a harmonious world for children. Instead,Northern Territory aboriginal children and families have become by and large powerless peons in a zoo monitored and manipulated by hostile anglo trained zealots whose mission is to invade their families,their communities and,yes,even their minds. It has not escaped the notice of any aboriginal communities that at the pointy end of the Intervention are reviled racist police-who have an unbroken history of racist repression of aboriginal people. Accompanying them in the vanguard are "health" workers.   We don't pretend that there are no health issues in remote Aboriginal communities, however many of these are the direct result of inappropriate housing or other services imposed by government. Their measure of success is not that the subject person is fit and well,but that they are able to serve the ulterior information collection agenda of multiple other departments,including the unfortunately named  (known as "fascists"). These so called health "authorities" take it upon themselves to disparage social drugs such as alcohol tobacco and marihuana, while forcing families to take the expensive yet often ineffective chemical concoctions. "Health authorities"- once trusted by communities, yet today despised as State information gatherers, or spies, whose information provided to their superiors is often self serving. Educators, not long ago trusted and respected community members, have today become further objects of valid mistrust thanks to their government imposed role spying on families and communities.Not to mention the questionable standard of education foisted on our hapless youth as education shifts to become a cloning process, a management driven robot assembly line, producing fodder for the globalists who seek all for themselves- and stuff anyone else.


  But this applies just to aboriginals,right?? WRONG!! In order to not be in breach of its international human rights obligations (thats the excuse) , the Australian government has decided to progressively roll out an "all Australian" version -which applies to all in the Northern Territory today. At State level New South Wales has StateAbducted an unprecedented number of children in 2009-2010 - on the basis of often scurrilous allegations by case managers-the very people who profit from State Child Abduction. 


 The most serious threat to children family and community today is no longer lone predators however evil and despicable they may be. That threat has been replaced by your government, working in concert with churches and economic barons to undermine your community and family values, replacing these time tested institutions upon which your ancestors depended, with their objective of monetizing and prospering from people from the cradle to the grave
