Australia to spend $13M for education to halt
Muslim radicalization.
The interesting question will be, where will it be
spent? In Muslim schools, in Mosques ?
While I applaud the Government's attempt to show
it is trying to do something about the rising
number of radical ideas being spread, the focus
needs to be on inclusion rather than target Muslims
for 're-education'. There is hundreds of years of
Muslim history which children learn at their schools
and Mosques. Radical Imam's are permitted to preach
and give directions with no consequences. Maybe they
should be the target of an education program.
You live in Australia, you leave your foreign wars
behind.

Australia should become involved against ISIS
If you remove the fact that ISIS are basically a Jihad
organization, and simply look at their methods of for
trying to create a new state. We should all be appalled.
No civilized people should be able to simply stand by
and allow it to happen.
Reports of genocide against anyone who will not convert
to Islam or opposes them are now being heard regularly.
Tactical air strikes have limited effect while the core
of these terrorists remain on the loose.
The UN appears unable or unwilling to act.
Interestingly enough Saudi Arabia is also quiet.
IS's proclamation of a Caliphate effectively
challenges the Saudi king's authority. Placing
all Muslims under their control.
It is interesting to note other governments
in the middle east have also not taken any
direct action against IS, even though they
pose a direct threat to their authority.
Australia and the rest of the civilized
world have no choice but to cut the head
off this viscous snake. And if that requires
ground troops then Australians must support it.

The world should be sickened by barbaric actions of
Jihadists.
Their actions will only bring more suffering
on themselves and ultimately lead to their
total distruction.
Civilized people of the world are not interested
in returning to the way of life of the Caliphate.
Based on total dictatorship of one man with ideas
that never got past the 7th century.
If these Jihadists are truly wanting to go back
to those times, then should they not be using
spears and bow and arrow instead of 21st century
rifles and missiles.

Scrap the proposed paid parental leave scheme.
Simple idea of living within your means comes to mind.
Why should lower income families suffer.
When all factors are taken into account,
budget spending cuts mean an average low income
family loses $844 per year in disposable income
(earnings after tax and government payments)
while middle income earners forgo $492.
A high income family is down by $517.
How can this be fair?
If there needs to be pain,
then all should at least share it equally.
