How can we limit the damage to parliaments credibility and caseload when they love to churn out more and more paper policies that offend thinking, law abiding people. Don't let our precarious democracies die under a huge pile of dumb paper and dumber policy. Help us substitute principle, process,and proper parenting for the preoccupations of pedants. Put some boundaries into the debate and their behaviour .

Someone who really cares( not always the government who say they do) will confront you . Goverenments think Laws help here but if we can't solve this at home , what hope is there for the law to solve things . After all whose right - surely any good post modernist would say " whoever is sitting in the chair" More here

And use it less . This half right  idea has great appeal to governments who know that the people avoid doing what's good for them or who really refuse to listen to them . While the government can hide behind a funded" .com "badge as they seem to be doing with "energywatch" these extra tax windfalls can be used to do allow ministers to play all sorts of games they never thought possible .eg Dream

When Labor realise they have lost  election/s from following the Greens up a celestial path with no foundations ( ETS and sacred objects  next to your house ),  they too will be more careful about being caught up in mere good intentions and tokenism . Labor may be into proper process and paperwork more than the Libs,   but the Greens are the real offenders when it comes to generating unnecessary

NO charter of RIGHTS .  The worriers are hopping mad because the Feds won't back their campaign for a human rights bill.  The dodgy brothers have been busy making lots of little laws that will legislate to make people good .  It would be alright if such a system worked,  but like so many ideas from the concrete bunkers of the cave dwelers , its not practical ( except for those with deep pockets )

Your running a nanny state mate ! Why doesn't he see it himself ? What can Mr Brumby do? The disease is rampant and many sourced . One thing he can do this week ------- Stop the fanatical elements in his inner circle from trying to control the world with mere words (The EOA) . The jewel in the crown of Victoria's legal system( the appeals court) is overloaded with all the attention it gets from

Rudd s team on the revolution trail   Early 2010 What are you - godlike ? (Can't believe the last post on this blog was in 2005 ). So what has all this got to do with Rudd' s team at the start of autumn 2010? The strange belief that the bureau is going to lead the revolution . Not only the health revolution but the education revolution,  and last but not least the hot air revolution . You

Vic and Qld governements can't believe people are so unaccepting of their brilliance on matters of new judicial process.- it may be more efficient but is it just . Take this eg from QLD The guilt of a person accused of a vegetation clearing offence under the VMA is determined not by a court but by an official. (The judicial trials mandated by Division 3 have no application to vegetation

Point taken.Nannys can be a sound choice for children - but we are not children---The Point here is that we seem to be being treated like them - someone to be coralled and cajolled by the powerful? Even for children nannys are expensive models and we want our democracracies to work, not go out backwards by offending the taxpayer and the "professional " carer. Many of our democracies are too

After seeing how some natural mothers can impair the development of their children ,I am not sure I am against nannies. Is nannyism is the right word for the disease?

There will be no effective uproar by those who act as custodians for our resources - after all they are irrelevant -at least politically ( http://fairgomate.blogspot.com) It clearly doesn't matter if the peasants and the professionals get cut by all the careless talk - they don't matter politically-- they are
