NSW Parliment; a safe harbour for paedophiles?
Saturday, December 18, 2010 at 11:26AM An audit of internet usage has been conducted in the NSW Parliament. The audit has found that members of parliament used their computers to access suspected child pornography.
NSW MPs or their staff have allegedly visited child pornography sites on parliament house computers.
The revelation that nine sites featuring "young people of indeterminate age" were visited comes in an independent report into parliamentary internet use by Ernst & Young.
The report was commissioned by house speaker Richard Torbay and upper house president Amanda Fazio after an unauthorised audit by a parliamentary internet staffer found 35 sites visited between November last year and September this year appeared to contain adult related content. -The Australian
After such a finding it is reasonable to expect that a further investigation would be underway followed by some disciplinary action. However such expectations turn out to be wishful thinking.
THE NSW Parliament will not discipline or even identify staff members or MPs who used the parliamentary computer system to access websites that contained ''sexually explicit images of young people''.
The Speaker of the Legislative Assembly, Richard Torbay, and the President of the Legislative Council, Amanda Fazio, have declared the matter closed despite confirmation that nine inappropriate websites were accessed.
In a statement yesterday, they confirmed that advice from the Crown Solicitor was that there was ''no legal obligation to refer the information in the report to the NSW Police Force''. -The Sydney Morning Herald
So there you have it. If you want to access inappropriate content and be protected, become a member of the New South Whales Parliament. When questionable content is found; no questions asked.
Although the term "Young People" doesn't specifically mean children. The responsible thing to do would be to pass the matter onto the police. Not cover it up.

Quest which state government really care for community development concern?
It really should surprised to all communities very much when there was no one state government responds to such greatest health/economic development from previous two letters sent through to all MPs in nation wide.
Please take a look the following replied letter:
I appreciated your final decision in success to complete the filing of a LGAG application in the Federal government preventive health of “Healthy Active Life” program.
This important step could be seen of a foundation work that in the possible exploration of opportunities in innovative health/economic convergence development for the mining depleted and aging Broken Hill, and Bourke, Brewarrina, Cobra, Ivanhoe and Wentworth surrounding communities to catch.
This step of health/economic convergence development opportunities are by far the largest in national, and international significance if we have our innovative knowledge, elements, resource and supported by this land, people and government; Again, providing that China is not yet step in such health/economic convergence development opportunities to start the “Health Olympic Spring China”.
“A healthy Las Vegas economy model” with capacity to by pass the 100 years old economical pattern of Las Vergas US, when the city of Las Vegas is incorporated in the year 1911with population 8,422 during 1940 (only 70 years). Because it’s the only first of this kind in the world, that is an economic model going to contain health improvement elements and resource mixed with entertainment and enjoyment in one convergences economy in the central Australia.
If we all patient enough to view, and understood the “World Health Report 2012: No Health without research”-A safer future: global public health security in the 21st century marks a turning point in the history of public health, and signals what could be one of the biggest advances in health security in half a century.
The achievement of universal and equitable access to healthcare, of health-related Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), and of other health goals is more likely to be realized through research and the use of research in informing health policies. Unfortunately, the reality is that research on critical topics is lacking, and health policies are often not well-informed by research evidence. Poorly-informed decision making, coupled with a lack of trust in research, are some of the reasons why services sometimes fail to reach those most in need, why health indicators may be off-track and why many countries are unlikely to meet the health MDGs. The World Health Report 2012 will justify that research helps, and that research is essential to improve health outcomes.
If we think seriously about the ABC business editor Peter Ryan report on February 28, 2011 the impact warning from Reserve Bank board member Professor Warwick McKibbin has warned of a potentially devastating bubble in global commodity prices and property prices in Asia. Professor McKibbin, who is also director of the research school of economics at the Australian National University, says if there is a big downturn in Asia Australia could be hit harder because of Australia's reliance on resource revenue.
If politicians are nervously to think of this month Broken hill city by election and the New South Wale state election.
If political parties calm enough not to worry if they have done their great efforts in supported community development in where? What use of people’s land for? What communities wanted from this land? What opportunities they need? And what benefits they should, or will gain.
Again, what are innovative ideas of politicians, political parties, and governments have been in efficient, effective, and economical governance in their best efforts to enable communities to reach these goals?
You are very welcome to break the news to all Broken hill city voters to assure them a “Time for Action” that will enable them soon to have such great opportunity to assist them to get a change for a better health. We are together to grasp, and to develop this LGAG program into action that in lay down the “Healthy Active Life” program foundation for a brighter prosperity and health future.

Labor will not win in next states and federal election without a new direction to sooth voters broken heart, following a 70 years hung parliament eruption.
KARL Bitar has resigned as the ALP's national secretary after strong internal criticism of his management of Labor's 2010 election campaign.
The voters’ hearts broken not only anger the one or two in election conducted, if we take a look at the careless tested below an example of what our $1.65 millions spending each of Politician care for community development are liked?

Why believe coalition economic plan works without revitalize agriculture and manufacture industries??
It’s all about power and money most Politicians and parties wanted above all and after all election?
Just listen how Barry O'Farrell convincing voters: "People are our asset. They are our greatest wealth and they should be given the opportunity to pursue their dreams?" On the issue of economic management, Mr O'Farrell was asked what he thought was the state's greatest source of wealth, given NSW lacked a resources industry.

When we look at what today’s shrinking industries, such of agriculture (34% of fruit and 19% of vegetables imported); manufacture (10.5% by 2005–6) destructed by John Howard’s coalition government.
Will you then still believe Mr Barry O'Farrell’s coalition opposition announced positive and practical policies which will help revitalize agriculture and manufacture industries for create more sustainable jobs, and innovative export products?
Remember, it’s not one person to construct or destruct the whole lots of industries, it’s the matter of whole political party/government?
Will you also believe there were only 1-2 Politicians responding to this greatest “Healthy Las Vergas Broken Hill economy model”?
Why the most Politicians do fail their own test in spend little brain work to revitalize agriculture and manufacture industries who with $1.65 million Tax payer’s money each annual spending for?
