Leunig's Olympics
This cartoon has been circulating for a week or so, but possibly some people may not have seen it yet.
It led me to think of three qualities I would like to see more of at the moment:
Safer
- Change the gun laws in the US, period. If Howard could do it, after the Port Arthur massacre, why not Obama?
- Oh, and don't text and drive.
Fairer - To the Queensland Government:
- Stop threatening to slash 20,000 public service jobs in the September budget.
- Stop defunding important essential services, like Breast Cancer screening and Sisters Inside.
- Support the National Disability Insurance Scheme.
- Think about why there is a budget deficit - because the State has been chronically underfunding services for decades, and the previous Labor government did try to do something about this.
- Services cost money - there is no way around this basic fact.
- Not providing services costs more in the long term - but by then, perhaps Labor will be back in power...
- And same sex marriage. If Tasmania can do this, why not Queensland?
Kinder
- Hopefully, we all know how to do this one.
- Just do it.
More later.
