COME March 28 voters will be coerced by the government to allow them to sell off one of the most lucrative assets that NSW owns. This asset has been the mainstay in providing finance to enable this state to progress over the many years, not only in the field of electricity but many other government working programs.

How is it that just this week federal government have grave concerns over the land grabs by especially Chinese investment which amounts to a loss this country can ill afford.
Does the government for one moment really believe that once the Power Sell Off is a done deal that the power consumers of NSW will be viewed by the Chinese investors in fair and equitable light.
It would be a recommendation to “don’t hold your breath”. God only knows the numbers this country lost in turning back the Japanese to allow us to live the live we chose.
We now have the government asking us to “believe us, we know best” … pigs may fly.
Voters, please look beyond yourself, at your children, and their children and ask yourself , do I want to be responsible for putting a shackle around their necks for now, and the foreseeable future?
I know where I stand… “never would I allow it”. Your only chance to save this country from those who would sell it cheap for their own gratification will be on March 8, 2015.

Who are we to judge?
SHAME, abortion, euthanasia, judgement, guilt, death penalty, terrorism, police shootings, mental health persecution with religious or other superiority beliefs, violence, all seem to be driving the world at the moment. Of course we know this is not true because love has outshone each and every instance.
What drives people to take these actions? The answer seems to be pain and fear. My personal beliefs are for peaceful resolution to all problems and I promote life but understand other choices.
Shaming, turning your back, and non-personing are inhumane treatments that show a lack of capacity in those who promote such methods. People with empathy, compassion and understanding, are interested in obtaining peace in their world as well as “the” world. Accepting the decisions of others about their own lives when they are opposed to your own beliefs, especially when you do not have all the facts, is optimal.
In countries where the death penalty exists when is a life worthy of clemency? Is it okay to condemn a life because of your beliefs? History as well as current day practices in some instances show some people believe so. While others believe it is never warranted especially when redemption seems evident. Is it okay to force people to live and suffer beyond their wishes? If someone is in constant pain and wishes to die it IS against the law for them to end their life. Is that compassionate? Is that someone else’s choice? Is that inflicting suffering and for what reason?
If we take offence to someone else’s actions which don’t harm us, do we have the right to comment, intervene, protest?
If so, how much and in what way? When on the other side of these things, what of our freedom? When views are opposed, who is right and who is wrong and what are the consequences of that?
What are the long term repercussions? We don’t have to look far to see horrendous consequences of that.
When things happen we have to find a way to accept them and sometimes acceptance can take a lifetime.
This is why to sit in judgment, thinking you know another’s circumstances is such a trap.
