Losing faith
Are we really all that surprised that the ABC wants to quash religious programmes downgrading them even further than they already have?

Today, this taxpayer provision gives very little in return to those who support its existence other than a whole lot of programmes of rubbish just to appease the so called ‘mixed’ beliefs of the newcomers.
I can remember when a popular (well watched) “once a year” carol service from King's College at Cambridge University in England “one hour only” was scrapped.
At that time, the Republicans were out in full force wanting Australians to become a Republic.
So, gradually we also lost many other movies in the lead up to Christmas and Easter.
It has been a subtle clever exercise to eliminate Christianity out of Australian society for to gain a Republic one must first get rid of God.
What better place to peddle such mischief than the ABC- lovers of the left like eg Q & A a “rigged programme”?
We have watched our nation being overruled whereby evil has been allowed to take over all those things that used to be of ‘good report.’
All the numerous “causes” for this and that (ideologies in themselves) to gain even more power over the people calling it ‘progress in a progressive world’ like Korea and its missile crazed leader holding the world to ransom.
Never have we needed that ‘someone’ bigger than ourselves than we do right now.
God is ‘able’ when ‘right now we aren’t’.
Time for Australia to get back to God (predominantly) as we were and allow ‘him’ to take control of the regions instead of minority groups and their never ending atheist motivated ‘causes’

Morality of selling arms
So Defence Industry Minister MP Pyne wants Australia to become a major arms exporter to solidify relationships with certain Middle East nations, which also have shockingly poor human rights records?
Nations who've been cited, for years, as funding Da'esh?
Has Pyne seen what these weapons do ... really seen?
Our military bears some direct responsibility for Mosul, Iraq.
Our weapons. Our trainers.
Our soldiers.
We can spin it any way we want ... rescuing Iraqi civilians from the deadly Da'esh.
Dare I ask, what was our role in the rise of Da'esh, or our abdication of responsibility in the Middle East that enabled Da'esh to rise?
Pyne may want blood and death on his hands; I certainly do not.
I suspect most Australians would not.
Australia's in a unique position to leverage world-enhancing (versus world-destroying) research in many areas - including health and renewable energy.
Would it not be a more moral use of our taxpayer money to invest in technologies-of-life than technologies-of-death?
Or perhaps our government is incapable of comprehending such choices?

Low morale of employees
Perhaps it is because of the appointments of personnel who are given enormous salaries, but absolutely not qualifications for the tops jobs.
It is about time such positions are filled with personnel holding proper town clerk's qualifications and training as they used to be, before putting in so-called managers.
Also, calling time on whingers, whiners and sectional interest screeching when they do not get their way.
It should be remembered that councillors and employees work for all the community.
