Youth crime is increasing – what to do?

There is something strange going on with youth crime in rural and regional Australia. Normally, I treat hysterical rising delinquency claims with a pinch of salt – explicable by an increase in police numbers, or a headline-chasing tabloid, or a right-wing politician.

Cr McCarthy versus the macaranga

This morning Ballina Shire Council will hear a motion from Cr Steve McCarthy to remove the native macaranga tree from the list of approved species for planting by Ballina Council and local community groups.

It takes the death of an Aussie, Zomi Frankcom, to remind Prime Minister Albanese that murdering aid workers is not kosher. After all, in Australia’s calculus one Aussie death outweighs the 33,037 Gazans killed, 454 killed in the West Bank and East Jerusalem and 75,668 wounded. Two-thirds of the victims are women and children!

Animal rights activists shocked us all with their covert videos showing the most appalling cruelty, where flayed sheep ran amok, caged pigs were tasered and cattle with slit throats writhed on floors of pooled blood.

Is Gaza any different? What can you say when Israeli forces gun down starving people in flour massacres? What can you say when Dr Ghassan Abu-Sitta, a British plastic surgeon who volunteered to work in Gaza, says, ‘This has effectively been a war on children’?

The 13,000 child deaths and 1,000 child amputees constitute a paediatric first, never before have so many children been maimed and killed in such a short time. In sharp contrast, about 1,700 Ukrainian children have been killed since May 2023, but Australia and Western governments prioritise Ukraine over Gaza. This is antisemitic racism!

    • In Arabic, the word ‘Hamas’ has the same meaning as the English word ‘resistance’, as in the French Resistance. So what you are saying is that the ‘problem’ is solved once all resistance is wiped out. Have you ever considered a job at the WEF? Or are you just keen on 7 million displaced Arabs flooding into Australia?

  1. The problem will not be solved until a Palestinian State is realised and Israel gets rid of Netanyahu. Getting rid of Hamas is just a small part of the solution, not the answer, and may not even be necessary. Why did the US veto acceptance of Palestine as a full member of the UN?

    • Because 75% of the Biden administration are self professed Zionist Jews, many of them dual Israeli citizens. Same as the Trump Admin, Obama Admin, and Bush Admin. Imagine if 75% of his admin were CCP supporting, Chinese People, some of whom were dual Chinese citizens.
