Radiation From Mobile Phones Is Dangerous

New evidence shows that mobile phones really are dangerous. Even the average user can suffer from brain damage, lower sperm count and altered DNA. Just 4 hours of continuous use will preempt the brain's capacity to repair itself.

When scientists originally said that pulsed digital signals from cell phones cause DNA breaks they were condemned for making it up. Now proof is very strong. Apparently, the industry has known about situational damage from mobile phone use for years. They have intentionally hidden the truth.

Research on insects shows that DNA fragmentation occurs in ovarian cells. Insects do have ovarian cells. This reduces the insects' capacity to breed. Long term exposure kills cells completely. Other work with rats shows bone damage to fetuses from just six minutes of radiation per day. And rats had memory loss. From this work it can be deduced that children are more at risk.

Making Drinking Under 21 Illegal Is Not Realistic

Dr Aric Sigman a UK psychologist says the drinking age should be raised to 21. Then we would have young people drinking illegally. Brain damage may be a fact but this has not stopped states in the US allowing the smoking of marijuana, which has similar effects. Anyway, some children drink now and are being permanently brain damaged. Illegality has not stopped them.

It is a myth that parents have control over their children until they are 21. Indeed, many parents seem to have no control over their children at any age. Young people are driven by emotion and they need to "enjoy" everything now. Parents and children sitting down to a rational discussion is fairyland stuff.

Drinking used to be the norm in Australia. Then we had the ridiculous situation where people under 21 could not drink alcohol legally, but they could die on the battlefields of Vietnam.

Abbot Is Naive to Stop Young People Getting the Dole

Tony Abbot's call to send young people to work down the mines is a bit radical for an opposition leader. The "dole bludger" term is very old hat nowadays. With government strengthening of loopholes in getting unemployment benefits it no longer applies.

Abbot says young people do not know what is good for them and they are naive. Working down the mines will not make them less naive. Furthermore, they do know that going underground will not do them any good. Abbots condemnation of them joining environmental movements instead of mainstream political parties is like the cat calling the kettle black. Another "naive" statement from Tony Abbot is the idea of testing young people to see if they are "mature" enough to receive unemployment benefit.

Though Tony Abbot believes that depriving the young of unemployment benefit will make them move to the remote bush of Western Australia, this is a childish, simplistic dream. Recruitment officer Kevin Wealand says mining companies need skilled workers. They don't want labourers. Abbot says this will be Liberal Party policy. Ultimately this attempt at social engineering will not work. Mine owners and union leaders are cringing at the thought of having unskilled workers operating dangerous mining machines. Queensland Resources Council director Michael Roche says Tony Abbot is misguided - he is completely off the track.

Putting it bluntly, Tony Abbot comes across as a twerp. Does he sleep with that bike? Where have all the real leaders like Malcom Turnbull and Peter Costello gone? The Coalition needs to get a decent leader to be a contender for Prime Minister.

Australia Is Facing a Crisis in Aged Residential Care

Australia is heading for a crisis in residential care for the aged. Young people do not understand what their future will be like if investment in homes for the elderly is not increased. With society going the way it is family will not be around to help feed, clothe and look after you when you get old. The nursing homes whether public or private won't be there.

The problem is money. The cost of aged care is getting more expensive by the year. Qualified, experienced staff expect high wages. In 2050 people over 65 years will double in number. Those living more than 85 years will quadruple. The strain will not only be felt in the aged care sector proper. Provision of health services for these people will be difficult.

In the future, care for the elderly will be basic at best. The ratio of "patients" to staff will rise from five per nurse in 2003 to more than twelve per nurse on average. Some nursing homes now have one nurse for over 30 residents. But those over 90 need continual care because of constant illness and memory problems. Today nurses are companions as well as carers. This will end.

Because nurses in nursing homes are paid less than their counterparts in mainstream health, nurses are leaving residential care. Only more money from government will stop this.
