Thread: Will Australians please take a deep breath, and stop being so up themselves?

There are more important needy people that deserve way more help thankyou.

Now the Majority of Disabled people had no say in the cause of their condition so not self inflicted,

But

Why are we not pounding the streets for people with disability`s that need so much help,
Why don`t we have a proper public transport system that is geared for the disabled ,
Why are all buildings not Disable friendly ,
Why are the disabled still fighting for rights and services ,
We in Australia are so far behind the rest of the world when it comes to the Disabled
Now i am not Disabled but am very close to few some that are and all i can say is live a day in their life and you will understand !

Eldest Daughter runs a Kidney Dialysis clinic here in Darwin , few weeks ago 1 of her patients turns up 5 hours late and high on a concoction of alcohol and Ice , they refuse to dialyse him so he goes crazy , staff end up locking themselves in 1 section whilst waiting for the cops to arrive. This guy in his rage has taken out 1 dialysis machine and caused several others to have to stop treatment.


Im told the tax payer pays about $90k per year per kidney dialysis patient , next day the cops bring this guy back for his treatment.. So 4 cops have to be present whilst this looser gets treated, another waste of resource's and we are supposed to fell sorry for this type of person because they have a self inflicted addiction.

Time for the do gooders to be pushed aside and some true justice dished out = you want to abuse the system and the people in it trying to help , then go without and see how much fun it is. Far to many need the help and will welcome it with open arms not abuse it.

The addiction takes over and the person loses control and can't discern reality and loses inhibitions. Last year a bloke was filmed repeatedly punching a post near my work. Just kept punching away ignoring pain. Off the planet. Eventually taken into custody for detoxing. They can't behave rationally because of the drug, so it is pointless to demand rational behaviour from them.
Punishment achieves nothing so calls for tougher treatment and 'lock them up'are meaningless. They have to be isolated until the drugs wash through the system. It takes a long time too. A friend who is a former addict but drug free now says in his mind he will always think like an addict - he will never be free of the addiction. That is a very hard lesson for anyone to accept.

Every one is a critic until a close family member is caught up in addiction. Then watch how fast they change their mind.

cause if you make being disabled too attractive, less people will work, less people will pay tax, and the govt will have less money. and the govt cant allow that to happen

Nope, just watch Queensland commercial TV news.

You are of course assuming they want to get off the stuff , takes a long time to wash thru when all they do is top it up. In the mean time we have to watch our ambo's and others who provide the community with a valuable service get assaulted or worse.

Cant help those who don't want it no matter what systems are in place. Seems the Lawyer handbook first line on the page says " My client wants to seek help " just to appease the judge.

Not as bad as Japan Chris, th disabled and elderly there are a nuisance to others it seems , with millions of people commuting I was quite gob smacked how they disabled and elderly are bowled over in the rush.

Thru work I know quite a few NT cops , and the force up here is loosing more cops than they can recruit, most of the one's leaving are seasoned veteran's and that experience cant be replaced overnight. 1 of the main reasons is they turn up to people off their heads and aggressive, when they either defend themselves or use force the phone camera's just happen to start rolling and the cops look like the bad guys and get trashed by the media and public alike.

Then you see the publics cry's of why aren't the cops turning up or taking so long to turn up when they call the cops for help. Unless we start to get tougher we will get what we deserve, and it aint far away.

Lets see what happens to the 6 in WA who just got done for 1.2ton of methamphetamine. In most countries the chair would be getting warmed up or old mate would be practicing his noose tying skills, lets see how it gets dealt with here. - Be something pathetic like usual.
