Exactly, It just like saying if only Mr and Mrs Hilter and Mr and Mrs Pol Pot and Amen had only used condoms

Bracks was a do nothing pollie who always said about every issue..... "ill look in to it", hence the mirror comment. not long after his sons accident, he retired. many believe the accident was the catylist for him to retire. maybe he thought he was not spending enough time with his family and his son going off the rails was a consequence of that.

do i have to spell it out!

yep that's it. nothing.
mostly media causing sales of papers and advertising time
sorry journalists, you're not my favourite people

He wasn't just driving poorly. He was ****ed as a fart and hooning with a passenger in the car

I do not see the point of blaming Steve Bracks (and no I do not know him at all) for the actions of his son. Granted being a public figure some flack is going to be generated, but unless there is any indication of him being a bad parent, comments like that are offensive and tasteless. There are many, many people who have done similar and or worse and you would not condem their parents. Parenting is hard enough and we as parents can not be held accountable for all our childrens (and I am talking young adults) actions. We make our own decisions. I try to teach my kids as best I can, that does not mean that they will not make errors of judgement or stupid decisions that they may or may not get away with and I am hardly at fault. I actually have compassion for the parents of people like this who do their best. I do not have compassion for parents who do not give a damn though.
