Comment on Registration too strict… or?? by Welsh Dog

Actually, there is now next to nothing stopping people registering easily. I think the complaint must be that *any* registration is too much to ask for!

Hmmm… I’m of the opinion that if someone really wants to comment then it’s not too much to ask that they actually register. Could be wrong of course.. .but… ??

Sadly it appears that Sarah passed on some six months after this post was made. Here is a copy of her obituary notice:

Passed away peacefully at home following a long illness on
28th December 2009 with family and friends around her.

We pass on our sincere best wishes for the future of her daughter, Darcie.

This seems to be an ongoing problem between the Australian government and ‘foreign’ governments anywhere. The worst case on record of their non-intervention was possibly the way David Hicks was abandoned to the USA in Guantanamo Bay on the flimsiest of evidence.

Even after years of torture and investigation, the only way a conviction could be obtained was by creation of retrospective legislation *and* a confession from David himself who was someone desperately trying to ensure he didn’t spend the rest of his days living in hell!

At the same time Vogue in France is using provocative pictures of a 10 year old model called ‘Thylane Blondeau’ to sell clothes and style. It could be argued until the double standards used by media are codified and watchdogs given real teeth children will forever be at risk of exploitation.
