The dickheads on the panel really sicken me... The question was is australia a nanny state?? the contributor says YES because of A B and c and gets shouted down by the no brains... Brainwashed fools
A nanny state is not a solution for stupidity, stupidity knows no bounds, it will challenge the nanny state and cause break downs in communication between police and the public and could cause a tiered society of people who won't comply with any laws at all.
for fucks state its not a nanny state, its a POLICE state and worse than many countries !
I cant think of anywhere else in the world where you can be fined for riding a bicycle without a helmet, fined for not voting and don't even get me started on forgetting to lock you car door
when you pop down to the shops to get a carton of milk, thats illegal too,
i am surprised the cunts have not banned youtube !@#%!$##@##
these fucks on the show love living in a nanny state with all there perfect fucked up rules.. living in australia is like the fucking truman show.. fuck off with all your rules and regulations.. if dickheads cant use there own common sense then fuck them.. dont tell me what i can and cant do every step of my life... fuck off with your rules and overregulation
@TimeForParadigmShift dont be an idiot.. of course all road deaths are not avoidable.. like he said thats what happens when hundreds of thousands of people drive in random directions on roads..also there is always going to be a stupid wankerv speeding when they are pissed etc.. but its just how it is,, there will be road deaths sometimes... we cant avoid it.. and fuck makingany more fucking rulles on our roads..imagine how horrible life would be if our road rules became any stricter..
I'm born and raised in Australia, I have done a lot of travelling in my life, traveled to many countries, and yes, Australia is without a doubt a nanny-state. It sickens me to think such a great country is being over protected by selfish politicians who just want votes from pussies alike.
Thats funny, every interviewer ive youtubed has totally disregarded the nanny state suggestion. if, we're not a nanny state, then what is amsterdam, where can ride bikes without helmets, drink on the street, hang out at a park at 2am with your friends, smoke weed and eat magic truffles??? they seem to be functioning as a capable society! fuck our current politicians!
Drifting off the topic? Those retards don't even know what a nanny state is and why the guy made the comment. It wasn't about hooning. Fucking retards.
Was it an oversight on your part on posting, that you fail to mention Tim Wilson is a past Young Liberal president and you yourself were Liberal MP's Sophie Mirabella and Bob Baldwin's press secretary? No wonder you claim Negus gave Wilson such a hard time. My my, such utter dishonesty on your part Mr Josem, not to mention deceptive as well!!
@BigBlockAddict Why should we respect a company that knowingly sells products which are proven to cause cancer and disease? How does limiting their ability to advertise effect anyone but the companies which don't deserve our respect? Have you ever asked yourself why something that has real fatality rates continues to be on the market when things that are not proven harmful are removed? Because tabacco companies have made everyone their bitch. Do you want that ass fucking too?
@BigBlockAddict No I am certainly not okay with EVERYTHING the government does. Our government is a backward piece of crap. For example no 18+ rating for video games, because children play video games? :P However it is transparent that this major whinge is coming from the tobacco companies worrying about profits. You know what I don't care about? How well tabacco companies can advertise, how does that effect our rights? Fuck tabacco companies and their greedy media whores.
@MichellePumpernickel are you talking about Aus?? cos the only opportunity they get to advertise is on their own ciggie packets. and thats being taken away! why is this such a big deal to them? cos if theyre all brown packaging, what distinguishes a shitty horizon brand to a gourmet davidoff? "yeah, can i buy smokes?" "sure, which one?" "um, the cheapest one".... and so on. either way, im sure a non smoker has enough willpower not to be seduced by a poster advertising ciggies. dont you think??
@lordrevanchist I mostly think - who fucking cares if tabacco companies can advertise? The non-smokers in question are young people, this is to deter impressionable minds. Young people are attracted to pretty packaging. People who already smoke know the brand they like. Cigarettes cause cancer, why should other products less harmful be banned; while tabacco runs unchecked AND gets to advertise? Fuck tabacco companies, they do nothing but pig off people and cause cancer.
@MichellePumpernickel hey Michelle, thats unfair. I dont care much for tobacco, but youre bieng narrow minded now. Yes, tobacco causes cancer and death, but so do other things the govnt has kept legal. ie. alcohol=liver cancer, red bull=heart failure, paracetamol=cerebral oedema, additives and preservatives =cancer, foods with high salt and fat content=diabetes/heart failure. kids can be influenced by these too. So are we suppossed to have these in plain 'poo brown' packs 2? please dont reply!
@lordrevanchist Because you cried about it, I will reply. Firstly alcohol is not bad for you in moderation. Cigarettes however are ALWAYS nothing but bad for you. Most of what you mentioned is a moderation thing. Did you know that in high amounts water can kill you? It's not like the government is responsible for common sense in consumers. Other things such as additives to food - like Europe we should have food STANDARDS. I think something SHOULD be done. Junk food ads should be banned for kids
I hate this pretentious show anyway. You're either a news satirist like Jon Stewart or The Chaser, or you present straight news. One minute they're making jokes about a clip of some politician falling over or something and the next they're doing a serious piece about the bloodshed in Afghanistan. It's fucking weird and it doesn't work....and why the fuck is that opinionated old fossil Negus dressed like he just came from a 70's disco?!
Pfft, Oh no, cigarette companies can't make attractive packaging to appeal to people with weak minds!!! NANNY STATE!!! WAH!!! Plain packets violates my rights as an Australian. It's not at all about profit and political gain. :P
Just came across this and I can't believe how the panel treated Tim Wilson.They asked if he agreed with the comment that Australia was becoming a "nanny"state and then when Tim said he did and went on to give examples they made out that he was getting away from the point which was a total twist away from the original question.The question wasn't if he agreed with that driver hooning around the streets of Melbourne it was "is Australia becoming a nanny state?"What a standover mob these idiots are
With all our freedoms in the United States eroding and watching minor infractions that used to be punished with a simple fine now deemed worthy of jail time, I never thought how other governments are getting out of control. Is it the stupidity of the sheeple who keep electing these neo-marxist politicians, or is the problem with the polititans themselves being corrupted by power no matter what thier original intention?
Yah godamn fukn safety Nazis,.........you are not the only people living in OZ. It is that typical fkn anglo Australian convict mentality. This is like fukn communism getting imposed on ppl. I applaud to all suicidal maniacs: "Before you put and end to your fkn misery, please take some of these Bolshevist kukn Safety Nazis with You" They are turning Australia in to a prison on the arsend of the world.
Aussies are suffering from cognitive dissoncance.. They know they are totally over policed and over regualted but choose to ignore these facts beacuse of the "best cantry in the world mate!!! attitude.. Its totally fucking obvious to anyone whos been to oz that its run by meglomaniac nerds
..."are we a nanny state?" "absolutely! you just need to look at-" "Tim! can I interrupt? the nanny state arguement is a very good one, but this is not about a nanny state"
ahem, Negus?
Q:are we a nanny state?
A: absolutely. you just need to look at eg.internet restrictions, security restrictions etc.
They asked him if Australia is a nanny state - he said yes and started to explain why he thought so, and the interviewers then laughed at him and said he was going off topic?
yeh, i agree, its a nanny state, he gets shut down and attacked, lol. Typical australian sweep under the carpet mentality, wont listen to constructive criticism
australia is a nice place to visit, but a horrible place to live. too many draconian laws put in place by a suffocating, mother-knows-best nanny state. they ban video games down there for fuck's sake. they want to have all cars sold in oz with satellite GPS tracking systems in them to keep track of who is speeding and of course those horrible evil guns have been banned, even the airsoft ones, that, you know, dont actually shoot bullets
???? He answered the question that he was asked. I'm an Australian who is living in Europe at the moment, and it wasn't until I went abroad that I realised just how much of a nanny state we are. I honestly can't see myself moving back there, it seems to be getting worse and worse. I heard that in NSW they are making it illegal for people under 30 to use a solarium? What happened to free choice? How are the people letting this happen?
This is a joke. Yes Australia has become a Nanny State. Tim was brought on to discuss the Nanny State, and the moment he starts providing evidence, the panel shut him down and call him a quack.
Are these people really Australian's or even rational human beings with the ability/desire to think for themselves.
These guys atre brainwashed like the rest of Australia. I've lived in many parts of the world and this is the most restrictive, suffocating country on earth. Try and step onto the street on summer outside a pub with a beer or get a visa to come here or simply try and say something mildly controversial. The people od Australia have been indoctinated into thinking they are free when they simply aren't.
A panel of snapper heads and Negus is a nothing but a fucking relic and bitch for Islam.The joke is that they all see themselves as intellectuals.A vain host preoccupied with his look,a lame "comedian",a vacuousand gormless moll and dhimmi Negus on the end to lend the show "credibility".LOL
I saw this when it aired and thought the panel of, what I laughingly refer to as "interviewers", treated Tim Wilson appallingly. He had valid, very pertinent ideas but was chastised by "the elder statesmen" Negus. I think it was the media protecting self interests. Either that, or the panel is just plain idiotic. This country needs more Tim Wilsons and less Charlie Pickerings.
George Negus lost all credibility when he interviewed Margaret Thatcher, and he has never recovered. If he were a female telecaster he would have been boned years ago, but as a male he is lucky that his age adds a bit of credibility even though none is deserved.
What a way to treat a guest, especially one that is an expert on public affairs. It's interesting how Negus comments that Webber is not a "political sociologist or a legal expert" yet fails to acknowledge that Wilson is as close to that as this sorry excuse for a news program is going to get. If his position wasn't relevant and his logic is an "outrageous leap" why did they invite him on the show as an expert commentator? This show disgusts me.
Looks to me more like Tim was completely dismissed and seen as being off topic. Although he ight have put George back in his place on one of the topics, the whole panel thought that he was off talking crap. It's a shame because his points were very relevant, his delivery let him down.
