RADICAL TOUGHER RULES FOR PARENTS

PARENTS OF STUDENTS WHO REFUSE TO GO TO SCHOOL WILL HAVE THEIR WELFARE BENEFITS AND PUBLIC HOUSING STRIPPED NEVER TO HAVE THEM BACK AGAIN AND THEY SHOULD FACE A MANDATORY 200 YEAR PRISON SENTENCE WITHOUT ANY PAROLE

I CALL FOR GREATER POLICE POWERS TO DETAIN PARENTS INDEFINITELY WITHOUT CHARGE WHO ARE ACCUSED OF NOT SENDING THEIR CHILDREN TO SCHOOL OR LOOKING AFTER THE CHILDREN PROPERLY

Stealing some of the UK Prime Minister ideas, I wish to put in a proposal that parents who don't send their childen to school should have their welfare benefits stripped permanently never to have their welfare payments back and they should be jailed for 200 years without any parole. Why should the taxpayer be expected to foot the bill for parents who are not prepared to accept responsibility for the children's education and welfare?

I call for a 200 year mandatory prison term without parole for parents who refuse to send their children to school. And I call for much tougher mandatory prison sentences ranging from 200 years without parole for parents who don't even try to look after their children. Any parents guilty of multiple offences will have to serve time in prison consectutively.

I also call for far greater police powers. I would like to see police detain parents indefinitely without charge who are suspected of not sending their children to school and who don't look after the children. I would like to see police detain parents without charge indefinitely who are suspected of doing any wrong doing.

In the light of the child protection system in the Northern Territory, the government departments are not fully to blame. The parents are the ones who have caused it all because they have washed their hands of their responsibility. That puts the departments under increasing pressure and the burden on departments is so huge the departments are bound to make mistakes. I am not saying that the departments are 100 percent innocent but I feel it is very unfair of the public to put the blame 100 percent on the departments when the parents are supposed to look after their children. That is not fair.

Also parents who live in public housing accused of not sending children to school or looking after children should be stripped of public housing as well and made to help themselves by looking for somewhere else to live in the private sector.

Children running around in shopping centres without their parents present with them will not be tolerated especially on school days.
