Less Quackery and less Panic - We hope for more peace and push for more professional care in the new year

 Recent floods in Wye and Erskine rivers were a surprise to our Emergency Authorities in Victoria. Not to some of us who are properly trained to prevent disasters, rather than paying for roundups after the horse has bolted.  

It is tempting to think that an automatic weather recorder at Peter's Hill would have alerted the Authorities over the years  to the short return period for such events . No, the priority has to change to learning to anticipate. The myth that we will know more by having more information must be resisted and dealt with as a maldaptive distraction from screen saviors; one that often only increases the worry , confusion and panic. We need to insist on proper doctoring, efficient and effective decisionmaking ( not endless waiting for fact checks)  and feedback from those still on the ground. 
  

The key thing to avoid this widespread Western panic syndrome to have is less Authorities and more respect for Authority- more genuine respect for those who train to show themselves approved.

The huge blowout in costs in the care industry (including in the fire levies ) are due to bad doctoring and the killing off of good care and monitoring practice. Like the authors who create these new empires they feed us with lollies when we need to heed the good doctors advice on diet and listen better to their more considered and less panic prone advice. ( say on testing for every disease known to the mind)

Thankfully noone has lost their life, but the very same predictable event filled houses with silt in Geelong , and cut through the water supply channel to Geelong, in November 1995.

The reason why we are not learning to anticipate these things better, is because our leaders like to think they can run the environment, and run it better with more Authorities (eg CMA , GORCAPA) and more information feeding up to them, in particular. All Emperors work on feeding that line.

True authorship and authority comes from the bottom and Greenlabor in their arrogance have killed off the doctors of the earth who anticipate how things will go wrong and do not wait, as the empire managers do, till the data tells them things are going wrong.

Fanaticism has a very long history on the earth and we in Australia can nip its tyranny in the bud, if we do things to stop its growth amongst us. The floor of the Victorian Parliament , and the many good medicine practitioners in this country, tells us exactly how.

I have to raise this issue again because the next government must stop feeding the worry warriors ( who would all have us monitoring our dementia levels ?) to stop the costly bleeding and bleeting in the care stakes.

The next government must again honor our rural children with careers as doctors and switch off their current drug like feed to the city speculators and empire builders to again train and mentor doctors for the bush .

The cost of care will go down and more money will be more wisely spent on prevention and a lot less on panic management.
