I, like many men (and women) of my era, regularly proclaim: “I wouldn’t like to be young again and starting all over”.

And this is in-spite of the fact our bodies are in a state of decay, often painfully, and nearing their end.

 How sad an indictment is this of today’s society?

The privileged white male’s main threat appears becoming largely from women of his own species.

For some time now under the guise of “sexual harassment”, men in every walk of life can now be found guilty in the court of popular opinion of sexual harassment, simply because some outraged woman has pointed an accusing finger at them.

Now we see a new phase in this bringing down of the privileged white male: the introduction of a new tactic by women – claims of bullying.

The term “bullying” has now been redefined to cover an all-encompassing and ambiguous meaning where undescribed or unsubstantiated claims from women of bullying by men are accepted as truth.

What’s next?  

And, where will it end?

Prime Minister Morrison's response to the Senate inquiry that found Mr Dutton had mislead Parliament, when Dutton claimed no personal connection to the "au pair" request, is insulting to voters.

His support for Dutton took the form of stating " Labor Party's about stopping au pairs.  We're about stopping boats, criminals, bikie gangs".

How dumb does he think we are?

As far as we voters are concerned Prime Minister, this matter has nothing to do with stopping au pairs.

It has all to do with Dutton misleading Parliament which is a much more serious matter.

Deal with it.

Volunteers are essential for our society, I think they do a good job.

Young people finish school and head abroad to volunteer, which is cool and virtues, they feel good helping the underprivileged and can be a good experience, but maybe they should look at home as well.

The old and vulnerable in our nursing homes are in need of companionship, just someone to sit with them and have a chat.

It is not cool and it won’t get you a pat on the back or get praised for being a good volunteer, but it will help the vulnerable.

My father was in a nursing home, even though my sisters and I would visit him, there where a lot of old and vulnerable people in there that had no one and where all alone.

No visitors or anyone to sit down and have a chat with them.

The old are the ones who supported us and are the ones who made us who we are.

Leaving them in a nursing home and forgetting about them is not virtuous or the right thing to do.
