Simon,

It is called projection. The people running governments and their enforcers think everybody is like them. Much of the population just wants to get on with their own lives and not run anybody else's life by holding guns to their heads. Unfortunately there are monsters out there and that's why we need police.

In the Northern Territory, the police have a higher incidence of domestic violence, mental illness, and homosexuality than the general demographic. Then they give these people guns. This group is then charged with performing a check on the population to pass judgment that in ‘their’ opinion, people are not unsuitable to be allowed near kids. In the ‘70’s in Queensland the famous Constable Dave was the face of the police up there. Turns out he was a proper bad pedophile.
Don’t shoot me; just pointing out the reality.

I reckon slow flying tug pilots are a far worse threat to the gliding population (especially the kiddies)…..

Goodonya Gavin.

I was required to provide a police check for a volunteer organisation recently. Interest died instantly. My wife was also asked by an organisation she has done voluntary work for, for many years. Instant resignation. It really has begun to go too far when you feel your reputation has to be impugned in areas where the risks are minimal.
No problems with it in a (very) few areas though.

Sorry Bernard, I'm not sufficiently interested in this pc bullshit (good for beaurocrats and harmless to paedophiles) to bother until the arm twisting begins. I already have to do this in the UK as an instructor and in the NT as a registered teacher. Dunno about NZ yet, I'll find out when I get there in December. Dont be so helpful...it only encourages the b....'s. (beaurocrats?).
