The kissing of babies and the gushing and fawning over children has begun in earnest to impress voting parents.
This morning "erectile dysfunction" advertising was again on daytime radio

Did the MPs above reply to my emails concerning the welfare of young children?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This list
of all Federal Politicians from A-Z shows who replied to my email
relating to something that should concern all reponsible adults.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Did the Rev. Fred Nile, The Govenor General, "Family First's" Fielding, Hillsong's Houston, and others, reply?
To find out, scroll to near bottom of this page.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Two years ago I sent all 150 Federal MPs 3 emails, asking their opinion on the saturation AMI advertising, including the "Longer lasting sex" and "Lasting longer in the bedroom" radio ads on daytime radio.
128 out of the 150 members/office
staff , didn't acknowledge my existence
The MPs shown in RED on this list are all Federal politicians (at the time) who didn't reply to any of my 3 emails, sadly most of the opposition members, (even the one I voted for) ignored my concerns..
I had assumed that they would
agree with me (as most responsible parents or grandparents would), that young children shouldn't be exposed to this
sexually explicit advertising during the day, and like TV "adult content" advertising, it only be allowed on after 8.30pm.
I thought they would
get together, (because they love children as demonstrated by their
kissing of babies and the patting of heads of young kids ) and use their influence to get the radio advertising rules
changed proto,
after all I wasn't whinging about fixing a pothole in the road
outside my house, but was concerned for the welfare of young children.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------.
Obviously
MPs can't personally read all emails sent to them, but they must
only employ staff that know which emails are important.
Any email concerning the welfare of young children should be on the priority list.
How many of these diligent office staff that dismissed my emails, go onto higher office positions in government?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On 60 minutes last Sunday this very subject of kissing babies was discussed
LIZ HAYES: You're already kissing babies. How was that?
TONY ABBOTT: Oh, look, it's all part of political life. If they're
good-looking babies... Every mother thinks her baby is beautiful.
After
hearing Mr Abbott say that "kissing babies is part of Political life"
I was moved to send another email, and on Tuesday March 3rd 2010,
I sent each of the 150 Federal MPs (individually) this email;
.....................................................................................................................
Dear Minister, *
I would like to contribute in at least a small way
to help you contest the next election.
In what could be a fiercely fought election I
suppose every cent counts.
What is the correct procedure when making
donations?
Regards
Hans Stephens
*The emails were all the same except one said Dear Prime Minister
................................................................................................................................................................................
A
little bit cheeky perhaps, but as my other (3) emails on a serious subject
( the welfare of young children) were totally ignored by at least
90% of our leaders, I thought why not.
.......................................................
Well, well, well, within 24 hours 48 "RE donation" emails appeared in my inbox
6 more day # 2
5 more day # 3
1 more day # 4 (Saturday)
more since
Mention concern about inappropriate ads and 22 replies from 3 emails x 150 but offer money and presto.
The MPs shown in RED on this list are all Federal politicians (at the time) who didn't reply to any of my 3 emails, and the ones with the LITTLE RED HEN 
icon have now shown a distinct interest in my new email.
......................................................................................................................
48 replies to one email within 24 hours.
Even MPs took time out from their important duties to reply personally
Full emails are on the revised minister list
10 were
auto computer replies, (some have sent follow up emails) and the rest
were thanks and helpful advice from ministerial staff on how to send my
money.
..............................................................................................
update: May 1 ...... 92 replies from MPs or staff so far
Here is the revised list of MPs (A to Z).
Note the interest in those in Red to my donation proposal.
Does this tell me something about the priorities of our elected leaders.
In my 3 earlier emails I was asking them to help our kids and was virtually ignored.
...................................................................................................................................................................................
So on the The "Longer lasting" sex issue emails, of the 150 Ministers I emailed 3 times 128 didn't reply at all.
11 gave "go somewhere else" replies, some with links, only 11 were in agreement and were helpful.
But I
mention giving money, and 48 ( within 24 hours)and the majority of
these are from MPs/staff, who didn't give a hoot about my
concerns re inappropriate advertising, but now have stuck out their
grubby grasping fingers quick smart.
Which media organization would be interested in this evidence of hypocrisy?

I emailed the Sunday Telegraph after reading an article
Mob: 0428
508 493
Sadly
the paper didn't include my website, but there's time for internet chat
rooms, youtube etc to spread the word about what really is
important to Politicians before the next Poll, or using signs as
per the 2007 State Election

Do any of these people know the story of the little red hen?
In this tale, the little red hen finds a grain of wheat and asks for help from the other farmyard animals to plant it. However, no animal is
willing to volunteer to help her.
At each further stage (harvest, threshing, milling the wheat into flour, and
baking the flour into bread), the hen
again asks for help from the other animals, but again she gets no
assistance.
Finally, the hen has completed her task, and asks who will help her eat the
bread.
This time, all the previous non-participants eagerly volunteer.
However,
she declines their help, stating that no one aided her in the preparation work,
and eats it with her chicks, leaving none for anyone else.

DOMINATING THE SKYLINE ON THE FEDERAL HIGHWAY NEAR CANBERRA
LONG LASTING SEX ISN'T THE ISSUE, IT IS THE EXPLICIT ADULT RADIO ADVERTISEMENTS DURING THE DAY, THAT'S THE PROBLEM.
This
article shows that if the ads are challenged they change them
a bit, whicn creates more publicity before they're made to change
them again.

"MEN, DO YOU WANT TO LAST LONGER IN THE BEDROOM?"
"MEN,
DO YOU WANT LONGER LASTING SEX?"
How
often did you heard those words on the radio and cringed?
If you find them offensive, what about your 6-year old child?
Parents or
grandparents picking up children from school should not have to fend
off questions about "premature
ejaculation" or "erectile dysfunction"
.................................................................................................................................................
What do our elected leaders think of this style of advertising?
I emailed (three times) all 150 Federal Members of Parliament and
them for their opinion on the "Lasting longer in the bedroom" ads.
How did your local Federal member respond?
click here to see full list of Federal MPs from from A to Z and their response (or lack of)
Maybe it would have helped if I'd included a donation..

Should adult
advertising be broadcast only during adult hours and be banned from billboards just like cigarette advertising?
I
thought an email an from our responsible leaders could have
been sent to the minister in charge of media regulations Senator Conroy along these lines:
" Hi Stephen,
We've
had a bloke pestering us about those "lasting longer in the bedroom"
ads, could you get someone to have a look at them, to see if the wording can be made more "child friendly," or at least get them on after hours."
I wasn't asking for the ads to be banned, but to be only on radio at adult times.
Maybe this product is a con see article Sun Herald 24 May 09
and from Hansard

Speaking
of Hansard, another gripe of mine was mentioned in NSW hansard
after I wrote to the St George and Sutherland Shire Leader.

Other people (apart from most Politicians) also share my concerns about inappropriate advertising., as on 4/1/09 an article appeared in The Daily Telegraph titled "ADVERTISEMENTS about a beaver, pizza and male
impotence have topped the list of the commercials we hate."
There was a billboard on a pedestrian bridge across the Princes Highway at Gymea that was mentioned in the Leader
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Today 21/04/09 the ex editor of the Daily Telegrah Mr David Penberthy had this article in the paper and he also thinks that todays advertising crosses the line.

people ther people(apart from

Mr Luke Simkins member for Cowan
thinks that the nasal delivery ads are wrong to be on radio
during the day and made this known in this speech Page 9989 Hansard 22/10/08
Guess who?

For people would show such delight in been seen and photographed with
children, it was mystifying that so few had an opinion on this affront to
the welfare of youngsters.
Member for Bennalong McKew MP
The Hon Maxine McKew MP. Parliamentary Secretary for Early
Childhood Education and Child Care.
The Family First Senator Steve Fielding
(pictured) who used "family" and family values to get elected, doesn't
seem to care about the children in the "family" part of his election
winning party name.
Rev.Nile
Why don't our "leaders" have (or aren't they allowed to have) an opinion?
Update.. Finally the billboards have been banned, or have they, and something new at Gymea.
* The Honorable member for Wentworth, Mr Malcom Turnbull who (or his office), didn't reply to any my 3 emails.
Sadly it seems that adult ads for children is also OK in the opposition camp.
