mcgowan madness

i can't really disagree with curtin university students protesting against mark mcgowan. though what they are protesting is rubbish.

mcgowan gained his popular status by closing WA borders against covid: the only sensible and acceptable action at the time.
then he degenerated to standard power-mad politician. followed by a well-organised move into the pockets of industrial friends. nothing unusual.

students, too, are at uni to prepare themsekves for a career. eirher study and learn useful skills or practise shouting and abuse to kick off their own political ambitions.
but what were they protesting?
as far as i can tell, the students were on the deaths in custody bandwagon.
sure, mcgowan was one of the many politicians who had no answers... no answers to the wrong question.

not, why do people die and suicide in jail.
the true question is, why are they in jail in the first place.
and, looking for solutions: what can we do to keep children off the path that leads to jail.
