Free speech dying at my university
You risk being labelled “fascist scum” if you happen to be of conservative ilk or simply opposed to communism or radical feminism. If you seek to express a view that doesn’t conform to that espoused by the revolutionary socialist groups on campus, then you are “racist”. Don’t support gay marriage? You’re “homophobic”. Not a fan of unisex toilets? “Transphobic”. Radical, self-obsessed students have initiated this massive smear campaign against any opponents and, in doing so they have significantly shifted the threshold, at least on campus, of these terms."
It doesn't sound as if free speech in danger at all if our pompous Leighton McDonald- Stuart has anything to say particularly as he's an editor on the student magazine. If he's correct we can expect to see all the professions and institutions in Adelaide being filled by leftist radicals of every hew. What chance has the Liberal Party got in Adelaide in fact in Australia with these red graduates let loose in SA. Bolt used to rant about just that. No honest graduates ever came out of universities because the the radical left were in control. It's as if he was determined not to have his kids minds polluted by sending them there.
What we see happening here is seems more like a convenient whinge by a Bolt commenter who has been elevated a few notches to reader for Bolt's convenience. Leighton it seems has paid no attention to Lomborg's professional record and is quite happy to see the academic standards drop in Adelaide for the sake of controversy and a government bribe. I don't know what it is he's studying but he'd certainly better learn the value of $$ before being allowed to run wild spending it. Imagine Andrew Bolt in a few years being made and honorary professor of climate science by appointed by Leighton. Bolt also deems himself to be a climate expert because he has written an article in a self published book.
How could killers of Pearce-Stevenson collect $90,000 of her welfare cash?
" The most ghastly kind of welfare fraud - and the money now offered by the welfare state is big enough to tempt the depraved:" Andrew Bolt
Could anyone come up with a less convincing depraved reason to cut back social welfare. Bolt suggests the amount offered in social welfare today is so large as to be an incentive for murder therefore social welfare payments need to be cut.

Religion of pieces
" Little or no mention is made of the incitement by Palestinian leaders and imams."
It's amazing how much influence Bolt attributes to to a single imam influence he doesn't apply to Netanyahu or even extreme right wing rabbis. The actual level of deaths is avoided by Bolt.
Since January 2005, when the conflict began to change dramatically, it
has killed 4,006 people, of whom 168 have been Israeli and 3,838
Palestinian. That means that, since January 2005, only four percent of
those killed have been Israeli, and 96 percent Palestinian. Since
January 2005, in other words, the conflict has killed 23 Palestinians
for every one Israeli it claims.Jewish Defense League mob attacks Paris journalists

Does Bolt suggest we put men on the ground and go after the bastard? It's great hey Matthew Stewart is fighting the same people we are fighting Assad and ISIS. However Bolt really doesn't go into that he stays simple as possible because he wants to call him a traitor.
So many guns. So many violent people. Melbourne has changed
This is typical Bolt 14,404 offences…With the police reporting their concern about increasing gang crime. Bolt however contradicts this police explanation simply so he can put his anti ethnic slant on it. One person with a Muslim name is cited along with a case where foreign languages were heard. From that Bolt readily determines guilt by little more than innuendo and suggestion. He is such a prick in a white sheet.
" Police are discovering guns in cars every two days in Melbourne’s north-west, which has been dubbed the “red zone” by officers concerned about a growing gangster culture in the region." The police analysis of offences
" The culture in question isn’t just a gangster one, as is clear from the list of shootings in this report:" Bolt's innuendo
Khaled Abouhasna, 39, gunned down in his driveway in Altona Meadows. Under investigation. Bolt's proof
" This morning’s shooting in Thomastown is now a murder. A 3AW reporter
says neighbours held shouting in foreign languages from the house. Many
residents in the street have little English." Bolt's proof
This is teaching attitudes, not history
Is Bolt trying show his wisdom or is he just stating the obvious that all history is relative. That history is a matter of perspective and needs to be seen through the eyes of the person telling it. The "importance" Bolt attaches to what should or shouldn't be taught is inconsequential to the process of learning and understanding history. It's always been Bolt's misconception that there is one truth and training is learning when in fact they are significantly different processes. However one needs to pay attention to the fact that Bolt doesn't actually explain what it is he perceives history to be. There is a hint however that his white man's version of aboriginal history is more accurate than any other. But that's Bolt who believes his knowledge is far more accurate than any other at all times. He rarely if ever apoligises for any errors.
"Is this an attempt to recast traditional Aboriginal society, overwhelmingly male-ruled and violent, as refreshingly feminist?"
Mark Kenny falls for the “drowning island” scare. And Fiona Stanley should step down
Andrew Bolt didn't take us to the moon NASA did. Andrew Bolt understands Climate Science as he does calculus NASA does. So who do you believe?
When you fill a sink, the water rises at the same rate to the same height in every corner. That's not the way it works with our rising seas.
According to the 23-year record of satellite data from NASA and its partners, the sea level is rising a few millimeters a year — a fraction of an inch. If you live on the U.S. East Coast, though, your sea level is rising two or three times faster than average. If you live in Scandinavia, it's falling. Residents of China's Yellow River delta are swamped by sea level rise of more than nine inches (25 centimeters) a year.
These regional differences in sea level change will become even more apparent in the future, as ice sheets melt. For instance, when the Amundsen Sea sector of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet is totally gone, the average global sea level will rise four feet. But the East Coast of the United States will see an additional 14 to 15 inches above that average.
