TURNBULL BACKS FREE SPEECH REFORMS

Malcolm Turnbull backs reforms to the Racial Discrimination Act, but leaves in a word so subjective that a Leftist judge could still ban a lot: 'Turnbull has struck a compromise deal ... expected to retain the offences of humiliate and intimidate on the grounds of race, but abolish ­“insult” and “offend” in favour of a new higher test of “harass”.'

 

Bolt can't win so he's happy to try and take crumbs and declare it as a win. However it's neither as it has to get through the Senate. Narrowing the the meaning of the Act simply will assist vilifiers rather than protect their victims and it will do nothing for 'free speech'. Bolt was charged and convicted under Section 18C because it was found he had no defense as a commentator under Section 18D of the RDA and the two go together. Bolt's tone and lies yes untruths were found not to be just casual  accidental errors but intentional instruments to boost the racial vilification of his victims.  He stood in court as the emperor with no clothes.

The fact is that less than 5% of complaints brought to the AHRC are even investigated under the Act  and the majority of those that are are found not to comply. Andrew Bolt might not have been found guilty if these changes are made because 'harass' refers to repeated acts which he could easily avoid while still a vilifier and despite failing  Section 18D .  For these reasons I believe the bill won't pass because Australians are much fairer than that.

In order that the public remain informed of the law  as ignorance is no defense the AHRC is duty bound to publicize what the law is as it stands and  that is significantly different from 'touting for business' as Bolt maintains the AHRC is doing. When confusion reigns and it is confusion that Andrew Bolt tries to bring to the table on the matter of 'free speech' the public deserve clarification   The RDA isn't a game of blind man's bluff which conservatives wish to make it with their submissions of reverse racism like Senator Leyonhjelm brought. Section 18c: Senate crossbench poised to kill off substantial changes to race hate laws

The biggest failure Bolt faces is the fact that there has never been an example of a country where 'freedom of speech' actually existed. His whole argument has no basis in time or place he's simply reduced it to a moot point as he does when he claims he is more indigenous as most Aboriginal Australians. It is meaningless posturing with no basis in reality.

Where's Ed, the no-speech commissioner?

It is now seven months since the Turnbull Government appointed Ed Santow to replace Tim Wilson as a Human Rights Commissioner with a salary of more than $300,000 and a "primary responsibility for the Commission’s work on freedom of expression". Can anyone recall a single thing Santow has since done to argue for free speech? So why is he there?

So now we know Andrew Bolt's sources of verification are Google and Wikipedia. That's his standard of journalistic excellence. Any invetagative work that journalists do fades to nothing when set against Bolt's Google standard. 

All Bolt needed to have done to answer his question was to turn to his own News Corp masthead to find his answer. Yes it's in The Australian

"Mr Santow, the chief executive of the Public Interest Advocacy Centre, said unlike Mr Wilson — now a Liberal candidate for parliament — he was not a “political animal” and aimed to “take the political heat out of human rights”.

“I’m much more pragmatic about what works (rather) than trying to see things through a particular ideological prism." Santow AM - New human rights commissioner wants to remove 'political heat .

As usual Andrew Bolt stands alone in his capacity as Australia's one and only juornalistic jester Mr Ed Santow is doing what he's paid to do and not doing what Bolt does when he's not being a journalist or commentator.

This is lining up to be a typical Bolt blog day useful for English teachers of clear thinking to show students what failure means.

 

 

 

 

MUNDINE: "STOLEN GENERATIONS" NO EXCUSE

I say the "stolen generations" are a myth. Warren Mundine does not agree. But we are united on this: the "stolen generations" is now being used as a disgraceful excuse to keep Aboriginal children in dangers from which we would save them if they were white. This cannot go on.

 

  "I say the "stolen generations" are a myth. Warren Mundine does not agree." " Children are being sacrificed for an ideology and this cannot go on."Bolt

Slippery as an eel failing history 101. History isn't just the "official" records that's why Bolt's a flop. It's why the Royal Commission into juvenile justice proves he's a flop and the guards aren't the victims. The revelations of Bindoon in WA prove the official record isn't the historical fact. So to make himself even more stupid than he is Bolt says in a condescending manner that "children are in danger" all children are and nobody left or right deny that but are Aboriginal children treated differently and if so why? Is there any real justification for that difference? Bolt's twisted evidence of Aboriginal stereotyping boils down to the fact that 87% of those in care have parents with alcohol problems.  However that's not the case of 87% of Aboriginal families or Aboriginal Culture it is the case of implied biased stereotyping which is then used to justify racist treatment of children in danger. It's this thinking coupled with archaic anthropolgy as justification that makes Bolt a racist.

Yes children do need care left right and center agree but not necessarily the care that robs them of their idenities. If Bolt's children needed care and I believe they once did what would Bolt have said if I'd had them fostered with Waleed Aly's family? Surely there is more than just removal of children that is needed to be considered? However not as far as Bolt is concerned.

He is stating the obvious and equivocating his denial of history and context is the denial of analysis and refusal to accept difference his one case fits all approach doesn't suit him when applied to himself but it does to those he deems "others".

 

BUTLER BLIND TO ABC BIAS. AND SKY SHOWS WHY

Labor frontbencher Terri Butler is deaf or dishonest: "Butler said broadcasters such as Sky News differ to the ABC as they have 'a lot of opinion mixed in with the broadcast'... She said she did not believe ABC News is biased in its reporting." In how many ways does Butler deceive?

Bolt is against comparing the ABC and Skye he's only interested in contrasting the two. In other words there is no necessity for comparison which takes into account similarities as well as diferences. Contrasting the two only focusses on the differences. So when Bolt says the ABC is biased he's saying Skye is not. When Bolt declares the Q&A panel to be politically unbalanced he's saying the The Bolt Report is. He knows  this argument won't wash so he ducks by saying "For a start, the ABC, being taxpayer-funded, has a statutory duty to be impartial. Sky News, being a privately owned subscription channel, does not."Bolt.  Which when investigated has always been proved to be the case. Even when the investigations were carried out by a panel chosen by Conservatives. The Board chose CEO's when headed by Conservatives Scott and Gutheridge aren't the radical left Bolt makes out. When Tony Abbott refused to go on the ABC he did so because the ABC were doing their job for the people and not the government. What Bolt finds threatening is the diversity of opinion presented by the ABC which in terms of the electorate is impartial because everybody is being questioned and not just the 8% who focus is anti- marriage equality etc etc

"Former ABC chairman Maurice Newman says the bias is so pervasive that the ABC may have to be scrapped or sold." Does anybody find it strange that it was Newman that fought to appoint Scott CEO? Does anybody believe the most trusted news source in the country 'will' be dismantled by even the most conservative of governments with a majority in both houses? Ask why Skye News can't attract an audience? Why are Andrew Bolt's ratings such a secret? Why is News Corp happy to allow print and Skye to bleed money?

The problem Bolt is entitled to say the dondale guards are the heros and the victims of Dylan Voller because he's Private. The ABC isn't allowed to report his opinion and question it because they are publicly sponsored. Leaving people with the argument from both sides and a question is not according to Bolt being impartial. Well without the ABC the information wouldn't be provided the arguments presented or the question asked along with the express knowledge what the presenter thinks. That's impartial laying all the cards on the table not just some as does Bolt who claims no foul no favor and here is saying  he is paid to lie when he says it.

 

The ABC safe from reform

Last week MYOB was one of the companies demanding the Turnbull Government legislate for same-sex marriage. This week its chairman - a friend of Malcolm Turnbull is made chairman of the ABC. I suspect the Left's stranglehold will not be broken.

 If Bolt starts attacking all Company Directors he just might find himself squeezed by the commercial interests of News Corp. He's finding things difficult when the power companies are calling for a carbon tax. These things were never meant to have happened.

 

 

 

WHY CAN'T TRUMP JUST BE PRESIDENT?

He won the election. Why can't Donald Trump just take that massive win and do the damn job? Why tweet wild claims and just make trouble for himself? Now this: "FBI Director James Comey has ... rubbished the President’s claim that his campaign was wire-tapped by the Obama administration." No wonder Trump's poll numbers aren't great.

Because he's the man Bolt described back in October 12th 2016 the dufus that Bolt supports and hopes will change. When the polls show this discrepancy around Turnbull  Bolt's a hysteric around Trump balanced consideration is required by the unbalanced commentator

 

 

 

NEW ACTU BOSS IS A BOYCOTT-ISRAEL BIGOT

New ACTU secretary Sally McManus not only thinks unions like the CFMEU have a right to break the law. She also supports a boycott of Israel, a group punishment of Jews that implies they are the prime cause of Muslim violence and unrest in the Middle East. And so this old sickness spreads.

  "She also supports a boycott of Israel, a group punishment of Jews that implies they are the prime cause of Muslim violence and unrest in the Middle East:"Bolt

 When Bolt sticks his head up he just  shows his ignorance again and again Israel says it's a Democracy and as yet it's not a Jewish State it's neither.  Jews are for BDS as well something Bolt won't acknowledge. He prefers undemocratic and apartheid Israel where non Jews are treated as second class citizens even being dictated to on which side of the street thay can walk.  Orthodox Jews are all automatically on Social Welfare, Israeli terrorism is protected and journalists arrested.  This is the social space Bolt admires.

Of course Israel is the center of conflict in the Middle East and Nth Africa. The dismantling of the Arabic Secular States was planned as far back as the 80's and has been executed over the past 2 decades. The appropriation and theft of Palestinian land has been going on for years. As a result

Anti Israel sentiment is spreading worldwide because secrets can no longer be kept  and that has nothing to do with being Jewish. Bolt's  stupidly tells us Ivanka is an orthodox Jew why because she votes Republican? Is that to make the Donald kosher and not an anti- Semite. He's put wind in the sails of more American anti-Semites than anybody before as has Andrew Bolt here. Sally McManus and BDS is not anti-Semitic but justifiably anti-Israel.

 

 

 

TOTALITARIAN GAYS TARGET IBM CHRISTIAN

On last night's radio show I asked whether the CEOs who last week backed gay marriage would tolerate dissent from their underlings. We may soon find out as same-sex totalitarians now target IBM for having a managing partner who is Christian. This fascism is now so serious that gay marriage can't be legalised without a law upholding free speech.

One thing that was spotted long ago abot Bolt the advocate of 'free speech'  and the identifier of totalitarian and fascist actions was 1) he didn't know the meaning of Fascism  that there was poofter bashing but there was no hetro bashing and 2) he is on record refusing his own sister a LGBTQI married in Canada and living in Adelaide the right of response to his comments on his Blog site. His actions are far more in line with Fascism than protesting LGBQTIs

 Bolt says he prizes family and tradition and what it represents but it seems he's struck his sister off moderated her for simply her contrasting opinions and life style. I wonder if he ever talks to any of the other members of his extended family.

 

 

 

TURNBULL APPOINTS MATE. ABC SAFE

Last week MYOB was one of the companies demanding the Turnbull Government legislate for same-sex marriage. This week its chairman - a friend of Malcolm Turnbull is made chairman of the ABC. I suspect the Left's stranglehold will not be broken.

 

Bolt makes no effort whatsoever to check the qualifications of the new chairman of the ABC. Isn't it Bolt who maintains we live in a meritocracy a competitive world in which the cream rises to the top. Doesn't Bolt presume to think he is a self made man? However he proves to us the opposite is true. He doesn't believe in any of that crap. It's more important who you know than what you know. Kids aren't sent to private schools for a better education but a better opportunity to network. As has always been suggested Andrew Bolt married his way to the top. That's why his father in law was so important a figure in his life. It's certainly not the quality of his work.
