ANDREW BOLT|Old Dog Thoughts |
News Corporation employs Andrew Bolt and provides him with a platform ensuring the inequality of speech. Bolt's Blog not only advocates conservative, right wing and Tea Party views it moderates out most opposing opinions which he is entitled to do. However Andrew Bolt simply lies when he says he provides an arena for fair and balanced discussion in a no spin zone. He doesn't it's all spin.

Andrew Bolt's Blog,21/4/18; The Alliance Media, Corporations and Government vs Australia; Australia's Racism. Racist banking systematically locked Indigenous Australia out from the get go. Now a Racist White Australia Immigration policy is back;
One day perhaps this government will not treat voters like fools, but it seems we shall have to wait a bit longer. But the real problem for the government is not just that they look shifty, or that they are losing airtime in what should be a time when the talk is about their budget. The problem is that the past two weeks have provided ample evidence to show that their foundational belief about how the economy should operate is in complete tatters. Yes, it was a bad week for the government, but it was an even worse one for unfettered capitalism. What we have seen this past fortnight with the banking royal commission and the revelations about the live sheep trade is what happens when so-called free markets operate without, or with no fear of, regulatory control. There is no benevolent invisible hand leading companies to produce optimal outcomes for the economy – merely a hand that drives action towards higher profits at whatever cost. Capitalism is founded on corporations taking advantage of having more power and information than their workers and customers. It underpins the fraudulent reasoning for the government’s proposed company tax cut for big businesses. Do you really think these businesses, which have consistently ripped off their own customers, will be using such a tax to reward their workers and customers, or will they use it to reward themselves? Underpinning the Liberal party’s ethos is that governments need to get out of the way to let businesses thrive. The problem is in this past two weeks we have seen how they like to thrive.
The Turnbull government is planning a special visa to address a shortfall of thousands of farmers.
If you consider the banks are scammers then LNP reintroduction of preferential visas for White South African Farmers is a return to our shameful racist past. If bankings financial advisors spread bullshit liberally Tony Abbott certainly did as much to spread Liberal Bullshi
Former prime minister Tony Abbott says that around 400 white farmers have been murdered in South Africa over the past 12 months. RMIT ABC Fact Check takes a look at the data.
AFP commissioner Andrew Colvin told Senate Estimates in February that investigating the unauthorised disclosure of government information was not a priority, despite the offence carrying a maximum two-year jail term.
If the Libs have lost the voter's confidence imagine what the Conservatives have lost. They more than the moderates did not want a Royal Commission int the corporate finance sector. They can't even bring themselves to mention the Royal Commission. Abbott can't call it Fake News and Bolt can't begin to amplify what has just been revealed. They haven't the balls to do a Trump. Bolt it seems has just gone into distraction gear talking about what people are wearing treating comedy as politically serious and rubbishing women simply because they seem to want to be men. He's doing it in the hope drawing attention away from anything important as systemic upper-class corporate crime. Again not a word on the normal nature of corporate corruption and it's alliance with corporate media and government. The LNP has, in fact, reversed what was once regarded as the best nation in the world for having survived the GFC that others are still suffering from 9 years later. The reasons for the loss of voter confidence is being reflected in the Royal Commission findings today when comparing it with the one Abbott orchestrated into the Trade Unions which came up with nothing systemic.
Maybe some more Royal Commissions will be called for especially those the Conservatives don't want because they seem to be the most revealing.
WHY BAN WHAT THESE ABORIGINES ONCE DID?
CLIMBING ULURU Climbing Uluru will be banned next year. We're told it goes against Aboriginal culture. Yet Marc Hendrickx says Aborigines used to climb the rock, too. A ban now will rob millions of a pleasure, and current restrictions have already cost the park 70,000 tourists a year. So how do local Aborigines expect to earn a living?
Andrew Bolt wants to avoid addressing the important things that our Capitalist nation is facing at the present moment. That our economic system which he gives pride of place to Capitalism is broken. Broken as a consequence of the Conservative drive to privatise and deregulate. What we have known has now been forced in the open by an unwanted Royal Commission which the right has been resisting for 2 years.This forced investigation has from the get-go revealed the systemic nature of corruption and amorality that has pervaded the finance sector of our society for decades in its chase for profit. Bolt's blog today is one mocking everything but what concerns us all the most it's a pathetic distraction from the realities of crimes committed by our corporate heads. The very nature of the economic system on which we depend systematically has been ripping the nation off. But then Indigenous Australians have known that since invasion day.
Today Bolt trivializes the concern of the traditional owners that millions of tourists are climbing Uluru. Bolt speaks of the cost of 70,000 tourists as being his major concern and as if millions of Indigenous peoples climbed it too basically not listening just mocking their concern. Loss of Tourism doesn't seem however to be of any concern at the loss of 30% of the coral on the Great Barrier Reef. Or the opportunity to insult the Chinese and let them know they are unwanted
Uluru isn't Australia's Cultural heritage unless of course, it's that part of Aboriginal Culture he wants to be Nationalised, appropriated as nothing Indigenous is really worthy of saving in anything other than commercial terms. What Aborigines once did on their land wasn't ever in the millions.
What Bolt does at home is private and isn't in the millions either. Should a celebrity dickhead tour bring tourists and paparazzi to his front door to view his front yard? I believe Bolt would let out a very public scream an outcry about property rights and privacy. If business simply wanted to appropriate his place.
However, nobody is too radical for Bolt if they want to spruik coal. The fact is 65% of our coal-fired plants will be gone, obsolete or out of business by the next decade. The experiment in Clean Coal has been a publicly announced a failure and a waste of $90 mill. So now the renewable energy target which was set by Tony Abbott is now being declared a millstone but not in his name but Turnbull's. It's somewhat like the MXT technology forced on us by Tony Abbott that is now obsolete before it's completion.
What we see is that LNP governments as far back as John Howard determined to do were privatize everything, as many government-owned utilities as possible on the premise that the free market would drive costs down they didn't and now Bolt is demanding a left turn and State forced buyback. Liddell was given away to AGL and are entitled to do what they want according to Conservative principles. It's a fundamental pillar of the Conservative thought which Bolt needs to now twist. AGL certainly sees a future for Liddel but it's not coal.
Bolt turn to Fox News for Michael Barone's comments on what the Democrats are entitled to do legally. Rarely, if not at all, does Fox News turn to or comment on what the President does immorally or illegally because Presidents can't be charged for criminal activities. Why are so many Republicans currently sitting and or simply abandoning the ship as if they are fully aware that they can't win? 43 have announced their retirement from office so far.
If only Bolt had the ratings Wilkinson commands. She doesn't need a suit to mask one's true self. Bolt has been hiding behind his entire life as have the directors at AMP and the four banks.
These are the issues that concern suits manners and the queen's English. Bolt insists on style over meaning or substance. The Victorian gentleman he is still regarded members of the Arts and those ill-dressed as having little more to say than prostitutes and pimps. For Bolt, the directors at AMP and the Banks are far more genuine and worth listening to.
Bolt has been on about this for weeks trying to claim Mitch a better Comedian than any the ABC have to offer up and you know he's right. But the topic is a little stale and time has moved on Bolt needs to catch up to date with what's going on at the Royal Commission.
1h You see it's the fault of the Turnbull Government for allowing the Royal Commission to go ahead. That reminds me of Abbott's quote when NSW Liberals were caught taking bribes from developers. Abbott said it was the "fault of the laws"
Bolt is blaming Turnbull for what well not "fake news" he hasn't the balls to do a Trump. But he is blaming him for allowing the truth to come out. Somehow Bolt and Markson are pushing the line that governments aren't there for the good of the country only for the good of themselves. But that's why they are so fucked and that's why Abbott was dumped. Did we hear Tony Abbott working hard from the backbench pushing for this Royal Commission which the people wanted?
