IF TONY JONES IS ISLAM'S ENEMY, THEN WHO ISN'T?

A Muslim on Q&A speaks of wanting people to be "afraid" of him. Yet when host Tony Jones anxiously gives him the chance to explain that he means he wants to be feared for his words rather than actions, it is Jones who is accused of damaging the image of Islam. We are in dangerous times, where even Islam's excusers are treated as the enemy.

Here we have the perfect example of the minority White Nationalist Christian Supremecist doing exactly what Ahmad says is the problem. We allow a minority to voice opinionated ignorance to the majority of Australian society as if their opinions represent us and what's occurring around us. Bolt should be afraid. He doesn't represent anything other than the money and power a juggernaut resource to voice in his case News Corp division. The extreme right is prepared to divide a community of Indigenous, Muslims, Africans, Women and Refugee Migrants who have every reason and right to be angry.

Ahmad is Andrew Bolt a second generation immigrant who Bolt says doesn't belong yet says, he does when he is one too. Bolt, however, wants to plant his foot on Ahmad's head until he says surrender but surrender is the very opposite of what needs to be expressed. Bolt is Blair Cottrel in a suit with access to our, screens, print press, and social media, attempting to drown out the voices that ask us to THINK for a moment but haven't the access to the resources to remind us as constantly, Bolt has. Simply look at what he did to Yassmin Abdel Magied a girl far, far above his intelligence grade. What Bolt's doing is playing a serious game of whack a mole when people like these get a moment to speak up. Look what he's been doing to the African Community in Australia 11 were in fact on the first fleet.  Bolt would never tell you that. Yes, Bolt is speaking from a position of fear and duly deserved.

 He is ignorant of the fact that while he's an elite aspirant and has been all his life it seems the true elites he's speaking for don't regard him as one of them just as they still don't regard the wealthy Jews, or Catholics as really a part of their power club. Is it any wonder that Bolt doesn't Holiday at Portsea or Surfers Palestine he's just a hack.
Speaking of whack a mole Bolt will even wack News Corp's social media site for reporting Ahmad's views

" Why does news.com.au think this person's view is worth reporting above those of millions of other Australians?"Bolt

Because Bolt he is one of us the millions of Australians that disagree with you. Like Victor Chang's son, he too is telling you to shut up and not Michael Mohammed Ahmad

WHO IS BEST TO SELL ABBOTT'S POLICIES?

Malcolm Turnbull now has Tony Abbott's policies on global warming, and must adopt Abbott policies on immigration as well if the Liberals are to win. But who would be the best leader to argue for Abbott policies - Malcolm Turnbull or Tony Abbott?  To respond "Peter Dutton" is an evasion.

25m
No supporting links here for Bolt and it seems he really is struggling for something to say." Peter Dutton might be a good replacement to sell Abbott's ideas". Just look at the combined history of buffoonery of both of these men, self-interest has only been their goal and has tripped them up at every turn and the outcome produced chaos for the country. Which then Bolt blames the majority of Australians for their rejection of them what a never-ending circle of excuses they create. The reality of our predicament can be found resting squarely in Abbott's hands even when you look at energy pricing

COALITION WOMEN GO MISSING

The Coalition's female MPs have failed to stand up and be counted. Are they too risk averse and conformist?  Of the 13 Coalition MPs who said they could vote against Malcolm Turnbull's dud National Energy Guarantee, not one is a woman.

18m

Bolt's showing his misogynistic streak and whacking all the women in the Liberal Party. What's new he has little regard for them. When they do speak up they are quickly labelled "frightbats" when they don't they are a waste of time. It's what we can have expected from him. But is it any wonder given Tony Abbott's and the ultra-conservative attitude as well and what they have had to face at the hands of these alpha men throughout the course of Liberal history. Abbott's attitudes are well documented towards them. Facing the thought of Abbott and the Monkey Pod room back in power is sufficient to show which side they are on. Strange isn't it the women may just yet do what's best for the country.

TURNBULL DEFEATS DUTTON: 48 TO 35. NOT ENOUGH

Malcolm Turnbull has called a leadership vote at this morning's party room meeting. Peter Dutton has said he will stand against him. The vote is on.

1m

There are no surprises here other than a party ready to lose. The biggest joke coming from Tony Abbott "loyalty has to be earned and not demanded" He remained hidden while orchestrating this playing Liar's Poker all the way. Are we really heading for Trumpland?

The word on the street

Our reporters in Melbourne have been hitting the streets to find out what the feeling is outside this building. Nathan Stitt spoke to a few people in Hawthorn. 

One called it a disappointment:

"It's very disappointing more than anything. More than anything I think we need stability and confidence, especially for business. That's what the economy is lacking. That's why it's not growing as much as it should."

Another punter said it was all just a waste of time:

"I think it [the spill] was a waste of time to be honest. As long as they've got Tony Abbott in there stirring up it's never going to be a good thing. "

And you, dear blog readers, seem to say the same:

How naive is Dutton? He has been used by Abbott to damage Turnbull and I doubt if Dutton will hold his seat much less ever be a serious contender for leader.
-Peter Monahan

Just get on with running the country and lining your own pockets. Australia has had enough of the internal politics of each party. Sort your houses out and stop being morons.

U-G-L-Y

You ain't got no alibi. Our political editor Andrew Probyn is describing this as an ugly day in Australian politics, despite some within the Government trying to put a positive spin on the leadership spill. 

"A few are saying that we're simply getting on with it and that there was jubilance, which is clearly rubbish. There won't be jubilance.

"There was deep sarcasm in some of the comments coming through.

"These are ugly days. This is an ugly day. It's an horrific result for the Prime Minister against, effectively, an unchaired candidate — someone who is simply presenting himself as the option.

"There's been no campaigning. He hasn't been calling, he's been very careful not to be calling. And indeed, the calls were coming on for people on his behalf."

48 TO 35: TURNBULL'S "VICTORY" PROVES HE IS DOOMED

Column Malcolm Turnbull has “won” today’s leadership vote against Peter Dutton, but it’s a victory that kills him and his tottering government. The Prime Minister ambushed the Home Affairs Minister by calling a surprise vote at today’s meeting of Liberal MPs but still only won narrowly — 48 votes to 35. Result: Turnbull has simply proved he is doomed.  

10m 

What is Andrew Bolt actually saying here that we don't already know he's far from insightful just another camp follower of Abbott no more than that he's an employee of Murdoch's and has no free will. Never for a moment has he really considered what was best for the country only what was best for the interest of a minority cabal. Abbott's media drum banger will however be expecting his dog's reward and the rescinding of the RDA and the sections under which he was convicted. Personal or in Australia's interest one might ask?
Should Abbott win the leadership however he won't be taking that proposition to the next election. Nor allowing the banks to have a free reign. He's had his Royal Commission into Trade Unions and Industrial Superfunds which found nothing. Once again Abbott will need a war and will carbon copy what Trump does he's purely remained the least productive PM since John Gorton when it comes to passing bills the work PMs are paid to do. Yet he'd be the highest paid PM in the OECD running one of the smallest countries. He managed to fuck it up the first time despite Bolt banging on calling out "He's changed, He's Changed. HE"S CHANGED". Here he is back with a rush of blood spouting "he's earned loyalty"
Speaking to people in Conservative Hawthorn and other places shows no indication that the political Golum has boosted his stocks.

Bolt's balanced panel of debate a chorus of camp followers.

ON TONIGHT: TURNBULL CHALLENGE, WITH LATHAM, BERNARDI, ABETZ, HENDERSON, SCOTT

 

ABBOTT VS DUTTON

Tony Abbott vs Peter Dutton: who would be best to sell an Abbott agenda?

21/08/201832

Why were Abbott smiling so much at each other if they were challenging themselves? Nudge Nudge Wink Wink!!

Selling a pup or better a dead moggy "While he has never been popular, he is a known quantity and the public would understand the natural justice in his return. Voters gave him a landslide victory in 2013 and he is revered by friend and foe alike as an effective campaigner. Abbott would also bring enormous experience to the job."Kenny

Beware of Murdoch Media kidnapping Australia. Kenny is totally contracted to News Corp and Sky. Just another paid assassin.

 

AFL CONSULTS WALEED BUT NOT ME. WHAT COULD THAT DIFFERENCE BE?

I am also a Richmond fan and TV presenter who has never played AFL. If I convert to Islam will I be consulted, too? "Waleed Aly was consulted by the AFL as part of its investigation into the state of the modern game."

35m

Waleed is representative of Richmond supporters he was an active member at Richmond Andrew Bolt well does he attend games is he a supporter in name only or part of the community? Would Bolt be welcomed into the club rooms is he wanted? Obviously not! Waleed Aly mixes with and lives life as an Australian. Bolt doesn't he watches, holidays abroad, hates public meetings when he hasn't a performance to do, and claims it's shyness. However, it's fear and well deserved because he remains aloof arrogant on guard and sponsors a platform of hate that deserves and produces anger which then he flips claiming victimhood here in the form of crocodile tears and Richmond.

TURNBULL 'WILL BE THE LONGEST-SERVING" PM

Fairfax columnist Elizabeth Farrelly in November, 2015: "Malcolm is different. His intelligence has light in it... So here's my prediction. Malcolm – who like Beyonce is known universally by his first name – will be the longest-serving prime minister since Menzies. Possibly ever." So which other commentators confused their dreams with reality?  

41m

We live
in a fool's Paradise when liar's poker is the name of the game. It's just another episode of Australian Survivor. We know Tony Abbott is the king of liars playing a game at the cost of a country.

SKY THE MONSTER

Did anyone else see what reader Nettie describes? Any details of who and when?: "Channel 9 had a team outside Sky yesterday morning grilling Simon Birmingham as to why he went on Sky when they are hostile to Malcolm Turnbull? But the irony !! I didn't see any Channel 9 team outside the ABC when it was relentlessly decimating Tony Abbott."

1h

Sky has no defence when it comes to selling Fake News. They even admit they aren't in the News Business but the Peter Foster business of the big con. Thank God for our ABC.

TURNBULL MUST GO

Malcolm Turnbull has not just destroyed the Liberals but his own leadership and Tony Abbott should replace him. But Peter Dutton would also be better,  and - as you hear from my audio of Abbott backing Dutton while young Liberals cheer - he, too, could mobilise the base. Either way, Turnbull must go. My editorial on The Bolt Report. 

1h

Somehow any surprise Murdoch came to town and we are seeing News Corp singing Sympathy for the Devil. It's as if Murdoch gave Abbott the nod and the amp was turned on. Now MSM because of it's chase for the bottom line is compelled to battle each other for the most striking headlines rather than the most informed.

STEVIE WONDER BLAMES WARMING FOR ARETHA FRANKLIN'S DEATH

Stevie Wonder is the epitome of the global warming alarmist, blaming global warming for the death of Aretha Franklin: "I just feel that all these various diseases that we have and all that is happening in the world in part is because there are those who don’t believe in global warming, don’t believe that what we do affects the world."

1h
When Bolt has an impossible time and difficulty in whacking science, business and technology he looks for individuals to whack and then claims they are representative of not rational or reasoned thinking like his based on pure "me" not "we" self-interest. The dominant feature of Bolt's attack is that he rarely turns to the reality of the very market forces he believes in. They have been abandoning his denials in droves and he doesn't single any of them out in case they give a rational response. So Stevie Wonder becomes the target of his bovver boy joke.
