So the BBC shows a clip of a play that opened in London's Soho theater that night. Is Bolt making a statement about this irreverent feminist play? He cant be as this is all he has seen of it. Is he making a comment on Tim Blair who also makes no comment. Is this about 2 nerds trying to make a comment about the BBC for showing the clip by showing the clip ? We will never really know and I suspect Bolt and Blair may never know either. I might add that a 1 minute take on Dame Edna's very very first show might have had as much appeal to a TV audience as this. Who knows? Blair and Bolt we guess do.
Julia Gillard Rushed To Hospital After Overdosing On Schadenfreude.
As to "the change of what" referred to here this seems a reasonable response.
Lenore Taylor makes the point in her analysis that by attacking Tony Abbott’s policies, government dissidents appear to be establishing a path for a new leader, if we do see a change.
Carefully raising some of Tony Abbott’s most unpopular moves is an
effective way to appeal to other disaffected MPs and keep the
destabilisation spiralling in the absence of any declared alternative
candidates to spruik.
If the leadership changed, it would also give a new leader concrete
things to change – even if they had sat in the cabinet that made some of
the decisions being criticised. That would be a better start to a new
prime ministership than saying something lame like “we were a good
government that lost its way” as Julia Gillard was forced to do. It is
laying the groundwork for a new leader to have a chance of giving the
electorate a reason for the change. That doesn’t necessarily mean the
electorate would buy the rationale, but it would at least give a new
leadership team something to say.
"It’s hard to get a read on Abbott these days. Too often, there is
awkwardness there, unsure footing, maybe even insecurities. It would
only be normal, after all. Abbott is a complex man, far more complex
than his critics understand. Despite Abbott’s fighting words at the
National Press Club on Monday, it’s possible that if a leadership
challenge looks likely, he may ignore the golden rule of politics that
most leaders will slay dragons to stay in the top job.Why? Because Abbott is not like most leaders. In the final act of
loyalty, almost martyrdom, he may well hand over the leadership with no
blood on the floor. Don’t count on it. But don’t count it out either."..Janet Albrechtson
Bolt is just pointing out and reminding us of Napthine's vengeful blackmail tactic preelection. However he's also reminding us that corporations have no respect for any civic responsibility other than profit. The Federal government is in sercret talks with transnational corporations as we speak negotiating the TPP. Does anybody believe these corporations are signing any agreement to civic responsibility. Bolt merely is decrying a possible loss of some money a symptom of what went before it he has no heed for to cut the cancer that brought it about. He's is such a superficial commentator. A drone in the Murdoch media hive.
Fact Fox in USA is trusted by 25% of the population despite the fact that only 8% of what it reports is true. That's the Murdoch's media hive. Don't citizens deserve to be informed and provided with an element of truth? Bolt is a drone.
The political assault on
Tony Abbott from his Queensland colleagues continues with Brisbane Liberal member
Teresa Gambaro writing an opinion piece this morning that offers frank advice to her leader.
It is not enough for leaders to listen: they must also hear. A leader
must create a team and champion the good performances of team members,
not be fearful of them. And finally, a leader should not lie – to their colleagues or the Australian people.
The truth is often difficult, but any political figure who looks the
public in the eye and betrays their trust is not worthy of office.
I want to be part of a government that can look the Australian people
in the eye and honestly say – we have listened to you, we have heard
you and we will work with you in the best interests of our nation.
We must be part of an ongoing conversation with the Australian
people that is longer than 140 characters and does not peddle mindless
political ideology.
This seems far more current and less of a deflection Mr Bolt than your blog
Interviewing Clive Palmer is something the ABC does given his party achieved 5% of the vote in Qld. Bolt doesn't believe in Australian minorities or that they should be heard. Except of course his mistaken success of a Dutchman in the NT. Intellectual disability in the media is signalled by blinkered and narrow focus which Bolt has an abundance of.
Let's remind Bolt the Ultra Racist that even his hero Abbott no longer calls these terrorists IS but Daesh which they hate. This now applies to the US as well. Bolt however prefers to give these terrorists the credence that they seek, that they are somehow representative of the Islamic world why? He remains an asset for Daesh. This terror group believes any news is good for them. Bolt does too as it fuels his assimilation's and anti-Islam position. It also attempts to justifies our government's increased NS & harsher asylum policies which have placed us on the UNHRC worst list and to be watched.
We happen to be in Iraq our allies the Saudi's behead as do our allies who are fighting Daesh in Iraq. They have no qualms in burning, crucifying, or killing, no massacring people and are doing it now and with our help. You couldn't get more numbing than our support for these despotic dictatorships . Ones we have supported and have given rise to these extreme terrorists. These dictatorships were in fact once their greatest funders as was the US. Bolt's hypocrisy is showing his racism trialed in our courts. He is simply anti-Islam ans has no interest in the politics this war is a symptom of.
"The Islamic State is numbing our sense of horror. It is also destroying
the comfortable liberal conceit that to expose evil is to destroy it, or
at least bring shame and repentance to the sinners."

Given Bolt's errors in the blogs below it doesn't surprise to see Bolt declare the ABC incompetent. However the same report is in the Age as well. I last heard it was Fairfax and a private organisation.
Murdoch did tweet to get rid of Credlin. Abbott isn't his favourite MP any longer and he does have a history of throwing men overboard and even swapping sides when it serves him well. Jones and Faine happen to air after the newspapers come out and are merely reporting what's already out there. Bolt accusations are yet another self serving fizz .However the "critical chorus" is well known as editors who control what's published go out of their way to support their paymaster. The argument has an international ring to it as has been seen to apply across the News Corp organisation world over. News Corp media is as fair and balanced as Pravda was once in the Soviet Union. As for Bolt claiming his support for Credlin it's bullshit. He has constantly accused the PMO of being a shambles at best removing Credlin and putting a member of parliament to lead it. What backhanded compliments Bolt makes.
I repeat Bolt remains little more than Murdoch's drone. Drones don't need direct instructions from their queen in this case king the whole hive knows what they are. Privatize the ABC foremost, nobble the NBN, and ensure the deregulation of our media laws. In other words allow for the control and ownership of the technologies of speech to be monopolised. Specifics that Bolt argues are the minutiae when it comes to a hive and it's corporate raison detre
Even Bolt can do little more than make a desperate bleat from the sidelines. He himself has declared the LNP a lost cause that nobody has the qualifications and the skills of Abbott. If that's the case he's declaring Australia has a one man band government and every reason for LNP not to be there. If he was talking about a sports team it's the equivalent of a cry to relegate.
How many times have we heard Bolt declare this same reasoning? Give him a chance for another few months what's there to lose. Bolt's obviously not on the side of the voting public and is merely squeak for Abbott and not a very convincing one at that.
Monty Python did it best in their sketch of the armless and legless knight challenging his enemies with severe tooth damage in a duel to the death. Abbott however has false teeth. He is not a team player he has ignored the call more than once but is prepared to sink the ship.
Wasn't it Bolt crowing yesterday and prematurely reporting that this was the first Dutchman to be elected leader in the history of this country. Bolt is in the privileged position of being a member of Australia's biggest private news outlet. One that has access to facts far in advance of us mere mortals and he can't in his over enthusiasm report facts correctly. The man is a dud shoots blanks and yells bang.
