The "myth of the stolen generations" is Bolt's justification for accepting intervention as the only valid form of Social Welfare. The historical record of the numbers people separated from their families and their personal accounts are simply written off as Social Welfare.
The distress that these interventions caused is referred to as kindness. Bolt simply ignores denies the historical record and here takes a single case as a point of generalization. Even in this example no effort was made to investigate the holistic events that brought it about. The biological parents have no point of view. There is absolutely no effort to examine all the facts only those provided from the foster carers perspective. That's sufficient for Bolt to deny the voices of generations of families that suffered because of their race. Bolt has no interest in the personal experiences of those concerned.
Well that is total bullshit. The traditional form of marriage is not universal it is in fact culturally relative. It differs widely throughout cultures. There is no “universal system of ethics”.
"The Na people of China, interestingly enough, do not incorporate
marriage into their culture. “Mothers exist, as do children, but there
are no dads” (Geertz 202). Sexual encounters occur between the sexes
through “visits” by the man to the home of a female member of the Na"
" In Nepal, Tibetans consistently choose fraternal polyandry for economic
reasons. In this cultural structure, which is extremely rare outside
of Tibet, “two, three, four or more brothers jointly take a wife”"the children of the household “consider all of the brothers as their fathers,”
This is just an aside Saudis, Jews and Women

" Someone in Abbott’s Cabinet is leaking to Peter Hartcher to destabilise
Tony Abbott, and their identity is almost certainly known by Abbott."
" what I see is less than what Hartcher portrays. It is not Abbott on the ropes",
How many times does Bolt let us know there's trouble in Paradise?
Now that's a sign of good leadership!!! The Liberal Party has him on a short leash and Bolt has been scurrying about not knowing which way to turn. Shorten has become his person of interest simply because Abbott continues down problem road.

Thank-you for the Advertisment Andrew Bolt. I'll pass it on.

1)It's quite simple should Bolt ever be allowed compensation in the future because he is a convicted and serial offender. Bolt would obviously say no. Should enquiries be made into his status as an Australian citizen and should his convictions be stamped inside? He is after all of dubious character.
2) The UNHRC is not the Australian UNHRC the Australian government is obliged to fund it if the government refuses to be a signatory to the Human Rights Convention. Is Bolt recommending the the government refuse anything to do with the United Nations in future?
3) So no Bolt it's not our money like yourself when found guilty there is a price to be paid. Remember your criticisms of Popovitch. Would you care repeating them?

Well I'm sure Chris Merrit couldn't give a rat's what Bolt has to say nor could Paul Kelly a far more senior and intelligent writer than Bolt. The once Murdoch editor wondered when and if the currant editors of Murdoch press would shut him down. Paul Kelly doesn't rate Bolt too highly nor call him comrade it would appear. Bolt is like Simon Lagree in Uncle Tom's Cabin can dish it out to Adam Goodes but can't abide by a verbal whipping himself. It's why his blogs are so heavily moderated to constantly allow him to ask "Mirror, Mirror on the wall whose the greatest ". He can hand out personal vilification but reacts badly when it comes his way.
"Indeed, being 55, I am now more an “original possessor” of this land than most Australians with Aboriginal ancestors"
This comes from a position of power the colonizers a historical position which simply forget the past winner take all. Given that Bolt declares that there is no connection to the past any longer then why the need for all this angst in recognition of the First Peoples. They did come before us. They always will have and will always hold that position first. The notion of "First Peoples " is not racial.
"how we’ve really imagined ourselves - as one people bound together by
one law, with each of us judged as individuals and not on the basis of
our “race”, tribe, wealth, class, faith, place of birth or “minority”. Bolt
This is Bolt's abstraction and of those who want the current status quo to remain and notions of difference obliterated. However that's not how we envisage ourselves as one people. Rather we see ourselves as a multicultural nation and our laws try to take that into account when referring to 'mitigating circumstances'. However if the law does take multicultural reality into account it needs to accept the notion of indigenous collectives which Bolt seems to refuse outright. Simply because he doesn't like it is not good enough.
Bolt advocates 'one people' doesn't believe it because he simply lacks "trust". If that isn't a racist position then what is?
"So it’s, er, yes, a race-based Parliament, although, don’t worry, it
won’t have real power. We can buy off the Aborigines with this beads and
blankets symbolism." Bolt
" And, of course, it is divisive, and dangerously so. It is inflammatory.
It will lead to absolutely no good. Once the principle of racial
division is conceded, there will be no stopping the advocates of this
newly tribalised Australia."Bolt
There is a significant difference when between advisory groups formed at grassroots advising from the bottom up from those chosen from the top down. Pearson wants assurance that is what the future will provide. Why should that bother Bolt so much given the groups are a toothless tigers? Further maybe it's what all groups in the community need to insist on given women are saying Abbott hasn't been listening.
Bolt's using the same conservative red herring used against same sex marriage once it's accepted all hell will break loose and who want to marry their dogs or their sisters will all have their hands up. There is a significant difference and the argument is total nonsense.Racist constitution does not reflect who we are

"Name one “populist cheerleader” who has called for Goodes to be booed." That's easy the past few days it's been ultra racist Herald Sun commentator and stirrer Andrew Bolt.
Who has the most credit in this country Bolt the convicted Defamer and Racist or twice Brownlow medalist and Australian of the Year Adam Goodes.
1) It's every Australian's duty to call out bad behaviour even in public places. Had that 13 year old been on a tram ranting anti-Semitic remarks to an Hassidic Jew and publicly reprimanded by Goodes. Bolt would have been applauding him. If the girl's father he role model didn't see fit to stop her then Goodes was perfectly correct to point her out and let her know she was wrong and offencive.
2) Bolt merely finds this an opportunity to label minorities and call them 'reverse racists'. Well I'm sorry Bolt the tail doesn't wag the dog. Minorities of any sort do not have the power. Therefore haven't the ability to be racist no matter how much they complain. Yes Goodes was speaking for his race and in protest and had every right to.
3)As for Bolt's malicious degrading and mocking of Goodes for expressions of pride and his symbolic gestures it just shines a light on Bolt, who like the colonial Dutch Boors showed no respect for anything black or African. However if perceived disrespect was shown then heaven help the black. Bolt's Dutchman's message "a quite word to Goodes is in order" is as much a threat here as in South Africa. There it would mean Goodes football career would be over due to broken body parts. However we are in Australia why is this Boor Bolt? 'On ya': players back Goodes

Every step in and out of Australia spells danger for Bolt. Better to close the doors and pull down the blinds and stick your head up your... Never fear Abbott's here and has been for 18 mths telling us "I will keep you safe trust me". Prior to that why was it we felt so comfortable in our skins? We were living in the best cities in the world and everybody was envious of us.
What happened? Were bombs going off all around us. Did the neighbourhood really change that much that every hipster we saw suddenly became a terrorist threat on a "fixie". Nothing happened!! Abbott got into power and Murdoch media started to tell us who the boogie men were. Within the past 18mths Tony Abbott has spent our Foreign Aid largely on Foreign War and National Security. We were told to cut the "how you going mate" to " what you looking at mother fucker". Tony told us he had to spend billions" to look over us" which really translated to "look more closely at us". In fact we were no longer an "us" because deep among us was a "them" that needed to be found and crushed. Scott Morrison having seen the Cronulla riots told the party that there was political advantage to be found in Mozzie baiting. They were 2% of the population and tended to reside in safe Labor seats.
Scared at home easy go on holiday. After all Indonesia, the Philipines and Thailand are all so so cheap. Be prepared however to be checked if your coming or going because the new priority was looking for "them". Look at airport security in a suspicious way you just might not get on that plane. But then today Andrew Bolt is telling us the place he spent Xmas with his family is no longer safe your because there are more of them out there than there are here. So just don't move stay at home and let Tony look after you.... Don't you feel your being well serviced , looked after under the Morrison Plan.
Savings predicted but not realized as a result of the government's inability to negotiate and unwillingness to tackle their revenue problem have suggest
the over zealous predictions of a near fiscal balance by 2018-19 is exaggerated because it is based on repair initiatives that have
not been legislated. In many cases, are unlikely to ever pass the
Parliament. Actions of government need to be inclusive however Abbott remained the permanent contrarian and exclusive from opposition through to the present.
This government has been operating as if in a vacuum with no one else in the room making one of the least effective governments in our history. Julia Gillard had the highest rate of passing legislation with a rate of 0.495, followed by Bob Hawke at 0.491:Fact check: Did the Government inherit the ‘worst set of accounts’ in history?
