Andrew Bolt's Blog, 18/6/15; Newscorp method of news collection; Bolt's Barricade Lie;Kill Bill; Bolt's shoolboy inverse arguments; Of course we can talk race when Bolt stops being the victim; Murdoch's resigned to take control of Australia; Bolt's Labour distortion, Conservative joy all Schadenfreude;

 

 

 

 

"Government legal adviser says powers for minister to revoke citizenship without court conviction unconstitutional"

A conviction needs to be established first. Just because and Australian is in Raqqa trying to help his or her grandparent does neither make him a traitor nor a terrorist. Abbott's policy does and put's Australian lives at risk.In the hands of a minister of the calibre of Peter Dutton is certainly a travesty. The man is a proven serial mistake maker. Here is a case in point doesn't this doctor deserve a court judgement rather than Peter Dutton's decision?  Australia arrest warrant for ‘IS medic’ Tareq Kamleh

 We have the rule of law and rights of citizens are protected under the constitution. Bolt argues that the indigenous shouldn't be a special case yet wants to now make exceptions of dual citizens distinct from citizens In other words to be treated differently. Who has " stuffed up badly." Even if applied to all citizens rights protected under the constitution would be removed.

 Bolt is such an unprincipled person it's unbelievable that he even calls himself a conservative he's not. Conservatives believe that the rule of law is paramount to democracy not rule by executive decision.

Which policy would make Australians safer well given 3000 women die of domestic violence annually that over 1000 die in car related deaths and only 1 in in a terrorist attack Abbott's policy is overkill and appears more a political overkill. Abbott's description of Death Cult does not ring true. However you wont hear that from Bolt

 Islamic State Deepens Its Roots by Offering Important Services. Shhhhh You can’t hear that


 

Why did Burke and Dastyari re-enact Labor’s hell?

Link paywall and AFR 

 " When she puts her credibility up against that of Martin Ferguson, both offering different accounts of a conversation about a possible challenge, Gillard loses every time."

It's amazing here is Newscorp showing just how it goes about collecting and reporting news. 1) They go to the ABC 2) They get the news from the ABC entertainment section 3) Opinion and public relations take priority over research and information 4) If Abbott isn't firing go to history or anywhere other than the present. Character assassinate anybody else you can find you just cant keep apologizing for a twit.

UPDATE

YOU WONT HEAR THIS FROM BOLT

Fact Newscorp ( Courier Mail) and the LNP dirt squad loose again  No Charges To Be Laid Against Queensland MP Billy Gordon

The invasion of Europe: some barricades go up

Notice how loose Bolt is with facts"some barricades" There are none  only  in Bolt's banner which is Bullsh@t. The content yes came from a Bolt Troll named "evil right" Truth none required. However I guess Bolt took his words from this headline. Ukraine protesters rebuild barricades in centre of Kiev - BBC ...

"forcing Europe to put up fences and reinstate borders."

1) Hungary  has only " vowed"

2) France no barricade

3) Greece no barricades

4) Britain no barricade

 

Column - The week that killed Bill Shorten

Link just a paywall to Bolt money before opinion ..the bottom line

With the LNP 47: 53 in the polls and Abbott making his usual series of gaffes in the past 2 weeks the the second budget honeymoon is well and truly over. Desperation has been clearly shown by Bolt turning from Abbott apologist which is an extremely impossible task these days to to "Get Shorten" Labour and the unions are allied. The unions are corrupt but run the country. 

Economic loss and corruption is  far greater cost to the community than anything the union movement might be accused of. The mining Industry is subsidized to the tune of 30% or $145 million for lobbying and running ads for the LNP on the Carbon Tax but it's never regarded as a donation to the party. If a salary cap were imposed as it is in the AFL the LNP would have been suspended for corrupt practices before the last election. 

$60 million per annum is lost to worker's in unpaid super by members of the Business Council of Australia. The fact that the Council sees  fit not to do nothing about the unethical practises of 9000 of it's members is  as questionable as anything found over the years in the unions. If you take into account the systemic corruption of the Financial Services  Banks, Stocks, Insurance and Financial Advice and ask how much it costs the community which political party they support, who in turn supports them and who pays for the billions lost annually to them union corruption is just chump change. However these are the things you don't hear from Bolt.

It's a matter of scale:

Column - The one-world-government conspiracy theory is real. Listen to these warmists

Link just a paywall to Bolt money before opinion... the bottom line

Bolt is just paid mercenary a grenade throwing doubter who is fast running out of doubt grenades to throw. Doubters tend to do little more than inverse the arguments put forward by those who have examined the science and  then put forward reasoned argument. The  difference being they are a profit making  media and  business model makes them the natural friend of not just deniers but the industries that global warming threatens and the associated caravan of politicians it funds. Basically Fossil Fuel and high polluters.  So when  obvious conspiracies are uncovered they need to create an inverse one  to run  against the science of Climate Change.

When denial  appeared little more than faith based and religious belief the media deniers like Bolt called  the science  a religion. When 97% of the science agreed on the facts the Bolt's found 3% to create doubt. Firstly they denied the statistic then threw in some spurious facts easily disproved. When they found these were fast becoming losing arguments they fundamentally said ok and stopped  being deniers and called themselves Skeptics and Luke warmers. They turned to the economics and cost analysis to support their paymasters. When science reduced the costs of producing renewable energy. They reverted to run the notion of a global conspiracy. As I've said theirs is little more than a media and PR battle using a mirror image of what the supporters of Climate Change have shown. They have done it for commercial gain in a war that's fast being lost.  However if you control the means to produce doubt for profit why not after all profit is your primary bottom line.  If it weren't for the fact that science doesn't waste money on these media moghuls and  political prostitutes Their arguments would be dead buried and bipartisan.

Why can’t we have the discussion on “race” that Americans can?

Sorry Bolt you simply distort the the issue out of self interest. A distortion large enough to be a lie. It's for this reason you were convicted under the RDA because you were proved wrong in fact. If Dolezal was caught  lying as she has been in this case. Since she has no genetic connection with her claim whether in the US or Australia the discussion you say can't be held certainly can. Merely how I identify is not the issue and wasn't the issue in your case and you fail to address that fact here in order to run your 'poor me' I'm the victim argument. You identify as a journalist but I can assure you you are so far removed from being one there is no issue in discussing it.

 

Shorten faces new questions over $300,000 donation. ACTU goes silent

Does anybody get the feeling that Newscorp is trying to influence a Commission.

Let's hope they are as objective as Triggs. News corp is over this like a rash. Last week Abbott's paying off people smugglers was on the Herald Sun's 6th page. You can't buy Newscorp and expect to see news. It's why they're hemorrhaging $$

UPDATE What impact for Australia?

Labor: the Left rises, just when the Right must get its way

It's all in the Banner the difference between Labour and the LNP tranparancy. Truth neither faction has the majority.

 " Fairfax Media show that neither the major Right or Left factions will have a majority of the 397 delegates to the triennial conference, which is being held next month in Melbourne." 

Yes the unions are being abandoned by their members

Public Sector Set For 'Largest Industrial Action In Generation'


 

 

Left and conservatives alike, newspapers drop Bill Shorten

Bolt's Troll did the work I doubt if Bolt even wrote the banner.

However the content is all Murdochian The Australian, Shanahan and Sheehan stating the obvious that it wasn't Shorten's best day that's politics!! Was it a good day for Abbott or is he just surviving on SCHADENFREUDE

 













Two polls show movement to Labor, but no movement in others

POLLS 

There have been four polls released this week. The Ipsos and Morgan polls both showed a substantial increase in the Labor vote share, but Newspoll and Essential have not supported this trend to Labor. Here is this week’s poll table. Note that Morgan leans to Labor by about one point, while Ipsos leans to the Coalition by a similar margin. The last Ipsos was the 50-50 tie following the budget, while the other polls are weekly or fortnightly.

This will be Newspoll’s last poll in its current form; it will be replaced with a robopoll run by Galaxy in July. Possibly owing to staff shortages, Newspoll took five days to conduct a poll that they normally do in three days.
