Column - Bishop must explain chopper bill or resign

 Link outsourced pay me to read

She needs to go through the same process boss hog Tony Abbott put Peter Slipper through.


 

“This is the kind of fortnight Tony Abbott likes to have”

He's been in hiding even Bolt has put this jester aside. Abbott forgot to mention his exceptional Indonesian trade experience. The 80% reduction in beef due to inclement Foreign Policies.

 

  Yes, a bloated state media organisation can be slashed. Learn from the BBC

Link The Telegraph

What we have is Bolt's failure to respect the integrity of his source and distorts the report.

"the Cameron Government is showing how to cut a bloated, Left-captured state broadcaster down to a healthy size: "Bolt 

Bolt is telling us it's happening However his source says otherwise

  BBC has accused ministers of attempting to “diminish” the Corporation “for their own narrow interests” Lord Hall Director General of the BBC

So Andrew Bolt the Cameron government is in the enviable position that Tony Abbott is not. Cameron has a majority it both houses. However even he knows it's extremely dangerous to trample on the sentiments of the electorate which fully support the BBC. Even if Abbott had a majority he to would think twice about slashing the ABC going into an election. The public will be fully reminded of Abbott's lie going into the last election that there would be "No cuts to the ABC" and reminded of his childish and petulant behavior towards it during his first term. He hasn't won any supporter for his efforts even among true blue Liberals. The ABC after all has the support of 84% of the Australian people.

"
The BBC’s website, which has been described as “imperialist” by George Osborne, the Chancellor, could also be dramatically scaled back amid fears it is destroying local and regional newspapers. "

Here is Bolt a professional writer doesn't seem to understand the meaning of the word "could" and needs to look it up in his Thesaurus. Andrew it means it's possible certainly not even probable let alone a fact. 

 Friends of the BBC will oppose the government's vicious attacks

 Government review of BBC could result in U-turn on licence fee agreement

Bolt fails to say that only a Green paper is about to be released there is nothing in the source quoted by Bolt which says it's to happen. In fact most is unlikely. Bolt is maintaining the Newscorp average of only 8% truth and the most distrusted media in Australia.


 

 

 

Bishop to repay when she should not have claimed

Link None Just Andrew Bolt unsourced

" Should there be penalties for claiming expenses you aren’t entitled to?"Bolt

Because Bishop is of little use to the LNP or the Liberals should she be treated like Peter Slipper?  Peter Slipper was found innocent but was made to suffer immensely first and destroyed. It appears Andrew Bolt doesn't care if Bronwyn drowns. If she is paying back $5000 what about these dudes at 'fund raisers'?

This must have something to do with economics of which Bolt knows nothing so it's just a cheer to  the Australian.

 

Greek could go feral if forced to repay its loans

Link Noted Forbes Right Wing  Magazine and SMH

It's amusing to see how Bolt gets his rocks off by suggesting the extreme right in Greece have benefited by the current state of play in Greece.

However Bolt fails to address the fact that there is as much confusion on the side of the bankersThe International Monetary Fund on Tuesday warned that it might pull its support for the proposed bailout plan unless other nations agree to whittle down some of Greece’s debt.

However while the IMF is asking the EZ to share the burden it is nevertheless another bailout ensuring the loan sharks don't lose. Throughout the history of what has occurred there is no mention of the degree of irresponsibility of the banking sector that took place as far back as 2001.  The poor and the working class in the United States know what it is to be Greek. as do the poor and working class here." The Greeks and the U.S. working poor endure the same deprivations because they are being assaulted by the same system—corporate capitalism." Hedges

"Instead of social justice for Greece, they achieved a new indebtedness, a deeper impoverishment that would merely replace a systemic rottenness based on the theft of tax revenue by the Greek super-wealthy – in accordance with European “neo-liberal” values – and cheap, highly profitable loans from those now seeking Greece’s scalp." Pilger

 Greece’s debt,is less than the debt of European banks whose “bailout” in 2007-8 was barely controversial and unpunished. 

In Greece 40 percent of children live in poverty, there is a 25 percent unemployment rate and the unemployment figure for those between the ages of 15 and 24 is nearly 50 percent. And now it will only get worse. The tyranny of these financial elites knows no limits. They will impose ever greater suffering and repression until we submit or revolt. Hedges

Remember when the CBA ran adds that said "yes","yes","yes"  when everybody was entitled to be enslaved in debt. Cats, dogs and 3mnth old babies were being sent credit cards. However not everybody was entitled to have a job to be on welfare if they lost one. It's happening now people are allowed to extend themselves and in doing so a housing bubble is forming on the backs of investment rather than ownership. If it bursts all hell will break loose if irresponsible lending has occurred who will the government bail out assuming the government isn't in debt?

The banks or the people? Will the government say both are to blame and write down the peoples debt to a proportion of the property market fall making the lender carry a loss? After all it takes two to tango. That is part of the morality of Islamic banking you don't see in Corporate Capitalism.

Did you know the ATO is owed $35 bill in unpaid tax not of Corporate debt but individuals and small business? We call the Greeks inefficient what are we?

 

 

Column - Shorten’s zombie tax returns

Link Andrew Bolt and paywalled another unsourced blog

" anonymous person’s decision to leak Labor’s plans for a new carbon tax to the Daily Telegraph."Bolt

Bevis Blair and Butthead Bolt tend to use a term regularly for persons writing articles like this "frightbats". This is a perfect example of Bolt being just that a frightbat. Bolt is lauding the Telegraph for  what we are meant to believe is a leak. As I said earlier Bolt takes ISIS at their word but doesn't believe a single thing an Australian might say denying this headline. Just how many headlines like this have the Newscorp mastheads printed? They are for very good reason the least trusted information source in the country according to the Essential's survey given only 8% of anything they print is true.

" The leaker’s aim was plain: to either destroy the embattled Shorten or to embarrass Labor into dropping a tax that will cost it any change of winning next year’s election."

 Logic tells there's a panic amongst the Libs as it gets closer to Paris and Abbott needs to change his policies on climate before then. If Labour do have a policy to announce at their conference Abbott would hate to be seen moving in it's direction.Why else would Bolt be blowing this trumpet calling it a catastrophic mistake?

The only zombie here is Bolt's dead and buried lie " global warming, which actually stopped nearly two decades ago anyway." NOAA put paid to that in 2015 and is truly alive. 

 

No slow down in global warming.

Column - Hanson-Young repeats the horror in the Mediterranean

Link Andrew Bolt therefore paywalled and unsourced

The day before yesterday Bolt's banner read  Sarah Hanson-Young helps ferry illegal immigrants to Europe which I thought was close to the line crossed by the SMH when their banner read the "The Treasurer was for Sale" Obviously Bolt thinks so too because he's changed his tune today. He's also added a get out clause just in case " Of course, she doesn’t see it that way." Bolt. I wonder whether or not Sarah Hanson- Young will test it.

How can Bolt even say he cares about saving lives when he cries out for the escalation of bombing in Iraq and the possibility of doing it to Iran. There have been 15,000 killed in Iraq alone and that's not the deaths of opposing fighting forces. So is there a term for somebody claiming to only be a humanist on water?

Australia is in bad need of professionals so much so it's advertising for them and can't get them. However it refuses to look at the 1000 Irani's in detention because we have declared them 'illegal' asylum seekers of which there is no such thing anywhere else in the world. We are trying to send them back to Iran the country Bolt would like to see bombed and starved. How much hypocrisy can this man shoulder? 

He calls these people 'economic refugees' a derogatory term for him yet hails the Greek economic refugees arriving here daily. Ones that in fact don't want to be here and brains we are stealing. There is something mushy about this Murdoch mans brain. 'Of course he doesn't see it that way'. Or this.

 

Labor keeps saying it’s against the carbon tax it keeps voting for

Link Murdoch's Corporate Paywall & SMH Bolt's Troll Peter BH

Is Bolt an Aussie in any sense of the word? He takes the word of ISIS as given. He believes and promotes their propaganda as the truth. Yet when the Australian Labour Party says anything it's a lie. This is a rational and reasoned  commentator speaking to his own community? In the words of an ex president of the The Australian Liberal Party "Pigs Arse".

Sorry Peter BH the essence of Democracy is a strong Opposition and a strong and independent Fourth Estate. Not just a government cheer squad. It is however good to see  your notion of a Democracy is akin to a one party state the sort implied by Tony Abbott when he says "Whose side are you on ?" Well the answer is Australia's Tony not yours. As far as the Carbon Tax is concerned I guess you should ask ISIS they seem to be the only party you and Bolt take at their word.
