Andrew Bolt's Blog, 29/7/15;Bolt asks Goodes to apologise not so Tony Abbott; Where is Abbott our fearless leader?; Bolt has found a Kathy Jackson in Victoria; Bolt likens science to religion and shows his intelligence; Shorten is right; Bolt shows us why he's wrong on coal;
Link The Drum But where is Tony Abbott?
5 out of 5 panellists are not all leftists they are guests of various persuasions so that's Bolt's first distortion. Bolt was on the Insiders for some 10 years according to his perceptions held he must have been a leftie. Nobody is saying "all" Australians are racist but there certainly are a lot if you take silence as an indication.
Bolt certainly promotes this evil suggesting Adam Goodes has brought all
this on himself. How much media input has he been involved in How much
energy has Bolt put into trying to prove the booing crowd is the victim? Which newspapers most influence public opinion?
Link Grant Thomas. But where is Tony Abbott?
What Goodes hasn't done what he shouldn't do and what the Swans and their opponents should.
1 " This should not be about accusing every fan who boo’s Adam as a racist" Grant Thomas
2 Have words put in his mouth by anybody even a well intentioned Grant Thomas
3 " I said yesterday that Adam Goodes could end the booing and actually
emerge a hero by apologising for how he reacted to that 13-year-old girl
who yelled “ape”. It would be brave and hard, but very effective.
Making clear he loved this country he’s so damned would also help."
4 The reason Bolt and Grant have turned the victim into the offender
5 The Nazis called Jesse Owens an ape he wasn't expected to apologize. If the children of racists are allowed to continue in their fathers footsteps how do they learn.
6 The solution the whole of the Swans as a team should support Adam and do the dance with their next goal
Why Bolt is a hypocrite when Abbott is booed in the stadium of politics everybody becomes labelled a bigoted Abbott-hater. When has Bolt ever told Abbott to apologize to the same degree he has Adam Goodes? Never and today he continues to complain about the unfairness of it all. Bolt tells us Abbott's working for all of us. However that isn't said of the Australian of the year Goodes isn't he's a racist that's bullshit that's a pathetic attempt at blaming the victim that's racism. AFL taunts at Adam Goodes reignite racism row – BBC News.

"Mind you, it’s easier for Julie Bishop than for Tony Abbott to cut loose an Abbott ally."
Here we go Bolt suggesting Julie Bishop is destablising influence in the Cabinet. Bolt is a weather cock a few days back he was calling it's time for Bronny to go. Now he's slipped into a position behind Abbott's rear end, nice and cosy!!! Up close and personal. Where is Tony Abbott?

I would have thought that not drawing Mohammed in the context of the society in which you live is also a choice. As is not showing pornography to children. There's a lot of things we don't do to avoid offending others. It doesnt require an extreme reaction or any reaction in fact to do a lot of things that offend. But then Bolt really wouldn't know about that as he sets out to offend most people in our pluralist society. Freedom of offense is what bogans crave.
Link ABC But where is Tony Abbott?
Apparently learning about the news should be done in some sterile vacuum or the Bolt Report franchised to every University as a department on it's own. Thank god for an independent public broadcaster that doesn't present the Bolt Report as news.
One wondered how long it would take for Bolt to start defending Bronwyn Bishop. However Bolt's going down dangerous territory digging up the past on entitlements because at the moment the light is off Tony Abbott and his rapid rush to repay those he was guilty of trying to let go to the wicket keeper. Hockey has 13 trips to his Cairns office to explain. Did he claim $271 a night for being there given it was trips for work?

How old are these pearls of wisdom
coming from the economic sage McCrann. He's been reading Fairfax for his
information. China itself reported it was freeing up the rules for
Chinese to invest overseas. Why is Mc Crann getting paid? However the real reason that China is the focus is to take the heat and blame for our woes off the government. Where Is Abbott?
From yesterday
Well with interest rates are so low here any thought of luring Chinese investment
here is slim other than the property market. With our dollar taking a nose dive Australian
assets will seem far more attractive. That property bubble it seems will
continue to grow. However given only 40% of Australians are home
owners and going down that market seems even more speculative and hotter than ever with a greater potential to crash. In the
meantime the rich are getting richer, rents are rising ensuring the
poor are getting poorer. Some how Bolt thinks that's good.
"there’s no money in our kitty to stimulate the economy or save us from savage spending cuts:" Bolt
With Hockey telling business to spend
spend spend this government is certainly not leading the way. It's not
borrowing to invest invest invest in infrastructure so badly needed when
interest
rates are at a record low. and unemployment on the way up. While money
might be
cheap job stimulation is not on the LNP agenda. It's as if they
want to leave the farm as is running at a loss and not do any capital
improvements. This Government prefers to sell privatization of
everything is their main agenda. However selling the
national interest is not working. What these LNP money managers are
creating is a further rise in unemployment. By privatizing new infra
structure projects they welcome mega Chinese Corporations to tender and
then allow them to ship in their own labour. That's not job stimulation.
FactCheck: could foreign workers be paid less under the China-Australia FTA?

As I said yesterday and Bolt is just repeating himself today on this topic.
"Bolt takes the word of ISIS as
gospel yet calls all Australian Labour people as liars. However now
that Somyurek has been now found guilty and as such has been saved in
Bolt's eyes. A
modern miracle has occurred. Somyurek has been gifted with truth and
the status Tony Abbott once gave Kathy Jackson. In Bolt's eyes he can
no longer be refuted as long as all his comments
are directed at the Andrew's government.
Bolt is a true wacko
extremist, a total blind LNP advocate who should not be in any form of media calling
itself a newspaper. But then again News Corps papers aren't regarded
as providing news. With only 8% truth to be found they are now the most mistrusted media in
the country."

Well said Andrew Bolt if it were the
case but it's not. When the said intellectual in an internationally
recognized " discredited pundit" little better than the organ grinders
monkey nothing is being stifled. Yes academics do treasure "free
inquiry" it's one of the reasons you don't find the Bolt Report as an
academic department on any University campus or even part of any
department on campus.
" For that it’s prepared to turn Flinders University into a green church, with heretics driven out." Here
is the reason why because self-proclaimed intellectuals like Bolt liken
science to religion which is the polar opposite of reasoned thought.
The very reason the major churches don't have University Departments or
people like Bolt running any.
As for an inquiry into the current
scientific status of nuclear power the Premier is not creating a
University Department. It's neither for or against nuclear power it's
asking about it's current status via an independent not advocated
inquiry.
Link The Herald Sun Bolt Report. But where's Tony Abbott?
Bolt's point is nonsense. What Shorten said was " The rest of the world is moving in that direction, we just need Mr
Abbott to stop being stuck in the past and become part of the vision for
the future."As the advances in technology have been so rapid
and the advances in energy storage so great the most appropriate answer
is "no one knows" however due to these advances it's sure to be less and
not more.
Just in case Mr Bolt you don't
understand I'll take a quote from a source you seem to appreciate that
acknowledges 40% of current power is generated through coal.
From the International Energy Agency website’s coal page:
" the development of affordable, inexhaustible and clean solar energy
technologies will have huge longer-term benefits. It will increase
countries’ energy security through reliance on an indigenous,
inexhaustible and mostly import-independent resource, enhance sustainability, reduce pollution, lower the costs of mitigating climate change, and keep fossil fuel
prices lower than otherwise. These advantages are global. Hence the
additional costs of the incentives for early deployment should be
considered learning investments; "

"Another example of that intellectual disconnect, so common on the Left, between our wealth and the sources of it:" Bolt
The intellectual disconnect that Bolt
speaks of is that while 40% of electricity" is now " produced from coal
the world moves on and is changing. The disconnect "is " between those
that remain static and only see the need to fill their pockets and
those that see the essential need to to improve the negative conditions
being created. The conditions the conservatives refuse to address for
the sake of their own vested interest.
The IEA's Web page Mr Bolt also says
" the development of affordable, inexhaustible and clean solar energy
technologies will have huge longer-term benefits. It will increase
countries’ energy security through reliance on an indigenous,
inexhaustible and mostly import-independent resource, enhance sustainability, reduce pollution, lower the costs of mitigating climate change, and keep fossil fuel
prices lower than otherwise. These advantages are global. Hence the
additional costs of the incentives for early deployment should be
considered learning investments; "
This Mr Bolt is neither left or right but intelligent
