Bolt was convicted of racial vilification and accused with being loose with facts and publishing false hoods. However there are no laws preventing him from doing the same to science or scientists. There is a 97% consensus that Bolt's claim of a hiatus of warming for the past 18 years is false. Bolt has merely taken the exceptional year of 1998 as his starting point which has no statistical significance. Bolt simply flip flops all over the place trying to show that as far as science is concerned it's irrelevant and has no reason as a methodology to be considered any better than a religion. For Bolt the most exact science is really Economics which after all has produced the worlds best and most significant Treasurer Joe Hockey and the greatest academic in the world today whose not an economist Dr Lomborg. IQ Bolt IQ???? Opinion presented on News Corps platform remains nothing more than opinion with no epistemological foundation.
Link Quadrant and Peter BH
Obviously Peter BH isn't a Catholic. He has no clue what it was like to be brought up in the 50s and 60s and be regarded as a second class citizen when brought face to face with those who regarded themselves as born to rule. There was a barrier to be broken and Abbott wasn't alone in facing it. The public service and police were Catholic domains not government. Why is it that today we are now reminded of how many Catholics are in the cabinet? Is it unusual Peter BH seems to think it's always been like that. Has he done a count of the Catholics in the Liberal Party the generation before Abbott? I doubt it. Abbott The Monarchist, Dual Citizen, Catholic was socialised by the Church to be a fighter the best of the best and don't let anybody tell you otherwise. It's why his public persona seems to work against him. I might add he is not typical that's for sure but always front and center ready for a fight.
Link Andrew Bolt
" Is it a rule that the Left runs legal societies? And that conservatives aren’t worth defending?"
How is it that Bolt isn't castigating the Liberal lawyers in these organizations who aren't offering or rushing to defend Heydon? Maybe they all concede that Dyson Heydon crossed a line. Where are his chorus of legal defenders? If the legal profession has been kidnapped by the left is Bolt suggesting Abbott should do away with the separation of government and the judicial system in order to "fairness and balance"? Dyson Heydon ‘overlooked’ Liberal link, but gave commission witnesses less leeway
Bolt offers no context for this tweet. He and Bevis Blair are just misogynists and it is after all the News Corp Culture world wide.
"These are the standards The Age and Sydney Morning Herald now accept?"
Bolt represents the moral high ground of this organization.. pigs arse
Yet another word from the LNP's sponsor Newscorp. Direct from the Herald Sun Vigilante and kangaroo court Spokesperson of no qualification "I'm not sliming anyone" Andrew Bolt. Read it and weep it's not even amusing.
"Labor wants Heydon terminated not only because his commission has heard
damaging evidence of Labor leader Bill Shorten’s shady deals as head of
the Australian Workers Union — especially the undeclared and disguised
personal donation of $40,000 he accepted from an employer." Slimer Bolt
Have charges been laid Mr Bolt on your say so?
Link Breitbart Top Conservative US ezine Link ABC News,
Andrew Bolt maintains his arbitrary insistence that history and race doesn't matter and distinct from ought not matter. It's Bolt akin to parents saying to their kids the way we brought you up doesn't matter we aren't responsible for anything. It's the ostrich with it's head in the sand. If Bolt's kids praised or blamed him for the way they were raised he'd claim he was being victimised because history is irrelevant.
So having denied history Bolt selectively looks for cases that proffer arguments that state support his moronic claim 95% of Aborigines are white. IQ Mr Bolt IQ however Bolt the brave is no Derryn Hinch that's for sure. He only claims to be a brave battler.
"It’s a pity the PM chose to stick with his Andrew Bolt-style rhetoric
on Australia being one blank mass of people, talking about his
preference for a “we the people” approach rather than a “them and us”
process, as though Indigenous people lived broadly similar lives to
non-Indigenous people. Some do, of course. But if you are born
Aboriginal in this country you are far more likely
to be gaoled, die in gaol, commit suicide, or die young in some other
preventable manner. Getting recognition right means recognising those
facts.
"But when it comes to “citizenship”, and groups Ruddock today
described as “newer Australians”, and particularly Islamic communities
(don’t forget Abbott earlier this year told Islamic leaders they needed
to do more to discourage extremism), the PM wants to emphasise those
differences." The Monthly
" so far isn’t coming from defenders of traditional marriage."
"No, it’s her own same-sex lobby that’s pushing its case with abuse,
sneers and intimidation — a hatred that risks provoking an equally ugly
reaction."
Isn't it great to suffer historical amnesia. Bolt from Adelaide has forgotten when gays were bashed and killed in Adelaide when as a minority they were hunted and bashed . Lost their jobs family and friends when outed. They were victims in the true sense of the word. Have things changed that much 16 transgender murders have been committed in the US recently for no arrests. It's like the good old days in Adelaide isn't it Andrew Bolt.
What's changed? Gays are still a minority. However an minority that have found a voice and support from an increasing number heterosexuals in a society whose attitudes are changing. Bolt attempts to flip the coin of victim-hood and declare traditionalists are in fear. In fear of what Andrew Bolt years of bashing and death? Years of secrecy from arrest and family destruction. Are you serious and in fear that gays will move next door and intimidate you? Do you really feel like Tony Abbott?
Maybe they could call on Dyson Heydon to do an unbiased investigation that there's no mismanagement in the Liberal Party. Can they somehow put the blame on Kathy Jackson, Craig Thomson or even Peter Slipper? They are after all good at that. Here's the question will they forgo the truth and bury it to stave off political embarrassment? After all it is the Liberal Party.
When you think Bolt's ego couldn't grow larger it just keeps growing. If it rains tomorrow it will be because Bolt told it to.
" After I called her out yesterday, Jane
Needham, the Left-leaning president of the NSW Bar Association, has
done the grudging minimum in defence of conservative Dyson Heydon, and days too late:"
" I really do wonder at the tribalism of the Left, where the side sometimes seems to count for more than the principle."
Has Bolt noticed how his party of individuals have been told to tow the line or else and that the core tenet of the Liberal Party has been thrown aside for the must be followed at all costs team? I think there's a mountain of hypocrisy showing here.
What Bolt doesn't seem to understand is The Greens have gained support in this country. With 9% of the vote they near the the number the LNP (Qld) without which there'd be no Abbott government. With the polls indicating a 7.5% swing against Abbott it would appear the advantage might even be bigger. So the little Party Bolt refers to and pays no respect may just bite Abbott on the arse. The law is there for a purpose which Bolt & and Abbott seem to think is a hindrance and nuisance.
Adani Mine is not going to go ahead because of the Greens which Bolt avoids to mention but because it's two biggest financiers have pulled out. They haven't pulled out because of skinks and snakes but pulled out because they can't see a profit is to be made and can see an enormous amount of reputational damage done by pursuing the project. The government is backing a loser in coal
"Matters were prickly from the start. Then, tense talk between came to a head in TV interview." Steve Price actually said $40bill was a good investment if it created 10, or a 100 jobs. IQ Steve IQ???

Jobs growth for the Chinese is fact not racist it specifies exactly what CHAFTA means. The Chinese can tender for major construction projects and are entitled to import non Australian labor to do the job.
Bolt's hysterical exercise to hide the reality of the kangaroo court that has been set up by Abbott. Who appointed a maverick ex high court judge to do his bidding and weaken the Trade Union movement in this country. Hearsay now no matter what happens will have been turned into fact in the eyes of ordinary and fair minded Australians through to the election
UPDATE
Peter BH merely repeats what has been the historical norm in Australian politics since Federation what's been part and parcel of our Democracy and politics and presents it as aberrant corrupt and a stench on the way we live without really suggesting what ought to be different other than outlawing trade unions or any form of working class or middle class workers associations. Basically it boils down to doing away with our democracy. In order to do that these groups need to be regulated by the strongest means possible while deregulation of business is to take place. Is there any wonder Australians need to be taught to forgo the dreams of home ownership, single breadwinner families, permanent work with benefits, savings etc etc. The LNP are ensuring the shrinking of the middle class and a totally dependent work force. The dream not of Australians but that of corporate Australia.

Another case of good government by Tony Abbott
5 SUSPECTED young men stopped leaving Australia that makes it a total of 30 out of 24 million people. Suspects only were told to go home. A cost to this country of some 200 million dollars in extra security and how much in travelers and tourist delays to showcase the new Abbott government's action plan to keep them safe in the Middle East on even to keep us 'safe'. Idiocy of Pythonesque proportion abounds in this country since Abbott took the helm.
