No apparently the PMO have been waiting for a Nutt for how long? Andrew Bolt has been saying he's coming for over 3 months. Apparently Nutt doesn't read Bolt or know the influence he has. Maybe Bolt should get touch with him and tell him how well he's handled the Goodes affair. Nutt would be impressed. However Nutt might prefer to stick with Baird and not have his reputation sullied.
Link News Corp's Australian Opinion
Murdoch cry "you owe me Abbott" Murdoch spends 3/4 of his article listing scandals in the BBC and CBC none of which readers can be bothered to verify. Newman's list is to be taken at his word or needs to be declared "unsourced". He just happens to be a personal adviser to Tony Abbott discussing impartiality. Newman takes his list of damning news and by association heaps it on the ABC.
Newman tries to point out that worldwide public broadcaster budgets have halved well given the ABC is getting the same amount of money it was getting in 1986 one could easily argue their budget has in fact more than halved. The ABC still remains the most trusted news caster in the country. Something must be said for that given this opinion in fact is coming from the least trusted media source in the country News Corp. Coming from Tony Abbott's most extreme personal adviser whose opinions on the conspiracy of Climate Science are close to declaring the science to be satanic. We know his hyperbole when it comes to wind turbines so why on earth should we even listen to him here.
One only need look at the science of human climate change where the world consensus among peer reviewed climate scientists is 97% . Science is our best source of objective information of the world about us. The 3% of sceptics demand 50% air time along with scientists which is their measure of balance. If that doesn't occur public or private broadcasters are then labelled left. All the 3% have is desperation and $$ to control the narrative and nothing else. Which is not in the interest of the country.

" That is not to say that radiation is good for you."
It took Bolt almost the whole blog to say this. I recall when he blogged to let us all know that radiation levels in Fukashima and Chernobyl were of no medical danger to humans any longer. However he had no intention of proving it himself. He sounded like a real estate salesman. One of Bolt's often quoted advocates for Monsanto's weed killer declared on US tv that Rid was safe to drink and would drink it himself. He was challenged by the interviewer who had a bottle on hand. The advocate like all liars swore got up and walked out of the interview. Needless to say he hasn't had a drink to date.
Bolt is not too hot on scientific dares himself . The study he's referring to was extremely significant and showed"that radiation significantly increases mortality rates for causes other than cancer." Bolt strangely overlooked this because like the Dude from Monsanto he's eagre to water down any anti- nuclear alarm. So Bolt limited his cut and paste to prove the opposite.
He starts
Are journalists really so crazed with anti-nuclear sentiment that they cannot spot the obvious stupidity of this scare?
and tries to conclude
"Not good, but I suspect not as apocalyptic as you might have imagined"

Is it ant wonder Andrew Bolt garners no respect from real journalists even among those at News Corp?
Is his Troll Peter really suggesting that the government say "mea culpa" to an aggrieved Bronwyn and give her her job back? Is Andrew Bolt now declaring she should never have been sacked after all his caterwauling? Is he leaving that to his standby Peter? Is she now favorite for the job of Speaker salvaged and no longer savaged by Andrew Bolt. PM's indecison calls authority into question

" It depresses me that this is dismissed as just the argument of a
Right-winger or even a racist. Aboriginal children are actually dying,
yet too many on the Left would rather not notice than change their
minds."
Children are dying and yes it's a major issue not just a racial one. The issue however has little to do with the history of "Stolen Generations" and unjust intervention which Bolt denies ever took place. Nor does it have anything to do the wholesale intrusion and intervention into "all" Aboriginal lives which Bolt applauds. Bolt simplifies a very complex issue generalizes it and then explains the behaviour of individuals from his model. His model being Aboriginal Culture endangers kids. It stereotypes and justifies wholesale intervention of everybody by someone who declares people need to be treated as individuals someone whose declaring the racial divide.
Even in the discussion Bolt presents here the word 'some' tends to go walkabout. Some kids of all colors and races find themselves in in inappropriate situations. We don't in wholesale fashion blame their culture. We once did it to the Chinese under the White Australia Policy but stopped. However we do it to Aboriginals. Bolt of course does it to others as well. Muslims and particularly Lebanese Muslims are generalized such that their faith and culture are reasons for radicalization. All this comes from the guy who denies he's a collectivist
Judge Martin " I again mention the situation that I hear about far too often, and
that is that kids in Western Australia, in some regional towns—I will
not mention one—are on the street at night because home is not a safe
place for them to be.."
Here for a moment the judge suggests differences exist but backs off and keeps generalizing.
There is an avoidance of specifics so much so that it justifies all Aboriginal people in remote communities to experience some form of intervention whether they do or don't require it just because they are Aboriginal not just because they are individuals that have a welfare problem. All people on social welfare aren't treated in the same manner why should all Aborigines?

" And here’s a critical difference between conservatives and the Left"
The conservatives put Peter Slipper in hospital. They were happy to have him jailed over $900 when they scurried like rats to pay back some of their rorting while disallowing him that same option. They devoured their own. We are comparing apples with apples here the positions of two speakers. That is the critical difference of Tony Abbott who orchestrated the jailing of Pauline Hanson as well.

What we have here is a News Corp beat up that Liberal MP's don't want to pursue. Bronwyn Bishop was Speaker of the House she hasn't resigned as an MP only her position as speaker. What is News Corp suggesting should happen? Should all MP's resign their electorates? Should Tony Abbott with the greatest list of entitlements resign from parliament? What we have is shit stirring to save Abbott's face. He supported Bishop for 18 days saying she'd done nothing wrong. Then said on the 18day she was clearly in the wrong. Did he have his eyes closed?Take
a look at the expenses claims of Tony Abbott both as Opposition Leader
and Prime Minister over the past few years. As Opposition Leader his
office cost much more than the then Prime Minister Julia Gillard.
How is it the Opposition Office under Tony Abbott cost more than Gillards?

"But here’s the problem: if you can’t settle differences through reason, only force is left"
Bolt is a weather cock isn't he? One minute Science is just another religion as far as he's concerned. He's said it so many times when wanting to disparage scientists. Religions are faith based and certainly not science based. Even we have our Fred Niles and other radical Christian zealots. We even have Cory Bernardi.
What a stupid statement the one above is but then it comes from those that support Tony Abbott who knows nothing of the ongoing history and art of Diplomacy. We are lucky Indonesia and China don't apply the same belligerent Bolt logic. Neither of them are at war. We are and Bolt wants to escalate that and bomb Iran!! Abbott’s trojan horse is terrorism The jobless rate jumped to 6.3% .

Yes the AFL is one game but like one hand every finger is different and we admire the skill and differences of those fingers that make the game like the hand work. It's called players and teams working together. Bolt was critical of the AFL then realising his error he apologised yesterday and it seems he's just retracted that two faced apology.
" Don’t patronise people like me as the children of migrants. We’re just
Australians, and don’t need the AFL to qualify that belonging."
What does Bolt mean by this? The AFL is celebrating not qualifying those differences. It's celebrating the fact that even non Australians can play and join our game.
So Bolt is the curmudgeon defending the rights of racists to be racists while discrediting the AFL and the game for celebrating the differences . He champions Tony Abbott's extra security measures searching out domestic terrorists but disparages the AFL's for searching out would be racists. He applauds UK football thugs that start fights and stampedes they make for a colorful crowd.
I repeat Yesterday he apologised to the AFL today he's back to disparaging them. A two faced bastard if ever there was one who also declared he was going to stop the screaming yesterday. However the truth be known he is what he is a divisive racist. After all he once clearly said he felt more Dutch than Australian when we all said isn't that great, he left the country. Pity he doesn't do it again
"What is this mad campaign — fanned by Labor and the unions — that’s
buckling even the will of the Government, which this week ordered nine
frigates from Adelaide’s Australian Submarine Corporation?"
Why is the opposition running the country? Throughout the history of this nation there have been oppositions never any that have run this country to the effect Bolt says this one has. Imagine just how effective it would be if in government. Things would get done.
Bolt has said it we can't bat, we can't bowl we can't field as far as manufacturing is concerned we are hopeless. All we can do is sell our assets until we run out. What is Andrew Bolt saying? We are dead ducks? Now that's being Australian.

" the … government is on track to have the worst record for passing legislation since the late 1960s."
What we have seen is a government who has done nothing other than say we can't govern because of the opposition. When Gillard was in she faced Abbott who was in permanent opposition and she negotiated her way through necessary bills. So it shows Abbott simply does not have the capacity to negotiate.
" The commonwealth has a … commitment to reduce the cost of complying …
by making new decisions to cut red tape totalling at least $1 billion
net annually."
Who wants to let the dogs out??
The governments deregulation program is a a request from Gina and other in Mining industry to grab more land. It's a request from Rupert Murdoch in Media to get the ABC. It's a request from the big banks who have been found to be rorting all of us through predatory lending. How many more ways can they rip us off? It's a request from developers to destroy the space we enjoy and our enviroment.
In the meantime we as citizens have been deprived of access to information as to what it is our government is doing and deprived of freedoms.We are being watched as never before. I'm being monitored just for writing and expressing my thoughts. Predatory Banking

This piece of wisdom offered us by Bolt seems not to use history but rather be stuck in it. It's typical of those not knowing which way to turn. To argue about the present when Abbott is either doing nothing or making a fool of himself or turn to the past and like Abbott be a leader in opposition. Bolt sounds like a disgruntled lover who really wishes for the good old Gillard days when he didn't need to talk Abbott up. As for the left or right one need only ask which party has the interests of all Australians at heart and not only 1%
