Column - Bishop quit. Why not Burke?

Link Andrew Bolt behind a News Corp paywall.

Bolt is crying "Hypocrisy Alert" I believe it really ought to be an "Idiocy Alert"

Tony Abbott, Christopher Pyne don't expect Tony Burke to quit. Burke is not the Speaker of the House. Has Bronwyn Bishop quit Parliament of course not? No so why should Burke quit because Andrew Bolt says so? Any wonder his colleagues are ready to cross the street when they see him coming. I definitely would.

Drop the racial adjective

The degree of reverse victimization expressed here is akin to the psychotic delusions expressed by extremely ill mental patients found in Extreme Care Units of state hospitals. If Bolt's behaviors  actually matched his words and he's as florid as he seems to be when defending himself on this issue there'd be need for Triage to intervene. Bolt's is an enthusiast of intervention so I can only assume he'd welcome the encounter. Also the next with a psychiatrist trying to come to grips with the underlying cause for the deluded presentation.  Bolt's default social psychological situation is predominantly white yet he believes he's he's been victimised by a minority in a white world.  Are we really to believe Bolt is sane? Are we to believe anything he says  particularly when he's still carrying on like the pork chop  " On 2GB tonight - in the mood for some peace after all that screaming?" 

Any wonder his News Corp colleagues pay him no heed.

	Here’s a 2-Minute Video Explaining Obama’s New Plan to Fight Global Warming

 

Labor must explain: is it accepting protection money?

Link SMH Paul Sheehan

" investigate how back-door bribes have been paid by big construction companies to CFMEU operatives, and how funds were set up to pilfer money from construction projects."

It seems to me that it takes two to tango. In days gone by those companies that offered unions bribes found themselves prosecuted and their owners jailed. Now the talk is purely one directional an attack on unions as opposed to the industries of which they are only a part.  Disgraced tycoon George Herscu dies at 85 | The Australian

 

 

 

Warmist media gives Obama five times more credit than he deserves

"In fact, Obama's Clean Power Plan is not a 32 per cent cut to all carbon dioxide emissions, but to only  to emissions from power stations." The Clean Power Plan didn't suggest anything other than a 32% to Power Plants. However the Plan is only a part of Obama's change Bolt is just doing a a cut and paste job to suggest otherwise. The same sort of cut and paste he was screaming foul about and claims was done on him.

Here is a quote from the same link that Bolt has taken in his poor attempt to discredit Obama. Rather than supporting Bolt the Vox article argues against him.

" On the opposite side, Michael Grunwald argues that the Clean Power Plan isn't a big deal at all. After all, he says, emissions already fell 15 percent between 2005 and 2013, and this plan just continues that pace. But that argument seems equally overstated. As various studies have found, US power-plant emissions aren't destined to keep plunging without further policy. One big reason for last decade's drop was the massive recession, which hopefully won't repeat itself anytime soon. What's more, thanks to the shale gas boom, most of the "easy" cuts have already been made — as utilities switched from coal to cheaper gas. The harder cuts are yet to come, including making greater use of renewable power. That's what this plan aims to do — and in that sense, it's a departure from business as usual."

 In fact the cuts will be the biggest  in US history. Bolt's favorite Republican candidate for President is Ted  Cruz  whose not even  a skeptic but an outright denier of man made climate change and the science that accompanies it. Bolt  flip flops on the issue. He claims to be  a skeptic not a denier and supporter of Dr Lomborg. It's a pity he 's avoided saying  anything about the ABC's Q&A last Monday. A show that rationally explained how there is a consensus among scientists and how science methodology should but doesn't inform  our political judgements but vested interests  do and not in the best possible way. That only $$ do. 

Read this link and see what it really says: Bolt uses it to in the same cut and paste way he complains all other media opponents use to discredit him. He is so unbelievable. has been estimated at just 6 per cent.

Is this the worst paper ever?

Link Paul Murray 

No the least trusted papers in Australia are all News Corp mastheads

"By what possible standard could the Abbott Government be worse than the Gillard Government? Than the Rudd Government?"

A government that for years decried and lied about an economy that was regarded as the best in the world that now when it's failing is telling us everything is ok and a AAA + rating is of little consequence. A government  bent on changing every cultural aspect of this country to serve the short term economic, political and cultural goals of a few rather than all of us . One bent on destroying the ABC the main source of independent news and information in this country for over 100 years . A government that has only one song" we saved people from drowning" but denied the previous government any chance of making an arrangement with Malaysia in order to prevent those drownings. That now we have a government that drives asylum seekers along with their children  insane kills them slowly by 1000 cuts and keeps it  secret like the Soviet did their Gulags.  It is a government that has broken every international human rights code  Australia  has ever signed, making us an international pariahs. We are now happy to deal with countries like Iran that has executed 900 people this year as a place to return 1000 asylum seekers. This is a government that's remained in opposition with it's people since it came to power that's involved itself purely in power for power's sake and not for the long term benefit of the nation. It's a government that's unable to negotiate on anything or operate in the democratic process. It's a government that more than any has removed the rights and freedoms of it's citizens rather than guaranteeing them.

 

Why are we paying Tony Burke to fly his children in business class?

The Question asked of Bronwyn Bishop was the question asked of the Speaker of the House not of her as an MP. When will Bolt ever compare apples with apples? Will this ex-Speaker be charged with fraud as was the previous one over the use of  his cabcharge? Will the LNP bay for blood as they did with Peter Slipper? It appears not.  Will Bolt continue to distort and deflect the facts in order to draw the attention away from Tony Abbott's miguided and cold blooded loyalties. He went to Peter Slippers wedding not as a formality but as a friend. He killed him as a friend when the formality was wrong. Who needs enemies when you have Abbott as a friend. 

 

 

 

 

This must stop

Link Andrew Bolt the Victim

Stop disagreeing with me it hurts seems to be Andrew Bolt's cry of pain. It did hurt Adam Goodes   but in Bolt's case I doubt it. He talks of "cut and paste quote doctoring " which is really strange because that's exactly what he did when denigrating and disparaging Adam Goodes. He took no notice of what was really said.

 I'm not doing any cut and paste here Andrew Bolt it's what you did.  You've been throwing stones from your glass house and  got it so wrong. Countless numbers have agreed that your white mans verbal lancing of Goodes has been vilification when  what Goodes did wasn't.Politics of racism flourishing in Australia

"I understand the Australian will now cease this stupid war on a colleague.  Good. It is better than this."

The Australian isn't ceasing because you've won anything Andrew Bolt it like most other people who disagree with what you have to say say it and move on.  They don't get caught in a never ending rut. You are not a journalist and as much as you hate real journalists because they in turn have no respect for you. However unlike you they move on as professionals do. They disregard you.

 There are some of us however who believe you are more dangerous and that News Corp , Corporate Interests and some mega rich  are progressively destroying our democracy by making politicians they favour reliant. There are lessons to be learned from the USA simply because this government along with News Corp seems to be trying to import the loss of democracy..

Dallas Scott on the “stolen generations”

Link Dallas Scott

As in science an individual story or piece of data does not prove or disprove a generalization or model. Models are tools that help us explain emergent patterns that help best explain large numbers of events.

Bolt presents Dallas Scott's personal and "nuanced" writing as the singular reason to deny the 'stolen generation' model that tries to explain the lives of more than one person. The model that doesn't have room for foster parents and midnight phone calls. Models that do explain cars arriving along with police to drag kids off with little or no explanation. Having done so with nothing left but the sound of silence forever or years.

Bolt seems a white man telling blacks how to interpret their internalized histories. It's not about Bolt or Scott interpreting their own past. If it were that easy then we'd have thrown Freud and Einstein Marx and Newton  out the window years ago. Big game hunters are easy targets for our anger. It’s harder to recognize the evil we’re all complicit in every day
