Unfair fairness
The income gap has increased as has the wealth gap that 2% ought to be paying more and happy to be doing so. They should be ashamed if their hands were rammed deep in the pockets as it seems Bolt's are reluctant to come out. There should be pride in paying tax not a culture of avoidance.
correcting Hugh Riminton, the GST, the sledging stuff
When Bolt does a long blog you know he's basically not as certain of the topic as he makes out obe and he wants you to be dazzled by his statistics. Bolt even calls a report done 2 years ago by the IPCC to subtantiate his claim.
However what Bolt fails to mention is that a 2015 IPCC report was issued. It had reviewed and corrected all the stats recorded since the start of recording and came to the conclusion that significant warming had taken place and specifically the warming had continued the past 18 years. Why is it that Bolt the "expert" avoids that incovenient truth and simply continues to quote old disproved data. It's also why he makes a big show of it because he knows it's wrong. He steals a quote from Meare's who if one reads the full article does not suggest what Andrew Bolt does. Yes errors were made in the past and have been accounted for.
He had to do it for Steve who had tried to defend him the night before.
Flannery flops in China
Swings and merry-go-rounds Andrew Bolt Sings and merry-go-rounds. Securing the fact that everybody's intentions are in the right place needs to come first so a secure auditing system can be developed. Let's face it all your honourable Coal Corporations are bent. They are certainly not the exemplary global citizens you make them out to be. One only has to look at Adani's and the Koch Bros track records and the human damage and misery they have caused extracting coal.

Coal not part of India’s future

Quigley attacks Turnbull’s NBN
Turnbull was handed a job by Abbott who out of sheer pigheadedness chose not to go ahead with with Labours plan. He chose this knowing full well that his cut and paste job was going to deliver a second rate system at a price that was going to be complicated and uncertain. He put Turnbull in the hot seat for the sole purpose of keeping him quiet. Turnbull did what was necessary. All the other parties who are crying foul now are simply trying to to save their own skins. Bolt however is using it to discredit the PM. Is he doing it for Abbott or Rupert though? It certainly makes Bolt look what he is , untrustworthy and self interested.
More union transactions probed
"These kinds of allegations are getting so awfully familiar that I wonder when the ACTU will drop its “few bad apples” defence. Of course, these are just allegations, and the presumption of innocence must apply:"
How constructed is Andrew Bolt with his, "I can say anything I wish as long as I have my legal get out clause " conveniently placed at the end so as not to be noticed by anyone but the lawyers. Bolt's head media vigilante in all of this and he wouldn't have it any other way.
" Both Bolt and Hizb ut-Tahrir trade off their controversy, using the anger of their supposed ideological opponents to boost their visibility. Both have a questionable history of comments on racial discrimination. Both get more airtime then they probably deserve. They need each other."
These comments apply to Bolt's constant media ransacking of the unions as well. Seven weeks ago Bolt was doing it to support Abbott's Royal Commission to keep it in the headlines for the term of his prime ministership. However it didn't turn out as expected. However it's still here for Bolt's use to keep him at media central even though it is of less importance to the coalition now. Since Turnbull has come to power he needs to concentrate on rebuilding the trust of the electorate that Abbott managed to destroy, rather than simply bringing the ALP to it's heals by the boring old union bashing tactics of Abbott ran for 20 years.
Shorten dances up a storm
Andrew Bolt conveniently ignores the fact that The Muslims from Iraq have successfully established themselves in Australia. Why does Andrew Bolt suggest that won't continue to happen?
" So far, so good. But while the Abbott Government privately assured us almost all the refugees would be Christians, thus more likely to integrate, the Turnbull Government seems to have a different aim:"
What is he even talking about when he says we were "privately assured"? The refugees to be taken were "according to need" and to be chosen by the UN and not according to Bolt's choice or by Australian selection alone. How much of a sook does Bolt sound here? Multicultural Shepparton Leads The Way
Shepparton Muslim community overwhelmed by support ...
Bolt put's in an enormous effort to find situations or simple human acts of misunderstanding in order to bellow failure of our immigration policies. He alienates Australian born Muslims primarily because while they see themselves as Australians first he ensures that the message is that they don't belong and continually tars them with negative stereotype descriptions. The younger these Australians are the more offended they are because this country is as much theirs as his. They simply play into his hands. Andrew Bolt is the very reason vilification laws are necessary but should also be enforced.
" It was the Australian-born group of respondents who were most angered by racist remarks and incidents because they saw this as a challenge to their dual identity. They objected to the way local politicians and opinion-makers used terrorist events to construct all Arabs and Muslims in Australia as criminals and a threat to others. Since they were born in Australia, they had been proud to think of themselves as Australians of Arabic background, but now they found their Australian identity being questioned. They had been forced to think twice about being Australian because people generally perceived them as disloyal and having improper ties to a foreign culture. Still, they demonstrated a sense of having a connection with both communities but in the context of 9/11, they had experienced a sense of being 'caught' between two cultures. They themselves related positively to being both Arab and Australian, and regarded the culturally diverse nature of their lives as a positive thing because it gave them a sense of belonging and security."Social Acceptance as a Key to Successful Integration ...
WATCH: Steve Price Loses The Plot After Guest Compares Andrew Bolt To Hizb ut-Tahrir – New Matilda
I've always said Bolt was the most successful radicalizer in Australia ISIS's best asset here. I'm not the only one to state the obvious. Maybe he's lost a little of his protection since Abbott has gone.
Shorten dances up a storm
Bolt has the appeal of a social media whore. Desperate for attention a parasite riding on the back of Bill Shorten trying to curry favor and ingratiate himself with the twitterati and the extreme right fringe that all shock jocks pander to. However unlike Bolt Shorten isn't standing in the corner of a room avoiding ordinary conversation he's actually socializing, partying, and being gregarious yes with the locals.What would Bolt be doing in this situation?
None of us need accept more taxes. We’re not mushrooms, are we?
One thing is for sure Andrew Bolt Conservative Libertarian hates to put his hand in his pocket to help those less fortunate than himself. As far as he's concerned they are all bludgers. His notion of an NDA of a National Disability Allowance is a privatized system where begging from family is allowed and from others optional. Those suckers who feel they want to be charitable and give money can but those like Andrew Bolt shouldn't be compelled. We could learn a lot fro India's system. He doesn't feel the slightest responsibility to do so and feels a happy little Aussie. He doesn't want to know about hardship it's not his problem. Yes he wants to be a mushroom but is merely a poisonous fungus a parasite on the backs of the poor.
Don’t tell the truth: media fails Bill Shorten’s warming test
Bolt must be running out of puff if he's simply repeating old blogs.
" This is scandalous. Sorry to tell you this, but you cannot trust the media to tell you the truth about global warming."
Strange isn't it Bolt works for News Corp the largest print media organization in the country. It's also the largest denier of global warming in the country. It's print section is running at a loss. Because it's business model relies on the attracting revenue and the support of the biggest corporations to exist it needs to promote their interests. Corporations whose current bottom line depends on a negative stance to renewable energy simply to save costs and therefore takes a negative position on climate change. So Andrew Bolt is right News Corp can't be trusted to be a good citizen. Bolt has and will continue to promote 'Coal is good for humanity" along with Turnbull's message India has to buy it from somewhere so why not us. However both deny the:

The fall of the “social justice” warrior
Bolt is all blowhard talker out of touch with reality. His banner declares the "fall" of the social justice warrior yet his link or reference merely "predicts" the fall. His link has no basis in reality. Take 2 examples Snowden and Assange In order to ensure their "fall" arrest warrants were needed and laws put in place by conservative governments to restrict free speech in the free world. Whistleblower laws were needed and have been put in place. So what Andrew Bolt and his link refer to as a fall in fact has been the the "rise" in the restriction of freedom around the world. The social justice warrior hasn't fallen at all what has fallen is our freedoms. Turkey is a perfect example where even News Corp has restrictions imposed on it. Journalists around the world along with citizens are being jailed even worse killed for speaking out. That is a truth quite different from what Bolt is suggesting. That is the rise of fascism not a fall in those crying out. Snowden’s Charges To Be Dropped? European Parliament Votes In Favor of ‘dropping charges’
