Good bloke

Karl Stefanovic puff piece by Miranda Devine. Has she ever bothered to do a puff piece on Andrew Bolt? He's such a puff.

 

 

 

 

The Liberals should not doom Albanese

When Bolt is seen advising the Liberals from the bleachers. Advising a party he no longer respects , experience should tell them if they take his advice they will get it all wrong. After all his advice was to keep Abbott as leader and they did good.

 

 

 

 

 

And these children want power

1 Nothing has changed since the days of Tony Abbott whose ratbag actions have gone down in history. Andrew Bolt is right he was a child who wanted power. He threatened women was even charged with sexual molestation for doing so.

2 Tony Abbott brought his bullying tactics to the Australian parliament in the Howard era.

Those children of yesteryear were no better exemplified than by Tony Abbott who turned our politics for the worse and we got rid of him. Now Andrew Bolt is complaining that politics has become too nice and the current leader Malcolm Turnbull isn't enough of a bastard. Bolt prefers Abbott style politics which is adversarial and very much Sydney Uni today.

Bolt loves to have it both ways.

 

 

 

 

 

Damn. Warming might not destroy the world, after all. Bugger

 The most common misconception regarding Antarctic sea ice is that sea ice is increasing because it's cooling around Antarctica. The reality is the Southern Ocean surrounding Antarctica has shown strong warming over the same period that sea ice has been increasing.

" Right or wrong, Zwelly’s study says little about climate change as a whole. In fact, equating Antarctic ice gain to the death of global warming is about as accurate as saying that racism in America ended the day Barack Obama took office."

" Well…yes. But no. Climate change is depressingly robust. The new study—published October 30 in the Journal of Glaciology—offers no evidence that the planet’s temperature has returned to pre-1860s levels. Atmospheric carbon dioxide has not dropped below 250 parts per million. Sea levels have not receded. What has happened is that some parts of Antarctica are (maybe) freezing faster than other parts are melting."Antarctica Might Be Gaining Ice, But Global Warming Ain't .

 

 

 

 

 

The intellectuals’ feral hatred of Thatcher

Link Standpoint(magazine)  Largely  center right 

Given Intellectuals in the UK have always been differentiated by their political leanings the link Bolt refers to here says nothing. All intellectuals in the UK weren't left leaning so even the title of the book is deceptive. It's the same stance Bolt suggests exists in Australia toward Tony Abbott. He says  our universities are little more than leftist hives as are all our cultural institutions. It doesn't however explain why so many people with degrees are in fact supporters of the Liberal Party? One simply has to look at the educational status in Liberal seats to prove  Bolt wrong.

However he's right in one respect intellectuals are rarely found in organizations like News Corp.

Andrew Bolt believes symbols are far more important and dangerous than the actual numbers of deaths. Some 2,191 Palestinians aren't added to this 2015 figure. What is significant however is that if your Palestinian at the moment you have 23 times more chance of being killed than if Israeli. WHAT BOLT DOESN'T SAY BUT NUMBERS DO.At least 1,198 Israelis and 9,151 Palestinianshave been killed since September 29, 2000.

American news reports repeatedly describe Israeli military attacks against the Palestinian population as “retaliation.” However, when one looks into the chronology of death in this conflict, the reality turns out to be quite different.

See also the Palestinian Center for Human Rights' table that records the 2,191 victims (76% of them civilians) of Israel's recent massacre in Gaza that began on July 8th that are not yet included in B'Tselem's charts. 71 Israelis were killed during the same period (9% of them civilians).

75 Palestinians Killed by Israeli Forces since October 1st

The shooting of a Palestinian youth in Hebron Wednesday by Israeli soldiers brought the number of Palestinians slain since October 1st to 75.

57 have been killed in the West Bank, 17 in the Gaza Strip, and one in the Negev. More than 20% of those killed have been children.

The Ministry of Health said earlier this week that 2355 Palestinians were shot with live rounds and rubber-coated steel bullets, including many who suffered fractures and bruises after being repeatedly beaten by soldiers and paramilitary settlers in the West Bank, including occupied Jerusalem.

The Ministry added that 1125 of the wounded Palestinians were shot with live rounds (732 of them in the West Bank), and 975 were shot with rubber-coated steel bullets (865 in the West Bank), and more than 5000 Palestinians suffered the effects of tear gas inhalation.

235 Palestinians were injured after being assaulted and beaten by soldiers and paramilitary settlers, and 20 suffered burns due to Israeli gas bombs and concussion grenades.

In the Gaza Strip, 393 Palestinians have been shot with live army fire, 110 with rubber-coated steel bullets, and dozens suffered the effects of tear gas inhalation.

The number of wounded children in the West Bank is 325; 165 were shot with live army fire, 108 with rubber-coated steel bullets, 19 were directly shot with gas bombs, 33 were beaten by the soldiers. In Gaza, 170 children were shot, most of them with live rounds.

On Friday, October 30, a Palestinian baby suffocated to death from Israeli tear gas in Bethlehem a day after Israeli forces tore through a Bethlehem neighborhood shouting "we will gas you all to death".

Safety-first no-chase policy kills

Link Herald Sun Paywall

Bolt has turned into an attack dog for every occassion. The safety- first no -chase rule was brought in because of the number of deaths that were occurring. Bolt however has never had a head for statistics  numbers or how and when  to apply them. In his mind even the Liberal Party is still a conservative party stolen in a heist.

 

 

 

 

 

 

This GST plan just looks like a tax grab

The Australian Paywall

Bolt believes leaders can't garner respect. If they do then they are not leaders. Putin is the worlds most powerful leader at the moment. His domestic popularity is 95%. Does Bolt think he'd have this GST problem? Abbott was regarded as one of the the world's worst leaders with domestic popularity at 19%. Does Bolt believe he could get anything through the senate let alone a budget? Any way you look at it Andrew Bolt hasn't a clue what he's talking about.

Apart from this it appears Bolt hasn't been listening to either Turnbull or Morrison neither have said a GST increase was inevitable. 

 

 

 

 

 

Mates rates in NUW scandal

Link The Australian Paywall

Bolt is playing Dyson Heydon dress ups again. Obviously little else to do with his Halloween costume. On the day of the dead it's custom to dress saints as skeletons to remind us of our mortality. However Bolt seems to concentrate on only one side of the coin and never the whole story. How is it so many Liberal Party members and donors were seen to have made fortunes out of the Fishermans Bend rezoning honey pot? They did little or nothing for that privilege. 100s of millions were made.
