Andrew Bolt's blog, 14/1/16; The great Con; Kevin Andrews Ultra Conservative; Peter Dutton Ultra Consevative; Henin media and first hand experience; Systemic Corporate Crime ignored; Jobs; Australia Day

 

Wake up Australia, you are being conned 

 Conservative governments and media would have us judge every group in society by its worst members unless, of course, you belong to the political class or their corporate partners. It's what Bolt does!!

 

 

 

The real problem is not the lamb ad but the militarisation of Australian nationalism

Andrews' different stance on defence 

Kevin Andrews Abbott's man in the trenches would have acted differently. He'd have sent more young men  to defend us half a world away.Kevin Andrews criticises Marise Payne for denying US request for more troops

 

Kevin Andrews suggests he may have acted differently if still in the position to decide whether Australia should expand its military contribution in the Middle East.

 French journalist Nicolas Henin, who was kidnapped by Islamic State, says while the militants tried to "portray themselves in a very terrifying manner", he did not buy their threats after spending time with them.

 

 

Less than you bargained for 

The LNP claim the unions are systemic crooks and spend $50 mill  try to convince us. 

Ever suspected you were getting less than what you paid for at the major supermarkets? You may have been right, authority finds.

Woolworths prices are about the same as Coles, according to Choice.
Jobs market the best in three years Peter Martin 6:54 PM   It's easier to find a job than it has been in years.
With per-capita wealth shrinking, finding jobs will  be more difficult.
