Fierravanti-Wells punished. UPDATE: Tim Wilson wins

UPDATE

According to Bolt the Liberal Party is so divided and corrupt. Bolt can babble on about the internal workings of the Liberal party Connie Wells can't and needs to be punished. Bolt is entitled to his freedom of speech Wells isn't We really do need to VOTE LABOR they have cleaned up their act in comparison. Bolt however is worse than a weather cock in a storm. The man has only one principle himself.

Fierravanti-Wells punished. UPDATE: Tim Wilson wins

Amazing apparently free-speech is punishable and Bolt relishes the fact that a free-speech party can and will hand out punishment to anyone who speaks their mind. Connie addressed her dissatisfaction that Abbott and Credlin did nothing to address the rumors about them in the ACT which were damaging their government.

Bolt rejoices at the same time that free speech warrior Tim Wilson won preselection in Brighton. What an act of hypocrisy. We can assume Wilson would have supported Connie Well's right to comment. What a hypocrite Bolt is.

It seems the IPA are becoming an independent branch within the Liberal Party and the Catallaxy files representative of true Liberal thinking. 

 

 

No strategy, no communication, no deeds of his own

Bolt's campaign to VOTE LABOR

 

 

 

Victorian Labor Government deceives on Safe Schools. UPDATE: Has Dowsett changed on pedophiles?

How are we to understand Dowsett's views? Well we can't and Bolt doesn't really want to reveal them he's interested in selling a subscription to The Australian.  Safe Schools: Victoria to defy Federal Government on anti-bullying program

" Why is the media, so hot to persecute Cardinal George Pell for his views on pedophiles in the 1970s, so silent on Dowsett’s in the 1980s?" Pell's views were quite clear pedophilia by priests is wrong  however it is must be hidden  to protect the Catholic Church god's institution on earth. Sinners confess and are given absolution for their sins. It's very crux of confession. Victims are never really meant to be prioritised by the Church sinners are. Pell certainly was never confused on these issues. Dowsett on the other hand clarifies the obvious for all of us that our social norms don't truely reflect the confusion we face in reality. Confusion however denied by Bolt who claims to be a humanist but reveals himself to be an absolutist when it comes to morals and values. Values of course set by the upper classes over time..LNP plays gutter politics with Safe Schools

Nobody ever said poofter bashing didn't go on in academic circles it certainly does in Bolt's blogs.  However it's great to see research grants are being given in Australia which has  us becoming leaders in many fields. It would be a shame that grants were only given to replicate the same work done in the US or elsewhere. Yes poofter bashing isn't the exclusive territory of knuckleheads in bars. It's unfortunate it can be found in Bolt's work as well. His denigration of the Safe Schools program is evidence of that. As is his  anti- feminism, racism, Islamophobia, etc etc etc all of which are various forms of bullying.

Had it still been the 50's and early 60's Bolt would certainly not wanted Jews in any of his clubs Germans or Japanese. But then he's Dutch Australian bigots can make of that what they want.

Madonna strips girl to reveal her breast part. Where are the feminists?

Anyone could have guessed Bolt would be titillated by this as would his mate Tim Bevis Blair. The 17 year old Greek girl in question said it was an accident and didn't give it a second thought and thought people like Bolt were simply pervs not worth paying attention to.

Here we have Bolt distorting what was an accident in the very way misogynists do. He simply ignores the fact that the two women involved defined the whole situation contrary to Bolt. Does he listen not on your life. He simply rapes the context for his pleasure. He is dickhead life guard impressed by his own authority who drags someone to safety who is waving but not drowning and told . Yes Andrew Bolt is a lunk a Rolf Harris who pleasures himself at the expense of others.

"But when a female singer does this - on stage before a huge audience in the hall and via video - it is OK? The “best moment” of a girl’s wanna-be life?

Where are the feminists? Having a girl stripped before a crowd so it can oggle her breast as the best part of her is surely the cheap objectification of women we should abhor."

 

 

Scenes of the tribalising of Australia: brick hits two-year-old

Bolt sees a story that makes no reference to anything tribal. However he sees fit to post a banner that appears to make no sense whatsoever other amplifying his racism. The pictures show a whole lot of  what appear to be dark skinned Australians including the victim  in the story. The only racist image I get from all of this is Andrew Bolt white migrant Australian casting some very negative suggestions  about a group of other Australians who were involved in some ugly altercation. We also know if the people in the photo had been white Bolt would have not even showed or bothered about  it.

 However what is worthy of mention is that W.A is the worlds leading place no Australia is the worlds leading nation for the incarceration of it's indigenous youth and largely for  minor property crimes or the failure to pay fines. Due to laws of mandatory sentencing and the 3 strikes your out rule. These crimes are poverty crimes and given Australia's indigenous are the largest group to be found in all poverty indices.  One can conclude it's a crime to be poor in Australia.

 

 

Why did Europe let them in?

" And think how Europe so wilfully imported the terrorism that is now helping to drag it to its knees:" Bolt. Bolt's distortion is his claim that these people were not homegrown, EU citizens. That they weren't born in the EU but imported is a lie .They were French and Belgian nationals. As far as Bolt is concerned 100 years of citizenship would still make you an import.  So even Bolt identifies himself as an import as are his children. They ought never be regarded Australian. His logic then leaves the indigenous people the first peoples here as the only true Australians. He really does flip flop.

Bolt like all fear mongers simply calls refugees, migrants that they come and want to stay. However the majority don't and aren't migrants. Of course they want short term safety and still long to go  home. Typical of the mindset of any imperialist.

Bolt never references the fact that these refugees are in fact the product of Israel and the Western Coalition. Or that of the 14mill Syrians 7mill are children whose parents want them safe. What Bolt does do is detail and amplify the minority of  wrongs that  occur when large numbers of humans gather.  He does it here in Australia. Apex a multicultural and racial gang becomes in Bolt's hands and African gang sometimes Sudanese and at other times Somalis depending what story he wants to publish. Does he know the numbers in the gang no. He doesn't care if truth doesn't fit his narrative which is always a single minded fantasy. Bolt only has one story to tell and it's totally egocentric and "they" simply aren't us. Who are "they"? Anyone Bolt wants to nominate.

 

Aston in the ruins of France

" Muslim French have by far the highest birth rates. And their population in Marseille is already 40 per cent. One in five Parisians is Muslim."

Child birth rates a  Muslim threat how crude Bolt is. Child hood rates are more a symptom of poverty and the insecurity that comes with it. In countries where welfare is certain childhood rates are lower. In the wealthy class childhood rates are lower religion aside. Childhood rates aren't soley determined by religion. In France where most Muslims aren't guaranteed citizenship let alone  welfare childhood rates are higher amongst the disenfranchised who yes happen to be Muslim not because they are Muslim.


"But it’s other signs of decline that worry Aston as much - the decline of a Western society losing faith in its values or the rigor to live by them, so that the only game is self-interest and the scrabble for the power to secure it:" Bolt

 Bolt never defines what he means by "Western Society" it's "values" and the" rules" by which we should live. He can and does tell you what it isn't when he sees it. It's strange however he supports "individual self interest" and the competition for wealth & power in a free market. Yet he bags it if Muslim. It's strange because Mohommed was the first to actually start a free market in Medina and yes he was a business man.

Victorian Labor Government repeats deceit about Safe Schools

 "But this program is not actually about stopping bullying, as the Victorian Government claims. Here it from the program’s Marxist author herself:"

A program that promotes the safety in diversity of individual's sexuality being called Marxist is a level  of propaganda that shows no compassion for the history of the damage caused children in the past or their future safety. It does however show the extreme self interested nature of the current extreme right to gain any political advantage.  LNP plays gutter politics with Safe Schools


 

Journalists protest at Fairfax’s fall - and show they just don’t get it

From the man who hates real journalists.  Bolt actually thinks the Murdoch  business model of print is legitimately allowed to label itself news and not fraud. News Corp print media is bleeding as much even more  than Fairfax but is being  purely supported by Foxtel. Murdoch's business model of selling sport, entertainment, salacious celebrity gossip and right wing commentary  is simply there to align itself with and promote the interests of the wealthy and political class of Australia. It has nothing to do with news. It's path to profitability determined by the quid pro quo favors in a long term return expected from the right wing of politics. Favors allowing News Corp to destroy everything in it's path with the change of laws. News Corp gave up on news long ago and is simply a propaganda sheet operating with the minimum of journalists better known as churnalists most of whom aren't qualified to call themselves journalists. Andrew Bolt is typical of what journalism is not about.

"This is already a crazy response to an unrealistic aim. Surely the proper response to the Fairfax sackings is to work even harder to create a product that actually sells both newspapers and advertising?" Bolt This is rather hypocritical coming from  an employee whose salary wouldn't exist if it weren't for Foxtel . A writer and commentator producing product that makes no profit for any business. Herald Sun runs at a loss. The Bolt Report was unwanted despite being given free to Ch10 it on any scale was judged a loss. Other than his salary who does Bolt generate a profit for? Nevertheless it's his opportunity to attack those he silently respects but hates the Quill award winners of the industry Waleed Aly etc.  Those who genuinely provide information and news the guts that ensures our democracy.Bolt hasn't won an award in his life other than a pat on the back from his mother.

Yes Fairfax a news paper is restructuring. Yes a lot will be concentrated in rural areas and yes having done that it will most likely be reemploying again. Bolt says Journalists don't understand capitalism. It seems he dosen't. Business is an on going journey changing daily and Bolt himself felt it's sting when the Bolt Report fell in a heap. It had nothing to do with market or ratings it was a totally subsidised program and it never showed a profit. Will it be transferred to Sky News? Why on earth would it when it couldn't make money on free to air?  Bolt's patrons aren't on that board are they? Will Murdoch want to be seen pushing his model of Fox News on to Sky? "Moreover, to demand Fairfax hire more journalists than customers will pay for while you clutch a glass of wine at a swish dinner is not a great way to appeal to sympathy. Do these journalists know their market?:" These green monster remarks coming from a loser in every aspect of  the product he's marketing is just sour grapes from someone who so much so wants respect  but can't get it . Like the song says Bolt is "looking for love in all the wrong places" and is bitter because he can't get it.  He can only go to his moderated blog comments and ask "mirror mirror on the wall"

" Actually, what Fairfax needs are readers and advertisers." How is it Bolt doesn't need to do this? What you don't hear from Bolt is "

Despite some reports that Fairfax has prepared to shut down its major newspaper publications, Mr Corbett said: "I can categorically reassure that we have no plans whatsoever to close down any of our newspapers, our major newspapers, at this stage.
"I think there might have been a hope in News they might be able to coerce us somehow directly or indirectly to move out of the papers and that they would be a gain for them. That's not going to happen."
