Andrew Bolt's Blog,14/4/16; Safety in our schools is called pornography. Bolt posts it without comment; National Interest has no place in Bolt's Australia; Bolt declares 60 minutes guilty and let them stew; We are European in Fortress Australia, Catholic Church a Right Wing Corporation; Anti Multiculturalism if it weren't for muslims he'd be anti-Greek; Islamophobia from a fascist bogan in a suit; Bolt the snob has no time for Lycra Real economic facts;,

Are your children safe with the Andrews Government?

A banner posted as a threat by Bolt without a comment by Bolt is Bolt's idea of reasoned argument. " The Building Respectful Relationships material, which is meant to prevent family violence, is replacing religious education lessons during class time in Victorian state schools this year." Seems perfectly reasonable in a secular and multiracial society. Given religious education has had little success in reducing domestic violence or violence against women it seems an extremely rational  and reasonable that a uniform secular approach be tried. After all religious educators are the least to have professional experience in the areas involved.

Taking singular items and advertising them as the core of the program simply indicates just how narrow minded and blinkered in thought  conservative extremists are. We've seen how in the past "Rock and Roll" was set to destroy our society as we knew it. The flower power movement of the 60s was simply an excuse for avoiding social responsibility by dole bludgers and required National Service  to boost ADF numbers for Vietnam as sufficient numbers of volunteers weren't to be found. Here we have a socially responsible program of education being accused of pornography by those that want Christian values only taught in our multicultural schools.

 

 

 

 

 

Labor promises to throw your good money to prop up bad businesses

It never fails to amaze how Bolt talks about Shorten breaking trade agreements but totally fails to ask why China can suddenly put restrictions on internet sales of products from Australia. Natural Therapeutic and dairy products have had regulatory restrictions put on them threatening  billions of dollars of exports. However why would he be protecting China's interests over and above ours by not mentioning this? Oh his priority to embarrass Bill Shorten of course. Trade agreements can't be compromised  by us unless they are agreements  broken by conservatives. 

Bolt somehow is unable to distinguish private from national interest in fact there is no national interest in his ideal model of society everything ought to be privatised in his scheme of things even our Defense. In someways it is because private companies act as security for our Defense now.  It's only when ideas of National Interest are raised  that  National waste and harm are raised by the likes of Bolt. Yet the largest waste, bankruptcies and fraudulent practices are to be found in the private sector and the public the tax payer is charged for those losses. So as far Bolt is concerned the Whyalla can go to the wall as can Clive Palmer's Nickel plant and the $73 mill loss to workers at Palmer's born by the workers and not the tax payers. The same to be said for Whyalla. Workers and the families are of no National Interest. 




 

Before you read this: what race are you? What gender? Handicapped in any way?

" Why not simply ask people if they can drive trams safely?  This is just encouraging the grievance industry."Bolt

Is he a dork or is he a dork the application was for trains not trams Bolt. You obviously are unqualified or already drunk. How does one discourage the  grievance industry? Bolt is actually it's president he seems to have more grievances than any body . He 's after all Melbournes greatest victim. 

 

 

60 Minutes: no way charges dropped

Tara Brown and the 60 Minutes crew were detained in Lebanon.
Suzan Haidamous Kidnap case judge says 'there was violation by all these people'.


 

Will 60 Minutes make Australia kowtow to Iran?

Bolt made it perfectly clear on Pickering's show that when he talks to an audience they won't suddenly change their  mindset that he is only giving voice to an underrepresented conservative minority. That certainly is the truth. Obviously he doesn't believe that to be the case here given his banner. It seems he's trying to convince us to leave the 60 minutes crew to be hung out to dry. " the 60 Minutes team in Beirut, in jail after an incredibly foolhardy attempt to kidnap two children in a custody dispute: " As far as Bolt is concerned they are "guilty"!! He sounds just like a  zealot exactly as  he would like us to think of Iranis, less than human. It seems being Australian is of little concern to Bolt nor does he sound like any I know. If you find yourself in trouble abroard and politics are momentarily compromised the government can rightly turn their backs on you.  So in this case let them stew it's their own doing  and we don't  even talk to the enemy or even the friends of the enemy. Could you expect less of an Australian attitude than that from Bolt. "But what would be the price? And would the rest of us be told? " 

 Talking to Hezbolla is Bolt's worst nightmare. Even Israelis talk to them but not Bolt what sort of fanatic is he? What garden path is Bolt even taking us up? Shari Markson was arrested in Israel for talking to terrorists being assisted by Israel in their war against Syria and Bolt's said nothing. The man runs on double standards complains about the Chinese below and then steals their language make his point. I cringe!

 

 

Talking to Charlie

" We had a good conversation on his show last night:" Did Bolt ask what Charlie thought of the conversation or did not bother. The man simply doesn't listen it's a comedy show and what Bolt calls a good conversation wasn't funny.

 

 

 

Unemployment down

" Relatively good news for Australia, and better for the Turnbull Government:"

That's what Bolt calls high praise which he follows up with " drop in full-time jobs spoils the overall good news". One wonders how the dullard celebrates Xmas.

 

 

 

Sinking, sinking into long-term debt

 

 "It’s easy to criticise, but the feral Senate and a public fed lies are refusing to accept the spending cuts we need. Insisting on more would be courageous and dangerous:"Bolt

Facts that Bolt or his Troll won't tell you. about the 30 years before  Tony Abbott.

 "In a similar vein, in the last 30 years, there have been 10 occasions when the tax to GDP ratio has been below 22.0 per cent of GDP and all 10 were under a Labor Government. To put simply, the Howard government was a high taxer, while the current Labor Government is a lower taxer." 

"In terms of government spending, there have been only five years in the four decades leading up to 2012-13 when real government spending was cut in real terms. None of those cuts were delivered by a Coalition government. All five times that there has been a cut in real government spending have been when a Labor government has framed and delivered the budget. There were three years during the Hawke government in the late 1980s where government spending was cut in real terms and there have been two occasions in the current Labor administration where such cuts have occurred."

 

 

No, Tony

There is no doubt about it Bolt is a snob!!   Speedos and lycra for him are a no go zone just have a look at what he is proud of. Not just proud of but what speaks for him anything less is crude rude and plebeian. Herald Sun readers wouldn't get throught the front door of Bolt's without a  Peter Jackson's suit.

These collectables will have there some might even wind up at Lenard Joel's again or even Young's in Camberwell or the market . His kids might even be told they are really worth something an inheritance to fight over.

Australian Sheik calls for “armies of Jihad” to conquer West

Bolt highlights what extremists Muslims call out but stays quite on what the UPF and Reclaim Australia say. What he calls a traditionalist view would probably champion the attitudes the Dutch showed Indonesians when they were  there. One word for their attitude "brutal" describes how they treated the place.

 The sheik in Sydney responds to people like Bolt Newton's Law applies. Bolt's certainly not a shining example of the Christian ethic. Turning the cheek for him is 180 degrees or turning your back. All 3 Abrahamic religions have their backs turned to each other with eyes wide shut. Woman jailed for racially abusing teenage girl on Sydney train | World news | The Guardian

How do Muslims feel about groups like ISIS?
Recent surveys show that most people in several countries with significant Muslim populations have an unfavorable view of ISIS, including virtually all respondents in Lebanon and 94% in Jordan. Relatively small shares say they see ISIS favorably. In some countries, considerable portions of the population do not offer an opinion about ISIS, including a majority (62%) of Pakistanis.
Favorable views of ISIS are somewhat higher in Nigeria (14%) than most other nations. Among Nigerian Muslims, 20% say they see ISIS favorably (compared with 7% of Nigerian Christians). The Nigerian militant group Boko Haram, which has been conducting a terrorist campaign in the country for years, has sworn allegiance to ISIS.
More generally, Muslims mostly say that suicide bombings and other forms of violence against civilians in the name of Islam are rarely or never justified, including 92% in Indonesia and 91% in Iraq. In the United States, a 2011 survey found that 86% of Muslims say that such tactics are rarely or never justified. An additional 7% say suicide bombings are sometimes justified and 1% say they are often justified in these circumstances.
In a few countries, a quarter or more of Muslims say that these acts of violence are at least sometimes justified, including 40% in the Palestinian territories, 39% in Afghanistan, 29% in Egypt and 26% in Bangladesh.
In many cases, people in countries with large Muslim populations are as concerned as Western nations about the threat of Islamic extremism, and have become increasingly concerned in recent years. About two-thirds of people in Nigeria (68%) and Lebanon (67%) said earlier this year they are very concerned about Islamic extremism in their country, both up significantly since 2013.

 

 

 

Immigration turning the West into nations of tribes

Bolt constantly compares Australia to Europe it's not neither geographically or culturally comparable. All it takes is Australians of European heritage or not to go back and they will see just how different we in fact are. We are more culturally American than European.

" There is still denialism about the role of Islam, though, in creating hostile colonies in the heart of Europe.  But there is no denialism now that immigration has become colonization, creating a nation of competing tribes:"

Rubbish the negative attitude to Muslims is not widespread across the EU Italy, Greece and Spain and Poland the Catholic countries do have a higher degree of prejudice  however they are equally if not more prejudiced against the Catholic Roma than they are Muslims.  The thing is it's with the political Right  where the prejudice lies they think they are the only ones allowed there as Bolt does here. Research shows  a 30% gap in attitudes between the minority right wing and others in the community. UK 81% of people don't share his intolerance of the right. Even France which is 27% Muslim  78% of the population doesn't have the negative attitude Bolt has. But then he doesn't care about that because he believes he speaks for everyone and not just the extreme minority. Bolt represents the extreme negative voice of racism in this country. Read this blog and you'd think otherwise that he speaks for all of us.  If he did he'd feel comfortable walking the streets of Melbourne speaking publicly but he's not. His views represented here are more foreign and un-Australian and what's surprising it's promoted by a son of Dutch migrants from Aalesmere the most notorious town in Holland for it's anti-Semitic prejudice and it's support of the Nazis  not just by it's mayor but for the townsfolk who enthusiastically elected him.


 

 

Catholic church reminds campaigning business that Catholics are its customers, too

" It isn’t often that conservatives use the tactics of the Left, and how effective it’s now proved for the Catholic church:"

The power of the church is not reflected in the numbers of it's parishioners that's for sure but more so it's  economic power and corporate structure . If Bolt believes the Church had that much influence over it's members in 2016 and that it reflects their morality as it once did he lives in fantasy land. The Catholics in this country are dwindling in numbers. It's schools once exclusive to Catholics are today open to people of all faiths and reflect multicultural nature of Australia more than they do a  Catholic one or even  an exclusive white European one.  

Bolt's political ignorance shows when saying the Church employed tactics of the Left against Telstra. When the Exclusive Brethren did a deal with the Howard government it may have been the case but not the corporate Catholic Church? The Commercial thuggery used by this Church is akin to that used by the Mining Companies when they advertised against the Mining Tax. Who was the Church representing in it's threats not it's  parishioners that's for sure.  Because the organization of the Church has a far more corporate structure than it does a union like one it's hardly Left-wing Mr Bolt. I suggest you re-think basic politics 101.

 

 

Column - China the latest threat to our nation of tribes

I don't subscribe to anything News Corp and I certainly don't miss out.

 " Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull is going to China today to tell its leaders what Australia wants. But he doesn’t need to go there to know what China wants."

According to Bolt consensus is not the way to progress adversary. You don't listen you argue to to move forward. Colonisers simply came and took the country for king and country and didn't ask. It's what happened in South Africa. Everthing went downhill when we tried to form a consensus change and accommodate everyone. For Bolt the best times were when we were truly a European country in Asia. A place he really never experienced. He certainly wasn't a typical child of the 60s, a hippy. Furthermore in the 70s he just wanted to get out of the place and couldn't leave fast enough to get back to his roots Europe.

I don't believe he's left. He's never really been Australian just kook at the photo of his desk. He has a fortress Australia mentality has no wish to see much further than his front fence. He hangs about antique shops and art galleries in order to create little Europe at hope but not the working class Europe that brought people here post WW2 the middle class Europe. Bolt imposes his world of sameness on us where as Australians welcome people to their world of difference. The racism that exists here is because of the Bolt's of this world the left overs who refuse to see past the horizon. How the hell did Bolt grow up in Australia? Frankly I don't think he ever did. It's why Bolt doesn't need to go to China.
