 Turnbull Government in crisis: Manus to close, just as poll numbers plummet to Abbott level

Deluded Conservatives

  

Bolt should watch and listen to Waleed Aly tonight he just might learn just how to deliver a message. Bolt's got 25 years of experience up on Waleed but not the Education, IQ or or even the style or sincerity to match. I think he really needs lessons in how  to seem genuine now that he tells us he's cured his shyness.

 

It seems Miranda Devine is right the PNG High Court decision is not just a government crisis but a Turnbull one not even one inherited from the Abbott government. Bolt's banners, his first was altered to an even more hysterical level,  seem to exude the  excited pleasure  of a "deluded conservative". Bolt offers no opinion of any solution because quietly hopes there isn't one. The Malaysia solution was knocked back by Abbott will we see a Sri Lankan solution  forming after all Abbott gave them a boat.

What you don't hear from Bolt is 42% to 28% believe Turnbull will win the election. Further 35% of Liberals still say they are more likely to vote LNP against 23% that said they won't since Turnbull became leader. It'sa wonder Bolt didn't let us know:Austria's Far-Right Rises In Presidential Election Vote

 

 

 

Trump could win this outright after today

 

If he is outright leader then I guess he'll be America's Turnbull as far as the conservatives are concerned, unwanted.  Will Murdoch back him for President?

 

 

Where has the devine Miranda gone?

Why didn't Bolt bring up Michael Kroger's leftist liberal slip, telling Tony Abbott to pull his head in or quit? Too needed by Bolt.

Well said Miranda Devine that Bolt is deluded!! Had Devine been a Fairfax Reporter unneeded on his Bolt Report she wouldn't just  have  got a tut tut and a hit with a feather duster from Bolt, such misogynistic and paternal one at that.  Devine like many others Kroger included have called the extreme conservatives  delusional and not helping the Party. Devine has simply and clearly defined their media supporters with Bolt in the forefront. Their declaration clearly seeming to be the re-installation of Tony Abbott or the  punishment of the Liberal Party for de-throning him. Such is their delusion they'd prefer Labor in government to Turnbull and Bolt has as much as said so in the way he writes. It's not irony.

Irony what irony Andrew Bolt? Bolt turns away from Devine's complaint and becomes her English teacher instead. What a toe rag misogynist saying your not my equal he who just yesterday spelt "robbing" "ronning" and the day before declaring Tuesday to be Thursday. Bolt is the last person to criticize Devine's skills. 

Bolt doesn't write and publicize his show? Two days before he promised a scoop "tune in" has been his mantra for his forthcoming "I'm so excited moment" foor a month. He bragged no drooled.

 To dodge the criticism of delusional, Bolt doesn't even begin to respond to Devine's accusations about revenge for Tony. He ducks the issue altogether "what me" is Bolt's dodge claiming he's merely reporting Turnbull's errors no subtext  intended or included.

Bolt is a poor performer on TV his ratings on Ch10 clearly showed that. A review is no abuse even if taken personally but he's bad and needs to be self conscious of it. He won't be a better one on SKY as Latham and Jones clearly amplify his paucity of talent. Bolt is a marionette with a tin ear,  unnatural and even when his guests disagree with him he just quickly moves on. He offers any listener with an IQ nothing hanging in moments of uncertainty to his notes like a lifeline. The man needs Miranda Devine whoes spontaneous, laughs listens and has natural talent. When she says "she knows Andrew " we all do  except most of us don't forgive him for what he is unlike Devine.  Bears do it with a slap Bolt but you, you get your  knickers in a knot.

"  No one in our society is above criticism and we are all allowed to hold opinions and to speak freely."

"you would do better to listen to the criticism than attack the people reporting it."

I'm with The Australian on this it's apparent  Bolt's not the whinging hypocrite.

 

Greens for global warming

 We show a persistent and widespread increase of growing season integrated LAI (greening) over 25% to 50% of the global vegetated area, whereas less than 4% of the globe shows decreasing LAI (browning). 

 Bolt logic It's ok , keep deforestation going and reduce the global vegetated areas and you will see an greening increase to 75% soon . Even the the central Australia turns green after the rains that's 100% greening in areas like the Little Desert. 

 Bolt logic.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Green pants on fire

 

 

The methane leak may not be due to fracking according to whoever Bolt can drag up to put in a qualified  might. Bolt however always blames tree huggers and Greens he really doesn't like to refer to the fact that it's the local farmers and property owners who are complaining the very core of Western values property owners. It's big government that has crossed the line that Bolt holds so dear private property. He'd scream if it were his tulips being dug up. No attention is given to the people who own and have lived on the land some for generations and have sworn no rivers of have ever been seen even after lightening strikes. The locals just seem to be collateral damage to Bolt. As for Mc Crann's piece nothing need be said. Some people believed there was a time when indentured slave labor saved the poor as well. That Stan Grant was wrong to hide from the welfare man when he snooped on the families self created poverty.

Did Bolt watch Alan Jones on Sky last night and the open cut coal mines. Principles or sides whoes who?

Promising fantasy money for fantasy problems

The hours worked in Australia were worse under Tony Abbott than under Labour or even Turnbull  which indicates the Liberals have done nothing for jobs. Yet Bolt says people vote to stay on welfare "Australia now has more people who vote for their money than who work for it..." The far right is where insanity rules with Bolt's unicorn ans western values.

 

 

 

The great con in the 60 Minutes fiasco

" One other thing. Channel Nine employed a kidnapper, Adam Whittington, to grab the children but then left him in a Beirut jail without any help when police pounced."  Bolt. Nobody on the Bolt report agreed with Bolt calling the Australians involved "kidnappers" Even Gerard Henderson Bolt looked stupid and knew he couldn't argue the point. A few days before Bolt accused the father of being a Hezbollah terrorist. So that was quickly thrown in the bi because he'd find it hard to to say Ch9 kidnapped them from Hezbollah. 

As for tricking up events and calling them news you can't get better than Tony Abbott being sprung doing a photo shoot with Rupert Murdoch hiding out of sight making out Obama McCain etc had all gone out of their way to meet statesman Tony when they heard he was in the USA. Murdoch took Abbott to the $200 a head annual lunch where the press weren't allowed to set up accidental run ins to be shot and published in the News Corp Australian mastheads to make Abbott look oh so important and that's not tricking up the news.

Reality Bites

So we rang Vernon Jordan, the host of the lunch, who was happy to talk and told us bluntly:


VERNON JORDAN: There were no private meetings with the President. There was a cocktail party and then we sat down to lunch. There were 100 guests, not 50. I know because I pay the bill. I wish it was 50.

MEDIA WATCH: Was Mr Murdoch there?

VERNON JORDAN: Yes, yes, sure.

MEDIA WATCH: Was Mr Abbott a guest of Mr Murdoch?

VERNON JORDAN: Yes. He was Mr Murdoch’s guest at the Alfalfa dinner, and because he was in town he came to my lunch as well and we were delighted to have him.

MEDIA WATCH: Did Mr Abbott meet with the President?

VERNON JORDAN: I’m sure they shook hands, but the President shook hands with everyone in the room.

— Vernon Jordan, Lawyer and Civil Rights Leader, Statement to Media Watch, 5 February, 2016

So, there we have it. According to the President’s old friend and host, no private meeting or private dinner for our ex-PM. A handshake with the President that everyone got ... at a lunch for 100 ... to which Rupert Murdoch had invited him.

So clearly our former PM does have friends in high places. Even if President Obama may not specially be one of them.

And what’s Mr Abbott’s reponse? His spokesman told Media Watch:


Mr Abbott was pleased to have the opportunity to speak with President Obama privately at a lunch on Saturday 30 January, 2016. Mr Abbott was the guest of Mr Rupert Murdoch AC.

— Spokesperson for Tony Abbott, Member for Warringah, 8 February, 2016


Face to face they may have been but if it was one minute, two minutes or even five, it’s hardly what the Telegraph and others have built it up to be.

Yes, there are Western values not shared by others

 

" Many in the far Left despise Western values" This is the lie that neo- conservatives proffer from their paranoid corner with their backs to the wall. 

"But more worrying is the know-nothingness and vicious contempt for the Western culture that best nurtures exactly the freedoms that allow the perpetually adolescent to express themselves without being stoned, beheaded, blown up, shot or thrown blindfolded from tall buildings."

This is the extreme stupidity of extreme right bigots who accuse all extreme bigots as representative of what really exists in nations and not general tolerance. The majority of Muslims live in countries that aren't Theocracies and aren't the extreme caricatures  as portrayed by wackos like Bolt and Blair who have left no space for any one right of them other than Anders Brevik.  It's the Bolt's and Blair's the trumpeters the clarions who give life to and call to arms the wacko's of Australia the constructors of Cronulla. 

 However what are these mythical Western values  Australian values Bolt alludes to ? They are never specified only define in terms of Race, Religion and Culture it seems. Well how specific is that? However  race isn't a value other than to the likes of Bolt and Blair. So is it Christian values they are referring to? Bolt's an agnostic and claims to be rationalist so it can't be values based on faith alone but reason. Oh scientific values that actually had their origin in the Middle East so no it can't be those either. These guys have their anuses so jammed up against the Western wall they have no answers because everything is East of them and dangerous. 

 

 

 

Turnbull puts national security behind political security

 

Doesn't Bolt only state the obvious that politicians are politicians? After all what did Sophie Mirabella say about Indi and the $10 mill that hospitals missed out on for not electing her? Oh the health of the nation isn't important. Bolt defended her Poor Sophie. As for Adelaide no mention of Warren Mundine's arguments about the national interest in retaining ship building skills in this country particularly skills relevant to defense. We could have got an even cheaper deal from China but they weren't invited to tender. Bolt doesn't even begin to weigh up of which at this time is the most important investment the Economy or Security. Abbott gave us an over expensive and obsolete NBN placing us from 30th to 60th on the worlds efficient communications ladder. Guess communications has nothing to do with National Security either.

Bolt's in his stupidity forgets just how much Abbott used money to influence politics and electorates. The withdrawal of 3 billion funding from Victoria if the electorate didn't vote Liberal and the the East Link didn't go ahead. Tollways and main arterial roads are also a part of our National Security and need to be carefully chosen not just plonked where they are not needed just be a political ping pong ball as Abbott & Vic Liberals turned it into.

Does anybody for one minute think Bolt is talking up  National Security for all our interest not at all he's only talking up the interests of the extreme  conservatives who are simply trying to have the tail wag the dog.

Labor puts volunteers under control of a hard-Left union

 

The amount of destruction fires cause this country let alone this state annually dictates that the days of voluteer firefighters be replaced by professionals. Given the number of fires started by  CFA members dictates professionals need be in control. Maybe Bolt thinks we ought to have volunteer services returned to the country.  Wherever there are currently services with any union content such as police, nurses, ambulances etc. The return of dads army and the boy scouts.

 What is strange he hasn't mentioned privatizing all services that's generally his want not  creating or retaining volunteers they destroy the free market as well.
