Avoid Bolt
TURNBULL BACKS FREE SPEECH REFORMS
Malcolm Turnbull backs reforms to the
Racial Discrimination Act, but leaves in a word so subjective that a
Leftist judge could still ban a lot: 'Turnbull has struck a compromise
deal ... expected to retain the offences of humiliate and intimidate on
the grounds of race, but abolish “insult” and “offend” in favour of a
new higher test of “harass”.'
Where's Ed, the no-speech commissioner?
It is now seven months since the Turnbull
Government appointed Ed Santow to replace Tim Wilson as a Human Rights
Commissioner with a salary of more than $300,000 and a "primary
responsibility for the Commission’s work on freedom of expression". Can
anyone recall a single thing Santow has since done to argue for free
speech? So why is he there?
So now we know Andrew Bolt's sources of verification are Google and Wikipedia. That's his standard of journalistic excellence. Any invetagative work that journalists do fades to nothing when set against Bolt's Google standard.
All Bolt needed to have done to answer his question was to turn to his own News Corp masthead to find his answer. Yes it's in The Australian
"Mr Santow, the chief executive of the
Public Interest Advocacy Centre, said unlike Mr Wilson — now a Liberal
candidate for parliament — he was not a “political animal” and aimed to
“take the political heat out of human rights”.
“I’m much more pragmatic about what works (rather) than trying to see things through a particular ideological prism." Santow AM - New human rights commissioner wants to remove 'political heat .
As usual Andrew Bolt stands alone in his capacity as Australia's one and only juornalistic jester Mr Ed Santow is doing what he's paid to do and not doing what Bolt does when he's not being a journalist or commentator.
This is lining up to be a typical Bolt blog day useful for English teachers of clear thinking to show students what failure means.MUNDINE: "STOLEN GENERATIONS" NO EXCUSE
I say the "stolen generations" are a myth.
Warren Mundine does not agree. But we are united on this: the "stolen
generations" is now being used as a disgraceful excuse to keep
Aboriginal children in dangers from which we would save them if they
were white. This cannot go on.
BUTLER BLIND TO ABC BIAS. AND SKY SHOWS WHY
Labor frontbencher Terri Butler is deaf or
dishonest: "Butler said broadcasters such as Sky News differ to the ABC
as they have 'a lot of opinion mixed in with the broadcast'... She said
she did not believe ABC News is biased in its reporting." In how many
ways does Butler deceive?
The ABC safe from reform
Last week MYOB was one of the companies
demanding the Turnbull Government legislate for same-sex marriage. This
week its chairman - a friend of Malcolm Turnbull is made chairman of the
ABC. I suspect the Left's stranglehold will not be broken.
WHY CAN'T TRUMP JUST BE PRESIDENT?
He won the election. Why can't Donald Trump
just take that massive win and do the damn job? Why tweet wild
claims and just make trouble for himself? Now this: "FBI Director James
Comey has ... rubbished the President’s claim that his campaign was
wire-tapped by the Obama administration." No wonder Trump's poll numbers
aren't great.
NEW ACTU BOSS IS A BOYCOTT-ISRAEL BIGOT
New ACTU secretary Sally McManus not only
thinks unions like the CFMEU have a right to break the law. She also
supports a boycott of Israel, a group punishment of Jews that implies
they are the prime cause of Muslim violence and unrest in the Middle
East. And so this old sickness spreads.
