WHERE'S GONSKI WHEN TURNBULL NEEDS SCHOOLING?
What is the point of making David Gonski
chairman of the ANZ bank when he won't even defend it from a
smash-and-grab raid by the Turnbull Government? Is that because he's
mates with Malcolm Turnbull, who just used him to sell the Government's
big cash-splash on schools? Best then get another chairman.
News Corp is sacking skilled staff but leaving Andrew Bolt in place a Churnalist of the highest order not a Journalist but someone who is little more than a 'Dutch Wife who claims to be on his back 80 hours a week. He calls it work and I believe him.
Education is something Bolt has never had or shown respect for. Yet pretends he has, telling us he was educated at Adelaide Uni, a lie. Bolt actually considers schooling little more than a place to network not a place to learn. Schools for Bolt are meeting grounds in order to social climb because it's what he did through marriage not school. Education is not an investment to Bolt it's the cost you need to pay. Schools are like lures to Bolt Scotch, Xavier banners paywalls of promise to climb up the social ladder. It explains why Bolt defends banks over and above the education of Australian kids.
WARMIST OBAMA WRONG, WRONG AND WRONG
Barack Obama hypes the global warming
scare: “Our changing climate is already making it more difficult to
produce food... We’ve already seen shrinking yields." In fact: 2016
had record harvests, which have almost doubled since 2007. The CSIRO
adds: "World wheat, rice and soybean yields have been increasing
linearly over the past 20 years."
Bolt seems so chuffed that global warming has produced high food yields he forgets to mention it's also produced the longest droughts and the largest famines in other parts of the world. There is nothing global about Bolt's tunnel vision and the way he thinks. Just last year he was still trying to convince us that the planet was cooling and not warming it seems he's left that behind. He has jumped the gutter on that one and seems to have accepted the science. Notice that Bolt ignores the fact that extreme droughts have also occurred and have had major impacts like the war in Syria. Warmists haven't just predicted doom and gloom they have however predicted major swings that will have consequences for the balance of the planet.
It seems that Bolts celebration of food production has done nothing to resolve famine on the planet.
FAIRNESS: AN EXCUSE FOR ENVY
My editorial from The Bolt Report -
how the cry of "fairness" too often just means envy of the fruits of
hard work - and idiocy like suggestions that we stop reading to our
children for fear of being unfair to the children of parents who can't
be bothered.
ABC SAYS LOVING PARENTS ARE UNFAIR
How a mania for "fairness" just makes us
all equally stupid: "The ABC has questioned whether parents should read
to their children before bedtime, claiming it could give your kids an
“unfair advantage”... ABC presenter Joe Gelonesi [said:] "Perhaps — in
the interests of levelling the playing field — bedtime stories should
also be restricted.'"
Bolt's banner is a lie the ABC are not
saying anything of the kind but they are however reporting what been said by philosophers. Andrew Bolt
proudly wears the badge of media liar simply to gain attention and hope
of influencing the non thinkers among us.
The fact is there
is no competence test for parenting no licence required to have and raise children. There is however one required to have cats' and dogs. So what's Bolt's tack on this "He wasn't complimenting them on their enterprise, prudence or hard work." Bolt that
the rich deserve complimenting and praising because of their richness.
and Sorry Bolt
inheritance brings on idleness not enterprise poverty brings on hard
work and prudence out of necessity. As a consequence workers are no only wealth poor but time poor as well while the idle rich
have all the time in the world to waste and they do. Who among us can afford the
expensive drugs and liquor but the idle rich and their idle kids without the constant
eye of the law on them and if caught are able to pay and negotiate a defense. The
rich, many are in fact functionally dysfunctional and are able to hide
in plain sight and believe in and expect that entitlement. It's why Safe Schools are
so important because such schools teach that wealth and privilege entitles nothing. All our differences become secondary to our equality, fairness is realized with contact at school and not necessarily at home
The fact that the nuclear family only appeared 200
years ago this is significant in that it's not necessarily the most universally the best or most
functional environment for raising children. The Israeli Kibbutz is a modern day
example of not raising kids in Bolt's family fashion as are other
communes that have survived since before the 70s. The Nuclear family is not the fundamental structure on which China is built on and today one might well ask which is fairer China or the USA?
The nuclear family has been rapidly changing with the changing economic times and today their seems to be a
resurgence or a return to the extended family along side single parenting and
multiple families living in the same house. Necessity it seems is the
mother of invention and unemployment,casualization of labor along with
other social factors are bringing about wholesale changes in the urban
landscape. Bolt however insists the nuclear family is some how a
universal must and not just relative to social and economic circumstance. Why is
he railing against Safe Schools because they more than the family are likely to instil the values of 'fairness'.
As
for the ABC reporting on conversations of philosophers Bolt even finds
that both dangerous suggesting that the ABC is promoting alternatives.
Reporting on anything that make you think is dangerous which Bolt finds
strangely advantageous for him. He can comfortably distort what's
happening and blame the ABC one and at the same time. Denying and in
fact saying nothing of value. However Bolt's example the living model of
a family that promotes inequality via nepotism and when who you know
plays more of a role in Bolt's child rearing practices rather than does
merit and education thus smashing the notion of fair play and a level
playing field. James his son works for the IPA. Is he being groomed?
