Andrew Bolt's blog, 16/6/17;Why Contempt is important; Bolt never bets on favorites; Other than Bolt what is contempt?; Sucking up to Trump the Fox way a double whammy;

JUDGES ARE NOT BIASED? REALLY?

My editorial from The Bolt Report  - Victorian judges take on three ministers for suggesting they are biased. Seriously? Free speech at stake. In fact, so much so that on legal advice I cannot even let you comment.

 Is Bolt serious that this is a 'free speech ' issue? When Scott Morrison prevented doctors, nurses and staff reporting on what was occurring on Manus he supported it.  These restrictive laws were introduced by the Abbott Government and had News Corps support against 'free speech'  Bolt is against leakers, whistle blowers if and when it's against his Conservative team. If leaks are against the left  all restrictions are justifiably criticized.  

Contempt of court laws have been for time inmemoriun. They are there t to protect the independance of our judiciary and  to restrict the influence and interference of invividuals and organizations like Bolt's from attempting to interfere with due process. The very statement Bolt is making here doesn't prevent him speaking openly about the law and judicary but it does prevent him from attempting to influence specific judgements. 

" Victorian judges take on three ministers for suggesting they are biased. Seriously? Free speech at stake. In fact, so much so that on legal advice I cannot even let you comment."Bolt 

This however is over dramatization and sensationalism by Bolt and thearter of the absurd. How he whinged and whined when convicted by Judge Mordecai Bromberg it's as if the sky had fallen in and nothin happened. To emphazize his complaints he applied the same tactics telling us he was restricted in what he wanted to really say as if he were another Derryn Hinch a victim of the judiciary. Bolt seems to want another system of justice but never really says what it is he means he just whines. Would he prefer Saudi Law or Russian? Judges aren't exempt from the system either.

 

 

FINKEL'S FINE PRINT: ELECTRICITY PLAN WILL COST, NOT SAVE

Last week's spin: "Australian households would save about $90 a year ...  under the Clean Energy Target proposed by the Finkel review." Yesterday Alan Finkel admitted this is not true - it doesn't include the price of back-up for wind and solar. Liberal MPs and journalists should be furious they were misled.

Bolt's hurdling over what he thinks is the body of global reality in a rush to fantasize the death of Finkel why is that? When Banks aren't interested in investing in coal and the power industry is divesting in coal and business is leading the way to invest in renewable s to become self sufficient. Why is Bolt the shonky financial adviser telling everybody to bet on the the dud horse. The energy ministers of India and China have clearly said they were reducing their importation of coal whose left? Oh the USof A but hang on some of it's states the biggest in fact California has just signed an independent pact with Germany to promote renewables.

Bolt swears if you bet the farm on coal you'll be the winner and so will Aus. Simply bet against the rest of the world like Abbott bet against Gillard's NBN and you can't lose. After all that advice has take us fom 4th to 65th in the world when it comes to internet speed and capacity. You can rely on the Bolt because he's not telling you where is money is invested.

If financial advisers can be sued why can't advisers like Bolt be sued after all some people pay for his advice. 

TURNBULL BACKS FREE SPEECH IN WAR WITH JUDGES

Good on Malcolm Turnbull: "Malcolm Turnbull has supported three government ­ministers who have been asked to explain why they should not face contempt-of-court proceedings after criticising two senior Victorian judges. The Prime Minister yesterday endorsed  'freedom of speech'.” How can it be a crime to accuse judges of bias?

" Contempt of court also acts a powerful tool against the rich and the powerful... it disabuses them of the notion that they are above the law."

Defined as the publication (whether by words, spoken or written, or by signs, or by visible representation or otherwise) of any matter or the doing of any other act whatsoever which:

i) Scandalises or tends to scandalise, or lowers or tends to lower the authority of any court.
ii) Prejudices, or interferes or tends to interfere with the due course of any judicial proceedings.
iii) Interferes or tends to interfere with, or obstructs or tends to obstruct, the administration of justice in any other manner.
  what it means is:
1) That you have to respect the authority of the court.
2) You cannot defy court orders of your own free will.
3) It symbolises that the court stands for a legal authority and no one is above the law.
" Contempt of court also acts a powerful tool against the rich and the powerful as it forces them to obey the orders of the court and disabuses them of the notion that they are above the law." It ensures that everybody is equal in the eyes of the law and it goes direct to the heart of due process. Andrew Bolt demands exactly that when he talks of our Constitution so why is he here smearing our court system which strives to do what on any other day he calls for?

 

TURNBULL SUCKS UP TO JOURNALISTS, HURTS AUSTRALIA WITH TRUMP BASH

Malcolm Turnbull's mockery of Donald Trump at the Press Club ball exactly demonstrates why he's a disastrous leader of a Liberal party. He sucked up to a Left-wing audience by bashing a conservative. He put his popularity among the Left above the national interest. Oh, and he bumgled the whole thing.

 It can't be denied  touting for Trump is one of News Corp's agendas globally. Despite the fact that Trump's approval rating at 36 is almost at his record low of 35 the lowest by any of the Presidents in the modern era. Yet the usual suspects at News Corp keep telling us his base is staunch.

Trump nobody else bashes like he bashes himself. However what another opportunity this is to raise Lazaurus yet again by smearing Turnbull and I'm sure it's being pushed globally by none other than Rupert Murdoch and the usual crew Bolt, Shanahan, Sheridan and Kenny I'm sure others have jumped on the band wagon to tell us how Turnbull is damaging the country

Currently Fox News is blaming 'left wing media' or a euphemism for all media other than itself for the recent  shootings that took place at Nationals Park. Fox says they were done by a Trump hater pushed and encouraged by the leftist media. However such is not the the current hatred rant being showered on Malcolm Turnbull because Murdoch doesn't hate him.  Are we to believe the unison of the News Corp voice isn't confected Turnbull shaming for Tony?

The gang at News Corp have are trying to turn Turnbull into Abbott when the world once mocked him.  https: youtu.be/c3IaKVmkXuk  Their problem the majority of Australians aren't laughing at Turnbull or mocking him.. They are laughing at Trump. Bolt seems to have not noticed, or doesn't want to, that so is the rest of the world. Trump like Abbott has failed to garner respect from the rest of the world Turnbull not alone: Foreign leaders poke fun at Trump
 

" Turnbull must surely know Trump is thin-skinned. He must also know that Trump is so fiercely embattled that sticking up from him could inspire a useful gratitude. And he must certainly know that Trump has the power to make or break Turnbull's dumb refugee swap deal with the US. So which put all that at risk just to get a laugh from journalists?"Bolt  Bolt actually expects our PM to be as cavalier as a used car salesman and he calls that diplomacy. Apparently National relationships and diplomacy are just a game to Bolt a bit like his job.  US takes Turnbull's Trump impression 'with good humour' Where Bolt rarely get's things right.

TURNBULL ALLIES MOVE TO SACK ABBOTT, PURGE CONSERVATIVES

Malcolm Turnbull is taking the Liberal out of the Liberal party: "Tony Abbott's prospects of recontesting his seat at the next election are under increasing threat with momentum building within the NSW Liberal Party to bump him off at preselection...  The moderate faction is also not discounting trying again to unseat conservative Craig Kelly."

 It's about time and it show he hasn't the numbers. 

 

MARK STEYN ON THE SEDUCTION OF VIOLENCE

Mark Steyn on the Left's love of violence, and the attack on me last week.

Steyn moves his lips and you know he's lying. The video shows it all. Bolt wasn't "attacked" he had a cup of glitter thrown on him and that's clear in the video. From there on in Andrew Bolt became the insane aggressor. That too is plain to see in the video. One asks who told Steyn the story it must have been Bolt because there weren't 3 people. There were 2 camera men one declared himself and denied he was involved. How is it the story has been left with Bolt to relay and nobody else because it;s not true The video, the camera mans silence and the woman's disappearance all prove what we are seeing is PR protection on the part of Bolt. Charge him!!
