Where Tony Abbott's "better" NBN has taken us. We used to be 40th
The Immigration Minister has come to the aid of the ASIO head.
Hard day at the office for Andrew Bolt. Dutton and Cate McGregor all disagree with him. Watch him try wriggle his way out. Or just remain silent as if nothing happened.

Andrew Bolt's living legend
Controversy is not new to Margaret Court. It has emerged that in 1970
she wrote to a New Zealand newspaper defending apartheid saying,“if you
ask me, South Africa has the racial situation rather better organised
than anyone else, certainly much better than the United States.” This
was in the context of some other sports people boycotting South Africa.

Finally, to those who jump, without hesitation, to the defence of
Cardinal Pell and assume that his accusers are “deluded” or “confused”
or hold some maniacal vendetta: As stated above, George Pell is entitled
to the presumption of innocence, but that does not mean that his
accusers deserve to be summarily dismissed in the way that children
almost always had been until the royal commission turned decades of
silence and obfuscation and failure-to-believe on its head.

GUTTING THE LIBERALS
Nicely put by John Roskam: "In the years to
come we’ll see whether the Australian Conservatives Party, the Liberal
Democratic Party, and even One Nation are to the Liberals, what REA
Group, Carsales.Com, and Seek have been to Fairfax."
The very notion that the Liberal Party has started looking like the Labor Party can only have been made by an ultra- Conservative and what a surprise it's been said by Roskam the controller of the conservatives in the Liberal Party by the IPA. No mention of the fact here that with Bob Hawke the Labor Party started to look like the Liberals who failed to know what to do until John Howard stepped in and took them to the right and Tony Abbott tried and still is trying to take them to the extreme Right. However the Party is in shambles because nobody can settle on a position where politics works for the nation and that's not at the extremes but in the middle where the real work is done the work of negotiation and compromise that Roskam doesn't like because that's where Democracy really works and the nation gets value for money.
Fairfax and the Liberals are nothing alike Fairfax has been decimated by technology and has had to wing it because technology made being a Newspaper too expensive. The Liberals were never about selling truth, critical analysis or information. They weren't just about profit but power. Fairfax weren't structured that way. News Corp however were global and their papers weren't reliant on making a profit they were supported by a much bigger organization that was operating in the worlds Anglosphere. Myers, DJ's Woolworths and Coles are now feeling the heat that Fairfax felt with the global retailers coming here liek Aldi ,H7M and Zarah.
The Liberal Party's problem is that the further extreme they get they fragment. They aren't a Party and threats like Roskam's isn't going to make them one. Guess it's getting to the pointy end of the stick because time is running out for Abbott and what we will see is him making a move with the help of the IPA, and News Corp we have seen it all before. But he didn't win back then either Labor lost.
AMANDA VANSTONE; THE PERSECUTION OF PELL IS A DISGRACE
Former Liberal Minister Amanda Vanstone: "The
media frenzy surrounding Cardinal George Pell is the lowest point in
civil discourse in my lifetime... What we are seeing is no better than a
lynch mob from the dark ages." George Pell: “I’m hanging in there.’’
And now police doubt they even have a case against him.
Apparently we aren't all equal in the eyes of the law and due process is only given to some cases depending on who you know. the fact that there is such a vigorous struggle by Conservatives not to process Pell in the same way anyone else is smells of bias that goes further than just opinion and commentary. It seems however the Police and the DPP are doing their job according to Hoyles where as the victims of child abuse and their parents aren't. Anthony Foster wasn't being listened to for more than 20 years Pell offered to buy him off for $50k with a threatening caveat attached. So why is he the victim in this case rather than just the alleged. He's not being raped.
PRESS COUNCIL APPOINTS GETUP ACTIVIST TO POLICE MEDIA
Sinister. The Australian Press Council has
appointed as its deputy chair a Leftist activist to police the media:
"Carla McGrath [has] a strong advocacy background across organisations
including ... GetUp, the National Congress of Australia’s First
Peoples..." The Australian rightly says it won't accept her rulings.
Bolt was whinging about the Press Council last year
as well. He's a man with few qualifications and limited experience and he's complaining about a well and broadly experienced appointee which as usual Bolt doesn't take into account. He chooses to focus on only one aspect of McGrath's experience. Quietly however the fact she is indigenous might just gnaw at Bolt as well. Apart from this it's not as if she's taking over the Council or can't be professional and objective which of course Bolt is incapable of being. If she'd been a member of the IPA Bolt would be lauding her and putting rose petals no tulip petals on her pillow.
Imagine if all we could do was focus on the fact that Bolt once worked for the Labor Party and ask how on earth could he be believed in pursuing the conservative cause with any honesty? Or the fact that he has no qualifications so how on earth could he ever produce a reasoned argument. He can't! We could concentrate on the fact he sucked his way to the top and never proved he earned the platform given him by News Corp and we'd be close to the truth. My question to the Press Council is however, how long will the Council allow Andrew Bolt and News Corp to set about destroying the media industry in Australia no the English speaking world with their sale of false product, of opinion and commentary dressed as news. The fake news industry has destroyed the trust once given the press. Thank god for the ABC.
No your not being oppressed Bolt when another group gains the rights that you've always had. You are being liberated from your fear of loss. Shireen Morris understands it as an indigenous Australian and as a woman. You on the other hand have no idea what she's even talking about. But then you were socialized by parents from Aalsmeer which goes a long way explaining who you are.
The only idiocy Bolt's term is Bolt himself. The economics of self interest which has been Bolt's central argument has come to bite him on the ass. The only area globally where there has been job acceleration and massive growth has been in Clean Energy and Renewables. The only area where there has been a massive growth in investment has in been Clean Energy and and it's technologies. The only area where there there has been massive acceleration in Science technology and innovation has been in the clean energy sector and the only area where there has been a commensurate drop in prices has been in clean power.
