 America hits peak anti-intellectualism: Majority of Republicans now think college is bad - Salon.com

Republicans say no to college: It's the only institution viewed in more sharply partisan terms than the media. How well does this apply to Andrew Bolt who declares our cultural institutions nests of Left wing  activism. The Arts, Universities, Media, Immigration, Public Service etc need to be changed. They aren't according to Bolt places of diverse perspectives in a democracy but breeding grounds for subversives. They aren't places of enlightenment. Humanities, the Sciences, no discipline escapes his attention. In Bolt's view our Institutions need vetting and sorting of who people by who you vote for the very opposite of the privacy we give  the ballot box. It's just why he makes  religion people practice an excuse as well. Muslims are only 3% of Australia but command 75 % of Bolt's attention much the same as the Jews did in Germany during WW2. In other words he has very Gobellian approach to our  ideas and values and how they need to be enforced in our institutions.
Bolt runs a very conservative template over every aspect of our lives and with it distracts us from the serious divide  that most cripples us and that's not just between the have's and have not's but the historic accumulation and concentration of the inherited ownership of property, the means of the country's production and it's relationship to power and the influence to distract attention away from the material and systemic economic reality of our lives. It's why the Foxification of Australian media is a Conservative priority over and above  any exploration of data and information. Opinion and commentary are neither broad nor diverse but narrow and single minded. It's why the ABC and all our Cultural institutions that encourage thinking, analysis, scientific method of data collection need to be declared dangerous. Bolt would if he could burn the books,silence the questions and uniform the children for a hopeful new rise of Fascism. However they haven't a charismatic hero.

A Decade On, The Fraud Of The NT Intervention Is Exposed - New Matilda

Michael Brull has written extensively on the Northern Territory intervention. A decade after it was launched, it’s time for another look. On June 21, 2007, the Intervention in the Northern Territory was launched by the government of John Howard. 10 years on, I think it is important to re-establish a few points about it. "Firstly, the pretexts on which it was launched were all demonstrably fraudulent. Secondly, the grounds on which it was justified are also all demonstrably false."
Today Bolt continues to seek out selective examples from which to generalize and legitimize the Stealing of Children.

 

HANDS OFF OUR CARS, WARMISTS

First our politicians turned electricity into a luxury.  When will the Turnbull government   call off this global warming crusade that’s punishing the poor without helping the planet?  Now it's  figuring ways to make us buy cars that emit less of the gases we’re told heat the world - but it's all pain for no climate gain.

  Self-interest absolutely. 1) We have no car industry Abbott made sure of that did we hear Bolt complain not at all.  The Abbott/hockey budget declared "the poor don't drive cars". It appears they do and they are new cars and imported ones at that. 2) The major manufacturers GMH, Volvo, Toyota are all producing either hybrids or electric cars which are fast becoming the world's best sellers.  China and India are planning a transition away from fossil fuels as well. Business and finance are all investing in them. Bolt seems to find this world trend punishment park for the poor. The Dutch run their public transport trains and buses on electricity. You never hear any of this from Bolt he finds it an opportune moment to become an alarmist when businesses, consumers worldwide are in transition way ahead of Australia in clean energy transport and in broadband connectivity. How far behind does Australia have to fall with Conservatives demanding Australia to stop progressing?

GONSKI ADMITTED: HE WASN'T THE MAN TO LEAD TURNBULL REVIEW

The Turnbull Government asked David Gonski, a mate of the Prime Minister, to head a review into school standards. But three years ago Gonski admitted this about any such review: "A businessperson like me would not have been the best choice to chair it.’’

The question that needs to be addressed that isn't even raised by Bolt is why has Australia fallen to 39th in the OECD out of 40 counties all since Abbott took control and went back on his promise that there'd be no cuts to education. The greatest slide backwards stalled changes put in place by Julia Gillard. That is the legacy delivered by Mr Nope Nope Nope.
