LISA WILKINSON A FIGHTER FOR EQUAL PAY? ASK WALEED
Column Lisa Wilkinson is hailed as a crusader for equal pay because she quit Channel 9 for getting less than Today co-host Karl Stefanovic. But hang on: snapped up by Channel 10 for The Project, she’ll now be paid three times more than her new co-host Waleed Aly. Same job, different pay. And that's just the start of this farce.
"How about those unsung heroes who work long hours, on their feet all day or night, in un-glamorous and unflattering uniforms as they tend to every need of our sick and injured family members in hospitals? Our nurses sometimes bear the brunt of abuse from patients or their families, spend so much of their lives cleaning, dressing and patching up the damage people do to themselves and again forfeit much of their family time, in order to serve the community. All for roughly $40 an hour for a Registered Nurse, less for an Enrolled Nurse."

ABC SIDES WITH CLINTON AGAINST WOMEN
Column Watching the ABC crawl to Hillary Clinton this week, I saw how even feminists can enable sex predators like Harvey Weinstein. I thought one lesson from Weinstein, accused of sexually assaulting dozens of actors, was clear. Don’t ignore powerless women. But the ABC’s Four Corners on Monday backed Hillary Clinton against her husband's accusers.
. However not so silent is Bolt's favorite Breitbart radio: Women are using #MeToo to share their stories of sexual harassment as a "status symbol"

ONLY TYRANTS CAN GIVE A 3.5 HOUR SPEECH
It is a sure sign of a tyrant, showing no concern for his audience and confident that none will dare walk out or tell him to stop: "Xi Jinping ... [tested] his comrades’ eyelids – and their bladders – with a three-and-a-half hour, 65-page sermon in which he outlined his brave new vision for the Communist party, and the world." China has a new Mao.
Histories Modern miracle is China saved 1 bill people from starvation and has become the economic engine of the world in less than70 years.China is assisting 3rd world nations development when others the UK, USA did little more than impoverishing them in their traditional resources grab. One simply has to ask who is saving the LNP's economic bacon at the moment that Bolt ridicules. The man's suits are made in China for heaven's sake. The Bolt Report is little more than an hour editorial by Andrew Bolt and he's complaining about a speech that will influence the direction of 1 billion people for the next 5 years
Andrew Bolt went to Calcutta once and he fled he had dreams of being a freelance journalist who turned out to be little more than Don Quixote. Well he can go to China and note the difference.
GETUP! A PRO-LABOR SHILL? I AM SHOCKED
And until then, none of us suspected a thing, of course: "GetUp! has appointed two new directors with strong Labor ties, fuelling claims by the Coalition that the group is a party “front” that cannot be treated under electoral laws as an independent campaign organisation on community issues."

Amusing the Pro - Conservative Abbott corporate Shill News Corp aligned with the IPA calling out GetUp as a Shill for Labor. Bolt totally avoids the means and method of funding both direct and indirect. News Corp Australia is supported by News Corp USA with it's access to global international conservative funding and he's shocked at the mom and pop support Getup gets. Bolt gets more support than GetUP
WILKIE MUST GO IF HIS CLAIMS ARE FALSE
Terry McCrann on MP Andrew Wilkie's claims that Crown Casino may have rigged pokie machines: "[This] should lead to his expulsion from parliament — if the major accusations of serious criminal acts cannot be substantiated." Wilkie admits he doesn't know if the claims are true, but at one stage investors were down $700 million.

SAVVA BLAMES ...YOU KNOW THE REST
Yet again Niki Savva blames the Turnbull Government's horror polls on ... Tony Abbott. But while she once dismissed Abbott as a nasty irrelevance, there's now a different tone: "Abbott is at heart a decent person... If Abbott employed his cut-through talents to help rather than hurt his colleagues as he does now, all sorts of rewards could follow."

VICTORIANS SLEEPWALK TO EUTHANASIA: KILLING PEOPLE TO STOP THEM DYING
A fine piece by John Ferguson on Victoria's Parliament moving to allow euthanasia with little debate: "Victorians are sleep walking towards euthanasia... They are generally tired of the same sex marriage debate, the 'no' campaign has been really, really poor and Labor has spun the hell out of the issue." And the churches are broken.
VICTORIA NOW NEEDS TO IMPORT ELECTRICITY, WITH HAZELWOOD GONE
Today's figures from the Australian Energy Market Operator show Victoria short of electricity and with the country's highest power prices. It's relying on the wind blowing well in South Australia. And we're not yet into summer. That's what things look like when you've just drive a huge coal-fired power station like Hazelwood out of business.

FRENCH BACK OFF ON $50BN SUBS DESIGN
France, an unreliable arms supplier, now says it might not include the cutting-edge propulsion system in the $50 billion of submarines ordered by Malcolm Turnbull: "The ultra-quiet technology was a key selling point for the French design... Jean-Michel Billig, Executive Director of Naval Group, ... agreed that propeller technology might be used."
