TURNBULL IS A COWARD

Malcolm Turnbull is refusing to call a party room meeting to discuss the leadership, even though 25 Liberals have reportedly signed a petition demanding one. Turnbull claims a majority of MPs, 43, is needed for a special meeting, but that's false. A majority is needed for a spill motion, not a meeting. He is simply too scared to let MPs have a say.

DUTTON GOOD; ABBOTT BETTER

Column Here's Peter Dutton’s first problem: as prime minister, he’d still be hated for being a Tony Abbott substitute when he doesn’t have Abbott’s strengths. He is actually the conservative the divided Liberals could live with, but not the best they could have. Too many Liberal MPs hate Abbott for what he is: the party’s most potent conservative.

 How predictable of Andrew Bolt to produce such linguistically powerful banner "me Tarzan; you Jane" banner for describing Tony Abbott. Bolt wouldn't have even passed Dutton's English test.

Bolt's been playing tag team revenge and whack-a-mole for Abbott for years. The mole's in the Liberal Party have been the usual suspects, Turnbull, Pine, Morrison and Bishop while the Gollum Tony held back promising loyalty from the backbench. He raised his head when necessary to undermine, bait and snipe on occasions to remind us he was still there. Today's mole is Peter Dutton a reminder that he's not cut out for the top job either as if the incompetent potato head needs reminding of his place in the scheme of things. The undertow is so obvious to the right that Abbott, News Corp and the IPA are all there backs to prize the throne of PM challenging Australia. 

  A sound of " Dutton Good; Abbott Better ringing out from the ape with the mike. The slogan once masked as opinion is now a demand. It sounds like a four-word copy of Tony Abbott's three-word Neanderthal slogans of the past. Remember "Ditch the Bitch".  Is it necessary? Can you imagine Dutton in red speedos or lycra? He simply doesn't even have that boxers strut, of course, he's not News Corp's or Bolt's dog.  Andrew Bolt couldn't have dreamed up a banner as obviously ape-ish as this, could he?. But then if you give it some thought as a near 60-year-old who actually regards our younger generation of Australians as growing up to be opinionated know-nothings he's a monty to have coined such a dad joke of a banner. 

Why is it that this self-proclaimed moderator of Australia's majority of thought even expect the Nation is listening. Guess it's not just Bolt alone putting out the message it's News Corp, 2GB and others like the IPA standing up. He just happens to be a tool of a financially powerful juggernaut, the whale of the media industry News Corp part of a cabal chasing to protect what they believe is the limited pool of sponsored money, privileged to them alone. Money which isn't equally distributed or accessed by ordinary Australians, an inequality reflected in an increasingly accelerated widening wealth and income gaps in Australia over the past decade. They are MSM media monkey's dancing, competing for the approval of the few that hold access to dollars. Andrew Bolt is just their crier paid peanuts to perform their scripts written to sell a Peter Foster product disconnected from reality. They are bringing Trumpland to Oz. The closest MSM org to oppose them is the ABC, our ABC  while making a difference it is a not all that different shackled by manners and statutory regulations to be polite and balanced but it remains a hell of a lot more trusted when it comes to revealing the truth.

The ABC, unlike Andrew Bolt, doesn't play the same tune night after night selling a narrative. It is different because it questions all narratives being delivered. The era of three-word slogans is on it's way back, nope nope nope is on it's way back, Ditch the Bitch, and Chicken Little alarm will darken our skies and fear and emergency will again become the order of the day simply because ultra -conservatives have no other songbook to play from. Whatever it takes, is being reraised while government service, the passing of bills, will be on the backburner and about to be buried yet again. Australia is locked into an Anglo-Western and white global putsch and we will become the 51rst State of the USA or the third nation in Murdoch's Anglosphere of Europhile influence. We don't need a plebiscite, opinion polls now we need an ELECTION!!

 

TWO MORE MINISTERS RESIGN

Leadership hopefuls Greg Hunt and Angus Taylor and other ministers were humiliated by voting for Peter Dutton but then pledging loyalty to Malcolm Turnbull to keep their jobs. More spine from  Michael Sukkar and Zed Seselja: "Two ministers have quit Malcolm Turnbull’s government and will not be talked into staying."

Bolt beating the News Corp drum is he the camp follower dancing in front of the parade or lagging behind?

 

DUTTON DEMANDS ANOTHER VOTE. TURNBULL STALLS

Peter Dutton has told Malcolm Turnbull he wants another party-room meeting at 9am to challenge for the leadership. (Dutton fears he'll lose if he waits.) Turnbull is refusing until Dutton gets a majority of MPs to sign a petition - and out themselves. (Turnbull fears he loses if he agrees.) Chaos.

LIBERAL WOMEN ARE PASSENGERS

The Liberals have a women problem. Malcolm Turnbull’s leadership was shattered when 13 Coalition MPs threatened to vote in parliament against his latest global-warming scheme. Not one of those 13 was a woman. But almost none  of the 21 female Liberal MPs spoke up for Turnbull, either. Most were passengers as men fought for the steering wheel.

Mole-Clubber Bolt roars at the Liberal women passengers on a gravy train need to get off even Feverenti-Welles gets no credit for resigning. Bolt has always despised her.

Sarah Henderson shows Bolt up for who he represents when

Sarah Henderson speaks on 'reward for an act of treachery'

We mentioned earlier that Victorian Liberal Sarah Henderson has said she was offered a ministerial position if she threw her support behind Peter Dutton.

Principle before sides

 "Australians have had enough of the rotating chairs of prime ministers, and when this started to break out a couple of days ago, I just thought, 'Right, what is my job?', and my job is stand up for the people I represent, the people of Corangamite."Henderson
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

UHLMANN SMEARS SKY

Is Uhlmann talking about the campaign by Fairfax and the ABC to destroy Prime Minister Tony Abbott or a different one? And isn't he married to a Labor MP?

Typical Bolt he now Sky chief media ape wanting to grab the attention for himself clubbing at anyone that might tarnish his self-constructed image as the up and coming media leader in this Drama. "Fairfax Bad; Me Good". 

Bolt once worked for the ALP was on the ABC has worked for the ABC but that's negative for Uhlmann but not for him it seems.

CORMANN, FIFIELD, CASH ALL ABANDON TURNBULL

Turnbull alone Turnbull supporters Matthias Cormann, Mitch Fifield and Michaelia Cash have all resigned as ministers, and demand that Malcolm Turnbull call a party room meeting. They say he does not have the support of his party any more. That's it for Turnbull.

PRIME MINISTER PETER DUTTON

Peter Dutton will be Prime Minister today. The Turnbull era is over. The Liberals once again have a conservative leader.

20m

It doesn't matter how you add it up they are an extremely ugly bunch of non-representative Australians ever since Tony Abbott became opposition leader in 2009. They haven't served this country well only themselves and internal chaos has been their and in-fighting their main characteristic. They have charged the highest fees for no service on the planet and to say otherwise is to continue the game of liar's poker Australians have been subjected to. However, it's not all over yet and as hinted already by Andrew Bolt Tony Abbott will step in to take over and return us to the darkest days of Australian politics. The question remains when and where will the next wars begin both domestically and beyond our borders?

Labour is trying to refer Dutton to the High Court

Manager of Opposition Business Tony Burke, in the House of Representatives, is trying to refer Peter Dutton to the High Court (sitting as the Court of Disputed Returns).

This relates to his family trust interest in childcare centres in Brisbane, which might have benefited from Government decisions made around childcare industry subsidies and payments.

A division is required before this goes through. There aren't many MPs in the chamber at the moment. The bells are ringing.

Vote fails - by one!

Labor managed 68 votes, the Coalition carrying the day with 69, clearing at least one pre-emptive strike against Peter Dutton.
So that means he won't be referred to the High Court over this issue. At least not today. Judging by the week we've had, honestly who knows what could happen tomorrow.

THE UTTERLY PREDICTABLE FALL OF MALCOLM TURNBULL

The Liberals should be ashamed by their disastrous Malcolm Turnbull experiment. They chose this man to lead them when they should have known it would end in just this terrible failure. This disaster was so predictable that even I predicted exactly this smash - and on this issue - on the day Turnbull knifed Abbott. Read and weep.

What a joke  "I told you so Bolt"  a continuity of crap "This disaster was so predictable that even I predicted exactly this smash - and on this issue - on the day Turnbull knifed Abbott"Bolt
No mention of what a weather vane he's been over the past 3 years swaying between Abbott being dead in the water a victim of self- confessed errors to a born-again leader not recognized. Can you really stand Bolt crass egocentricity? The man isn't seen in public too often because he knows he's welcome as a fart in an elevator. However, he's around like a hyena and will be now looking for the spoils he might garner as a camp follower. 2019 will be Australia's year to return to a fee for service executive government.

GUESS THE NEXT NEWSPOLL

What will the next Newspoll say? Place your tip here. Let's assume the poll comes out on Monday. And give two guesses: one if Turnbull is still there over the weekend, and the other if Dutton replaces him today. My own guess: Liberals 44 to Labor 56 with Turnbull, 45 to 55 without. But I wouldn't be surprised if it was much worse, either way.

SCOTT MORRISON TO STAND AGAINST DUTTON

If we all now agree that Malcolm Turnbull's fall was caused by the Liberals losing touching with their more conservative base, how is Scott Morrison a beeter solution than Peter Dutton? How does Morrison standing against Dutton make sense, given it will simply create a new fault line when the Liberals desperately need unity? He must be stopped.

1h231

"A beeter solution "? Whack-a-mole Bolt is feeling the pinch it seems the conservative base Bolt keeps banging on about isn't as solid as he makes it seems. He never really substantively defines it. We know within the Party it was the Monkey Pod room and a gang of ultra-conservative 8 that regularly met for lunch. We also know they are 10 or 11% of the Liberal Party.

Bolt also tells us he had a huge rating's surge at Sky but (off a small base) which he never defines. It turns out at its peak it might be 40k viewers nationally across 7 states when analysed it means 3-5k viewers out of 6 million in Victoria. Do the math, 40k out of a pop of 24 million. So are we to assume Bolt is the media unifier a lynchpin of the conservative base of Australia? Is he an indicator, a sage. informing us of what's going on? Hardly think so he's a News Corp lackey headbanger with no regard for Democracy the 10-15 mill voters only selling a seeming reality disconnected from truth and as disconnected as the current Liberal Party is from their responsibility to the electorate.

The Monkey Pod room of 10-12% has always been the millstone that's dragged the party backwards. They ensured under Abbott to have done the least for Australia have ensured Turnbull was to lead a party with the breaks on and will continue to do so whether Dutton or Abbott gain control. Bolt is simply a Murdoch headbanger spinning a product. He's is an agent for a fake product like Peter Foster's Baylin Tea. He's far from the best not highly regarded and is not true blue or even an integrated Australian.
