 “They’d been sobbing in shock and disgust at the threats and intimidation they’d been subjected to by the goons and knuckledraggers trying to gather the signatures on Dutton’s behalf.
“One of them purports to be a conservative family man of traditional Christian values. To those women now, he is just a pig.”
Dumped Minister for Small and Family Business, Craig Laundy, also spoke of the intimidation used by Dutton’s camp in an interview with 2GB.
“Some of the behaviour this week… I’ve had one female senator and two female members of the house when it came to the letter – the petition, that was physically stood over to sign it, and they refused. That sort of intimidation and bullying is something you can actually file a claim against.”

Comments
“This is a Frankenstein’s monster of a government. It has the face of the member for Wentworth, the policies of the member for Warringah and it has the cold, shrivelled soul of the member for Dickson.” 

“… in its current state, the Liberal Party cannot even organise an assassination, let alone run the country,” Catherine McGregor carps in Fairfax, 

"Tuesday’s botched right-wing coup is a colossal cock-up. It sets in train a farcical series of miscalculations, aided and abetted by Murdoch’s media, Australian politics king-maker supreme. And by its own, internal fifth column."
"
A divided, dysfunctional, party musters all its sublime ineptitude to transform chaos into catastrophe. Above all, as David Marr argues, the fiasco reveals an atavistic right wing desperate to wrest control of a party it doesn’t reflect.

  The two-party preferred split showed a slim two-point gap of 51/49 in favour of Labor a fortnight ago. Now it’s blown out by twelve points. Labor now leads 56/44.

  

SKY SOARS. NO WONDER ABC SHRIEKS

Thanks to the viewers who last week flocked to Sky News to follow what was really going on in Canberra. Our ratings continue to soar to new highs, despite viewers having to pay to watch. No wonder the ABC has stepped up its shrieking hate-campaign against us. We expose their bias and better inform our audience.

Hyperbole Bolt's literally manic today trying to justify his existence but can't really seem to find a reason. Just follow the bouncing posts and all becomes weird.
 The proof is in the pudding they say? Sure is, Sky Soars!! Off, however, a small base, where the majority of its viewers are Turnbull supporters and the very audience tuned in for a laugh on the left. All are curious to watch how Sky tackles the reality of failure once again and their predictions flop. Self-promotion is hardly a success and lets' face it one sandwich doesn't make a picnic. Note whose doing the figures are the ones bragging and becomes all pie in the Sky with nothing to compare.
So what is Bolt bragging about?
7 states a country of 24 million people Bolt says he broke a record 100,000 viewers and he's calling that an average of 2 nights in 2018. The real average is closer to half that 40K if not less. So given he's won no recruits to his cause and Sky has lost sponsors this week it's a bit of a Pyrrhic victory, isn't it? 
"Last week’s results follow the announcement in July that Sky News had achieved highest half-yearly ratings on record, now reaching more than one million Australians every week on Foxtel alone. With strong audience gains across its weeknight evening and new Sunday evening schedule, Sky News is now one of the leading channels on subscription television."Bolt
1 mill per wk /143k per night/ 6 programs 24k /7 states 3k viewers a night/ and Bolt is crowing. The Project does approx 800k or X270 times more than Andrew Bolt. Love to see the P/L statement on the Bolt Report. So infact nobody really watches Andrew Bolt however News Corp as a corporation is a juggernaut of factless or selectively chosen facts that boosts ideologically spin.
Wonder what the Trust Ratings are given to Sky and the ABC? Moreover the trust ratings of Bolt's viewers. We are fully aware Bolt doesn't care that's on the public record.

 

MORRISON DIVIDES AND CONQUERS CONSERVATIVES

Column Scott Morrison divided and conquered the conservatives in choosing a new ministry. The Prime Minister yesterday sacked, snubbed or cut down to size key conservative rivals - Tony Abbott, Peter Dutton, Michael Sukkar. But his masterstroke was to promote other conservatives to fix exactly the issues Abbott and Dutton had campaigned on.

PAYWALL

It seems Morrison is a genius. Well, he was yesterday according to Bolt who was close to forgiving him for turning on Abbott. Because according to Andrew Bolt he's strengthened the Conservatives the true members of the Liberal Party who are back to 11%. Obviously, Bolt had a mental spit trying to spin the un-spinable. Abbott wasn't the only loser here all those that revealed themselves on the list of 43 are losers and it shows today's poll 56/44 against in the electorate's opinion which of course they never gave a stuff about in the first place.
 Coal -Fired power stations, Climate denial are these the policies that have been achieved and put back on the agenda? In cloud cuckoo la, la land maybe but not in this country after that Clayton's Coup

Yesterday Andrew Bolt was trying to Party as if it was 2013. He sounded as if he was twerking.



 

MORRISON DIVIDES CONSERVATIVES, CONQUERS

Column Yes, Scott Morrison on Sunday sacked, snubbed or cut down to size key conservative rivals -  Tony Abbott, Peter Dutton and Michael Sukkar. But Morrison’s masterstroke was to promote other conservatives to fix exactly the issues Abbott and Dutton had campaigned on - immigration, electricity and Catholic school funding. 

21m

 Here we have Bolt repeating yesterdays hypocrisy for the Delcons trying to spin a win and say Morrison has jumped to the Right when Abbott has said yet again he's now jumped to left and will behave. Right or Left the fact remains Abbott lost and if Abbott lost the Liberal Party has stayed where it was and it simply dumped Turnbull. While the defectors ran to the right for a second they have all moved back to the left in particular Corman and the other two who made up the 43 that brought on the spill. Bolt Abbott and Dutton won't budge them now and as far as the Liberal Party are concerned don't exist. Even though Abbott has said he's moving left and will line up behind Morrison but then he can't be believed at any time and we have seen that.

OOPS!! Today's byline

WE HAVE NOT YET BEGUN TO FIGHT

Column The worst that conservative Liberal MPs could do for themselves, or Scott Morrison, is to now stop fighting for the policy changes they demanded from Malcolm Turnbull. They would make liars of themselves and a loser of Morrison.

Threat

It seems Bolt's under Murdoch Media instructions to keep beating the drums of war again. He almost slipped and said the Abbottians had won yesterday and was on the verge of praising Morrison. It seems he's been advised that this wasn't the time to flip.  Today's Bolt "BOY, am I under pressure to become a hypocrite for Scott Morrison, our accidental new Prime Minister. " Yesterday's Bolt "But Morrison’s masterstroke was to promote other conservatives, all team players, to fix exactly the issues Abbott and Dutton had campaigned on." suggesting or trying to suggest Morrison was always a plant and can now be forgiven. Somebody has told Bolt to pull his dumb head in I wonder which of the knuckle draggers it was? Bolt will never admit his stupidity of course.

CANBERRA IN FLAMES, BORDER BREACHED

A metaphor. As the Liberal Government brawled, a boat finally made it here: "A desperate  search is underway for at least 20 suspected illegal immigrants on the run in the dense rainforest after a foreign fishing boat ran aground north of Cairns."

Barbarians are back
Bolt's knockout punch? No, how can he even land that on Morrisson the architect of the Liberal's Asylum Seeker Policy? He must be trying to boost Morrison. Imagine if Abbott weren't still on the backbench.

ON THE ABBOTTABBOTTABBOTT HYSTERICS

Chris Mitchell: "Why did so few in the... press gallery see the disunity within the Liberal Party...? Why were so many journalists prepared to blame former prime minister Tony Abbott when the problem is clearly a... split between conservatives and moderates, a split the News Corp papers and Sky News have been discussing for more than a year?"

Worried that nobody gives a fuck about Abbott
When News Corp turns Abbott and themselves into the victims of the Liberal Party it suggests not only their lack of wisdom or want of insight but their lack foresight in the planning of this coup. It only revealed the panic for the time which was coming to an end with Turnbull polling so well.
Here even News Corp is too shy to say their carping started the moment Abbott lost his leadership so overwhelmingly. It left 8-10 disgruntled conservatives to plot 8-10 who wasn't dealt with immediately. Murdoch Media, 2GB and others to set the stage with their Greek chorus of lament that the Australian LNP government was divided by an 11% rebel group.
The joke the ABC was "discussing" it the cabal of MSM media were "promoting" it and here Mitchell still spins the ideas of a split when in fact it was a sliver of conservatives
" Why were so many journalists prepared to blame former prime minister Tony Abbott when the problem is clearly a long-festering split between conservatives and moderates, a split the News Corp papers and Sky News have been discussing for more than a year?" Mitchell
What it proves is that you don't have to be "right" at News Corp just have to press that "opinion" trouble is with opinions everyone got one like arseholes. They are private and entitled but there are also facts that are publicly owned and which News Corp either avoids or denies with only one consequence in mind the best for their bottom line, not Australia's

TAYLOR CAN'T STOP FIGHTING "CLIMATE RELIGION"

New Energy Minister Angus Taylor can't back down now if he wants to save Liberal seats: "Taylor...  signals a vital break from Malcolm Turnbull’s balancing act between emissions reduction and reliable and cheap power... Mr Taylor, a former Rhodes scholar, (in 2014)  ridiculed 'the new climate religion’ and the shift to renewable energy."

Threat

The bovver boy's club is handing out threats already pushing IPA demands and equating Science as just another Religion. Bolt certainly makes the sounds like a knuckle-dragging regressive who will keep repeating that Neanderthal slogan whenever he can.  This coup has lost Liberal Seats Bolt. The conservatives lost, Black Knight, your threats aren't just hollow they are ridiculous and you're without clothes. But yes we know you have that News Corp megaphone.
 However, hasn't Bolt seen the numbers 70% of Australians want something progressive to be done on Climate Change and 60% among Liberals do too. Is Bolt threatening Taylor to swim against the rip or drown? Yep, Bolt's yelling "if you don't swim against the rip you'll drown"It appears this coup wasn't a referendum on policy at all, was it? The Monkey Pod Room is still there and it's not advice they are offering.

NO ELECTRICITY FOR YOU

This is approaching a Third-World electricity supply. Renee Viellaris: "On Saturday two states were cut off from the national electricity market as a result of transmission line outages... It forced Southern states to shed more than 100 megawatts of industrial load, with the regulator ordering large industrial sites to stop using electricity."

27m

Threat

Now Bolt shows us just how the organ grinders monkey performs. India is a third world country and has along with their investors gone green. Adani is trying to dump it's state of the art coal-fired power station for 10 cents because it's bleeding money and he's heavily investing in Solar Power. India's output of electricity is expanding and reaching across rural India. Yet Bolt promotes the reverse myth and instead of renewables increasing supply it's reducing it in the third world. Well, wouldn't we wish the same was happening here?

The fact is Bolt is trying to but failing to boost paranoia here as were the Liberal Party who by the way seem strapped for cash given the stance they have taken when 70% of Australians don't agree with their policies. Bolt is left with threats when he has no support from the investment sector, business sector, science, and the electorate. When deserted the Deacons are left threat and media moguls chasing a dollar.

WATCH THE ABC RAGE AT THE FALL OF THEIR PM

The ABC cheered the coup against the 28th Prime Minister,  conservative Tony Abbott. But the ABC is incensed by the coup against the 29th, the Labor-lite Malcolm Turnbull. Watch and marvel at the rage:

 Rage

Whack-a-Mole Bolt focuses on the ABC more than hypocritical of those that have no intention of unity but only dominance.

ABC'S PARANOIA

I can't understand a couple of the arguments pushed by the ABC. How, when we're supposed to have few viewers, did Sky News topple Malcolm Turnbull? How did Tony Abbott, when's he's allegedly a marginal and hated figure, get 45 Liberal MPs to get rid of Turnbull? It makes so little sense, yet this paranoia passes for analysis on the ABC.

7m
No Paranoia

How does Andrew Bolt create waves like mayhem of a single Hell's Angel simply because he's a member of a club a club who for whatever reason promotes a "Wall of Sound" conspiratorial or not for money? It's that media sound that has an established pattern as does crime for a gang of bikers. It's no longer news but opinion facts not analysed but selectively chosen for the support of those with the wealth of the nation.

 The ABC, our ABC, doesn't and is the only MSM media source that's free to concentrate and analyse the facts as presented and question the narratives proffered by the organ grinders monkeys. Paranoia is the least of their concerns but is very much the part of News Corp's false messaging as it is 2GB' and others.

NEWSPOLL: LIBERALS DOWN TO 44-56

Malcolm Turnbull did indeed tear down the temple. Last week's Ipsos poll had the Liberals fall to 45 per cent to Labor's 55. Then came Turnbull's bloody last stand, and Newspoll now has the Liberals at just 44 per cent to Labor's 56.

15m

The polls showed Turnbull was closing the gap any mention of that by Bolt? 51/49. That seemed to have freaked the MonkeyPod Room and forced their move to an all-out attack to drag the house down or win. well, we know the brilliance of that move. If an election were held today would Tony Abbott be appointed Opposition Leader?
