Mark Latham's 'extraordinary' defence in Osman Faruqi defamation case struck out | Australia news | The Guardian
Did Mark Latham get advice from Andrew Bolt?Faruqi, a former editor of pop culture site Junkee and a former Greens candidate, launched his libel action last year after the former leader of the Labor party accused him of “aiding and abetting Islamic terrorism” and fostering “anti-white racism in Australia”.
But Justice Michael Wigney on Thursday rejected Latham’s 76-page defence and ordered him to “start from scratch” in trying to justify comments about Faruqi in a video on the Outsiders TV program last year called “The Rise of Anti-White Racism and Terrorist Plots in Australia”.

DAISY COUSENS: JULIA BANKS LET DOWN WOMEN
Daisy Cousens says Liberal MP Julia Banks has let down women by quitting Parliament as an alleged victim of bullying. From The Bolt Report.

What an ignorant rant." Andrew Bolt is quite right and the ignorance is his. He's acting like a Sgt at arms for a biker gang smashing and lashing out at any opposition in sight. It's what Bolt calls civilised debate.
Bolt actually sounds like Dutton laughing out loud with Abbott with an embarrassed Morrison standing by trying to tell the hoons the boom is on. $5Billion of Foreign Aid is spent on Asylum Seekers at Manus and Nauru and stopping boats it's not being spent on assisting Samoa.
Bolt clearly makes out the Pacific is not our responsibility even symbolically is it in any sense "we". But the only "we" in his and the minds of conservatives is the US and UK and "we" will contribute t willingly to make contributions of any size to appease and please them even when they have been proven to be of no use. Jump, how high is Bolt's favoured relationship with the US and obviously because he works for an American, Rupert Murdoch.
"First, no cuts we make would help those islands. We are too small to make any noticeable difference. Indeed, the deeper cuts we make, the poorer we are and the less money we have left for handouts to Samoa."Bolt
Bolt's own media stable contradicts what it is he is saying Climate change: Pacific Island nations are sinking away - News.com.au.
As for the NZ researchers, Bolt turns to make his point that Pacific islands are growing they emphasize "The Auckland team says climate change remains one of the major threats to low-lying island nations." something Bolt judiciously avoids saying along with the fact that only some islands are growing. Further, if the rate of sea rise continues to accelerate the Islands will be suffering directly from the impact of Climate Change.
Indicates "some" islands have grown and points to Bolt's selective use of that data and not applying the descriptive "some" in his over-eager generalisations to prove he's scientifically astute and correct when arriving at the conclusion the islands aren't sinking. He simply applies this as a strategy to justify his conclusion that science is really with him when it's not. "Alarmists keep smearing sceptics as "deniers". But they are the deniers they describe: the real deniers of the evidence." Bolt
It is safe to say that more Samoans have died from obesity than from man-made global warming."
Bolt's trying to shut the PM of Samoa down by abuse. First calling him "obese" and therefore has no right to talk about Climate Change particularly when the likelihood of Climate Change won't be the cause of their death.
Doesn't that sound an argument abuse and not reason simply saying "shut up" with some weird form of failed logic.
The average age of death of a male Australian is 85 and most have and will die before 85. Ergo why the "F--k" worry about Climate Change, shut up. Anyone not facing the risk of death by Climate Change should simply ignore it.
Bolt is such a grand thinker isn't he saying put a bag over it and don't think of the long-term future and especially change. Isn't that the essence of the conservative message stop thinking.
