So I congratulate NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian for forcing the reactionaries who run Australia’s most beautiful building to use it for the purpose for which it was clearly intended.
As in, you know, advertising. Andrew Bolt
Australian National icons should all be reduced to advertising sites for only those that can afford to pay for them of course. The Bolt Report could be screened on the Opera House to show what it is Australia really represents. A billboard of Bolt's free to hate messages. The promotion of Milo's forthcoming tour."
"The only annoying thing about the NSW Government’s order to use the Sydney Opera House’s sails to promote gambling is that it took so long to use our national monuments in this sharp way." Bolt
The only problem about this post is it's a
PAYWALL without access to the column it, in fact, could lead anywhere
even to advertising screened on our Shrine, Uluru, etc
" And let’s think creatively about Parliament House. Now that they’ve fenced off the lawn area, we could spray paint ads on the grass, thereby making great inroads into the deficit. If we get rid of those silly regulations about props, then MPs could wear billboards in the House, announcing which major corporation was sponsoring them." Rossleigh

Conservatives need to construct a "fear" whenever elections approach and it seems it needs a new fear each time. Conservatives in America and Australia know they have lost the old arguments on Immigration The "wall" certainly no longer puts Trump on the front foot and only makes him look a loser. Russia is Trump's ally in personal business and politics as is Nth Korea any backward move there would make Trump look a bigger fool than he already is. News Corp needs a united front on a subject that can be spread worldwide and their natural and obvious bunny this time around its China. They are a military, hacking and spy threat to everything American. America is after all the world's military leader with bases in 159 countries. The worlds biggest hacker never dismantled even after being outed by Snowden. Also the most active spy organization in the world. Well, if China isn't the biggest threat then they need to be made everything that represents a Republican political boost in the US domestic polls.
These things don't arise in a vacuum given the Mid Term Elections are next month. Trump needs a political ploy and we do here in Australia as well it will be heavily promoted not reported in News Corp as news in the Anglosphere because on the economy of scale it's cheaper media, just watch. However, it's not the cheapest social cost which one way or another we will all pay for. You won't see the banks on the front page of Murdoch media.
Diplomacy its language has been revolutionised and turned 180 degrees to hate speech by Trump to drive rationality and reasoned analysis out of our lives and have it replaced by political fearmongering instead. When Government Media and Industry are aligned it's easy to blame China or anyone else just as easy as turning the Opera House into a billboard and calling that normal and a benefit for all. Soon the roof of the Opera House could be owned by Murdoch too.
Follow the bouncing ball and all the way with the USA below

Bolt's banner fails to mention that "the Left" he's referring to is the women of America.
But that reality would be simply too much of an admission for a misogynist whose pro-Trump because he works for Murdoch. What is amusing is that Trump's approval rating "soared" to 40% which suggests it hardly took off at all.
Straight from Murdoch's America to Australia we are being Americanised rather than provided with independent information why? The division provides the minority in power with a safety valve of distraction away from economic determinism which is really the fundamental uniting force in people's lives.
KAVANAUGH'S HATERS ARE DERANGED
Good God, what does this say about the savagery and unreason of the Left? From a report on a protest against Brett Kavanaugh: "Protesters — mostly women — broke through a police line and barged to the [Supreme] Court's chamber, where they proceeded to wail, gnash teeth, and pound at the doors while Kavanaugh was being sworn in inside."
Bolt blind as a bat fails to believe, no fails to see that the "left" he speaks of are "mostly women" are in fact made up of those that once voted for Trump and now won't ever again. The left is not groupthink, in this case, it's quite the opposite. It's not Cultural Marxism either it's a recognition that the inquiry into Kavanaugh was fixed and it it was representative of Conservative group think and about the reaffirmation of the position of women in American society as secondary and below that of men. Trump can't soar carrying that dead weight.
As for "derange" that means disconnected from reality. The very nature of a propagandist like Andrew Bolt is the need to be disconnected from reality because his business is to insist on an alternative.
KITCHING AND THE RISE OF CONSERVATIVE LABOR
Good idea, not least because the working class is quite conservative: "Labor senator Kimberley Kitching — a close ally and friend of Bill Shorten — is moving to create a bipartisan parliamentary group that will defend 'Judeo-Christian' and 'Western-liberal democratic' values as... a new style of social conservative within the Labor Party."
According to Andrew Bolt, it's small l Liberals the majority in the Liberal Party who are traitors because they threaten Conservative politics with their readiness to embrace bipartisan centrist politics. However, Bolt's mate Kitching is an ALP hero because of her readiness to embrace bipartisan centrist politics. The man spins and doesn't even need external wind.
