BANKS QUITS, LIBERAL FACE SPLIT
Julia Banks has quit the Morrison Government in revenge for the sacking of Malcolm Turnbull. The Liberal Left is now destroying the party, stacking the branches and sacking conservatives. Liberal conservatives must now either fight to reclaim their party - or form their own. My editorial on The Bolt Report.

John Howard is right there are people inside and out that would like to declare the Liberal party is split and Andrew Bolt is one of them. The Liberal Party according to Howard as said, not on the Bolt Report but on the ABC, is constituted by both small l Liberals and big L conservatives who resolve their issues by debate and arriving at a consensus of the majority and have always done so. Unfortunately, there is currently a minority that doesn't abide by Liberal Party values or rules and we know who they are. However, unlike Senator Bernardi haven't the balls to leave the party. Julia banks was slut-shamed bullied and harassed by some of these honourable conservative MP's so much so she came to the realisation that she could best serve her electorate and do her job in the current atmosphere as an Independent. In other words she's focused on the job rather than herself. It became clear after the Victorian election when Liberal voters turned their backs on Matthew Guy who'd adopted conservative campaign tactics of division and scaremongering and the values that went with that. The Liberals don't face a split they face the ultra- conservatives who can't face the fact that they are obsolete, not wanted and not true Liberals.
Andrews, Abetz, Kelly, Sukar, Molan, Dutton, Cash, Abbott, Kelly and Corman are all just green bottles sitting on a wall and as the song says if one falls they all will and that's not a split. The Liberal Party will still be there restoring itself in the eyes of the electorate in 2032. The ALP in Victoria has captured almost 50% more votes than the Liberal Party's total of 850k with 70% of the votes counted. If there is a split it was the with the Liberal Party's base the electorate that was fully aware that the party had lost focus due to the personal ambitions of a minority of players sufficient enough for the ALP to trash them. Let's face it if Malvern and Brighton, hardly swinging seats, saw an 8% flip the message was clear.
The people who drove Julia Banks out of the party
The Liberal MP has had enough of the criticisms from anonymous party figures seeking to blacken her name.
Banks had done what so few politicians do in Parliament – called out the bruising behaviour of her own party rather than pretend the problem was contained to the other side.
The reward for that speech on bullying, made on August 29, was a series of claims by anonymous Liberals who tried to blacken her name. In public, Liberals hinted that Banks could not stand the heat of the political kitchen. In private, they claimed she had been a "difficult" woman who needed enormous help to win her seat at the 2016 election."Often, when good women call out or are subject to bad behaviour, the reprisals, backlash and commentary portrays them as the bad ones – the liar, the troublemaker, the emotionally unstable or weak, or someone who should be silenced," she said.
At the last election, Banks was the woman who helped the Liberals win. Next time, she may be the woman they could not afford to lose.
HELPING ANDREW BREAK OUT OF HIS BUBBLE
I'm sure it's just because "budding journalist" Andrew Donegan lives in a bubble that he asks: "I definitely haven't encountered a militant army of social engineers and I'm in touch with some fairly hardcore lefties. Can you give me an example of a legal consequence for being un-PC besides the Andrew Bolt case?" Here are a dozen more to start with.
