SMOLLETT BLAMED RACIST WHITES. POLICE ARREST BLACK FRIENDS
As I said last week, nothing about Empire star Jussie Smollett's story seemed to fit, no matter how much Trump-haters in the media wanted to believe it. Now it seems the racist white Trump supporters who he said bashed him for being gay may be black friends of his in a stunt to save his career.
"Police in Chicago have arrested two Nigerian brothers in connection with an alleged racist and homophobic attack on black actor Jussie Smollett last month."Bolt
The nub of the matter is Bolt pleads and shows his ignorance when it comes to Racism in declaring he's not a racist
Racism is colourless Australia is racist; its dominant culture is racist, and it's culture, and the internalised social psychology has been racist and drags down any institutional and behavioural efforts to change it. Racism refers to the long term, and increasing gap on all social metrics brought about by race alone. If Warren Mundine and Jacinta Price speak of Aborigines needing welfare they are racist of the kind that Bolt defends so hard. Charity cases requiring care rather than poverty case due to lack of opportunity reflecting the differential of power and hierarchy between races coupled with the assumed naturalness of that state of being.
Bolt so blinded by his own white superiority he tries to excuse it by pointing out this can't be a racist event because the perps might just have been Black and therefore couldn't have been Trump supporters, Homophobes, or racists. Suggesting Smollett's a liar, or he's the racist and whites are his victims.
Ignorance Andrew Bolt is no excuse. We heard you mocking the South Sudanese women for little more than their looks with your son on IPA radio December 2018
The Economy here is another word for the "rich" Labor will attack "Capital" something most working and productive Australians don't have and whose income hasn't or wealth has only increased some 2-3% while their job security and benefits have been "clobbered". The banks and financial protection and debt creation sectors have hit them as hard as charging 22% interest ++ while the tax minimising and evasion industries and been fingered in the Panama Papers in 2016 for laundering and criminal tax evasion. Now there's a nice package for you McCrann is defending capital that dosh that sits and grows on the back of the work and productivity of Labor 90% of Aussies. That alone would want you to vote Labor, wouldn't it? Did you know the LNP promised transparency naming and shaming those evaders and 2 years later they and Treasury deny it?
"The three big ones are the franking credits clawback, the attack on negative gearing and the doubling of capital gains tax. But as they say in the ads, there’s more, much more."McCrann
Franking credits, on "self-managed", super well for a start only the wealthy are a statistically significant category in that group. They get the cash back from the government because their dead money went into companies that paid tax. Negative gearing suits them as well because it minimises income tax of those that have too much when ordinary Australians don't. It's all protection for the wealthy getting wealthier that McCrann is arguing for. Sure it's a carrot for workers to invest in a second home finance sector is all about debt creation and risk. Workers incomes are still rarely high enough to benefit from any negative gearing, and any downturn crushes the bejeezus out of them. Yet again McCrann's merely arguing for the rich, not the Economy.
Doubling Capital Gains tax is a no brainer for fairness when 90% of Australian workers don't have Capital. The restructuring of "fairness" to those that are productive from those that aren't would, in fact, boost the economy not shrink it. How many jobs does it take to sell a $500,000 tax-deductible Bently bought with the capital gains compared if half were taxed and put into Education or Health?
By the way the wealthy aren't putting that money into Fossil Fuels, it's nice to see, but their names can still be found in the Panama Papers about which nothing has been done. In 2015 the LNP government offered them an amnesty fancy that something else McCrann fails to mention.
This year is the 50th anniversary of the jailing of Australian Clarrie O’Shea, Tramways Union (Victoria) State Secretary and Vice Chairman of Vanguard - Communist Party of Australia Marxist-Leninist.
It promoted a general strike and ended the penal powers used against unions at that time. One million workers stopped work under the slogan “Free Clarrie and repeal the penal powers”.

How diminished have the unions been since then? (ODT)
Unfortunately for Tony, he hasn’t. Voters now want action on climate change, compassionate treatment of refugees and other more progressive initiatives. Suddenly, Abbott, by his own admission, is in the fight of his life against a well-funded quality independent Liberal candidate, Zali Steggall.
Wren's week: Abbott's fantasy world, Wilson's corruption and Medevac
First off, Tony Abbott. He’s a man rightly under pressure. Utterly incompetent as PM and, as time has progressed, he has lurched further and further to the fruit-loop Right. By all accounts, he has delivered very little for his Warringah electorate over the 25 years he’s spent in Parliament. His wealthy Northern Beaches electorate has been dominated by the aging blue-rinse and pearls set who were welded to the Liberal Party. That set has been slowly dying off though, and the demographics have changed.
