LABOR SINKING IN BOATS BLUNDER: LEAD SLASHED IN IPSOS POLL

The head of Australia's chief intelligence organisation has intervened in the high stakes political stoush over border security and says his agency's classified advice on the medical evacuations bill has been misrepresented.
Australian Security and Intelligence Organisation boss Duncan Lewis repudiated a front page report in The Australian - relied on by the government as evidence the bill would undermine border security - accusing the newspaper of misrepresenting ASIO advice.
" Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton said on radio that morning that: "The agencies have told [Labor leader Bill Shorten] that this bill would be a disaster and it would restart the boats."
" Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton said on radio that morning that: "The agencies have told [Labor leader Bill Shorten] that this bill would be a disaster and it would restart the boats."

What we continue to have here is the blundering of Peter Dutton yet again an he would be in his own mind the PM

 After the Polls were taken the truth is revealed the Government Lied not just Murdoch

One Poll doesn't make an election just as one sandwich doesn't a picnic. The Victorian election was a landslide while the opinion polls declared it was going to be close and Bolt wrong again. Bolt for the past 4 years has been telling us Abbott's making a comeback he's got the message he's changed. Only to see Abbott making a fool of himself yet again. Bolt's predictions have gone off like a firecracker soaked in water.
 Bolt's ego is much the same backed by the immense wealth of Murdoch's 66% of Australia's print media Sky News, 2GB, his blog Bolt brags that his book sales have been far higher than those published by MUP. However, 27,000 is less than 1% of the 3.5mill syndicated newspapers he's featured in while those published by MUP like Barry Cassidy might be lower but without the promotion. Braggart Bolt fails to mention that difference. Given the backing he has, suggests Bolt's a loser and not a winner.  
 Ipsos poll

The reality is the LNP talk the talk but then do the opposite of what they say, and meanwhile Bolt says nothing but nods at statements like these.
1) Yes Mr President these are fine people we can guarantee that as we have thoroughly vetted them
2) Murderers, Drug dealers, and pedophiles we know nothing about them
3) They were fine to house women and children with
4) We have given visas to hundreds of non Australian criminals some of whom have spent 10 years in jail
5) Doctors, scientists and experts are less trustworthy than politicians to keep Australians "safe".

Hundreds of foreign criminals are being handed back their cancelled visas

Hundreds of foreigners who had their visas cancelled after committing serious crimes are being spared deportation by national security officials, with the government facing questions over how a drug trafficker was allowed to remain in Australia despite spending nearly a decade in prison and offshore detention.
Amid a heated political clash between Prime Minister Scott Morrison and Opposition Leader Bill Shorten over border integrity, The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age can reveal criminals are using an opaque process to have their mandatory visa cancellations overturned by Department of Home Affairs officials, the minister or assistant minister.

Poll shows support for Labor falling in wake of clash over border security

Polling was declared to be extremely close in Victoria before the state election, but the opinion polls were sooo wrong!! News Corp for all its politicking failed to impress Victorian voters.

The latest Ipsos survey is another sign of the volatility in Australian politics since the turmoil within the government last August.
Labor held a lead of 51 to 49 per cent last July, before the Coalition split on energy helped widen the gap to 55 to 45 per cent in the days before Mr Turnbull was removed.
While there was a slight recovery for the government under Mr Morrison in September, when Labor led by 53 to 47 per cent, the year ended with Labor ahead by 54 to 46 per cent based on preference flows at the last election.

LABOR FEELS CURSE OF THE GIRLS CLUB

Liberal turncoat Julia Banks and Independents Rebekah Sharkie and Kerryn Phelps have been touted by the media Left as the kind of moderates the Liberals need. Turns out this touchy, feely, smirky club has instead destroyed Labor's poll lead by helping Labor to pass the Phelps-designed law that weakened our borders. Something poetic there.

 What the Liberals don't need is to have conservatives of the party steal a sandwich and call the Party "their picnic". Bolt's crowing is precisely why Julia Banks claimed the Party has a culture of bullying. Women are called the "unwanted girls" by the misogynist Andrew Bolt who retracted saying he was once "the minder to a belly dancer" rather than a kept man. How many times have we seen Bolt crow? The one thing for sure the next 3 months and the past 5 years will determine who Australia wants as a government and women will have a big say.
The Age now under the control of Ch 9 is hardly a bolshie leftist paper as Bolt makes out jumping around like a 6 foot Rumpelstiltskin reminding us of 20008. In fact, it's been operating more like News Corp than a news and information outlet. History, time, transition, change, progress are words that have no meaning for Bolt or Murdoch only that the outcome remains the same for their investors and their side. Progress and growth and the principles of information in a democracy are meaningless terms when winning is what it's all about even if it means losing the nation's soul.
13 child suicides don't get the publicity that Bolt 1200 drownings get the context desperation oppression misery and hope of asylum are ignored. Yet those 13 children are dead under this governments watch. In this case, he can't blame Labor, so he blames the children. In the fact of the drownings, he blames both. In the case of the children the Liberals removed $180 mill funding in the case of the drownings they added $5bill yet, in reality, nothing has changed. The desperate






will risk drowning again, and the children will continue to die, and all Bolt's interest is to win as for the rest well that's merely a case of controlling the narrative.
At the moment Bolt's crowing because of an Ipsos poll. What he fails to tell us the boats weren't stopped that secret was well and truly busted when a boat arrived in Australia one which wasn't towed back. It was leaked that the boats have kept coming and that narrative a secret. As the election nears that secret will change and the story of boats will change as will the hope of no drownings change because of the Liberal need to win and that priority and not the cost of life. That will always be the victim's fault. Meanwhile, Asylum Seekers will be called "illegals" "invaders" "rapists" "pedophiles" and "murderers" everything they are not.
Why does Morrison'ss narrative change so readily? If asked by Trump if we know who the asylum seekers are he and Dutton will readily say they do and they foresee no problems in the USA taking another 800. However, if speaking to us domestically, they are an enormous danger. Bolt doesn't address this danger and until recently was advocating women and children were safe being housed with men who today are defined as criminals. There's is a game of politics that will readily say anything to stay in power even if it does nothing for us the nation as a whole.

Guess Bolt is ready to deny Colonialism the "stolen land stories, frontier war stories and genocide tales as well. It wasn't until nearly 40 years had passed before a white man was charged for murdering an Aboriginal and 50 before one was hanged. So in Bolt's view, the record shows none were murdered, and a pop 750,000 were reduced in numbers to less than half by natural causes and the poverty of their own culture of 60,000 years. Bolt's notion of History is written by white men whose records show the welfare industry removed children from their families for necessary care. In other words, welfare was privatised and handed to the churches that we have recently shown molested, harmed and profited "taking care" of children. A Royal  Commission recently altered that good Christian narrative and showed what that really meant. Without the symbols of good deeds "business of Charity" by the Church and other institutions simply wouldn't help them grow fat and yes Aboriginal children were earmarked for that "business" and "missionary" work which was supported by successive governments. To say it wasn't a "business" is to deny the fact that children were even shipped from the UK to give legitimacy to what has become regarded as Institutional theft to manage a global multinational industry.
Karl O'Callaghan symbolises the history of the inter-generational attitudes and culture that actually legitimised what has come to be known as theft of kids from their families. If you give people a task like Operation Fledermaus and have it seriously focus on the crimes of a group of Whites you will discover what's been hidden from view. What you would find would be just as horrific as was eagerly detected by O'Callagan being done not only in the Catholic Church by priests but being done in the very suburb Andrew Bolt lives in, and by yes White men.  More than 54 men could be charged for thousands of offences committed in Malvern and overlooked.
What O'Callagan fails to distinguish as does Bolt that the behaviours of white men alcohol, drugs, and molestation of children aren't inherent in Indigenous culture. These behaviours were learned.  Unemployment, inability to get the same opportunities as white men 200 years of unequal payment have entrapped 30% if Indigenous Australians in a marginal lifestyle only then to be judged by O'callagan and Bolt. The same lifestyle we are witnessing the growth of in urban and rural Australia today among whites.
Living rough hiding from the Welfare man is no longer just an indigenous lifestyle; it's the lifestyle of poverty and the increasing gap. The Stolen Generation story hurts far less than the tale spun by Bolt's history which is one of victim blaming racism that enriched privatised welfare for hundreds of years by enabling a victim-blaming industry to be set up with relative ease. One that has attracted the worst of humans to be employed in and mythologised the best as all being Mother Theresa.
Listening to Bolt and O'callagan perpetuates a past that no longer, in fact, fit reality. The fact that drugs and criminal behaviours towards women a Children is an all Australian problem not a coloured or culture one alone and it's growing. Focusing on a minority is a good excuse not to do more but really to do less.
