One Nation MP Mark Latham describes Al Jazeera gun lobby donation story as 'media entrapment' - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)
Screaming victims of their own conspiracy to encourage foreign donations to which they voted against in the Parliament but ready to take under the table. Just how many twists and turns will snakes make for a dollar? Now Mark Latham is brought in to try to put the back foot Party in front claiming Al Jazeera made them do it.
This is One Nation's undoing so watch the Liberals swoop like they did when Abbott had Hanson jailed. Like vultures fighting over a carcass. How is it Hanson's Party has for 20 years shown how competent they aren't with a gun? Watch Latham short term State member long term leader. ()DT)

SOMETHING ODD ABOUT AL JAZEERA'S ONE NATION STING
COLUMN Yes, Pauline Hanson’s One Nation looks shonky after two officials were secretly filmed talking of the millions they wanted to get from America’s US gun lobby.But wait — don’t trust the politicians and journalists beating this up, either. One Nation didn't do what headlines claim, and Al Jazeera's four-year sting is deeply suspicious.
Let's see if I'm right
Firstly Al Jazeera was investigating the American NRA for 3 years, not 4 as Bolt makes out. Even Dickson and Ashby don't stretch the truth that far. However, they do make out they were Muller's central target when they weren't little more than a sideshow fit for Australian news. In their eagerness for money, they were drawn into the investigation, and that isn't odd given the history of the players.
One thing you can guarantee about Andrew Bolt principles will be set aside for defending the team no matter how stupid the act. He's done it time and again with Abbott. That's the NRA template.
This time in One Nation's attempts to raise money they stumbled into Al Jazeera's 3-year undercover investigation of America's NRA. One Nation thought they were being handed heaven on a stick and were after 1) The sponsorship of the NRA and 2) Have the NRA mentor them on their political tactics and 3) Money money money from the NRA or the Koch bros. To say they didn't know who the Koch Bros were is to say they don't belong in politics.
My guess, Bolt's response won't be original, and Ashby's and Dickson's well based on the NRA template of attack back and attack hard. Bolt's take less so. He will follow the more cautious tack copying the new NSW One Nation Senator Mark Latham he won't be original that's for sure just formulaic. Latham is well seasoned and seen this all before and suggest another perspective need be taken in these two mugs defence. Bolt my gues will plagiarise it and make out the ideas are his because that's the way Bolt rolls. He wants the glory but not the work. Investigative journalism and CT critical thinking will not be praised or be the winner here. Despite that Bolt is very often the guy who claims he's got stories from the inside himself.
He will raise the Islamophobic spectre of, Qataris being the owners of Al Jazeera? He will need to be reminded that Rupert Murdoch was supported and would never have been able to achieve the heights he has without Saudi money invested in his businesses either. So Bolt once worked for the Saudis and Muslims himself merely because he worked for Rupert. So what's good for the goose should be good for the gander shouldn't it? But in this case, it won't even though the Saudis are the biggest global sponsors of Wahabi Sunni Islam around the world and terror.
Investigative journalistic efforts here were to establish facts, verifiable facts about what is occurring in a very secretive organisation that's been a powerhouse in American politics for a very long time. Going undercover isn't as One Nation is trying to make out "entrapment". It wasn't an attempt to create fake news and nor was it an Islamic plot. What we saw was One Nation dive in boots and all into what they thought was an opportunity. One Nation isn't the victim of anything other than their own making, and they were a sideshow.
Since when has being "drunk" an explanation for two idiots crossing the political line. They were doing all the talking and after 4 hours of whiskey didn't sound drunk. I've been drunk and have never abandoned my principles, and then there were two of them with Muller relatively silent. They weren't being raped. Two people involved in making One Nation look ridiculous and attempting to initiate what they voted against in Parliament. They were two political hypocrites in action.
In the eyes of the public Pauline Hanson was the primary person and party pushing the policy against foreign donations and interference and what they were attempting was the reverse. Worse still Dickson promising to make Australia the 53rd State of America. By dismantling our exceptional gun laws that have kept us safe for 22 years. He was fundamentally unAustralian and proudly treasonous. The NRA hates us for setting an example of what was possible, and we set the standard for the rest of the world, and it made us global leaders as a result.
On what grounds can One Nation even begin to justify their actions and call them entrapment?
Give this was a PAYWALL and I only presumed Bolt would take Latham's tack as his own I believe I was spot on.

Hanson is suggesting what a "False Flag" at Port Arthur? (ODT)

- Senator Hanson was unavailable for comment
JULIAN BURNSIDE'S COMIC CAMPAIGN FOR THE GREENS
COLUMN Isn’t Julian Burnside terrific? I’ve never had so much fun watching a celebrity candidate explain why you should not vote for the party dumb enough to pick him. Burnside has again exposed just the Greens represent. The multi-millionaire has promised to tackle "income inequality" - and sent voters an email asking for their money.
"ABHORRENT" MORRISON CHANNELS "DEPLORABLES" CLINTON
DISSING ONE NATION Terry McCrann: "It was a strategy that worked so brilliantly to elect President Clinton that Scott Morrison... has adopted it... He’s modified the words used so effectively by President Clinton. Rather than calling the voters he needs to attract a 'Basket of Deplorables', he’s said the party they want to vote for is 'abhorrent'."
PAYWALL
What an absolutely moronic thing to say in Clinton's case the "Deplorables " weren't a political party and Morrison isn't suggesting One Nation supporters are "abhorrent" he's saying that One Nation as an organisation is "abhorrent". The only stupidity is it's dumb calling dumb dumber but not even as dumb as McCrann and Bolt standing together on this. They are calling out One Nation voters as "abhorrent" You didn't hear it from Scott.
Just watching Dickson and Ashby doing their thing and dog whistling an Islamic attack and Hanson throwing out the notion that Port Arthur was a false flag is sufficient to say they weren't mimicking but are the three stooges of politics. Politics has given itself a bad name, and it may have started with the ALP, but it grew grosser with the LNP these past six years. One Nation well they have been a constant sideshow from the beginning. The fact is Shorten is the drover's dog more intelligent than any of them, and the ALP are leading by example.
WOKE NEW FOOTY SHOW CRASHES
Channel Nine had a hit - a footy show that was blokey and irreverant, starring Sam Newman and Eddie McGuire. But then the warriors of identity politics started a campaign to "fix" it, and Channel Nine produced a woke new team: "However, last night’s ratings figure of 96,000 in Melbourne is the lowest in the show’s long history. "
PAYWALL
People in glass houses shouldn't is Bolt suggesting his show doesn't need fixing? Football was once played on one day of the week the Footy Show could focus, and viewers would all unite.
Now the football is the TV show, and it's on three nights of the week, and the viewers can watch it all making the Footy Show redundant. More viewers are watching the real event than ever before, and they have access like they never had. Football, after all, is what it's about. 96,000 more than double who watch Bolt around Australia not just Melbourne.
What Murdoch Media never talks about is the war on children. Football is far more important.(ODT)
