Tony Abbott 'doesn't recall' if George Pell asked for a character reference

Former prime minister Tony Abbott has defended his decision to stand by George Pell after his conviction for child sex offender

" but says he does not recall whether he was asked to provide a character reference." Abbott

There the level of the man he can't remember and he wants to be the Party leader again or even an MP. Is he suffering early onset dementia? Andrew Bolt calls him the most talented person in the that Party whatever its name is.
The thing about Pell is the rise of the leaders of the conservative class rushing to visit this man found guilty of the most heinous crime even worse than murder. They certainly didn't lead by example did they and they wouldn't have done it for anyone other than the once leader of the Catholic Church in Australia. How is this an example to Australians of the separation of powers of the Church and State? How is it a show that is not meant to influence the appeal process any biased way? Dan Andrews is perfectly right in his criticism of this behaviour.

LIBERAL LEFT DESTROYED PARTY AND WILL PAY

COLUMN Malcolm Turnbull gone, Julie Bishop and Kelly O’Dwyer going, and now Christopher Pyne, too. Know what some Liberals call that? A good start. The election will do the rest. Check Sportsbet’s seat-by-seat odds and see what will happen to the Liberal Left that ruined the party.

 Crawl is right, but the won't change the name will they to the ultra-Nationalist Party will they and will become just that in disguise. The Conservatives may or may not have the numbers but not because of any talent or merit that's for sure. Will Andrews and Abetz stay on it certainly won't be because they saved the SS Liberal Party either but instead because they destroyed it. However, is not about the numbers, is it? It's about how many Liberal voters will jump ship because we know Australian Liberals aren't as hardcore. 8 plus years will be their wait. Bolt is here already declaring it 6 Abbott may lead, but he will never win again. Why he can't change his position on Climate the ABC the Ramsay Center, Cuts to where there are no cuts promised. The millennials will have come of age and be more educated, as will women in the workforce who will pay attention to who and what the men of the Party once promised and lied about who really the conservatives represent and not just what their donors. Whatever the Liberal Party is doing with the ultra-cons if at the helm they won't ever serve the interests of the Australian people again.  Their Melbourne Club attitudes simply ensure they remain an anachronism a scar on the Australian historical landscape, as welcome as another Black Friday bush fire and just as useful. 

Andrew Bolt' conservative logic is a bit like Mussolini's tanks during WW2 one forward gear and 5 in reverse. Whites the victims of Black racism, Christians the victims of  Islam, Men, the victims of women, Western Culture the victim of Multiculturalism and education, the rich the victims of labour. Can we find a progressive gear in Andrew Bolt's mindset when doctors, experts are all a danger not to be trusted? Where children are not to be believed. Andrew Bolt is a man who dreams no plans retirement elsewhere because he's such an isolated pawn for Murdoch that he's too afraid to walk the streets of his own city yet insisting Africans, indigenous culture and Muslims are unwanted.

BOLT PODCAST: THE BISHOP BOAST AND THE LIB LEFT FALL

PODCAST UP The new Andrew Bolt Podcast is up. Talking with son Dom about Julie Bishop's big boast, how the Liberal Left faces a wipeout, and how demands for the Liberals to have more female MPs totally miss what most women need. Plus a book tip and the barking of my dogs.  Listen here.  

1h

 Amature hour at the Bolt home, As for Julie Bishop she's right she would have given Bill Shorten a more significant run for his money than Peter Dutton. However the fear that Dutton had the numbers coupled with the misogynist culture of the party ensured Julie Bishop couldn't and wouldn't lead the Party. Note none of this had anything to do with the members of the Liberal Party it was entirely within the internal machinations of the Liberal Party itself and the priority was not to let the conservatives take control of the party. Corman, Hunt, and others will never be trusted again. 

As for Andrew Bolt, he's a living parody of a misogynist telling women "what they need". Let it be noted that Bolt's wife a better journalist than Andrew Bolt has been reduced in public by her husband as a person he has to take on holiday, and a millstone who in no way shares the income load Andrew Bolt has to carry. His words, not hers. 
Like his elder son Bolt reveals just what a lousy listener he is and when not produced what a bad speaker he really is. Absolutely woeful without his auto-cue.  Does he even understand what it is he's really saying? Telling us just how badly Tony Abbott felt and knowing he'd be jeered at by his ugly enemies and jeered unjustly what is it Bolt is doing just getting his personal jollies off mocking Julie Bishop in precisely the same way. Well next to her Bolt sounds a blithering self- promoting braggart. Abbott's my friend, Tim Storrier is my friend, and he's a victim like me Dom in this cruel Australia. I'm it, Dom, I went to the Archibald's don't interrupt me and on and on he goes using his son as his stooge.
Yes, Bolt sounded just the same on a podcast with his son James sponsored by the IPA where they just did the KKK shuffle on the heads of the South Sudanese girls for what? For entering a beauty pageant and did Bolt laugh you'd think his face cracked. 

BISHOP COULD HAVE WON? NOW EVEN ENTSCH SAYS NO

Jule Bishop says she could have beaten Bill Shorten, but just 10 MPs agreed with here in last year's ballot. Now made that nine: "Warren Entsch, one of just 11 ­Liberal MPs to vote for Julie Bishop in the August leadership spill, says he should have voted for Scott Morrison."

A PAYWALL
Andrew Bolt, the author, indeed shows his prowess in the English language doesn't he. Bolt seems to have lost the plot one minute talking about the SS Liberal Party and then sliding sideways to Warren Entsch whose not even a member of that said Party. Bolt seems to have trouble getting the numbers to agree with anything he says these days rarely makes sense or gets things right. He's afraid to come out of his house that's the sort of Australian he is.

SLEEPING PYGMIES, HATING DEBATE

One Edith Cowan University lecturer, Andrew Priest, has been sending up to 100 tweets a day to scare advertisers away from Sky News. He and allies have used retweets to seem more numerous than they are. Now they want me boycotted for pointing out problems with the George Pell verdict. Why is an academic so hostile to debate? This is sick.

This is the stupidity of Bolt the free speech crusader complaining about a lecturer's right to free speech telling advertisers not to advertise on Sky when Sky News itself pulled all the advertisers off his show not to have them tainted by his opinions. Bolt doesn't mention that because he's a dutiful pawn and doesn't attack his paymasters. 
"Not interested in debate, it seems." says Andrew Bolt who runs the Bolt Report as a preachers platform which he calls 'Debate". Note Bolt doesn't address real issues of debate like the letter sent to him addressing his ignorant remarks in defence of Pell. When push comes to real shove, Andrew Bolt turns into the straw man and either duck for cover or just plays the man.
Here lies yet more idiocy from Bolt and Sky “In reality, this outrage has originated from less than 32 accounts throughout the duration of 2019.” Bolt's show is presented as what, the opinion of how many? One man with the resources to preach to 3 million plus a day but has the reach and ratings at best of 1% with the backing of $millions in production costs wasting advertisers their money and reputations.

ANOTHER 2GB WITH SINGO AND JONES?

Movement at the  2GB station: "John Singleton has moved to shore up his relationship with high-profile talkback radio presenter Alan Jones, while revealing a sale of his $100 million stake in Macquarie Media is 'inevitable' to avoid future business tensions." Could the two start again?

WHAT WE SHOULD LEARN FROM TWO LABOR MEN ACCUSED OF RAPE

COLUMN I’ve been thinking of two Labor people I defended from the mob when they were accused of rape. One was Bill Shorten. Both should teach us evidence counts.

  If Andrew Bolt can masturbate in public and brag about it as if he can't be touched it goes to show why pedophile priests felt they could too. Why politicians ran sex clubs the kind Bolt's friend, Milo talked of. Bolt obviously ignored Clare Kathleen  Linane's letter yesterday that addressed the very stupidity of his Pell opinion, not defence.
What do they say about an accused defending himself? He has a fool for lawyer and Bolt merely has proved that here.

THE MASK OF CIVILISATION SLIPS

Greg Barns: "Last week’s reaction to... Cardinal George Pell was characterised by... an awful sense of triumphalism on the part of some media who have pursued Cardinal Pell for some years, and above all the spectacle of a lynch mob literally screaming at the guilty man... It says much about Australia that the veneer of civilisation is just that."

It offers nothing here about the process that found Pell guilty, does it? Just the crowd's bad behaviour.
