'Quite significant': Australia sweats through the hottest March on record
If it were a cold snap Bolt would be crowing. What happened to those 20 years of cooling he claimed the planet was experiencing. He's been tight-lipped those years. But then he's been tight-lipped since Sunday missed his podcast and today's blog it seems. Is that because he's caught the late summer flue. Unfortunately, the planet will be vulnerable to illness due to unseasonable weather and our public health system's inability to cope. He mocked the state's expenditure on our desalination plant, and our dams are now only 50% full going down. Has he ever really managed to get anything right on any macro-analysis?The question has Bolt taken a long weekend because it's Budget night and The Bolt Report is not programmed because he's of no use??

“The strain of treading a line between the charter requirements … and making do with increasingly less funding, combined with the need for consequent staffing losses and diminished resources for program-making, have taken a heavy toll. Such an environment can breed timidity because of the apparently well-founded fear that giving offence to government might result in further assaults on the ABC’s independence, funding and functions.”
The Senate inquiry found nothing of the sort that Abdrew Bolt criticizes the ABC for in fact it saw the ABC seriously threatened by and extremely biased government. (ODT)
Here’s How Muslim Women In Australia Have Been Targeted By The Far Right
Australia’s home affairs secretary Mike Pezzullo said on Friday that his department had "re-dedicated itself to standing resolutely against the extremist ideology of white supremacy and its adherence" in the wake of the Christchurch terror attack.
"You are on our radar and you will not be able to incite the racial strife that you seek," he said.
But Faruqi says there are still “really serious questions” over whether Australian governments at all levels are “taking right-wing extremism seriously”.
"We must act now to protect the community from white supremacist and far-right extremism whether it’s online, in the media or in politics,” she says.
Abdel-Magied says Australians need to be “courageous” in the face of far-right extremism.
“We need you to stick up for a better society,” she says. “We need to you see us as equals and use the gift of your privilege to help us build a better country.
“For someone like me, who sits at the intersection of various marginalised groups in society, what happens is that our experience is ‘intersectional’ — it’s not only sexism and it’s not only racism, and it’s not only Islamophobia, but it’s an amplification of all those phenomena.”
New Book Reports Trump Cheats at Golf Literally All the Time
One of the worst things about every recent president is that they all play golf, the worst sport for bad people. Clinton played a lot of golf, Bush played a lot of golf, and Obama also played a lot of golf. Trump has also made himself famous for playing a ton of golf in office. Unlike the other guys (probably), what sets Trump apart is that he is well known as a massive golf cheat.via
