IS THIS SHORTEN'S MOST CLUELESS POLICY?

COLUMN Is there anything Bill Shorten actually understands about global warming and his dangerous plan to “stop” it? His ignorance about his hugely expensive plan to cut our global warming gases by 45 per cent by just 2030 is frightening. Here’s a list of things the Labor leader either doesn’t know or refuses to say.

  Voters think it was the wrong call

The vast majority of respondents — 78 per cent — think that the decision to remove Malcolm Turnbull in August last year was the wrong call. That conclusion is drawn from 153,354 responses to Vote Compass between April 10 and April 16.

Non-subscribers, in Warringah, have been given the Daily Telegraph Gratis, for free. They pay nada to read this Carasouel of Crap. If I were a paying customer, I'd cancel my subscription and demand a refund. This has been going on since March and will be continuing through until the election. So if non-subscribers are getting it gratis why should others pay?
 Bolt's been offering this same repetitive pap up for over a week, nothing's changed all it proves is fake news and opinion are being put out as propaganda to polish Australia's turd Tony Abbott and others like him. There are 63,000 residences in Warringah how few are Daily Telegraph subscribers. If this is going on elsewhere with the Herald Sun, Courier Mail and Advertiser how big an undeclared donation is this to the Liberal Party? If News Corp is being paid whose paying and what a bonanza for Murdoch, the largest distributor of IPA policy in the country. Either way, it reeks of Corporate interference into what our Democratic elections are intended to be.
So let's examine the word "clueless" for a moment. Tony Abbott eagerly sent and spent $ 0,5 billion annually to offer assistance to a coalition of forces to conduct a war of terror in the Middle East. It was less than 1% of the contribution to the collateral damage caused by a coalition of nations. Yet Abbott let us know just how appreciated his irrational contribution to keep us safe was.
The planet is warming how do we know because Tony Abbott no longer disbelieves the science. It's no longer "crap" or just another religion as his mate Andrew Bolt still maintains. However, they both always attack Australian warmists because our contribution to global CO2 emissions is only 1% and so any assistance or contribution given the 196 other nations to reduce world CO2 is crap. It won't even be noticed unlike our 1% contribution to the war of terror we conducted. So unlike the necessary effort put in to bomb the Middle East and reign hell on innocent families no effort is needed to do anything for the Planet. Science and technology used for destruction are ok in their minds, but if used for good then it's clueless that's Bolt Logic. He talks about the "cost" not of investment but not of the cost of doing nothing about climate. A Plan B is assumed, when the time comes, however, if it does it will emerge that there is no Plan B and only one earth. Going "Dutch" or splitting the bill is not an option.
Bolt was loud and critical of Victoria's desalination plant praying for rain was always better than spending money. He yelled and screamed about the costs back then too and the irrationality of the spending the then ALP was doing. He doesn't talk about that anymore, does he? The dams are currently 50% full and going down. Shorten is acting on a real problem and not just playing politics for politic's sake or his hip pocket.

What's more amusing than Andrew Bolt writing about bugging when he works for the biggest bugging media organisation on the Planet. So much so Rupert Murdoch closed his News of the World tabloid to avoid being jailed himself. He was ready to throw his son James under the bus and have him jailed to avoid the same. What makes Andrew Bolt know so much about bugging when his boss was prepared to lie through his back teeth to deny the practice his organisation was so famous for. He even did an Alan Bond and feigned dementia in his effort to show he knew nothing. Here we have Bolt slinging mud for Pell and accusing of others for getting their information by "bugging". A bit rich don't you think given he has no proof. At least it's proved Murdoch media conducts illegal practices and governments have even said he doesn't deserve to be in control of such a mega media corporation employing people prepared to conduct themselves without journalistic ethics. It hasn't however been proved that Pell was bugged. This post sounds awfully like a false flag to me and any other reader, given Bolt's history.

One suspects Andrew Bolt's attention to Eddie Betts is because of the reverse attention he gave Adam Goodes Australian of the year multiple Brownlow medalists on the day the AFL celebrated Indigenous Australia. Bolt's Racism was beyond the pale that day, and the rest of Australia let him know it. However, Bolt never says sorry, so he's been an Eddie Betts fan ever since.

Hundreds killed, 450 injured as explosions rock Catholic churches during Easter mass

 Let's admit our gun laws work, and any attempt to weaken them as was shown by Al Jazeera that One Nation is prepared to do anything for money is next to treasonous. Sri Lanka is a location where everything is freely available, and people have the skill to enact moments like this. Extremists promised revenge and what is surprising is it didn't come sooner and in more places but then Sri Lanka is a tourist island and predominantly Buddhist and Hindu and only 9% Muslim.

You reap what you sow, and Andrew Bolt certainly has a lot to answer for as a leading exponent of Islamophobia in Australia since Tony Abbott became PM. Bolt single-handedly took anti- Islam sentiment from 9% to 33% with hundreds if not thousands of Islamophobic articles that actually go as far back as the Cronulla riots in 2005. His catch cry "who let them in " echoed around Australia for years.
Bolt encouraged and enabled the rise of right-wing Christian Nationalists in Australia and can't escape the influence he had on helping Blair Cotteral to become a leading light. Cotteral was admired by the Christchurch shooter as his role model, and Andrew Bolt helped. We clearly know the result and could well accept Christchurch as a consequence and a trigger to what occurred in Sri Lanka. Bolt went silent for three days after the NZ tragedy but not so now even though the two can be linked and Bolt's media involvement in both.

COMPARE DI NATALE'S SRI LANKA TWEET WITH HIS CHRISTCHURCH ONE

You can almost hear the delight in Andrew Bolt's posted banner. His opportunity to use this as a political attack on Richard Di Natale who embarrassed him on his own show.He really is an ugly Australian.
Compare Bolt's descriptives used about Sri Lanka " Christians Slaughtered" with those he used about the Christchurch massacre.  Bolt was silent for some 3 days he's not on this one, is he? No silence here just an opportunistic and immediate attack. We know when Bolt goes quiet, lost for words thinking about what he needs to say, it's just strategy. Back then when Andrew Bolt did say something, he did a Trump. Today there aren't any words about "equivalence" is there?
When he wrote about what had happened in Christchurch, he wrote not about a "slaughter" or "massacre" but about the "equivalence" of violence on both the left and right and the "equivalence" between extremists in Islam and Christianity. Yes, he did a Trump saying there is good and bad on both sides while in 2018 the Herald Sun alone with Bolt in the forefront had published 2850 plus Islamophobic articles more than ISIS had on social media to stir up religious hatred in the minds of Australians. There is no equivalence between Christianity and Islam in Bolt's mind one is ethical the other evil, and he repeated that time and again. Bolt was strategically backing off his hate-speech as fast as he could because he knew the attention was falling on him when it came to inciting violence against Muslims and their religion yelling "who let them in".
After the Barcelona bombings, Bolt wrote of how he admired the conviction the Muslim terrorists showed and that he wished Christians could show the same and fight back. I don't know what Di Natale said, but I do know what Bolt has said over and over time again to incite violence. Violence is what he hopes for because that then, can be manipulated for political advantage. There is no equivalence when one looks at Gaza, the West Bank, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Yemen, Somalia. There's no equivalence when in the US today 75% of the violence and mass shootings have been done by the right-wing activists with the mindset of Fox News pundits who are doppelgangers of Andrew Bolt. Will ASIO, the AFP  and other National Security organisations take a closer look at this inciters message?
