  Power at Any Price: The LNP's Preference Deals - » The Australian Independent Media Network

Conclusion
These two preference deals show the conservative parties either playing disgusting political games or exposing their true roots. Whatever the motivation/s, the point is clear: power at all costs. Such unscrupulous deals, and the odium of the proposed partners, surely undermines the legitimacy of any government so formed.

'IMPARTIAL' ABC PRESENTER HELPS RECRUIT FOR BOB BROWN

The biggest lie about the ABC is that it's not biased. Presenters no longer even pretend to abide by that charter obligation. Here is presenter Wendy Harmer urging people to join Bob Brown's crazy protest against the Adani coal mine.

 PAYWALL

Millions have been spent trying to destroy the ABC. They have been attempting to prove she doesn't abide by her Charter that individual broadcasters like Wendy Harmer are biased and by slashing funding have tried to drain Aunty of its lifeblood in the hope she will wither and die. This government has cut $395million off the ABCs budget in 5 years forcing it to operate on a budget equivalent to 1984. Without the ABC the News Corp corporation would become the equivalent of our State-run media as it is in the USA for Trump... Heaven help us.

Right-wing parasites termites no, hit men, mainly from News Corp, have attacked Aunty from a distance. No talent of their own they have made their reputations nipping at the ABC moved on and come back like Andrew Bolt. Loyalless sycophants who would be nobodies without the publicly owned broadcaster. They regularly attack the ABC in turn to please their corporate handlers. News Corp lackeys continuously, but always just a few, buzzing voices, short of a protest.

Professional gnats yelling from the bleachers they fail time and time again no matter how many investigative committees are set up or how many board members are appointed how much money is withheld or how many people they have sacked these losers fail. People like Bolt wouldn't have jobs without the ABC; it's where they steal their ideas from. The ABC is, in fact, their source of energy.  Bolt would still be writing obituary columns for some local paper without the ABC.

You see while News Corp and Sky News is made up of clones cut from the same cloth. Bolt, Murray, Kenny, Panahi, Dean Henderson etc. the ABC is known for its diversity and different skill sets. Yes, everyone is different in some way and yet be balanced as a whole. Each time conservative governments promise or try to attack Aunty they back off and leave people like Bolt yelling from a distance. While even they quieten down at times so as not to be too obvious but you're guaranteed they dutifully return in the hope of cannibalising and weakening the publicly owned broadcaster a little more. It's been going on for over 50 years when the LNP has been in power.

They dare not make the ABC an election issue because they know it's a losing cause whether in opposition or government these conservative hyenas at best can only nip at Aunty and will continue to do so. Bolt needs the ABC more than Wendy Harmer as she has other skills which she can turn to Bolt hasn't. It's why he's never left, News Corp.

 

APOLOGY TO BOB BROWN. HE'S OPENED MY EYES TO THE CRAZINESS

COLUMN It hurts, but I must apologise to former Greens leader Bob Brown for accusing him of running the most hypocritical protest I’ve seen. In my defence, what idiots protest against global warming by driving 400 cars, almost all petrol-driven, between Tasmania and the Adani coal mine? But then I learned something that makes Bill Shorten look worse.

31m
Bolt's an idiot isn't he just can't get a grip on the meaning of transition? Guess he doesn't notice he's transitioning to the end of his career and the person that follows him won't be Andrew Bolt even though he hopes to make his son do the job. Horses didn't stop shitting on the roads when cars were first being made, and petrol cars won't end overnight as the global motor industry goes electric. Bolt's sons and daughter will be driving electric vehicles and dad will look the fool driving his vintage guzzler or living in retirement on his electric boat in Amsterdam.
Bolt doesn't seem to want anyone to notice what's really happening as things transition the people driving electric cars Teslas etc. aren't the protesters they are in his income group and live in Warringah, Kooyong and Malvern and they too will be voting but this time around not "for" Adani.

MORRISON SLASHES LABOR'S LEAD: 49 PER CENT TO 51

Bill Shorten had a terrible two weeks on the election campaign - and the latest Newspoll will make him very nervous: "An exclusive Newspoll ... shows the Coalition has improved its two party preferred vote by one point and now trails Labor 49-51." What odds on this provoking Malcolm Turnbull into derailing the Liberals?

44m
Newspoll Australia's Rassmussen pollster paid for by Murdoch has always called the trend to LNP first to bolster News Corp's anti- ALP front pages. Murdoch papers can't be seen cheering for the LNP when all the polls are negative. Fox in America publishes Rassmussen for Trump and Newspoll for the LNP because what else would Bolt have to write about on a Monday? He's already had a go at the ABC and needs an alternative space filler.

MORRISON DOES WHAT TURNBULL COULDN'T, AS LIBS RECOVER

COLUMN The Liberals won the first two weeks of this election campaign and one thing is clear: they couldn’t have done it with Malcolm Turnbull.  Dumping Turnbull as prime minister last year was no mistake. Scott Morrison is now making this once-unwinnable election a contest by fighting like Turnbull couldn’t and on issues Turnbull wouldn’t.

1h
Turning to the past to make Morrison look respectable is a tactic needed when there's little or nothing else to talk about. Turnbull is no longer an MP  Abbott is. So bagging Abbott when he sticks his head up isn't the same as attacking a citizen that's entitled to do and say what he wants in our Democracy. Abbott can't do that as he keeps being called out for sandbagging his leader and trying to sink the boat. Anybody notice his silence recently? Not much noise about him turning Green is there still a bit about him being the victim though. No mention of the sleazy ads by Advance Australia or the free Daily Telegraphs being donated to the non-subscribing residents of Warringah. There's is, however, a lot of noise from the Murdoch camp about Turnbull and GetUp as if they haven't a legitimate voice.
Morrison must be in a bit of bother because Bolt's not talking policy is he. No mention of boats, Banks, Climate, a lot about personalities though and the tail that didn't wag the dog as still the force behind the LNP. It reminds me of the three months before Abbott got rolled everyone knew it was coming, but even Bolt got embarrassed about saying he's changed when he knew it was over. It has that sort of feeling again hopeless. 

SOCIALIST SHORTEN'S PAY RISE, WITH YOUR MONEY

Taxpayers in the private sector have had almost no wages growth, but Labor leader Bill Shorten is going to use their taxes to give a big government-funded rise for child-care workers: "Shorten [vowed] that Labor would increase the average wage in the sector by $11,300 on top of the award rate in the next eight years." So generous - with your money.

  You know things are desperate when Andrew Bolt has nothing to do but turn American by using the "S" word as a threat. The LNP gave Murdoch a $30 mill unexplained gift. They were called on by Abbott to fund Adani and fund Coal mines in Australia. The quietly gave Adani water rights why because he going to create 100 long term jobs in the area and maybe 1400 short term ones. Shorten is about to provide a pay rise for the lowest paid workers in the most critical roles in the country child-care which has a flow on effect to all Australian families and Bolt yells Socialist. How head office American of him. How Trump. Bolt prefers to see the children under cared for uninvested in leaving families that need two jobs to make ends meet left out in the cold. How Capitalist of him. They can share and squeeze 2 families into a 2-3 three bedroom house to make ends meet. 
That extra pay will be spent in the market place on real necessary goods and not just on $200 bottles of whiskey Bolt brags about with a mate or Artworks to hang in his 10 room house. Real wages means real spending and real jobs, not promises that turn out to be overseas holidays as Bolt has not spending money in Australia.

DRUMMING THE CONSERVATIVES OUT OF THE ABC

ABC PURGES IPA The Mocker says the ABC's The Drum has banned the Institute of Public Affairs for a year. But look who it welcomes on its panels: "Per Capita, a think tank which espouses “...social justice”...  featured 10 times. The Diversity Council of Australia scored six appearances, as did Human Rights Watch and Change.org... GetUp!... featured eight times."

PAYWALL

What a bleeding heart Bolt is bleeding for the IPA. We don't know why because it's a PAYWALL The Mocker in the Australian who it's been suggested is none other Chris Kenny has put this out and is Bolt's reference. Kenny who told the refugee detention camp at Nauru was a beach holiday destination where he would love to spend family time. The Drum welcomes diversity on it's show something Andrew Bolt doesn't it welcomes open debate something The Bolt Report doesn't. What it doesn't is welcome is offensive behaviour which it rules clearly state to all guests. So if there was any truth in the ban, then we clearly know why. There aren't too many rules on the show. The Banner is purely a piece of advertising copy that will no doubt take you down a road to nowhere.
We do know what the IPA proposes however  Coalition MPs urged to sell the ABC and support a flat tax in IPA call

 We also know Bolt's Dutch mate CEO John Roskam and the IPA are against any ban on overseas donations.  They do not reveal the origin of their finances and want digital political advertising stopped to strenghten the News Corp, IPA, LNP, triads hold on political advertising.

 

What's clear is neoliberal, white, supremacist, ethnocentric, racist complainers like Andrew Bolt who whinge about immigration and only want upper class and working class Caucasian Westerners as welcome immigrants to Australia, not others arguing we have a right who should be able to come here. The problem is they don't want to come. So he prefers nobody other than wealthy refugees and at worst monied Asians. Bolt's policy, however, if it gained traction, would shrink our economy so much we'd be facing recession. He ignores the fact that non-European immigrants are the highest in starting up businesses and employing others. They also seem to be the most intelligently ambitious given their children's school results. All this counters Bolt's emotional, racist and ethnocentric fear that he applies to Australia's immigration policies. We don't have the luxury of choosing who comes because those Bolt wants don't seem interested, and those who Bolt doesn't want aren't. What he doesn't tell us though is the Africans he rails against tend to be more educated and skilled than he is.
What Andrew Bolt doesn't like to admit is that those he doesn't want really appreciate being here unlike him for the very secular values we support. When Andrew Bolt doesn't. He doesn't like to holiday here, dreams of retirement elsewhere, in cities that are more congested, more multicultural and even more socialist than Australian ones. That's what makes him such a bullshit artist hypocrite, and I guess the ugliest of Australians. The most flattering thing that might be said of him.
