  1. Chinese billionaire chasing passport paid Liberal lobbyist who boasted of direct line to Dutton

     It was access to the immigration minister that most citizenship applicants would only dream of — lunch in a private dining room at Master Ken's in Sydney's Chinatown

    Sam Dastyari resigned because he accepted an air ticket from the man above. pauline Hanson was caught negotiating with the NRMA in the USA
    Peter Dutton was up close and personal with Chinese close to the CCPA of China he did favours not easily obtained by people without particular value to the Liberal Party
    Tony Abbott has had extremely close contacts with Chinese who also covered the expenses of the Liberal Party that would have been paid on his behalf.
    How is it Sam Dastyari was the only one who honourably fell on his sword and these others haven't? (ODT)

  Trump criticised by Bridgewater Associates CEO Ray Dalio

Capitalism must be reformed because it's not producing enough opportunities for most Americans, creating an income gap that threatens to spark conflict, Ray Dalio, the Bridgewater Associates co-chairman, said in an interview that aired on Sunday on CBS' 60 Minutes.

Strange Murdoch said this a few years ago that the most significant reforms required is to Capitalism itself and it's the last thing Trump is doing. If Murdoch repeated what he said a few years back that the widening income and wealth gap was America's biggest problem and the foremost National Emergency would Trump be criticizing him today?

Vegans don't get paid to bully Andrew Bolt does. Vegans need to protest to be heard Bolt doesn't he has the microphone, and he has it and dictates who he will let hold it based on pleasing his master and ensuring him a profit. Of course, Vegans are protesting about power, and it's misuse. They are protesting and complaining that Capitalism must be reformed. It's not producing anything other than slavery and fouling the very planet we are living on. It's about Climate Change. It's about Respect, not pleasure. What a weird thing for Bolt to say? The capitalisation of happiness, pleasure is precisely what the elite are about. They have industrialised what was once taken for granted as a human right and turn it into a product for profit and sale.
To say there are rules for protest is to say there are rules for debate and that manners are more important than meaning well that's fine if you holding the microphone and if you are both umpire and a debator.  But to suggest style is more important than substance is yet another form of abuse. Righteous anger and protest is a right and it ought to be recognised and not just policed. Vegans need to be heard, and they were.  Their objection unlike Bolt's rant is a moral one.
" Herbert Marcuse captured this risk with the notion of “repressive tolerance”. He argues that a government may successfully neutralise dissent by persuading citizens that there are “good” and “bad” ways of protesting. The good ones are those that cause no disruption, the bad ones are those that do – and citizens should engage in the good ones only. Bolt's thrust is to neutralise any form of opposition to the status quo to loungeroom conversation while that which is opposed is allowed to continue.
Music, Art, if you have the money you can buy it, then you're a lucky man, but as the song goes, you have to have the money to buy it. The Vegan protests are about power its misuse, and it's abuse. It's about greed and how it's been normalised today and defended by the likes of puppets like Bolt who do what they do for pleasure that's never enough. 
There are times when you even hear the voices of men who hold the power question the systems by which we live, and even Murdoch has said America's greatest urgency is the increasing wealth and income gaps and they need to be addressed, or the very system and foundation of America will destroy itself. Some billionaires increasingly recognise the fact of self-destruction, but Andrew Bolt doesn't dare turn on his master. Pity, it's not a conviction for Murdoch but just a passing thought.

JENNA PRICE, JOURNALISM ACADEMIC, TORTURES STATS

 Jenna Price teaches journalism at the University of Technology Sydney. She claims "female journalists credited as authors across our news data set ranged from a low of 14 per cent at The Herald Sun." Herald Sun columnist Susie O'Brien: "I’m proud to be a prominent female columnist and one of the 43 per cent of newsroom staff who are female."

PAYWALL 

There is a major distinction that Bolt overlooks "newsroom staff" aren't all "Journalists". If Bolt were a woman working out of that "newsroom", she wouldn't be one. That's the point. Secondly, if more women are working in the "newsroom", they are there because they are cheaper than men and as such cost savers. Susie O'Brien might be a columnist however if she's another Rita Panahi or Andrew Bolt then she's not a journalist either. So let's assume she is, a journo does that mean the other 43% of females in that newsroom also are? No Andrew Bolt so whose really torturing the stats? It's a well-known fact that News Corp has been shedding "jornalists" in favour of "churnalists" for years, so Bolt's whack-a-mole attack on Jenna Price is hardly a king hit

'UNABLE TO AFFORD PRIVATE RENTAL COSTS'. BUT CAN AFFORD OTHER STUFF

On Q&A last night, Treasurer Josh Frydenberg got this sad question: "What measures are there in this budget to... assist women of my age who have spent most of their life raising their families and now find themselves unable to afford private rental costs?" Checking her Facebook page suggests her life isn't quite on the breadline.

Bolt certainly doesn't live his life by that essential Western Civilised principle of judge others as you would have them judge you or do unto others as you would have them do unto you. But he spouts it often enough. Bolt's life is well-held secret not so this woman on $40k or Zacky Malka or most other questioners on Q&A like Duncan Storrah. Their lives it seems are an open book. Bolt's isn't. His wife went apeshit when the media announced their son James worked for the IPA. We know Bolt's a pretentious buyer of fine whiskey, art, and other pleasures he believes he's entitled to. He brags about them but not so the joys someone on $40k are. Pleasure is not a human right for neither adults nor children it would seem
 Bolt often preaches that Christ was a cornerstone of Western Civilisation and our behaviours toward each other what then does Andrew Bolt base his failed assimilated ugly character on? An accident of nature or poor nurture?
