SURELY IT'S TIME TO DO THE SAME FOR OTHER ULTRA- RIGHT CYCLOPS IN THE MEDIA LIKE ROWAN DEAN, ANDREW BOLT, CHRIS KENNY etc. THEY ARE NOT JOURNALISTS AND ADD LITTLE TO ANY CONVERSATION

Great Australian political policy stuff-ups (part 2): The Menzies years
After Whitlam’s death Andrew Bolt was quick to describe his failures as thus:
The disaster was inevitable. With the Budget blown and the international oil shock hitting a weakened economy, the Whitlam government saw unemployment nearly triple, the tax take double, the deficit blow out, and inflation soar to almost 20 per cent.
Bolt – as usual – doesn’t know what he is talking about. He makes no allowance for the oil shock and an American recession.
He adopted multiculturalism, only to encourage a dangerous new tribalising of Australia.
Conclusion
What ever your political disposition there cannot be any doubt that he changed the country for the better.
As for the other side of the ledger, the economics, I would suggest that history is beginning to look favourably on the intellectual giant that he was.
My thought for the day
The left of politics is concerned with people who cannot help themselves. The right is concerned with those who can.
These posts are little more than PAYWALLS trying to hook people into subscribing to a News Corp masthead. Bolt has been little more than a barrack-er from the bleachers when it comes to Climate Change unable to provide any logical or scientific argument against. So at times, he has turned to total denial then swings to agreement amplifying the complexities involved to swinging back calling Warmists a Religious cult bereft for facts. He's denied there's any consensus to be had and for a long time maintained the planet was cooling. Now he's taken to attacking individuals Prince Harry and a 16-year-old child as if they were the leaders of this Warmist cult rather than the consensus among the worlds scientific bodies.
Basically, Bolt's been like a flag in a storm blowing for attention and the amusement of the majority watching it being torn apart.
Bolt is losing the attention of Australia's major Institutional players, Banks, Investors, and even the major Industries. He certainly didn't capture the attention of the voters of Warringah or help Abbott his" dog" in the race.
Australia 0.3% of the world's pop is the 14th largest emitter of Greenhouse Gases ahead of 40 other nations with much larger populations. However, because it's such a large exporter of fossil fuel its impact on the planet is far greater. We are the 3rd biggest exporters of fossil fuels and allow other nations to be emitters, and Bolt's only argument to this is denial or that it's a global problem of which we have little or no share.
It appears he can't run that argument over and over again, so he's turned to attacking a 16-year-old and to cover his hypocrisy over Adam Goodes he's also targeted others like the UK Royalty why? Because the UK Tories Conservatives have silently been pushing the Australian government to be far more proactive on Climate Change. I suspect Bolt aware of the UK Conservative push so has turned on the British Royalty Rather than the Conservative Party. Has anyone seen Bolt accept reasonable disagreement?
Elton John showed just how wrong Bolt is declaring he arranged Carbon neutral flights for harry and his wife. Something Bolt must have known given his access to the real facts, but he chose to bury this one. If he didn't know it shows what a reckless jock he is with information. (ODT)

HARRY AND MEGHAN, WARMING WARRIORS, TAKE FOURTH PRIVATE JET IN 11 DAYS
Global warming frauds, and lazy. Meghan Markle last month guest-edited an edition of British Vogue, putting warmist guru Greta Thunberg on the cover. Prince Harry told Vogue he and Markle would have only two children because of the “terrifying” implications of climate change. Then they used private jets four times in 11 days to go on holidays.
MESSENGER SHOT, BUT EVEN A GUARDIAN WRITER NOW WORRIES ABOUT THUNBERG
Philosopher Julian Bagnini accuses me in the Guardian of "moral bankruptcy" for criticising the Greta Thunberg cult. But then he admits he also worries about the "virtual canonisation" of an "idealist" whose absolutism represents "a refusal to engage with complexity", making "reasonable disagreement from [even] people on her side more difficult".
