PNG rejects Australian Government's move to deport Gus Kuster


Peter Dutton really is the dumbest cop and minister this country has produced.

An attempt by Australian authorities to deport a convicted criminal to Papua New Guinea fails when authorities in that country refuse the man entry and vow to send him back to Australia.

Australian officials had planned to leave Kuster in Port Moresby, where his family said he had no close relatives, with two weeks' paid accommodation and $250.

 George Pell has lost his appeal. What did the court decide and what happens now? - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

Pell had already faced two juries, after his first trial in 2018 ended in a hung jury.
Following Wednesday's ruling Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison expressed sympathy for the victims.
He said the "courts had done their job" and indicated Pell would be stripped of his Order of Australia honour.
During Pell's trial under the court-ordered veil of secrecy, the Vatican gradually removed him from top Church bodies with little explanation.
Shortly after his conviction, Pell was removed from the so-called C9 Council of Cardinals that are effectively the pope's cabinet and inner circle of advisers.
The Vatican dropped him as the Church's finance chief and opened its own investigation into his actions after his conviction was made public in February.

Andrew Bolt's handball to PAYWALL

PELL APPEAL DENIED

Victoria's Court of Appeal has rejected George Pell's appeal against his conviction for sexual abuse. Two of the three judges ruled against him, one for him because the verdict was unreasonable. 
The Andrew Bolt response seems like that of a twisted churchmouse. The verdict was Two of three judges found the verdict REASONABLE one was not entirely convinced. The Victorian Court of Appeal didn't REJECT Pell's appeal they DISMISSED it according to the rules of law.
One truth Bolt admits to is "I'm not a Lawyer"  He didn't attend much of the court hearings if any. "anyone who tries to second guess the process of the legal system is a fool" How true is that when it comes to Andrew Bolt.


LABOR CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH ABOUT ITS WARMING MADNESS

 The Labor Environment ­Action Network is still in denial about why Labor lost the election: "Labor was unable to put a price on its climate change action plan... It couldn’t say how much it would cost... or what economic dividend it would deliver." No, it wasn't unable but unwilling to tell us the truth - the cost, too much; the benefit, none.  
Andrew Bolt is as smart as a bag of rocks. Ideas thought worthwhile throughout history didn't come to a standstill because of the unknown cost of their pursuit or the guaranteed benefit. Venture Capitalists and governments lost billions chasing what they thought "good ideas" at the time without the exactness Bolt demands. If that weren't the case, the culture exploration and science of any kind wouldn't have been attempted. America wouldn't have been discovered, and man wouldn't have bothered going to the moon, Most of the research prolonging life would have been considered a waste of time.
We know the planet's warming even Bolt stopped telling us it was cooling because he realised it made him as thick as a plank. However, what we do know if we can't reverse the physical fact of man's contribution to warming the planet future generations will suffer more and unnecessarily than all the man-made wars throughout history. There is a global consensus that planet-warming is a problem. It will affect everyone in differing degrees all classes, and no one will escape it, and a global initiative is needed to prevent it.
So why does Bolt have the mega-platform that amplifies the madness of doing nothing rather than something about these damaging events which we know are occurring? Would he argue the same if we knew an asteroid was going to hit the earth in 500 years from now? Would he be advocating do nothing simply because we don't know how much it will cost Him? So Dutch proof a birth certificate doesn't make you an Australian. A cost he doesn't want to share but a pay packet he readily does.
The greatest pity is millions of dollars are being spent resisting action rather than doing something about it. 0.3%  of the population of the world yet the 3rd biggest exporter of fossil fuels ant 14th largest emitter of Greenhouse gasses.

 The attack on women by Australian politicians, and Alan Jones - » The Australian Independent Media Network

Things have been just dandy for women in the last forty-eight hours, with broadcaster Alan Jones declaring that Prime Minister Scott Morrison should give New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinta Ardern a few backhands to shut her up, and then stuff a sock down her throat.
Jones was supported by Treasurer Josh Frydenberg, who mildly reprimanded him for his boy talk, before going on to declare that Jones is a “mainstay of our media.”

There is little more dangerous to women than a cabal of white, privileged, powerful men in politics and media who believe they have the right to control our bodies. What is needed is an equally powerful cabal of white, privileged, powerful men in politics and media who will vocally support us in our fight for bodily autonomy. So far, I hear very few men of influence doing that.
When the Treasurer of Australia describes a misogynist, violent scroat  as a “media mainstay,” I have little hope.

Gosh, apparently Jones can give it but can't seem to take it. He tried to squirm out of what he'd clearly said and after days of wriggling APOLOGISED why? Because he was wrong but dare the ABC, point out the error of his ways then the squirming goes on even louder.  "He was taken out of context misunderstood etc." It takes me back to the years of Tony Abbott and Murdoch Media promising he'd change too apologising again and again for what was real and natural. With Abbott, he lost the support of his Party. Hopefully, Jones will lose the help of his advertisers as we hope Bolt will too.

The monarchy, these two idiots somehow believe, have something to do with the "voters" when they aren't even voted for. What you have is two gossip and scandal mongers deflecting attention away from what really will affect UK voters, and that's Brexit and effect them by the end of October.
The monarchy has been the centre of scandals for as long as we can remember and prudes like Bolt and the idiot from Spike have made money and gained attention from it. They are like the magazines at the check out counters around the world waiting to grab a discretionary dollar from dumb arses ready to pay for a scandalous titter. 
However, there are dangerous precedents for this idiocy as well. Holier than thou preachers saw anti- Monarchists as a means to get rid of the Papists who once ruled the country. They declared themselves the elect and not the Royalty on Christian morality, Puritans.
Dutchman Bolt behind his otherwise pulpit desk in a black suit wearing a mockingly green tie shows he's just such a wowser why? He's not a man of the people, yet he's punching up? It's just a distraction because to say "voters" are offended by Harry is inane Harry adds to the UK GDP, and the voters don't for a moment want a Republic. The truth is there is increasing bipartisan support in the UK for the recognition of global warming, and renewables are on the rise. Sir Elton John actually ensured Harry and Megan's flights were carbon neutral which Bolt makes no mention of.

What's changing is the media, and particularly Murdoch Media have little or nothing to write about when it comes to investigative Journalism as they have none left. What was once regarded as an odd spot has become a feature for the Murdoch Press 
However, Bolt bred three kids sent them to private schools where one can guarantee were taught to understand privilege, which allowed them to commit more costly damage to the community than the kids at Berwick. The inner-city high valued postcodes not only have children that commit crime but cost the community far more than we ever come to know why? Because there are far more private negotiations carried on behind the scenes mitigating costs privately yes but not the consequences. These rarely find space in our media when maybe they should.

Were our Unis corrupted when our Governments withdrew their funding and have them turn themselves into semi-privatised businesses? Isn't it this the same argument that guns don't kill people have no politics. Isn't this also the Conservative attitude to cash? It has no politics unless it comes from the Chinese, then it's not the same. 
The independence of Universities was lost well before the Chinese came. They have become a pathway for the wealthy and a debt burden or firewall against those without the funds and increasingly so. It began when these once free public institutions were forced to become privatised. Tutors, lecturers had tenure removed, and students falsely promised the reward of jobs only found debt as their graduation prize. 
What is Bolt worrying about increasingly Australian students will be seeking degrees and education in China, Slovenia as Australian Institutions will become only affordable for the rich. Then Bolt can argue Australians are improving Chinese and Slovenian Universities. 
Bolt certainly is at arm's length when he discusses tertiary institutions never having a degree claiming he was educated in one when he wasn't.
