This is all our Government can do, cut funding to the ABC, but hand millions to Murdoch to keep his country media outlets going and then Murdoch closes them 6 weeks later.
Money to Qantas who then sack 20,000. 
 This LNP Government don’t even try to hide that they will continue to help big businesses that make huge profits and pay no tax and will see the ABC ripped apart and 200 to lose their jobs.

Rio Tinto Stripped Of Licence After Mistakenly Blowing Up Statue Of John Howard

The Morrison government has stripped mining giant Rio Tinto’s of its right to operate in Australia after it destroyed a historic statue of John Howard believed to be at least eight years old.
An irate Scott Morrison called a special hearing of Parliament to condemn the destruction, labelling it a ‘shocking act of cultural vandalism’.
“This is one of the earliest known statues of John Howard and one of the most significant cultural artefacts in Australia. It is a precious link to our past that is now lost to us forever,” a seething Mr Morrison said.
Other MPs joined a chorus of criticism against the company. “Mining is important to our economy, yes. But not at all costs,” Immigration Minister Peter Dutton said. “We will not allow an organisation that shows such reckless disregard for our cultural heritage to operate in this country”.
Rio Tinto apologised for the error, saying they were unaware they were mining near a sacred site.
The Prime Minister has called for a Royal Commission into the statue’s destruction.

Policing should be a service, not a force

Ram Ramzan

These obstacles include lack of representation, language, cultural barriers, and a significant lack of trust and fear. On contacting Victoria Police, they could not give me any diversity figures. Institutionalised racism should be eradicated and a police service should reflect the people they are policing in terms of demographics, ethnicity and gender. It is the only sure way of maintaining a rational and human response to social injustice, and the people they serve.

ABC HELPS CHINA TO WHITE-ANT 'RACIST' AUSTRALIA

The ABC trawled for complaints from Chinese Australians: "Racism amid COVID-19 pandemic: The ABC wants to hear your story." It then beat up the results: :Hundreds of people from across the country wrote in to tell us they had either witnessed or been involved in racially charged incidents." Now China takes up the attack.

Andrew Bolt the tragic Islamophobic who trawled the planet looking for violent crimes committed by Muslims to generalise from and draw conclusions about Muslims here in Australia. Here he is calling the kettle black complaining because the ABC has been flooded by complaints from Chinese. Australians and their first-person accounts on how racism in the media has promoted China-hatred.  Andrew Bolt and his ilk at News Corp have been the ones who have affected their lives here the most with their return to amplifying Hansonite hate towards Asians here as they dis Muslims and Africans. They hid when the shit hit the fan and the Muslim massacre occurred in NZ. Bolt certainly slid under his rock. One only need note Bolt's and News Corp's collection of columns, blogs and TV presentations to formulate why the Chinese might advise their people what they might expect to hear and the consequences of their messages supporting a fruitcake of a US president's political strategy to create China hate and Nth Korean love.

 In typical fashion Andrew Bolt tries to brush all that aside to raise his head over the parapet and try to blame the ABC rather than himself for the impact we have seen from China. Their crime they have given voice to Australian Chinese citizens and revealed just how successful Bolt's and News Corp's anti- China hate campaigns have been. Bolt's hoping for real violence to occur as it did in NZ so he can really go to town letting the world know just how much resentment there is here for allowing Asians into his white western European country and the ABC welcoming them.

China doesn't have to white-ant  Racist Australia Andrew Bolt's been doing that act since he backed off the Africans and Muslims here but don't worry it's to draw attention away from the overwhelming support BLM has had around the world and what a failed state the US is fast becoming.

 

 

SHOULDN'T RACE RIOTERS TEAR DOWN MARX'S STATUE, TOO?

London Mayor Sadiq Khan now joins the protesters tearing down statues, removing one of a slave owner. Black Lives Matter protesters have listed around 60 statues it wants taking down for celebrating racists, colonialists and killers. Odd, but missing from their list is the famous London statue of anti-semite Karl Marx, the architect of mass murder.

 Free speech crusader does see speech and thoughts as" actions "deserving of accountability and violent reaction. Marx the ideas man stands in Bolt's eyes shoulder to shoulder with criminal slave traders that actually practised their racial beliefs. There is hypocrisy shown in Bolt's demand to physically tear down the statue of a macro social and historical thinker like Karl Marx. Whose influence is as great as Christ's and Mohammed's. It shows Bolt to be a knee jerk small-minded thinker that turns and grasps anything in a storm for attention but no argument.

As for Marx, he was a Jew and a grand thinker who asked what brought about historical change. Now that's a violent question as far as Bolt is concerned. That change was to be determined by the systems we put in place particularly those related to our material needs and not individuals. That the evolution of Capitalism developed with the British East India joint-stock Company and factories which had inbuilt contradictions that would inevitably change the system. Yet Bolt says that Marx a Jew was an anti-semite and the architect of mass murder.

Strange that the natural home for postWW2 thinking Jews or Semites as Bolt calls them was Russia, the world's Communist Parties and the political left because the God bothering Christian nations like the Netherlands the Bolt's family origins and homeland were hellbent on eradicating them and actually practised and planned their mass murder. Post WW2 the Dutch lied and hid what they did creating the Anne Frank tale the myth about how they were really the protectors and saviours of Dutch Jews. 80% of Dutch Jews never survived WW2. The Dutch-led Europe in the eradication of their own people. Nothing to do with Bolt who loves everything Dutch more than he does  Australia.
