The toppling of statues overseas might give Australia pause to reconsider who we celebrate

Meanwhile, a long-overdue and bigger discussion is warranted on whether older statues and monuments should be removed – or amended to include the broader uglier, truths about their subjects. Discuss ...

The names of killers of Indigenous people have been removed from Australian electorates and buildings. Just as statues can – as the City of London has proven in recent days – be removed.

No statue or monument must stand eternal.

RACE RIOTS; HOW ABC LETS RACE BAITERS PREACH FIRE

COLUMN On Monday the ABC broadcast yet again — unchallenged — an incitement of violent race protest here, too. What followed on a program laughably called “Hard Truths” was yet another example of how our civilisation being destroyed from within — its history trashed, its people vilified and its crimes invented.

And it is by those who for centuries like Bolt have presented "Style" more important than "Meaning". Bolt could well be a member of the French aristocracy or a slave owner in the deep south of the USA all maintained a tin ear to what resulted in the French Revolution and the American Civil War. The French elite also that manners were being destroyed as was the Southern way of life in America.

They all too believed Civilisation was being destroyed from within history trashed and it's heroes vilified. Bolt applauds the British East India Company and it's global slave-trading enterprise piracy and international drug cartel. Bolt doesn't believe that history has a responsibility to the truth but rather to myth and the upholding of the elite and status quo. His favourite music would have him celebrate the lives of great men like Hitler and Mussolini never the peoples choice the Internationale that stirs the hearts of the masses. 

The ABC is a threat to Bolt because it promotes critical thought and democratises opinion the very opposite of what Bolt is paid to do. The organisation he works for has no investment in the nation or Australia just profit and those in power and with the same vested interest. The IPA and the LNP bent on defunding Australia's most essential services. Jobs, Housing Education and Health while promoting the privatisation of the ever-increasing poverty businesses selling debt to ever-increasing numbers to survive. Our biggest advertisers and lobbyists are Banks, pay-day lenders, unemployment services all currently booming.
