Morrison is right – but not for his vacuous rhetoric. Future generations will judge us on what we deliver. Just as they judge us today on what we do rather than whatever our government might say – and then pretend it didn’t say or try to crabwalk away from. The inaction of this government to honour its obligations to its citizens in its travel ban on those trapped in India – or its chicanery on energy or climate change, its betrayal of its stewardship, or duty of care of the planet for future generations, is an indictment of its motives to seek and hold power for its own sake and a travesty of democratic principle and responsibility to its people. It is also a declaration of moral bankruptcy.

We were meant to be a bi-political parliamentary system. However when one party ignores that reality in a grab for power for power's sake and forgoes the task of policy making moving forward then what else is the consequence? An intended rise not in the interests of a nation but in the rise to Fascism.

Scott Morrison's Govt has been caught out pork barrelling & rorting taxpayer money again, this time through the Building Better Regions Fund. Incredibly, the Liberals and Nationals made sure that 143 of these grants were funnelled into their own electorates 👇
Just like sports rorts & dodgy land deals, the Morrison Govt is using taxpayers' money like it's their own.
We may never know which Australian communities missed out because of Liberal and National rorting.
What we do know is that Scott Morrison is all about himself, and doesn't really care about you. He's not interested in what you want or need. He's not on your side. He's only in it for himself.

In the last eight years of Coalition governing ...almost half the original Coalition ministry have moved into government appointed roles, or are busy lobbying their former colleagues for government funds. Among them:
Tony Abbott – appointed to the War Memorial Board.
Warren Truss – appointed to the Australian Rail Track Corporation.
Julie Bishop – member of the aid contractor, Palladium board.
George Brandis – appointed UK high commissioner.
Joe Hockey – Ambassador to the US.
Mitch Fifield – appointed UN ambassador.
Arthur Sinodinos – appointed US ambassador at the end of Joe Hockey’s term.
Christopher Pyne – former defence minister now lobbyist for defence contractors.
Influential Tasmanian conservative powerbroker Eric Abetz has been demoted to third place on the party's senate ticket in a shock preselection vote.
It could signal the end of Mr Abetz's almost three-decade senate career, given that third place on the ticket is difficult to win.
Mr Abetz lost votes to outer ministry senate colleague Jonno Duniam in first place, and senator Wendy Askew in second.…

FAKE NEWS AND MISINFORMATION EXPOSED

 

 'There's one thing I really want to see in the federal budget tomorrow': Bolt

‘There’s one thing I really want to see in the federal budget tomorrow’: Bolt

 Sky News host Andrew Bolt says the “one thing” he really wants to see in tomorrow’s federal budget is spending to “give us a proper quarantine system”. “So Australians can travel again,” Mr Bolt said. “For more than a year Australia has been like the old Soviet Union, you can't travel overseas unless some bureaucrat says ‘okay, we'll let you go’”. “Because our quarantine system cannot cope when too many of us come back," Mr Bolt said. “It staggers me that more than a year after it was clear that we needed quarantine centres, that we are still relying on hotels, hotels that weren't built for quarantining people and most of which are actually right in the middle of our biggest cities. “So that if there is a breakout of the virus, millions of people are immediately at risk. “Obviously that's got to change. It's got to change. I hope to see that change in the budget. "Or are we really going to be trapped in Australia for years to come.” 

 Bolt's concern is not for "us" at all it's about Bolt himself. "So Australians can travel again" is not really a concern of his not for Australians anyway. It's so Andrew Bolt might travel again and escape Australia where he's not appreciated and spends a great deal of time in hiding. Australia hasn't been like nor isn't like the Soviet Union at all. Rather Bolt has put himself into personal quarantine by choice, his job and mindset. 

Bolt was one of the first media voices to tell us precautions weren't necessary as Covid-19 was little more than the common flu. We didn't need the severe lockdowns imposed on us by Dan Andrews. Somehow he's now reversed that moronic message without admitting that the misinformation he spent broadcasting for over a year was wrong. Back then only persons in need of protection were the aged and with preexisting conditions like diabetes. Otherwise, we actually needed to accelerate to a state of 'herd immunity' with a devil may care approach to COVID-19. Yet Andrew Bolt certainly didn't practice what he preached did he? He spent his days as he normally does isolating from us all in the gulag of his own making. 

Bolt is a Europhile a dual Dutch/Australian citizen who'd prefers to live in the Netherlands than he does here " Or are we really going to be trapped in Australia for years to come.” Bolt's genuinely terrified and believes he's "trapped". Of course he's reluctant to admit that too loudly or too often bu it's really the way he feels because that's the way he was raised, as a misfit. As usual it's all about Bolt first, and us second. He's such a hypocritical whinger broadcasting he was escaping Melbourne for good. Now he's trapped on the Mornigton peninsula. Always complaining how over crowded Melbourne was an undesirable multicultural wasteland kidnapped by the left. Well he's in WASP land now and doesn't feel at home. He told us he prefer Amsterdam which has double the population is much more multicultural, and is far, far more fucking socialist than were he is trapped now. The man is not one of us and nor is he Dutch he's what we regard as a true wanker who no matter where he was would feel trapped with himself..

 Available data ‘firmly in favour’ of theory COVID-19 came from a lab in Wuhan

Available data ‘firmly in favour’ of theory COVID-19 came from a lab in Wuhan

While no firm conclusion about the theories surrounding COVID-19 can be arrived at, available data is “fairly firmly in favour” of the virus coming from the lab at Wuhan, according to science writer and editor Nicholas Wade. “In the Wuhan lab they were taking bat coronaviruses – that’s the same kind as the SARS-CoV-2 virus – and they were swapping in and out the spike protein from related coronaviruses,” he told Sky News host Andrew Bolt. “They were trying to get a virus that was most infective for humans.” 

 Why is this old Trump cherry being reraised on The Bolt's Report? Will this narrative help rid the planet of the virus no! Is it a Bolt vaccine that makes him feel safer? It's purpose is purely political and nothing more. It's to denigrate Fauci who works for Biden and blame China the eyes of the world. It's there to create an enemy and divide us. It's what the racist 'elect' have done time and time again for the past 500 years. 

Yes, it's one and the same Dr Fauci that made Trump look a racist fool for blame of the Chinese for his political mismanagement of the pandemic in the USA. Bolt's using Nicholas Wade "a science writer" not even a scientist to try and bring down America's leading immunologist. " Before Covid-19 ravaged the world, Dr. Anthony Fauci’s National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases funded coronavirus research that included work at China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology. The idea was to study the ability of such viruses to attack humans, but could a Fauci-funded experiment actually be the source of the deadly global infection? In an exhaustive account of the viral possibilities published this week by the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, Nicholas Wade argues that the Chinese lab is the most likely source of the world-wide agony." The use of Wade is about as convincing as using Bolt claiming to be a world expert on Climate Science and prove that the consensus that the planet is warming is simply alarmist.

What is being done here is an attempt to use Wade's credentials not as a scientist, researcher or immunologist but as a writer to boost the Republican's political effort to prove Fauci America's most trusted head of Immunology actually funded the lab which from which COVID came. "Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) in Wuhan, China collaborated with the Chinese military in conducting classified research, including laboratory animal experiments.” All without proof that the transmissiblity of this disease originated with a Democrat. 

It's an approach no a tactic used by the GOP Republicans before when they convinced America to invade Iraq for oil. They faked a claim that Saddam was creating and hiding WMDs Weapons of Mass Destruction and with Murdoch media's assistance boosted that thought to invade Iraq for a domestic political advantage and give Bush Jnr a second term. Just as Bolt has been doing to spread China hate like COVID.

The Spanish flu was never Spanish if anything it's origins were American. Bolt however, has never been slightly interested in correcting that story or the one about German measles and so many other diseases named to blame others and not just humans for their cause. Correcting, comparing those past illnesses with what Bolt is doing now would simply help expose his politicization of COVID-19. 

 Fauci responds to the bullshit put out by Carlson Rand Paul and Andrew Bolt who mimics them as if he he's in the know in Australia.

In a repeat performance, Sen. Rand Paul uses QAnon conspiracy theories to question Dr. Fauci. #FAIL.

 Government set to deliver a 'Labor-like budget'

Government set to deliver a ‘Labor-like budget’

 Sky News host Andrew Bolt says the federal government is set to deliver a "Labor-like budget" tomorrow. "In a lot of ways, it's hard to distinguish this from a Labor budget," Mr Bolt said. 

Bolt on occasions proves he's just a media sheep a hack who runs with the pack. It shows he's not a leader, runs last, and just repeats what other have to say even the left. However they say ever so more clearly such as Ben Davison who does it from his backyard shed in Ballarat.  You can hear Ben on the The Week on Wednesday commenting on the budget here. https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/weekend-wrap-may-9-2021/id1528299411?i=1000520900527 

 

Ben and Van's podcast from that backyard shed with their dog make  Bolt's News Corp produced commentary look like what it is crap. He's eating their dust as far as ratings are concerned and being left so far behind when it comes to intelligent podcasts. Ben's information and summing up in less than 10 minutes long. His weekly wrap is the very opposite of what Bolt claims to offer and that's on any topic.

Afghanistan faces an ‘explicit assault’ on the rights of young women

Afghanistan faces an ‘explicit assault’ on the rights of young women

 Spiked Online Editor Brendan O’Neill says Afghanistan is facing an “explicit assault” on the rights of young women after a bomb attack on a school in Kabul. The attack was conducted by suspected Islamists and killed at least 68 students – the majority of which were young girls. “What a vile act that was, a real vile act of misogynistic barbarism," Mr O'Neill told Sky News host Andrew Bolt. “I think this should be the biggest story in the world, when school girls are assaulted in this grotesque way, there really should be more discussion about it.” 

In the meantime if we turn to to Afghanistan we can forget the fact that women are raped and molested by the minute in Australia and the UK. That Andrew Bolt spends his time declaring men are the real victims of false accusations by women because of nearly 50,000 known cases put to the police and made public only 2% are convicted. It's Bolt's there were never any Stolen Children all over again. What goes on behind closed doors out of sight in Australia doesn't exist. What goes on in our cults, underground sex industry and upper class suburbs is just rumours. Yes, other places can be pointed to as being worse Afghanistan the Philipines etc but does that mean we are entitled to be declared innocent? Our deviance is an exception while their is the norm.

War zones are notorious  barbarous places as we saw in the Balkans and what Christians did there. Genocide was just a word that hides the detailed facts of what was done to women. Israel kills children today and it's sanctione training yet they deny it even when it's filmed. Bolt and O'Neill are so typical of Western apologists who distract by telling us to "look over there" aren't they? Bolt is an enabler, an inspiration for violence committed here and in NZ. He's a far-right extremist influencer and recruiter that even ASIO can't shut up because he's "the media". Currently the most dangerous groups in the country according to ASIO are the right-wing extremists that Andrew Bolt has given air time to. But Bolt so saintly isn't he? A media Elmer Gantry owned and blessed by it's corporate God Rupert and his son. When it comes calling out "islamists" for "misogynistic barbarism" he's provided a privileged platform. 

Meanwhile Andrew Bolt supports our presence and assistance in the mass murder of women and children in Yemen, Syria, and other places where we don't belong and keeps telling us there should be more of it because we are out there 'saving people' and keeping us safe
