News Corporation employs Right-Wing Broadcasters providing them with a platform ensuring the inequality of speech. Their Social Media Platforms not only advocate conservative, and extreme right-wing wing views. They monitor out most opposing opinions which they are entitled to do. However, they also simply lie when they say they provide an arena for fair and balanced discussion in a no-spin zone. They don't it's all spin.
The Cayman Islands is the destination du jour for Australian hospitals and water profits but far more is bound for Bermuda. Michael West on tax haven risk for AMP Life policyholders and their $100 billion in assets.
Two weeks ago, when the buy-out merchants from Brookfield completed their takeover of Healthscope, control of 43 Australian hospitals passed to a company in the Cayman Islands whose directors are unknown. Two years ago, a record $80 million payment of taxpayer money for Australian water rights went to the Caymans, to investors unknown, still. Profits from Adani’s controversial coal mine, rail and port profits subsidised by Australian taxpayers, are destined for companies in the Caymans and the British Virgin Islands owned by the family of Indian billionaire Gautam Adani. And now, in a few months, should regulators approve it, the AMP Life business will be owned by an entity in Bermuda, like the Caymans, a secrecy jurisdiction with a corporate tax rate of zero.
A majority of Australian universities have improved in global rankings, with five appearing in the top 50 this year, but many are at the very bottom for one important measure.
Andrew Bolt sees them as a training ground for the left-wing where free speech isn't allowed. The rest of the world seems to think otherwise, and we all understand why Bolt failed to qualify and lies about his education on his CVs.
PAYWALL Chancellors and Vice Chancellors are in natural opposition to each other. Chancellors see the universities as a business and as such care for the relationship with those that fund them. Currently, if they could, they'd reduce Universities into fake vocational institutions and rid universities of the Humanities and Classics altogether. Vocational and utilitarian courses preferred. Vice Chancellors, on the other hand, protect the very meaning of what universities are about, and that's learning for learning sake of learning ideas and research peer-reviewed.
Yet Bolt wants to deregulate campuses and reduce them to political yelling matches and not places of reasoned debate, and mocks Eva Cox for the very thing he demands himself "mannered debate". He's jumped the gutter not fo a principle but a side, but that's Bolt.
Australian Universities are highly respected global institutions today 5 are in the top 50 and Bolt is insistent that they no longer be. He wants it seems anybody and everybody on campus to create a free for all for what purpose? To simply disrupt with anything there's a consensus on with which he disagrees.
He wants staff sacked books burned anything he deems the heretical left-wing. However, the left-wing, while they exist, don't, and Eva Cox reflects that. To destroy the research and scientific methods used and questioned by even the inexperienced in the field is Bolt's goal. To destroy the very nature of "a degree "and reduce it to little more than opinion studied without data or evidence necessary. It seems if Andrew Bolt can't get a degree himself and the respect that goes with it, nobody else should have one either. Sorry Bolt you will need more than that to gain respect.
Football fans are now the totalitarian-left. Is that because Andrew Bolt has his back so much to the wall that everyone before him here is Left -Wing? It shows that the level of paranoia of the radical Right, in this case, Bolt has reached pathological heights. It's also clear then why Bolt doesn't holiday in Australia and doesn't want to retire here but prefers the Democratic Socialist state of the Netherlands instead. He even has dual citizenship. But more it demonstrates his hypocrisy.
Note the respect Bolt has for Dodd but none for Aboriginal Cultures. The mocking of Aboriginal Culture by Andrew Bolt " Greens hate coal-fired power stations but hail Aborigines as the font of ancient wisdom. So what will they say to an Aboriginal boss wanting to build one of those coal-fired things on his traditional lands? "Bolt
Respect is non-existant for any other Cultures as far as Bolt is concerned their difference from his and offers nothing in the way wisdom to him. The fact is a "good" black, indigenous person is one wanting a coal-fired power plant because he must have been assimilated. This is typical of Bolt cherry picking "coconuts" to parade on his show to his white audience and calling out that a job was well done. Very Simon Legree, isn't he?
However, the truth is the generalisation that springs form this "traditional land owners want coal-fired power plants" is FakeNews.
" The Federal Court yesterday said doctors don't even have to speak to an illegal immigrant " Australia signed an International agreement to protect "Asylum Seeker" so by our own laws there are no "illegals" on Manus or Nauru and never has been. Those that are there were duty bound by Australia to care for them by that agreement while their claims were being processed. Bolt's "illegals" are allowed to flood in through Peter Dutton's front doors and not even seek asylum. What's been kept secret is just how broken Dutton's management of our front doors has been. While media like Bolt misdirect attention away from the disaster, Dutton has helped create.
1m So let's support Bolt in his cause to never forget why if anyone commits a crime or is simply found guilty and not acquitted. Andrew Bolt is an infamous Australian Racist and vilifier of Indigenous Australians and has never been acquitted of his crimes, yet he thinks the opposite but is never as generous to others who have been found guilty in the past. Bolt reminds us all of the past sins of other making the term forgive and forget rendering Justice meaningless. For Bolt, retribution is forever except for himself.
That's the promise of "personal revenge" talking "Tony Abbott has told colleagues he is determined to stay in politics until Malcolm Turnbull is gone, promising he will be there to help pick up the pieces “when” the Prime Minister’s leadership falls apart."Abbott
There isn't a single note humility or change in that sentiment. However, remember Bolt running around like headless chook telling us he got the message and has changed he promised me he'd changed!! "Liberal MPs are pressing Malcolm Turnbull to strip Christopher Pyne of his position as Leader of the House."Andrew Probyn. Might they be the MPs from the Monkey Pod room? God talk about people caught talking with loose lips they are calling for Dutton Mr. Boomgate to take Pyne's place. Was Dutton ever punished?"A minister told the ABC that Mr. Pyne, who is Defence Industry Minister, should be replaced as Leader of the House, perhaps by Peter Dutton." Probyn Why do these people always remain unnamed? It goes to show however the ABC isn't as biased to the left as Bolt makes out it's who Probyn works for.
As for Catholics and Education, the Catholic Authorities admitted their opposition to Gonski was little more than an ambit claim tactic and they were pleased with the result. Pyne was right all along. Mr. Nope Nope Nope lives in the dark recesses of the Liberal Party.
The Battle between FOX Breitbart and CNN. Unless Bolt knows what the FBI has discovered he knows nothing. Breitbart is known for fake news and Fox is out to defend it's favored position with Trump any which way it can. Fox News has become Trump News and we know what that means for the truth. Media is a rating game in the US and they rue the fact that they don't have an Independent News Service created such as the ABC. Ratings have little or nothing to do with truth as we fully well know with our daily experience with Andrew Bolt. News Corp is the least trusted disseminator of News in Australia. All we have here is to liars warring with each other. Thank god we have Aunty. The origins of Bolt's story and media war was sparked by Jame's Okeefe whose reputation is explained here James O’Keefe’s latest attempt to expose CNN is a sad, attention-seeking mess blog June 27, 2017 5:43 PM EDT
and the Trump administration has lauded with the support of FOX and News Corp. When Andrew Bolt promotes himself as educated at Adelaide University when in fact he dropped out ofailed after first year and declares his Bookk as one actually put out by the IPA and edited by Alan Moran in which Bolt merely has an article. What kind of journalist/commentator are we expected to think he really is? " Viewers will probably believe what they hear, though: a CNN staffer with no involvement in CNN’s political coverage (this isn’t mentioned in the video) speculating casually about CNN’s reporting on Trump’s possible involvement with Russia. The video also showed the same CNN producer claiming CNN makes reporting decisions based on ratings, a shameful tactic that’sreallyno secretat all -- and one that doesn't account for warranted, extensive reporting on an undeniably important story." O’Keefe’s videos often fall flat and rarely match their billings. He has had to issue public apologies, been arrested for trespassing, and foiled his own plots, yet his videos have been promoted by the president of the United States. O’Keefe also regularly incites his loyal internet followers to practice their own brand of “investigative journalism.” His latest attempt -- a nearly nine-minute video called “American Pravda: CNN Producer Says Russia Narrative “bullsh*t" -- is yet another sign that O’Keefe has no actual interest in reporting the truth, but instead produces video art projects for the sole purpose of getting attention from one of his biggest fans, President Donald Trump.
The privatized energy sector has been a disaster the gas we have has been sold and now the Liberals are calling for the state control of the gas supply. Isn't that the core value the Liberals deny the socialization of energy? Seems to me we need to socialize many more things that the Liberals Sate and Commonwealth refuse to consider.
Bolt doesn't explicitly say he stole this story from Fairfax does he?
When Bolt was found guilty of vilification and was due to be sentenced he had the full force of News Corp behind him both financially and as a character reference as well no doubt. Waleed Aly is a member of the Richmond football club and entitled to stand up for Houli, so is Andrew Bolt it's noted that Bolt wasn't asked to provide any reference for Houli and it's clear that if asked he wouldn't have. However last year he was praising him as if he were a pet dog and telling us Houli was an exception among Muslims a well bred one a reference it wasn't because it came from Bolt. It may as well have come from Pauline or the leader of the UPF.
Now given Houli wasn't facing the judiciary but the AFL tribunal and given Turnbull knows what Houli does for the community outside of football Bolt seems extremely petty and small minded ,just point scoring knowing full well he doesn't pass the character test of most Australians. Respect is raised for those that don't stand up for him, not those that do and what a minority they are.
"If they are Somalian, they or their parents were almost certainly brought here as refugees."Bolt
Accusative with the admission he doesn't know. However, it reminds me of the photo of Bolt the brawler in Carlton. He attacked 2 young pranksters that glittered him. I don't think people in glass houses should throw stones. Here is the warning Bolt ignored Heart surgeon dies month after alleged one-punch assault
Conflating such two disconnected issues. One same-sex marriage a human rights issue against who at this point in time should be our team leader. A tactical issue in the game of politics. With a third issue if and when a change is forced who would you prefer as leader a question of conscience. None of these have anything to do with "loyalty" after all Pyne wasn't married to Abbott or in any other way connected other than they were both members of a "broad church" Pyne fought tooth and nail to get Abbott elected and it's good to note he wasn't just his lap dog. If No Religion is Australia's greatest Census category of faith coupled with Non Christian religions how can we deem to be a Christian Country rather than simply a Secular one?
It seems people like Bolt have just been Bulls..tting us and Christianity ought to be taken out of our school curriculums or religious teaching should be turned into comparative religious studies. Further what we are confronting is not a religious issue but a Human Rights issue with regard equality. It highlights the fact that Australia remains the only Democratic Country in the world without a Bill of Rights and why we sorely need the AHRC
Abbott's Conservatives attacking their own but don't have the balls to split. It seems there are no conservatives among the young Liberals and feels as if those in the Monkey Pod apse of the otherwise broad church are the ISIS of the Liberal Party and Australia. They are like broken eggs in a carton on the nose.
Bolt fails to mention the massive reduction that took place in Europe in 2016 compared to 2015. Nor doe he mention these aren't permanent but asylum seekers to be assessed. Yes Bolt is crying like Chicken Little in Europe which e can't fix or do anything about because Europe's elections were basically all won by moderates. This isn't information this is merely shit stirring in order to print that the conservatives stopped it here which isn't the case either. The boats had stopped coming under Labor when Abbott was refusing a deal with Malaysia which became a farce executed by him with Cambodia. The world in fact turned their backs on the man down under telling them what they ought to do. Has anybody noticed that Bolt has a strong apartheid attitude when it comes to Africans a Boer Afrikaner attitude as opposed to a British one
Bolt is Bolt illiterate look at this banner?Who said Abbott was a loyal back stabber oops, backbench-er. Who said they didn't want to raise Abbott from the grave. Andrew Bolt said it and Tony Abbott said it he wasn't Caesar. If you believe this bullshit why on earth would you even acknowledge the possibility of having the Aussie Trump back. I say Aussie Trump because while he can't match the bling he matches the lies even to himself.
Bolt has a funny way of advertising who was to be on his show but couldn't make it." Watch my coulda been great show" Milo and Hirsi Ali won't be there along with...... Hirsi Ali has cancelled for "security reasons" among other excuses according to Bolt. Firstly Bolt does interviews online all the time so lets count that excuse as bullshit that threats have prevented him from talking to her. Further his statement "And, indeed, the threats and abuse to the tour organisers have been astonishing " knowing Bolt sounds very much like hyperbole shoveling even more bullshit on given no specifics are mentioned and Bolt has a history of bull. The likelihood of Ms Ali's non attendance is the lack of bums on seats, ticket sales. She has been a product of profit for Think Inc on too many occasions previously here in Australia. It simply suggests this one is particularly different and has revealed she has bee over milked. Bolt an Ali publicist is doing for her and himself what he used to do for Milo. Remember Milo just went too far and Bolt backed off with no explanation of why. Milo was an international event and Bolt was just a fair weather friend. He doesn't mention Milo anymore.Here is Bolt with all the hysteria and bull he can muster when the truth is Bolt could pay for Ali to be interviewed tonight if he wanted. However his product has gone stale and because it wouldn't help his ratings he's dropped her too.All this abuse and blame poured on everyone left right and center in order to keep a fire burning that in the case of Hirsi Ali seems to have run out of fuel. It's all so unconvincing as as is Bolt is trying to throw gasoline on it. Nobody is stopping him from interviewing this woman who he claims is another Salmon Rushdie. Ali is a victim yes of the media and marketing that brought her to our attention in the first place and she has been double crossed by none than Sky. What's interesting is Bolt's inability to sell product he can only chase it he little more than a camp follower.The Media becomes the victim those in power become victims Bolt merely seems to apply a template to all his arguments and has a very limited number of those. In this case the media that is Bolt and his product are the victims of a much more insidious powerful force the mythical and organized people of the left bigger than Newscorp bigger than commercial interests all 400 academics who signed a petition. Bolt really thinks he's the master of the dark arts. When the Australian majority is in the top ten happiest in the world.

The celebration that was there last week seems to have faded from Bolt's tone when the polls showed a 10 pt spread. From celebration and excitement Bolt's sunk to a round shouldered expression of "It's pointless looking back"" it's the public's fault" they have switched off. The only person who sounds "switched off" no "pissed off" is Andrew Bolt
Bolt's ultra conservative panic is little more than a "gormless hoax" did any of the Conservatives walk out or complain at the game. Is what appears to be the the empty seats in his picture empty due to protest? I don't think so! Bolt's ultra conservatism is the sound of the whinging man the sound of an emperor with no clothes, bleating lost soul looking for a home not knowing where to go. Bolt's neither Australian nor Dutch Paraguay might offer him solace because Israel certainly wouldn't have a bar of him. He'd make them look worse than he does us.
The Dutch are far too green and warming attuned, too socially aware to have Bolt welcomed as the prodigal son. Bolt not only rejects the future but he stridently rejects the present as well hoping for a return to some bygone days when Fonzie once lived.
Yearning the past has become a political force according to Mark Triffit. Rapid change brought on by Globalization and Technology has brought on uncertainty " Everywhere, to their eyes, there is "fake" news, "fake" climate
science, "fake" behaviour and opinion (aka political correctness) and
even "fake" citizens (read non-white minorities).
Ultra -conservatives like Bolt ,Abbott,Abetz et al" Hanson and Bernardi have built their political power around amplifying
and legitimating this groundswell of disorientation and angst with the
21st century and an intense desire to retreat deep into the past." Their denial of Marriage Equality, Safe Schools is representative of their desperation to hold on to the past.
" The radical right imagines it can conjure up 1970s manufacturing jobs in an AI age. They obsess about isolating foreign cultures with walls in a digital age where isolation is impossible " "Ultimately the next 20 years promises far more hope, innovation and
inclusion than the distorted prism of the past through which the radical
right wants us to view it." Triffit
There was a time when the Labor Party of Australia was in the turmoil conservatives find themselves today. When the DLP broke from the ALP, to stand against the Atheist disease that the Communists were spreading. Menzies and the Liberals took opportunity of that division. The same is occurring now and is being engineered by Tony Abbott once a stalwart of DLP thought and he's fractured the conservative party. Instead of "reds under beds" Bolt and Hanson are running with "Islam is the disease". Bolt seems to portray Indigenous Australia alongside them given his pictorial. This is the attitude allowed the Menzies Government to standby and watch 1 million Indonesians get slaughtered when Liberals were very pro the Islam to save our bacon. Bolt and Hanson hate them now. This division took us to Vietnam and it seems today Atheists compared to Muslims are back in favor if a choice were made. "Better red with a head their catch phrase".
Bolt uses this to segues into his ridiculous persistence that Reverse Racism and anti- Christianity exist. This hatred is disguised as affirmative action any help offered to those considered lower on Bolt's social ladder is a form of a reversal of white privilege and therefore dangerous. Bolt never defines what his Australian flag actually represents however he is clear on what it doesn't. I do believe Bolt actually sees Australian heaven and the flag representing a time even before he was born a myth. The 50s early 60s he was 6-7 a time when he was actually Dutch a migrant kid in transition more Muslim than Australian more indigenous than the conservative myth he dreams of. It only goes to show that the dream sold and unreal lives on in the minds of ultra- conservative fools like Bolt. He's never experienced what it is he's talking about. However that 6 year old boy wasn't an Australian then didn't know or understand what it meant and it's been his thought bubble since which has amplified his own bias against immigrants. How can he know then what it is to be Australian today when he doesn't hang out with any not even his workmates. His wife Sally Morel is never seen with him it's as if she's wearing a Burka and doesn't want to be recognized. Very different from Waleed Aly's wife. Who is the more Australian couple?
I won't comment on Bolt's stolen Blog it wasn't written by him. It's the work of his Troll Peter BH who he falsely claims is just a "reader". I prefer to call it plagiarism.
The biggest problem with Peter BH's argument is that the extradition treaty has no qualifications attached. Qualifications that on a case by case basis allows both governments to reject any order. The great lie is that currently no request for extradition can be made. The Treaty allows for such requests Now Bolt the great advocate of "free speach" wants that dialogue to remain firmly shut why? Extradition orders can always be refused. Something Bolt and Peter BH seem to remain silent on
Self- serving post if ever there was one links simply to a Bolt rant on ABC bias it has no relevance to James Ashby unless of course you want to be reminded of the Abbott petulant ban on the ABC. You see neither like being questioned which is the nature of journalism and the essence of what Bolt calls bias. Bolt's link is all about Bolt how he has been employed as George Pell's PR manager calling that journalistic integrity.
As for the truth about ABC bias that was clearly answered last week by the newly appointed Chairman of the ABC who makes Andrew Bolt seem like a spoilt child.
Apparently we are all meant to be equal under British law except if your Sudanese says Andrew Bolt or Indigenous, Muslim, and whoever else Bolt takes exception to. Notice how Bolt generalizes without reference to the basis on which the court made it's decision. Only his judgement counts no separation between his opinion and the judiciary is allowed in Bolt's KKK land
Has anyone taken the time to follow the Royal Commission and the evidence presented. Andrew Bolt hasn't he hasn't taken into account any of the evidence especially the evidence presented by his "victims" at Don Dale . That evidence certainly revealed the bias that existed in the system the system and so strongly defended by Andrew Bolt. It's the Andrew Bolt's of the world whose defense of state sponsored crime in the media that requires these commissions to occur. They spread mistrust which results in the need of $50 million dollar hearings to take place. All Bolt has to offer is a factless "I told you so response". As if guards were just joking when asking kids to "suck my cock".
Andrew Bolt is a microbe less than a parasite on this planet. He asks what Castro did. Bolt the university failure ,the drop kick doesn't know. Castro Liberated Cuba created a country that's literate more so than Andrew Bolt. It's a country that provides free education so much so it's one of the most literate countries in the world. Cuba produces and exports doctors to the rest of the world. Wherever there's a crisis you will find Cuban medical professionals when shamefully you won't find Australians. During the Ebola scare it was Bolt defending Abbott for doing nothing. It's a country where Ventolin is 0.10cents unlike America where it's $110 why? Because big corporate Pharma controls the price in the USA and the government obliges. It's a country that exports education Cubans are teaching Indigenous Australians and theyhaven't seen worse conditions anywhere than here. Prisons Bolt is so ignorant as to either not know or is hiding the fact that unlike Cuba it's the land of the free America that has a greater proportion of it's population in jail than Cuba. It has a far greater rate of gun violence and murder than Cuba.Yes Bolt is an ignorant. 80 million people in America are receiving welfare and that's increasing at the same time welfare is being cut. Nobody has to worry in Cuba. Bolt's truly is a mental midget if he believes Cubans are unhappy. Their poverty isn't because of Castro's Socialism but the 50 year plus trade embargo placed on it because of America. Get a life Bolt get an education. "kill, jail, enslave and impoverish enough people and you, too, could get the coverage" Bolt Check the stats on kill, jail and impoverish Bolt and check out what we are doing to indigenous Australians. What did Howard accomplish when he sent us to Iraq?
Farewell Fidel Castro they wont be dancing in the streets in Cuba tonight and farewell Che.
Andrew Bolt demands we normalize Trump and "Make America Great Again" He even rails against those metaphors and similes that attempt to suggest a correlation of any sort can be made between the two. Reality on the other hand shows the opposite. Bolt is trying to play Goebbles to Trump's Hitler in the Media narrative down under

26 Nov Talk about how to distort a story Bolt does it with racist and bigoted decision. My parents arrived iin Australia and learn't to speak English. Never mind they spoke 3-4 other languages. But English 3-4 years after their arrival was not yet their first language and it definitely wasn't at home. Bolt amplifies that and makes out it is some outrage that young Aborigines in remote and I mean remote areas speak their native language as their first and not English. It hardly seems abnormal to me given the trouble Bolt's ability to speak English gets him in. I for one certainly find that he has a glaring inability to communicate with most Australians. Case in point he goes around maintaining he is more indigenous than Petrevski-Seton. Than he has even greater ties to the land than he does.
Bolt's distortion that Sam couldn't speak English is as bigoted as somebody laughing at his parents because they had accents. Seton spoke English it just didn't happen to be Bolt English which by the way sounds Sth African and certainly not Australian. Rest assured there are plenty of areas in English when spoken Andrew Bolt would not have a clue what was being said.
" Sam Petrevski-Seton will tell you that one of his biggest challenges
in moving to Perth three years ago was remembering to speak standard
Australian English, rather than the Kriol he used back home in Halls
Creek.Standing in the vast Kimberley landscape, watching the
setting sun cast a red glow over all it touches, the words he chooses to
reflect on home are closer to poetry. “You’ve got to be proud of
where you come from, feel that love inside that your home provides you
with,” Petrevski-Seton, 17, said. “We don’t have much like the people have in the city." His parents Angeline and Chris have both lived in Halls Creek nearly all
their lives and admit there’s nowhere they’d rather have raised Cody,
Sam, their brother CJ and sister Angel.
“If you actually come here and get to know the people, it’s not a bad place.”
What Bolt prefers to do is make sure that remote Australia and places like Halls Creek have more than a share of bad press describing these Kimberley towns as simply lawless
Australia.
Look for Bolt abusing Seton for being a boong as he did Adam Goodes.
It its the case of the pot calling the kettle black. The fact is Julia Gillard was forces to deal with hostile Senates. Obama dealt with a hostile Congress they didn't whinge. The whinging started if full force when Abbott was elected PM. In fact Bolt almost had us believe Labor was governing the country. You mettle is in shutting up and getting on with the job Gillard did and Turnbull isn't whinging. Abbott's complaining is still ringing in my ears.
Bolt uses the term "percieved " to be African so often that he simply believes he must be right "some" of the time. When he is wrong you never hear a word from Bolt Remember the Toorak Jewellery store robbery. The bandits were so covered it was impossible for anybody to suggest who or what the robbers were yet Bolt was certain. On other occasions criminals have turned out to be New Zealanders doesn't matter to Bolt. They were black therefore Africans. Scapegoating comes natural to Andrew Bolt whose heritage is a long line of scapegoaters. Aalesmere Holland from where the Bolts originated whose still have strong ties socially culturally and one can assume psychologically is from where Andrew Bolt 2nd generation Australian derives much of his personality. Aalesmere is Holland's center of Nazi sympathy and Jewish hatred. Just because Andrew Bolt was born here doesn't excuse him from the racist attitudes culturally inherited. The Calvinist certainty of being one of the elect few chosen for paradise. How Muslim is that mind set? Peter Dutton reminded us just how 2 & 3rd generation Lebanese can't rid themselves of their cultural influences and Bolt agrees what makes him think he can shrug off his?
Bongiorno of Italian extraction is far more Catholic in his attitudes far more generous than Bolt ever shown himself to be. He understands crime is an individual matter and not a racist or ethnic one which throughout Australia's history people took advantage of.
26 Nov "No journalist has tried harder than David Marr to smear Cardinal George
Pell as a liar who covered up for pedophile priests and even enabled
their crimes. The evidence against Pell is actually melting away. "Bolt
Bolt is quite ready to smear the Lebanese, the South Sudanese and even Africans if black and he does smear these communities. He's a classic smearer of individuals simply if he associates them with any group he's taken on board to stigmatize. Waleed Aly the apologist Muslim and even his wife have been maligned by Bolt in the worst of possible ways largely because they are Muslims not people. But priests have been hidden and protected by the Catholic church hierarchy for the worst of transgressions the sexual molestation of children. Bolt hypocritically decries the same stereotyping and logic applied to Pell. He is a unique individula needs to be seen as such. Priestly sins are also to be seen as individual acts. There is nothing Catholic that enabled these horrors to go on. However Aly's acts need to be seen in terms of their religion in fact who they are needs to be according to Bolt. Sounds very much a contradiction to me. These opposites are a constant pattern in Bolt's perspective so how no earth can he suggest Marr can't do the same if that's what it is he's doing?
"That is a disgusting slur. Indeed, I am a friend and
supporter of perhaps the most well-known transgender Australian,
Catherine McGregor, who been a most welcome guest on my show." 1 doubt they have a deep and personal friendship but more a political alliance. I doubt McGregor has been invited to Bolt's home. Here Bolt even sounds like Donald Trump would it be Bolt doing the suing or would he be asking Newscorp to foot the bill on his behalf? I can't see Bolt spending his money on such a risk especially given what he's boldly and loudly said against the Safe School programs. Bolt denies and vociferously declares the danger to good heterosexual children of any such programs. He simply turns his back on the current psychological damage done to transgender children in the cultural environment he defends so stridently.
From the outside looking in there appears to be a lot of Trump like huffing and puffing going on here. " I would like a public and prompt apology. This is most certainly not how
the gay marriage movement wins friends or arguments, and it is a
further disgrace that on the basis of this smear Michael Barnett is
demanding the MidSumma Festival turn down the sponsorship of News Corp.
Gays must now suffer for Barnett's intolerance and smears?"Bolt
