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 flash flood in the northern Indian state of Uttarakhand has killed at least 12 people, with fears for 170 more.
The
latest data on the world's temperature is a surprise. Didn't Greta
Thunberg claim the warming was so much that we faced "mass extinctions"?
But the bad news is that saying what the temperature actually was last
month is just cruising for a bruising. Andrew Bolt
What Bolt the white supremacist thinks of the 3rd World and climate change. The climate denier who works for a Corporate denier and who is really fake expert regards this as "just a bruising". Possibly because no white were involved. In the meantime he tries to distract you and I with data from Roy Spencer without acknowledging him as his source. Guess it's why Bolt failed First Year Uni dropped out of journalism to become a bullshit artist dressed up as a commentator for a corporate lobbyist. After all Murdoch doesn't appear to be in the business here for profit.(ODT)

40m Confiscation under the guise of a national emergency is confiscation. Then the flip and quick sale to a competitor is akin to an organized mafia scam. First, you see it then you don't because News Corp will cover it up as something entirely different. Bolt certainly allowed Abbott the time to do so, in fact, he had more time than Bolt allows others. We also keep hearing the word debate on the Bolt Report yet we never see one. For that, we are forced to the ABC. Confiscation is hardly conservative it is even so far to the right that it's, in fact, fascist and entirely contradictory to what the LNP free-market political ideology represents. Abbott literally said it was the government's duty to police prices as if we were at war. Well, we aren't at war and this, as much as Abbott would have it, isn't an emergency it is just another Chicken Little scare tactic which we have seen time and again.
Here we have Andrew Bolt promoting Tony Abbott's call for a action more Cuban, a move on AGL's dirty, obsolete, Liddel power plant. Fidel Castro simply took over the United Fruit Company's sugar plants liberating Cuba from the slavery of the American corporation's oppression of Cuba. How communist of them. The problem is nobody is oppressed Abbott simply wants to the government to confiscate it and handball it to Alinta or some other company ready to do his bidding and that's a Mafia act.
Abbott has done a lot of stupid things since gaining, losing power and now trying to regain power over the LNP. He got rid of a mining tax to allow mining to flourish. It didn't. It cut costs and began shrinking instead. He said nope to Labour's concept of a brand new fibre to the home internet and created an MXT NBN a Frankenstinian monster that doesn't work and whose cost has blown out of proportion so much it can't ever recoup the money invested. It is obsolete before completion. Now he's trying to tell us that a transition to green energy will never be a cost-effective, cleaner healthier energy source left to our kids. That it's is far more expensive than coal.
He is using the hip pocket argument that horse and carriage depots used when cars were first seen on roads. They too were a waste of time that prices will go through the roof and Australians can't afford to leave their kids with a cleaner environment and a healthier one that was the horse and carriage. However, the Corporate experts in Science, Technology, Business Finance have all said he's wrong as too have the shareholders in coal and abandoning ship. So why is he trying to destroy AGL he's proven he's just a failed politician.
Since Abbott came to power in 2013 Australia's unemployment has been rising not falling our deficit growing and he passed the least number of bills at a slower rate almost breaking Gorton's record in the 60s. TodayAustralian workers wages are stagnant and Abbott was the catalyst. Peoples hip pockets are vulnerable. No doubt in the short term cutting energy bills sounds good but we have a history of Abbott's promises and ideas not working. Short-term policies to get numbers on side simply means don't do anything progress is dangerous, so call in the government and stop it. How authoritarian can one get? Should the AGL board be arrested? If the government can force corporations to dance to their tune and Abbott is the example why on earth would corporations even bother to invest here?
Abbott also wants the ABC closed down and sold as well strange the ABC refuses to sell to News Corp like AGL does to Alinta. They wouldn't sell it to Murdock at any price. The hypocrisy is evident. First force AGL and the ABC to sell to the government then to anyone the government chooses. How Castro of them. It doesn't matter how Bolt spins this there is nothing "free" in the action no principle being adhered to simply self-interested politics not what's best for the nation.
UPDATE
WHAT ABBOTT AND BOLT DON'T TELL YOU. ADANI OFFERED THE INDIAN GOVERNMENT HIS BRAND NEW STATE OF THE ART BILLION DOLLAR POWER PLANT FOR 0. 05 cents.
HE"S NOW OFFERING IT TO ANYONE. WHY DON"T ABBOTT AND BOLT BUY IT?
Over the last year, wind and solar power tariffs have fallen to a record low of around Rs2.4 per unit, much lower than the average of Rs3.7 per unit at which analysts say coal-based power is currently being sold on India’s power exchanges.
ADANI
Initially, Adani had planned to run its own vertically integrated “pit-to-plug” operation, taking coal from the Galilee basin, transporting it to Adani-owned power stations in India, and increasing profits by cutting out middlemen. Up to 16m tonnes, a year from the proposed Queensland mine was earmarked for the Mundra power plant in Gujarat.
But Mundra has since fallen into serious financial difficulty, making the “pit-to-plug” vision largely untenable. Adani’s subsidiary Adani Power has a net debt of about US$7bn. Last year it offered to sell majority control in the Mundra power station to a government entity for one rupee.
Mundra and other privately run coastal power stations have to import coal because of Indian rules that give state-owned entities control over the domestic resource. As world coal prices have spiked, those same power stations have struggled to turn a profit. The Indian association of power producers has claimed that coal is unviable in India at prices above US$70 a tonne. The current price is about US$95 a tonne.
1h What is shameful, Bolt is simply repeating what he already said last week a carousel of commentary which keeps coming around and around again. Last week he proved he knows nothing about the structure of universities and how they function and now the second time around he proves he really doesn't care. Bolt declares we need "good science" and Peter Ridd offers that with no research only opinion. Bolt demands debate any paid opinionated denier of the global peer-reviewed research is the true sceptic Bolt included science despite it's constantly published research is just a religion with fake methodology. So the 1% of deniers should get 50 % of the time that 99% of scientists get in the public debate. The fact is when it comes to Bolt and News Corp they get 90% of the time. Research is not required nor opinions peer-reviewed and naysayers are called true sceptics by Bolt they are the ones that build a universities reputation. Now that's the sort of excellence Bolt expects from our Universities the global standard required but while he's got the microphone he fails to say that's not debating but preaching. In Bolt's eyes Universities are little more than structureless free for all of ideas, preachers corners and soap boxes, no departments, structured debate necessary. No reputations to uphold by adhering to globally recognized methods of argument or peer-reviewed debate. James Cook is recognized as one of the world's best Marine Science Departments, not a house of simplistic opinion scattered to the air the loudest voice the winner. Reputations in research attract the best staff. the best research funding and students queued up to learn and James Cook is acknowledged to be at the top of Marine science. Yes, there are universally accepted methods to research and debate to which staff when employed sign contracts of adherence. Peter Ridd did just that but has crossed the behavioural line and has been sacked. Not surprisingly either as he was given warnings which he ignored. Bolt calls this sacking a disgrace because in his opinion campuses are little more than agoras of "free speech" and in which Ridd is being denied his freedom. He's been sacked and he's been told he can say whatever he likes but no longer as a member of staff at James Cook Marine Science because he's brought it into disrepute. Bolt actually applauded when the same happened to Dr Martin Hirst at Deakin University. He even liked to believe he had some influence in that. So in all of this bru-ha Bolt really has no guiding principle, does he? He has no idea what science on a University campus actually does. It seems an anarchy of ideas no rules is all that's required for excellent science and just calling science just another religion justifies being a true sceptic. His functioning model of a university campus ensures the complete reputational destruction of a multi-million dollar institution. Basically, no university is just speakers corner a free for all theatre where the loudest and most powerful win. It's not News Corp. Tony Abbott tried to adopt that model. He even tried to bribe universities to take on "what his name" that once world-famous side-show spruiker he called an expert who seems to have disappeared off the face of the planet. Abbott was ready to pay $4,000,000 for his hired gun who'd be hard pressed to get a job as a tutor today. Bjorn Lomborg where is he now? Oh, Bolt even referenced him in his editorial describing what excellence means on a university campus.
"I have no reason to think he hasn't done his teaching and his research in a highly competent and professional manner he happens to question the politically correct orthodoxy about man-made global warming."Abbott 1) Why doe Abbott protects himself with the phrase " I have no reason to think he hasn't done his teaching and his research in a highly competent and professional manner" He doesn't sound too certain does he? Is it because his peer group don't?
2) The fact is Peter Ridd hasn't debated the issue as a scientist but simply as a denier where is his highly peer-reviewed and competent research? Andrew Bolt is a denier does that mean he has the qualifications to become a member of the Marine Science Department at James Cook? I'm sure he thinks so.
3) True science has looked at the facts published their results had them reviewed and has continued to do further and further research. It hasn't stopped and the results keep pointing to the facts such that 97% of scientists agree that the planet is warming due to human activity. a) that the Great Barrier Reef is in danger and b) that danger is a direct consequence of global warming.
4) There is a world of sceptics out there using a methodology that's proved itself to be the best epistemological basis for man's knowledge of the physical world outside him and its called Science. The majority of scientists agree despite being sceptics in the true sense and not flippant deniers for any other illogical reason such as Abbott's " true science is what corresponds with the actual facts out there and that's what we have to get to the bottom of."
5) The fact is Mr Abbott the ship is in and science agrees while it's the non-scientists who are the flim-flam men trying to run the narrative. The only attack on science is coming from idiots like Bolt who claims to be a sceptic and calls science just another religion and offering no epistemological basis on which to pin his greater wisdom/
It needs to be said once again I grew up Jewish, in an environment strongly supportive of the Israeli state. But I don’t support the way Israel treats the Palestinians, particularly when they slaughter unarmed people as they did this week. Many Israelis oppose their own government’s treatment of the Palestinians. Left-leaning Israelis vote against Prime Minister Netanyahu, and they oppose Trump’s inflammatory decision to move the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem. The same is true of millions of Jews here in the United States. Of course, Palestinians protest. Life has gotten worse for Palestinians since I visited, particularly in Gaza. Some call Gaza an “open-air prison” and compare Israel’s treatment of Palestinians to South Africa’s apartheid. If Israel has a problem with Palestinians protesting, improving those conditions makes more sense than killing people. Calling anyone who critiques the Israeli government’s policies and actions “anti-Semitic” may be a useful way to silence dissent, but it’s not at all accurate. Israel is not Judaism. We can and should have a healthy debate about Israel’s policies and U.S. policy on Israel, just like we debate anything else in politics.
Muhammad was forced into a civilian car with Palestinian licence plates and taken to a West Bank detention centre. Muhammad was released hours later after he was determined to be in poor health. The 15-year-old is recovering from devastating head injuries after being shot with a rubber-coated metal bullet fired at close range in December. One-third of Muhammad’s skull was removed as a result of his injury.
Muhammad Fadel Tamimi photographed in the village of Nabi Saleh on 5 January. Oren ZivActiveStillsMuhammad was arrested by Israeli forces in February while awaiting major reconstructive surgery and forced to falsely confess, without a lawyer or a parent present, that his skull injuries were incurred after he fell off his bike. His 17-year-old cousin, Ahed Tamimi, was sentenced to eight months in an Israeli prison for slapping and shoving two heavily armed Israeli soldiers shortly after Muhammad was shot.
Bolt prefers to name and shame Indigenous Australians and laugh at Julia Baird for saying Christians who attend Church regularly are likely child molesters. Bolt vehemently denies the statistics that surround the Catholic Church and the Order of St John of God it's strange, isn't it? Guess it's Indigenous that take sex tours to East Asian Countries. Bolt seems to have had his back turned to all the Australian Child molesters and pornographers. He keeps singling out alleged indigenous cases however and seems obsessed.
Adelaide Archbishop Philip Wilson has been found guilty of concealing child sexual abuse in NSW.

The "Jew Hunt" comes from Andrew Bolt dual citizen and devoted son of Aalsmeer who Jews not Israelis showed was the worst and most notorious town in the Netherlands when it came to hunting, killing and handing over Jews. Bolt believes that merely flipping and calling the UNHRC vote a "Jew- Hunt" rather than an investigation into Israel's state-sponsored atrocities, a flip in language, is sufficient to turn him into a modern defender of Jewish peoples who need no defence. His phrase Jew-Hunt is meant to be kryptonite to shame the UNHRC and cripple those asking for an investigation into Israel's possible crimes against humanity. Israeli Soldiers Open Fire On Palestinians Carrying Potentially Dangerous Injured Friends The OnionVerified account@TheOnion
1) The UN investigation isn't into or about a hunt for Jews at all it's is into the crime if any Israel may have committed.
2) The dilution of the facts by Bolt's seems to indicate there might be an issue worth investigating and his bluster nothing more than an attempt to hide it. Damage control that benefits nobody. It's there to make out the issue to just be a minor one. One would assume the Israelis would the first to demand an investigation if they had nothing to be concerned about. But it seems they do and Andrew Bolt is helping to throw fuel and attention on the suspicion. The facts 110 persons were killed and some 10,000 who were injured approx 4000 by live IDF bullets. A significant difference to Bolt's numbers of just 62 reportedly 50 Hamas. This report delivered by MEMRI TV, a noted pro-Israeli TV station in the vane of The Bolt Report. One Israeli was lightly injured and according to Bolt Israelis millions of them felt threatened which again was reported by Israeli officials with the question "what would you do?" An exercise in subsequent rhetoric rather than an facing reality. Well, an investigation seems a reasonable start in answering that question Bolt and Israel don't want.
Injured 203 children 78 women press and medics. Further, the blockade of Gaza has prevented vital medical equipment in, to treat their dire need. Apparently, the bullets were used that expanded when hitting a body and cause maximum damage. The blockade ensures that without the right medical equipment amputations will be at a maximum in order to save lives.
3) Australia should be PROUD of defending Israelis from an investigation into their behaviour and publicizing those results. Bolt will, without doubt, be assisted in the art of distraction, deflection, and argument consistent with Israel's needs. So be prepared to have smoke blown in your face. Who will have the power to report the Palestinian narrative?
Israeli actions in Gaza are similar to those perpetrated against Jewish people during Nazi persecution, Turkish leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan said. Days earlier, he called Israel a “terrorist” and “apartheid” state. “There is no difference between the atrocity faced by the Jewish people in Europe 75 years ago and the brutality that our Gaza brothers are subjected to,” Turkish President Erdogan said on Friday, as cited by AFP. READ MORE: Turkey vows to bring Israel to ICC over Gaza carnage, Tel Aviv says Ankara will be there first “The children of those being subject to all sorts of torture in concentration camps during World War II are now attacking Palestinians with methods that would put Nazis to shame,” Erdogan reiterated.

That's coming from the head of a police state. Who could be more informed than Erdogan?
AGL is entitled in a 'free market' to do what it is doing and is entitled given the limited future of global coal to close Liddel down and transition to become a player in the world's most progressive power and sunrise industry. The threats about price hikes Bolt proposes will be treated dictated by the activity of 'free market' competition of which Bolt claims to be an enthusiastic supporter. That competition will push prices down, down and down not up, up and up according to Bolt conservative theory of market economics. For consumers, that's a benefit after all AGL isn't the only player in the market. AGL follows the logic once supported by Abbott and Bolt which now they now deny. It's a fundamental principle of Capitalism thrown out the door by Abbott who seems to be like a weathercock in a storm when offering opinions. Generally the history of his policies in the past that have proved to be a disaster for the hip pockets of Australians.
1h16. How Paparazzi of Bolt. Stealing photos and putting his thought bubble on them. But then he doesn't really need photos to stamp his footprints all over anybody's parade particularly if they are black. He mocked The Sudanese Beauty Pageant laughed his head off about it as if one was possible. What's more, he did that with his son in training to be Bolt at the behest of an IPA podcast. It shows you the true nature of the man. An Ultra -Racists cast shadows over all of us.
People may finally be waking up to the fact that race is a construct.
Andrew Bolt loves to tell us that's what he does but in fact practices the very opposite when constantly negatively stereotyping individuals as belonging to particular groups not part of his 'team'. Groups in particular that don't appreciate his worldview and particularly his. "American conception of whiteness in the 20th century, with its attempt permanently to divide the working class and artificially to denigrate people of African and Hispanic antecedents while artificially elevating Irish-Americans and Italian-Americans (not to mention German-Americans and English-Americans) as part of a supposedly superior “race,” is falling apart among the millennials. It won’t happen overnight, but we might be seeing the beginning of its end. And that Harry and Meghan are playing an important symbolic role in furthering that process."Juan Cole
Yes, Bolt is the voice of resistance to progress that enables the real equality of individuals to be themselves. In fact, he denies himself more than most.
Andrew Bolt really does make a good ventriloquist's dummy. The ventriloquist being Fox News. Where in Bolt's post of Hilary's quotes does Hilary Clinton even mention Trump? The only person to mention the President's name is Andrew Bolt and we can assume as the dummy he has either killed his operator, simply escaped his lap or is repeating perfectly his master's biased errors something you would expect from any number of Fox commentators. So guess whose lap Bolt's sitting on and proves himself to be the one whose irrationally unhinged because he's too distant to have killed anyone at Fox because he hasn't the guts to quit his master's voice? What a shallow media man he is.
With Tony Abbott and Ian Plimer's global activism, Australia appears to fast becoming the home of worldwide climate science denialism. Graham Readfearn reports.
AUSTRALIANS HAVE been keeping the London-based climate science denial group the Global Warming Policy Foundation (GWPF) busy in recent weeks, writes Graham Readfearn.
After former Prime Minister Tony Abbott gave the group’s annual lecture in October, it was the turn of one of Australia’s longest-serving deniers to empty another bucket of bunkum.
Professor Ian Plimer, an Australian director of multiple mining companies, is featured in a new interview with the GWPF to promote his latest subtly titled denial tome: Climate Change Delusion and the Great Energy Rip-off.
When it comes to climate change science, Plimer can be placed very firmly in the file marked “denial
12 Sep Yes, but News Corp is a parasite on the backs of our government a melanoma that can't be got rid of. Death is the only solution and it presents in the form of Tony Abbott. How on earth can anybody expect Mr. Nope to run this country? As a Bill passer, he ran next to last to John Gorton. back in the 70s of the last century. He's a documented liar prepared to lie to his patrons, the public, and even his own team members when the going gets tough. He is Incubus that haunts Australian women and a puppet in the hands of Murdoch and the IPA. He is the only tool in their kit promising to rid them of the ABC but just another lie.
As for fossil fuels being the only solution to today's energy problem tell that to Texas and Florida the lights are out for 4.5 million homes because Irma and Harvey screwed their infrastructure. Two states that laughed at wind and solar energy. The problem isn't that Abbott's for coal the problem is he's against green power and climate change. He's against the banks and the energy producers against the experts and against the investors which amount to being against pragmatic solutions to move the country forward for the sake of a political tactic that translates into another zombie bill which he's a front runner producing.
12 Sep So Bolt panhandling paranoia is spelling out clearly what it is he believes in Inequality. Inequality is the road to ultra -conservative notion of freedoms. Go back to colonial times and you will find that's the ideology of the brutish British when equality was a privilege for them alone. Ask how many Aborigines were hanged for violence towards whites and compare that figure with the number of whites prosecuted for killing blacks, homosexuals, women or even transportees. However, isn't that the equality what exists now? No The AHRC is in the way and protects us against hate-speech, no Australia isn't as yet a Christian state and religious freedoms are guaranteed under our Constitution. No Australia isn't as yet a mono culture the desire of Bolt and his ilk that needs to sort out the wheat from the chaff in Australian Culture. When a marriage exists between the major corporations and government and a uniformity in culture is attained will Bolt acquiesce to being the perfect nation. Parliament can't be trusted to accomplish this task according to Bolt. Mussolini defined Bolt's perfect nation as the ideal and holy Fascist State. Abbott was the only leader that knew the power of flags, anthems the honors of knights and dames and the power of monuments and uniforms and wanted to take us in that direction.
Heart jerk! But did you notice the people saving the ducks seemed unemployed had the time to pay attention to saving wild life? Who has the time for that other than Greenies?
12 Sep Bolt's philosophy is if you're not Jesus don't bother. Yet he believes God is the property of the AFL. Well, he seems to underestimate the power of change comes not from a super hero it comes from the unity of a team. Change is driven by the masses and each member realizing the common sense of what needs to be done and the awareness that the opposite is not progress. Bolt can't turn back the clock on clean energy.
Common sense Bolt is the realization that without clean energy the planet can't be saved and the realization that technology can be shifted from corporate control of power to the hands of the consumer is a massive shift to clean power. The cars running on fossil fuels in Texas and Florida are stationary those running on green power are running there is no pretense in that. Jesus didn't start a corporation to control he wasn't a Scientologist. He was, however, an existentialist putting the power of choice in the hands of the individual. Cynicism runs from those fast losing the trust of the ordinary man.
There is a trick here and yes you guessed it's a PAYWALL to both Matt Chambers and Judith Sloan both writers for Murdoch's Australian and Sloan can be found writing for the IPA as well directed to you by an instruction from Peter BH who Andrew Bolt likes to pretend is just a passing reader of his blog. Peter BH is far more dangerous than Bolt because he's not just a pretty face and a motor mouth he's more often the brains behind the gravitas of Bolt's Blog. Bolt nevertheless attributes Peter BH's efforts to himself suggesting he's just another loving fan.
" “In this environment, we just don’t see new development of coal as economically rational, even before factoring in a carbon cost.”” AGL
When the experts in business and technology agree coal is not the future do any of these CEO's who want to be ahead of the game seriously want to shoot themselves in the foot for the sake of a political donation to keep favor with the Liberal Party whether Turnbull or Abbott are leaders? Do morons like Bolt think for a moment this was a spur of the moment decision by AGL to transition away from coal? Bolt suggested it's because they employed an adviser who once had connections with Get Up and she has turned the company's decisions around. But then Bolt's a performing idiot a side show demonstrating he knows nothing about business and corporate decision making.
Thursday 7 September 2017 I haven’t been well for a few days so I thought I would take a short break. However, here is something I wrote in 2016. Where Did All His Readers Go? Recently I found myself without access to the internet. It only lasted a day and a bit, thankfully, but it…
How much trust do you have in the following media commentators and journalists?: Laurie Oakes 71%, Sarah Ferguson 51%, Tony Jones 51%, Mark Riley 51%, Michelle Gratton 49%, Neil Mitchell 49%, Chris Uhlmann 46%, Andrew Bolt 38%, Alan Jones 29%. The most trusted newspapers were: SMH (70% a lot/some trust) and The Age (66%). The least trusted were The Telegraph (46% a lot/some trust), the Herald Sun (48%) and the Courier Mail (48%). Overall, trust in media has fallen a little since this question was asked last year – however, rankings remain much the same. The most trusted media were ABC TV news and current affairs (63% a lot/some trust), SBS TV news and current affairs (61%) and ABC radio news and current affairs (58%). The least trusted were internet blogs (20%) and commercial radio talkback programs (34%). How much trust do you have in the following institutions and organizations?: AFP was top with 68%, the ABC had 58%, religious organizations 25%.
“For youth to thrive in schools and communities, they need to feel socially, emotionally, and physically safe and supported. A positive school climate has been associated with decreased depression, suicidal feelings, substance use, and unexcused school absences among LGB students.”
Let's start with the fact Andrew Bolt professional writer can't spell. Secondly redefining the word bullying is rendering the English language meaningless. Those on the bottom of the inequality hierarchy aren't bullying they are however protesting their inequality. Bolt takes pleasure in defending those who wish to keep their foot on gay necks and calls those that complain bullies. The dictionary seems to contradict Bolt when it describes a bully as "a blustering, browbeating person; especially: one who is habitually cruel, insulting, or threatening to others who are weaker, smaller, or in some way vulnerable tormented by the neighborhood bully" Even the dictionary places the bully into context of a history of power which Bolt simply wants to flip.There are no "same -sex marriage activists as Bolt would have you believe only protestors against marriage inequality
Apparently, Andrew Bolt seems to believe Private Corporations in particular AGL are in the business of sabotaging themselves if they appoint a variety of competing experts to advise them as opposed to a team of YES men and women. That, opposing views we are told is the strategy Donald Trump applied throughout his business life and who Andrew Bolt admires so much for bringing that to running the USA. So having so much admiration for the competitive process why is Bolt freaking out about it here? He's certainly not an expert in business and surrounding himself with yes men blind sided Abbott.AGL is in the business of profit running machinery that's outlived its use has been amortized and taking it further is like playing a 35-year-old ruckman with a bung knee and expecting to win.AGL is a Corporation that has a responsibility to its shareholders to look past the horizon Bolt and politicians horizon isn't further than the next voting cycle. So yes AGL is advertising the direction it's going and that comes at inspecting what the world is doing and not just Australia. Further Bolt seems to equate business and the bottom line with "love and hate" with spending as "cost" not investment. How long do you think it would take for Andrew Bolt director of AGL to turn it into a corporate Fossil a coal Chernobyl or just broke? It's like saying to a Corporation why invest in Brazil they don't speak English....dumb and dumber Mr. Bolt. Business has no language. "A coal-fired generation business that loathes the very material on which it makes its money. A generator that treats it as a moral imperative to give its customers another product that will cost them more."Bolt
Syrian bashing by Bolt never ceases Bolt was trying to kick the bejeezus out of Khalil Eideh months ago when he was rejected entry into the USA. The man is an Australian of over 40-year standing but leave it to Bolt to scream once a Muslim always anti-Australian and once a Syrian even worse. The allegations being put out are from Matthew Guy who wines and dines with Australia's Mafia king pins. He like Clinton once said I once tried dope and didn't inhale Guy tried to say I didn't know who he was. I never took any money. Bolt is making sure that he's publicizing Guy's ALLEGATIONS as if they are the news of the day.So here we Andrew Bolt repeating his dirt and smears as he did a few months back to polish the little turd Mattie Guy. Bolt has dual citizenship goes to the Netherlands more than Eideh waxes lyrical about the place believes Geert Wilders is the best thing since sliced bread and he's talking loyalty to Australia.
Has bolt failed to mention that the wind turbines kept electricity going during Hurricane Harvey while the Fossil Fuel Plants closed and many are still shut down? The Wind provides 20% of Texan energy and helped save its butt when Fossil fuels crashed. Oh, Bolt failed to mention that while he's still banging on about South Australia. So it seems Bolt has changed color yet again to Socialist demanding the government to regulate. Remember when Abbott was calling Warming Science a load of crock he's not anymore he's calling for a responsible Energy target. Be it close to zero doesn't really mean anything. Meanwhile, while the Banks and Energy producers are calling to be able to close down coal plants the government refuses them that business option. What is expected is to keep unprofitable coal plants running and investing in more. The only way to ensure that is to make them profitable and that can only be done by subsidies and regulation. Other wise known as a government controlled energy system. Bolt keeps suggesting coal is perfectly alright leaving the word dirty out of the equation and hinting it's clean which if that were at all possible and not just a tad cleaner at triple the price everything will be fine. He even assures us the Nuclear plants if built now will be great when turned on near the end of the century. In the meantime, Science has moved faster than Bolt can think and has lowered the price of renewables to next to nothing. The only thing a free energy market is crying out for is clear government policy. Bankers producers and consumers one and all are ready to participate if and when they feel confident the market is sufficiently stable to be able to participate. Bolt is calling for a Socialist answer when saying he isn't. All these anti - Renewable advocates never mention the degree to which nonrenewables are subsidized today $1billion gift to Adani to them is neither risky nor a cost to the coal production let alone the polluted run- off Adani's mines have already caused. Who will pay for the mythical clean energy coal will produce?
One thing you can be certain of the MEDIA BOSSES whoever they might be and we know are not calling for a plebiscite on the issue. The ABC and the SBS are Independent Statuary Bodies which here are being called"the media arm" of Government. Oops, false news sure is. Murdoch and the IPA have been running this battle as far back as the 60s. They hoped they had a winner in Tony Abbott but he lied as he's prone to do. It's no coincidence Murdoch is going to have his guns blazing on this issue now because he wants Ch10 in way of compensation against the negative publicity he can threaten Turnbull with. However given this is all old hat and that the ABC is not a public issue and untrusted as is News Corp they are yet again pushing shit up a hill with the proverbial pointed stick.
This does look like a panic but only on Bolt's part trying to hose down any negative comment about Abbott and show the Warrnambool Branch of the Liberal Party are like Monkey Pod Room of what 9 conservatives for Abbott. Even the improved poll figures are mocked. However, the length of the post is an indication of just how desperate the Abbott PR machine in fact is. These days Abbott's a very lonely man even speaking up against what was once his own policies trying to appear more moderate. Why doesn't he become Bernardi's Deputy?
