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 Age putting wind in the sails of the LNP's stupid criticisms of the governments 5-hour late response to substantial questions answered. Does the Age really suggest the Victorian government act as a puppet on the string to every question asked of it or is it simply putting wind in the sails of an extremely weak and ineffective opposition that would be better off assisting Andrews in dealing with this serious 2nd wave?(ODT)
CORONAVIRUS: VICTORIA CANCELS DEMOCRACY AS A HEALTH HAZARD
COLUMN
So this is how democracy ends. With a medical certificate from a Chief
Health Officer declaring parliament a health hazard. Victoria once
boasted people prepared to die for democracy at the Eureka Stockade. Now
it’s overrun with cowards, and led by an authoritarian Premier who had
the Legislative Assembly shut this week on medical advice.

This coming from a social distancer is a bit rich particularly one who avoids being too critical of Scott Morrison doing the same. Trump is such a predictable animal in a life that currently isn't yesterday he was bleating that COVID-19 never killed anyone under 40 as he was doing it the disease killed a 30-year-old. He keeps avoiding the long term complications found to be a result of catching the illness and treating is as if it were little more than a new seasonal flu why? Because it fits his infantile arguments that bounce and zig-zag all over the place'. Morrison and Dutton are left alone only Andrews is the target of Bolt's political scattergun. Dutton ducks blame saying Border Force doesn't make health decisions yet we know they have denied detainees hospital treatment when needed. They make plenty of immigration decisions based on health ignoring doctors reports and requests. Yet I can't see or hear any News Corp opinionator questioning Dutton's statement. Andrews worked within a Private System a Capitalist System that has failed all of us. Now the supporters of that very system aren't criticizing it but Dan Andrews. It's not Andrews that needs changing it's the underregulated system whose focus is on profit before what's required to achieve the required outcome. Any comparison as to where Covid-19 cases and deaths occurred it's without argument they have been contracted and occurred in the Private and not the public domain. In private aged-care hospitals not public. In the private and not any of the public services. Now those calling to privatise and de-regularise more and more are demanding the reverse of and blaming Dan Andrews for not being socialist enough. What hypocrites these 'free market' advocates they are.
RECORD VIRUS INFECTIONS SHOW VICTORIA'S 'TOUGH' POLICIES DON'T WORK
COLUMN
Victoria’s new record of 725 new infections on Wednesday is more
evidence that forcing people to wear masks and stay home doesn’t work
for long. It is two weeks since all Melburnians were forced to wear face
masks. It is nearly a month since its five million people were ordered
to stay in their homes. If these were magic bullets, they missed.

Is Andrew Bolt echoing Dan Andrews? It would seem so! It's why Andrews has "toughened " the restrictions to grade 4. Far, far heavier fines and far more enforcement of rules than grade 3. However, Andrews needed to shut down irresponsible opinionators like Andrew Bolt who are broadcasting a message to the public " don't listen to Andrews" "listen to me". Bolt's telling us the SS Victoria is sinking on one hand and fuck the captain on the other. The advice from Bolt is it's every man for themselves. He's even been yelling "forget the women and children they can swim".
On what basis we don't know because he doesn't have any experts standing shoulder to shoulder with him as he blurts his message out from behind a desk and all those symbols so unlike Dan Andrews. Following the bouncing ball Bolt doesn't speak off the cuff answer any questions just reads his autocue which he then repeats in his columns. The conclusion it's more the work of his production crew his scriptwriters who unlike Dan change from day to day as does their message.
So yes let's correct the above banner for Bolt. Victoria's 'tough policies didn't work' that's what Dan said not what Bolt. That they 'don't work' well we won't know for another 2+ weeks will we. However, 6 weeks of pain the outcome Bolt claims he's all for will be far better than 6 months.
The committed fascists and breathtaking, arrogant fools in the LNP absolutely refuse to listen to the experienced, credible scientists, steadfastly refuse to listen to renowned economists (like the Nobel prize-winning Joseph Stiglitz who has loudly criticised the LNP’s appalling mismanagement of Australia’s economy) and refuse to listen to the people of Australia whom the LNP treat with sneering, condescending contempt! No other government in our history (with the exception of the alleged war criminal, John Howard) have managed to defund, annihilate and destroy so much in so short a time. It has only taken six short (devastating) years for the Wrecking Ball Abbott/Turnbull/Morrison circus to go on a campaign of such wilful, methodical destruction; it has changed the face of Australia and altered who we are in the eyes of the world. Outlined below is just a small list of the devastation the LNP have caused and links to further published chaos under their catastrophic mismanagement:
Quadrupled our national deficit to more than one trillion dollars
On.e might wonder if the DFAT docs are redacted due to their criticism of our own government's management and democratic backsliding. Largely because of the LNP's narrowing American only perspectives which support the limiting of human rights, the increasing of security, our distinctively less Multicultural and anti- Globalisation stance. Why was 80% of this report redacted and at whose hands? (ODT)
Confidential ministerial briefings prepared by the Department of Foreign Affairs reveal increasing concern about Australia's place in the region amid the rise of China.
"Increasing illiberalism, including rising human rights abuses, Democratic backsliding and closing space for civil society risk impacting on the prosperity and stability of states in the region," the briefing said, without identifying specific countries.
Documents known as "blue books," delivered to the Morrison government after it won the May election, were released to The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age under Freedom of Information laws on Tuesday. Up to 80 percent of them are redacted.

CORRECTION: We’ve deleted a previous tweet. We accidentally misquoted Mazie Hirono here. She actually said, “Believe in climate change as though it’s religion, it’s not, it’s science.”
Bolt has more twists and turns than a worm and as much intelligence. He's gone from the "planet is cooling" "weather is weather" " maybe it's warming a little but.." " Global Warming IS a Religion " to now saying he said that "believing in Climate Change was LIKE a new religion." "I've said it, and now a believer confirms it." He's a true Trumpster, is our Andrew Bolt walking back on what he has said in the past. He'll soon be saying he's never been a Climate Change denier just an advocate for the best approach to it.
No, Bolt is using a misquote from the Daily Caller owned by none other than American teammate Tucker Carlson at Fox Corp. The reason for Bolt promoting the Caller's initial misquote is because he has no real ideas of his own and can't hold a consistent line. The Caller, however, seems to have corrected itself, unlike Andrew Bolt, who prefers it appears to believe the misquote and promote a falsity instead. Just as he does Scientist Andy Pitman who also corrected himself, but you'd never know to listen to Bolt. "Pitman corrected himself when he thought I wasn't listening."
But the real quote about Climate Science being like a religion ended in "it's not it's science" and, as such, is a universally accepted fact today. Except for the minority of disbelievers, the equivalent to religious flat earthers today. Bolt doesn't even fall into the category if being a sceptic.
Bolt can't even refer you to anyone new when playing whack-a-Mole, Happs has run this dated argument against the IPCC and now Bolt is directing the same to the statement about 11,000 scientists agree. The convenience of turning to Happs his comments often go undated for a purpose. The argument can be dragged up at any time. For Bolt's whack-a-mole Wednesdays. Bolt has started to look busy on Wednesdays hunting for subscribers to the Herald Sun. It appears his required number of sales are down or his ratings are. That notice of News Corps' quaterly loss must have scared the crap out of him.
Well we see the true nature of the man a Bogan to the extreme. If the deaf can't communicate in his language he wouldn't lift a finger to communicate in theirs. He'd walk out of a room and turn his back on those Greek, Italian, and European omahs and opahs who worked our clothing sweat shops and have been here as long as he has but can't speak Bolt's English as well as he can. Yes my uncle a pharmacist and a Jew was kicked to death by men like Bolt who then probably also went to the opera. The arrogant pig he's Donald Trump. He's the jock in the schoolyard he's the poofter basher.
Catholic priests once came to Melbourne to care for Catholics in a parish that didn't speak English as their first language and neither did the priests or nuns. Here we see Bolt's real ideas of people and respect when he writes not however when he speaks. He's simply arrogant an ignorant brute. However in places where he can be seen he's a chameleon a pretense a master of manners. He's not always in control and he lets it slip. Tonight he just spoke over Bronwyn Bishop when she wanted to make a comment about Howard that didn't support what he was saying leaving her high and dry as any misogynistic ill mannered sexist lout would do. He didn't do that to his male guest 3 minutes was enough for me to watch.
Yes Bolt believes the world needs to learn English as their first language before he'll bother to even acknowledge them. No doubt Bolt yells at blind men too when because he believes they are deaf as well. He probably talks to them slowly as if they must be less educated than him. I'll bet you however this Meshuggeneh, as stupid as he is, doesn't laugh at god in a hospital even when he says he's an agnostic for show. Bolt really must have been a pathetic human when he was in India quite the member of the Empire We know who Bolt is
What Bolt fears most is learning.He prefers training
Why do people like migrants and even Australians like Gary have to be so much more than Bolt to get a job?
Did anyone notice that Andrew Bolt's home team The Herald Sun did what Bolt abhors when he calls out literally all media for being little more than the Left wing in denial. They don't call out criminals by color or race. The Herald Sun devoted 3 pages to street crime by kids yesterday and didn't mention color or continent or any other characteristics that Bolt claims is essential to do. What stands out in all of this Bolt stayed silent. Had anyone else done such wide coverage of the issue in the same way and Bolt would have been on them like a fly on s@#t. Bolt himself is quite happy to suggest Australia's criminal class are from a particular continent yet the facts deny this. Most crimes are committed by people of Caucasian appearance day or night so shouldn't we to maintain Bolts high standard of bigotry call them European or to be fair Australian. Wow Australians are the biggest criminals in Australia " Who let them in?" Indigenous Australia have been asking that for 225 years.
In general Australians in the main speak good English but that's all they don't tend to be as clever as most migrants that are bi or tri lingual never the less Bolt has a tendency to regard these groups as less than educated. He was seen on the ABC program Recognition promising Aborigines jobs if they dumped their Culture for his. Dr Gary Foley was made that promise as well but he was locked out of the Public Service for years and years and that was eventually admitted by his ex boss. But we can't say that's proof that white man's promises are bullshit. What else did Dr Foley have to do to get a job? He did a Phd Bolt never had to climb that high he failed uni and got a job whenever he wanted. Yet he was on the dole and supported by his girlfriend who must have felt like a single mother. Bolt doesn't have much respect for them either.
Forget about Derryn but ask why is it so easy for Andrew Bolt to slip into the be the so un Australian moral high horse such an uncharacteristic trait of of being Australian. It's easy he might claim to be agnostic but he harbours the puritanical morals of his Dutch ancestors. Strict Calvinists they fled to the New World leaving the corrupt and sinful one alone. They weren't welcoming or inclusive in the slightest they were as Bolt has been seen to be from a very young age aloof and exclusive. Always on the outside looking in. Is that where the saying going Dutch originates? Not sharing but staying independent?
Bolt accuses Derryn Hinch of betrayal when in fact you couldn't find a greater betrayer of Australian Culture of the Australian attitude than Andrew Bolt. He rarely praises anyone on a daily basis he betrays us all tarring Aborigines, Muslims , the unemployed, the underemployed and those that disagree with him with one brush. He is the greatest media stereotyper in our Media and it comes naturally. However let anyone begin to do the same to Andrew Bolt he flips and claims to be the victim of leftists not individuals who simply dominate his landscape as Communists once did. He's a loner and admits it. How can he be an Australian? It's also why he maintains a dual passport. I'm sure this betrayer's lack of friends is substituted by his collection of possessions and like Scrooge he sits alone at home admiring these things itching for more because things are never enough. Bolt sure as hell doesn't subscribe the the theory of being grateful. By the way yesterday the man was all over Hinch today it's his ex and notice there is never an apology to either. Who will it be tomorrow?
" This is idiotic. A question for Soutphommasane: so why did Hanson and her three Senators get elected in the first place?"
Quite simple the media and 600,000 votes sold a threat to people with little or no experience of Australian Muslims in the first place ""There is a risk that what were once unacceptable ideas about race, religion and immigration are now being normalised."Tim Soutphommasane Yes Hanson is the consequence of the Media promotion of Tony Abbott and the political use of Islamophobia after the Cronulla riots. It's use was adopted as an official political tactic. However fear to divide the nation is not new Menzies used it to good effect suggesting immigrants from Europe were dangerous particularly Jews who were Communists sympathizers along with Eastern Europeans of any sort. He however didn't have as much media as exists today. Bolt claims the HRC has the capacity to organize a lynch mob is a joke. News Corp controls 66% of the print media in this country and as such opinion. The commissioner is requested to investigate whether or not a valid complaint exists and in the case of Leak he decided one didn't. hardly a lynching.
We used to say EDDIE Maguire was everywhere now Bolt is

However he doesn't have the audience yet. All this will be at the expense of real journalists and it's why Section 18C is necessary to prevent that single fart in an elevator from spreading. Bolt doesn't perform any new tricks on any of his events, Just a flipper.
Yes the Media put the wind in Hanson's sails when Abbott began his Team Australia ploy declaring Muslim Australians not part of the team Ad News Corp as an organization like 2GB on Cronulla ran with it. Just listen to the temper of Bolt's language and if this isn't personal hate of an Australian I don't know what hate is. "Meanwhile, the most extraordinary effort has been made by the media to
present Islam as safe and its critics as racist. The ABC, for instance,
has presented a stream of pet Muslims to assure us the faith is benign.
Waleed Aly is lionised, and both he and his wife given gigs on the
broadcaster. Not a month goes by without Q&A featuring a
token Muslim on the panel (token Buddhists or Hindus are deemed
unnecessary). The Prime Minister hosts a Muslim dinner. Labor noisily
selects Muslim candidates. Aly is give a Gold Logie and made a board
member of our Australia Council, in charge of funding our artists." However when viewed and made to show his face Bolt waters his tone down representing himself as the quietly spoken mild mannered irrational man the twin of Hansonite Malcolm Roberts.
Bolt tries to disguise class war as the oppression of free speech what is actually being advocated is the lifting of restrictions not on individuals but on media to vilify minorities. Section 18C is necessary because it's manifestly obvious that media vilification of the sort Bolt feels restricted by is in fact a call to commit or provoke violence in a civilized community by legislating the freeing of hate and anger. It makes Bolt such a hypocrite when he as often talks to the lack of manners of his opposition. Bolt can concentrate all the minimal and individual events and use them to stereotype any group or community in our society and this anti- tribalist does then when convenient he flips and declares himself Australia's greatest non racist who should be seen for the beautiful loving complex individual he is. No such demand for graciousness offered by him to Waleed and Susan Aly.
Oh dear Bolt is a selective twat his narrative is the most important thing to him not facts and he knows the power of that narrative. He want's to be given free rein to promote even more lies. Buddhists and Hindus have committed crimes of all sorts in this country drugs, rape murder and mayhem the only difference they were called Thais, Vietnamese,Indians or just Australians there hasn't been a Bolt trumpeting that it was there religion that caused it. 20 Muslims accused of terrorist acts some with proven mental health issues others with drug problems of 500,000 Australian citizens from 34 different countries and cultures yet Bolt the individualist is tarring them with his confected brush. He's allowed to get away with it be cause he does have the fright to free speech but he even wants more. Bolt is a dual citizen who wallows in the power he has just tripped over. Heaven help us if he was skilled at it. The fact that propagandists like Bolt have given only focused attention to his narrative at the expense of reality shows the catalyst media has been in creating Islamophobia and the Phoenixing of Hanson who has turned her sights on Muslims after 20 years. Yes if the media focus was on Hindus she'd be back with her focus on them as well.
The Liberal experience written and orchestrated by Tony Abbott continues
Manufactured hate for politics it sure is. Bolt the ultra racist hate fabricator who insisted Islam is not a race but only a religion calls Turnbull a racist. Is he flipping he sure is. So what it we have been a party to is politics at the expense of peoples lives. 60% of our current politicians are trained lawyers trained to play a dispassionate game of win or lose for the highest bidder. A move reflected in Conroy's careerist move and Turnbull's refugee decision. Politics is not a game of representation or even teams but of personal interest at the expense of National interest. When the biggest decisions are made in the interests of our largest corporations only and the rest a manufactured sideshow it won't be any surprise to see the middle class of Australia vanish and the events at Crown become more common The CEO has tripled his remuneration, and the board want a 50 per ...While Australia's middle class once the productive core of the country is increasingly shrinking its assets . Refugees once the very heart of this nation are now just pawns in politics.
There is only room for good old Aussie rape murder and incest and oh yes coming up poofter bashing of kids before a vote. It seems Peter BH and Andrew Bolt want to keep it that way. How quaint is Bolt and his Troll Peter BH must be in their very late 80s. They are actually running the anti- immigration arguments of the 50s. Arguments run against wogs and dagos and just how they would change this country for the worse. By the 70s we'd moved on and the Turkish an Lebanese restaurants at their most basic had started not to be Turkish,Lebanese,Italian and Greek but the Vietnamese had begun to take over the rung of small business. We hardly noticed the increase of the Muslim population of Bosnians at all. However the the racism and the call to leave the Vietnamese in Vietnam was there. They were as Bolt says now called uneducated despite the fact they were tri-lingual and far smarter than the average Aussie because they valued education more than we did.
Globalization was meant to bring global fluidity and all it's done is brought on economic fluidity of labor and economics but Cultural rigidity The cultural rigidity that wants to put the breaks on this country not for real reasons. The Cultural arguments simply mask the real issues we are facing and that's the corporate take over not by any means the Cultural one. In fact we are busting to get into the Mooroccan Kitchen and the African restaurants in Smith st. Sydney rd couldn't be busier with variety of foods and what are we so proud of Melbourne dining is among the best int he world and yes brought to you by the last wave of wogs and Muzzies
We have heard the jingoistic word before but this time it's all encompassing because the media presence of these narrow minded arseholes like Andrew Bolt is bigger and in control of fewer companies. Andrew Bolt's presence in the media of the 50's and 60's would have been reduced to a leaflet or a titillation in The Truth. He probably would have been an agony aunt.
Bolt the niggard" Essential Media has Malcolm Turnbull maintaining the Liberals’ handy lead over Labor at 52 per cent to 48, after three weeks of media support."gives no credit to Turnbull.
"A small sign of possible cooling from the honeymoon, though:"Searching diligently for Rupert to encourage an early election. Is he encouraging a lossno he's not lauding Shorten is he.
Abbott too was too a leader of a newly formed government two years ago he didn't start from ground zero. How much did he "steal from the Labour Party" and declare as his own? Rudd started "stopping the boats 3 months before. Off shore processing and detention in Malaysia their initiative copied by guess who?, The TPP this was initiated not by Abbott but the Labor Party. The list goes on." Bolt however has no idea of what "transition" means. By the way Bernie Sanders in the US intends to ensure it's not passed.
No he just refuses to acknowledge it. Yes Turnbull has hit the ground running just look at the polls it's what politicians look at. However with luck Andrew Bolt will put paid to that and drag the LNP's high to their deserved status prior to the change of leadership and give the ALP some oxygen. Go Andrew Bolt go News Corp the greatest 5th columnist working for the ALP.
" I can’t say that leaders of the Islamic community have distinguished
themselves in their reaction to the shooting - with the exception of Jamal Rifi, again, and his two friends:" It's strange isn't it as Bolt actually goes out of his way to to defend the Catholic hierarchy for saying and doing as little as possible on pedophilia within the church. He totally side steps the issue when it comes to the Jewish hierarchy.
Since the 60's police have been called pigs disrespected by not only Bolt's "unrepresenative minority" but not only but adults too. Does Bolt actually believe that " “Serves you right I hope them lil piggies get shot”." is not common place that this is the sole domain of Muslim kids? Bolt is amplifying the fact that he actually is a member of some isolated group who misunderstands and is unrepresentative of an Aussie majority. The reaction by this kid might be immature but it's not uncommon. Walk Australia read the graffiti this has been going on for over 50 years. George Brandis said "bigots can be bigots". Has the boy broken any laws? We have heard judges being threatened with death by adults in court rooms with no extra charges laid. So what's going on the police have heard worse. Is there a pubescent terrorist network they have discovered after the fact or just show? The fact is Farhad's family was on their network yet they did nothing. Now well there's a knock on my door!!
Has anybody heard from the Grand Mufti? Has anybody really heard the truth from George Pell? Crime is defined by our laws. Bolt claims to be a traditionalist. "render unto Caesar the things that are Ceasars and the things that are God's unto God. " This is a core of our traditions ignored by Andrew Bolt.
This post is going to be an expanded version of the training philosophy Bolt advocates for our institutons no doubt. The direct opposite to the free thinking challenging learning and problem solving institutions that currently exists.
" The arrogance is astonishing. Does Bruffey purport to represent the
views of all students and staff? This refusal to let other people even
hear another point of view is frightening."Bolt
Let's recall the Festival of Dangerous Minds when Andrew Bolt used his privileged platform at News Corp to stop Hizb-ut-Tahrir speaking. Yes this was the true arrogance from an advocate of free speech and was astonishing. It simply revealed the Orwellian power owning media resources has. It however does not reflect the responsibility.
The notion that every university needs a huckster of international fame on staff comes from where? Internet universities that will sell you what ever degree you want for a shekel. Standards thrown away. Currently we have 4-5 Universities in the Worlds top 50. If Academic staff were of the controversial quality of Bjorn Lomborg whose current academic standing is rated as that of a tutor running some faux department called the Danish Consensus Center currently owned by the Koch Bros and having nothing to do with Denmark then our whole educational industry would be fraught the with risk of going down the tubes.
Lomborg is about to lose his Koch Bros funding of $1mill and was in search of another patron and home. Abbott offered $4mill how much of that was a bribe to the Universities? How much has Abbott already advanced Lomborg or is that a secret to be revealed in 30 years? One doesn't need to set up a department of false ideas repeated adnauseum in order to prove it's standing in the education market place. Can Bolt name one campus that he regards as the appropriate model for his type of education system in the world's top 100? Probably TAFES might come close to being suitable for their apprenticeship style of training. He must have an agonizing time with his kids education even Duntroon encourages radical thinking to buggery and other exciting ideas.
" This is ugly. It’s bad enough that so many students want to stay stupid.
Worse is the intolerance and bullying. God knows where this will lead
to." Bolt
Bolt obviously learned or understood nothing about the learning process. He failed the university and left not the other way round. There is a distinction to be made between what is learned and the process of learning and who is invited on to campuses to address students. Tony Abbott was always active in disrupting free speech using his right to do so a right Bolt denies. Abbott was known as Captain Intolerant.He was accused and charged with sexual molestation of a girl giving a speech. Isn't he your charismatic hero Andrew Bolt?
"Every totalitarian movement starts with people determined to silence
debate. Our universities seem to be training the next generation of Red
Guards." Bolt
Coming from a non Christian, supporter of a secular state and a advocate of "free thinking" Bolt is totally the opposite of what he claims to be. A strict non pluralist who cries out for strict migration policies, intervention or abandonment of those he deems unsuitable to be helped in this country. Loss of citizenship and deportation at the hands of a single minister for an unscheduled list of behaviors deemed un-Australian is Bolt's credo. The non separation of the judiciary, church and state as seen in Israel. Basically while beheading is off his agenda conversion a requirement particularly to the beliefs of Bolt. What you have is a slightly watered down version of a Christian State in much the same form as a Jewish State, Islamic State and Apartheid State.
Link Bolt on Bolt self referencing is singular thinking.
Peter Dutton is the Conservative if he was smart enough he could have turned the conversation any which way. Bolt finds questioning a revolutionary and antaginistic process. Cuing is the appropriate form of reporting for him. Isn't cuing advertising? I guess that's why the Bolt report is basically boring it fails to challenge but tries to sell us what to think. The ABC challenges it's not an advertorial platform like News Corp and nor should it be." If you want good press you need to provide good government" Who said that Tony Abbott.
How to lie with statistics. Bolt is a perfect example. Stats used not to argue for or against Climate Change but simply to show how statistics can be abused in order to defy your intelligence. Just leave out his red line. Even his graph shows the planet has been warming for 36 years. Bolt logic. stick to the training manual forget what actually emerges from the data. Find how you can make data fit your conclusion. The planet has been warming since records first started. Unless of course you only look at the red square.
UPDATE
"
I am absolutely sick of climate alarmism:" Andrew Bolt
Now that's an intelligent response from someone addressing a global scientific issue with a list of non global but only local evidence. Bolt continually does this as do other commentators and all are wrong. Local differences don't address the global evidence available and being sick of it and throwing an irrational tantrums does absolutely nothing to address the global issue. Bolt and Faine can argue until the cows come home about the probability of local events being anomalies or the direct effect of global conditions. Bolt has added nothing.
However Bolt has presented 36 years of global evidence in the form of a graph dated from 1979. However Bolt's distortion is that he simply points to a partial measurement to try to prove a point which the total and homogenized graph contradicts. Global warming as shown here shows warming has occurred not only since 1979 but since records have begun.
UPDATE
Australia is going to the Paris talks with the least Ret target than most developed countries. Nobody disagrees with Climate Science anymore. Even Conservative countries like UK where 80% emission reduction has been legislated by 2050. Climate change is not going to wait for Australia countries will turn their backs on us and coal. Don't pretend we are doing better!!

Oh, Industry Funds are ok but Union funds a no no. Even though they have been far out performing others with lower than average fees. You don't hear that from Bolt. Does Bolt believe members would bail on funds providing superior yields?
What a surprise money and politics go hand in glove. Your money in the banks was invested in areas of bank interest with fees and charges much higher than Union Funds producing extremely low yields and accusations of conflict of interest. Banks forwarding your money into their favored clients not the researched best investments. If Bolt denies this let it be said I've had money invested in 4 CBA funds for a net yield of 2%pa after some 12 years. I manage my own Super property for a return of close to 400% with no management fees taken out rain or shine.
If Bolt had his way he'd have further regulation on anything Union and deregulation on anything non Union. Basically if he could he'd outlaw any workers associations. Slave labor is well and good in a free market place and needs to be encouraged. Conservative associations don't invite opposing thoughts to their meetings why is it so surprising the left do the same. They'd like a meetings that members approve of. "The arrogance is astonishing. The refusal to even hear another point of view is frightening." Bolt
True arrogance is Bolt whose concept of learning is training yet again the ISIS method of conversion "we will teach you" or else. Imagine the paucity of skills his kids have in problem solving if required to adhere to Bolt's training manual. It's for this reason alone Bolt is not only a liar but a hypocrite. He simply can't practice what he preaches.

Bolt's UPDATE
This seems to be an add for one of the most poorest and most corrupt nations in the world. It allows any body who can pay set up pedophilia as a business in the guise of orphanages. A country that has no children's justice system that allows children to be used in any matter of ways. It's the country where small business isn't encouraged without huge payments made to authorities first payments not necessary if you are connected. It's a nation based primarily on who you are as opposed to what you know. A country where Australia's $55 million paid to resettle 4 refugees one of whom has left and gone back to Iran to face punishment rather than stay. Where did the money go into Black air conditioned Rolls Royces driven by government officials or their off spring. Bolt is advertising a country with an anarchistic wealthy as an economic paradise. Total bullshit. 5 Signs Someone is Trying to Manipulate You
Since when has politics and religion become a public domain. Who you vote for has never been a question on any job application that I know and the ballot box has always been a sacrosanct area. Since when has Andrew Bolt been the leader of a party demanding hands in the air voting. Does he do the rounds of News Corpse demanding to know who people vote for? Does he actually know who all members of the Liberal Party actually voted for on ballot day. The simple answer is no and it's private as is your religion.
His attack on Jones by Bolt is as ludicrous as an attack on him would have been when he once worked for the Labour Party in Darwin and did his job without puking or fear he might be asked "Who do you vote for" or "what religion are you"? Can we imagine Grand Inquisitors standing over us ensuring every move is totally devoid of politics. No Bolt's demands are closer to the demands of ISIS when it comes to the purity he's looking for. You see Zacky Muller can't express his opinions on the ABC but Bolt demands Troy Newman to be allowed to even though his partner was jailed for actually bombing an abortion clinic not just threatening to. That's Bolt's idea of fairness. His moderators police the comments allowed on his blog. He's allowed but is that Bolt's idea of fairness? It just wouldn't do to see the flood of disagreement.
Link Paywall To Murdoch's Australian Nick Cater Consevative
Talking about all or nothing is what makes Nick Cater and Andrew Bolt economic buffoons.They snidely pick one of many economic moves able to help reduce the deficit and bag it as if it's the one and only policy in a package? A saving of only $2 billion that's no good, so discard it.
Removing a concession from the rich is not the end all or be all of any economic policy. But when proffered in a group by all interested parties it has a greater chance of being passed than if made as just a captain's call. To be agreed to in a summit is the reverse of Abbott's style of negotiating policies that's for sure. If it does reduce the deficit by $2bill why aren't they applauding it as a good start? Heaven help us, the rich in "their" society as opposed to "ours" are obviously untouchables. They are the renters, interest takers and capital gains receivers the most unproductive among us who merely achieved their wealth through inheritance. They are the recipients of the greatest source of subsidised private welfare. Don't they deserve to share in any burden we choose to apply to fix our economic problems? Taxing Super will help save us!
