Fighting Fake News with REAL 30/9/21; China at war with Coal, Australia t world top emission exporter; The American Model of the World's best Practice

 China makes progress in fight against climate change

 Xi’s announcement signals the end of coal-fired power plant development outside China. Developing countries such as Vietnam and the Philippines, seen until recently as sources of future demand growth for coal, are now taking part in a program in which the Asian Development Bank will buy coal-fired plants with the sole purpose of shutting them down. At least as significant and somewhat more surprising has been a renewed commitment to limit the development of coal-fired power in China itself. The National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), the Government’s central planning agency, has released a new plan on energy consumption that includes requiring all provinces to review already permitted high-emissions projects, including those under construction. Combined with the emissions trading market launched in July, this development suggests that Xi’s stated goal of reaching a peak in China’s coal consumption by 2026 may well be reached. China pushes for a cleaner climate China pushes for a cleaner climate Despite escalating tensions between nations, China is taking positive steps towards reaching net-zero carbon emission targets.

Our political leaders will do anything to stay in positions of power, including deceiving the voting public on urgent matters of climate change, writes Sue Arnold. PERHAPS THE MOST IMPORTANT issue facing this nation is not the pandemic, economic scenarios or nuclear submarines but a perilous lack of critical thinking and analysis by political parties, the mainstream media and a large majority of Australians.

 Prime Minister Scott Morrison, right, with Indonesia leader Joko Widodo in Canberra last year.

Australia ‘must act’ to halt Indonesia falling under China’s sway

While high-ranking politicians from the US, UK and Asia have visited Indonesia in the last year, Australia hasn’t sent anyone - but China is strengthening links.

In 2013 America called Abbott the "pivot of the pacific" he ignored them and was a Eurocentric Anglophile preferring to concentrate on our relations with the UK, EU building our war memorials there, restoring knighthoods here,and wanting to shirtfront Putin. Nothing much has changed Morrison has done little in our region and instead has concentrated his and Australia's White Western Christian hopes and relations with other like minded ex colonial nations the US and UK on the other side of the planet.

The LNP has left us increasingly looking like South Africa once was, an outsider on the African continent, and we the outsiders in the Pacific region. We are increasing our capacity to manufacture arms saying they are for "export" and demanding we increase our own domestic and secret surveillance ability with the success of the An0m platform. We are building a stockade Australia. The racist Afrikaners fought for what they said was their god given right too and they taught the kids their short and glorious blinkered history too.  The sound of those drums beating has increased here too stronger than even the 50's and 60s that took us to invade Vietnam. It's not a great time to be colored in this country. Ask the Biloela family.

 Karen Andrews speaks at a press conference with Scott Morrison standing behind her

Minister rules out NZ or US resettlement for Biloela Tamil family

The continuing march of an Asshole PM and his government. One that has brought Australia into disrepute in the eyes of the world in the most barbaric way despite it's citizens appeals. It shows our politics doesn't serves people or humanity but only the rule to win. Morrison has drawn the line in the sand that defines who or who isn't allowed in Australia and it's solely political and allows no room for exceptional cases nor any assistance from any third parties either other than Cambodia

‘Consequences of blinking’: Minister warns about taking softer line on Biloela family

  Typical of Cash and he forthrightness she immediately blamed the children's parents for attempting to seek asylum here with their children.

Attorney-General Michaelia Cash said the parents “had the children in Australia knowing the rules” and the government’s “very, very tough stance” on asylum seekers who arrived by boat.

“You do not think the people smugglers do not watch Australia each and every day? They do,” she said at a business breakfast event in Perth on Wednesday.

“We are exploring alternatives, but I believe, personally, it is the right stance because of the consequences of blinking.” 

Meanwhile

Opposition Leader Anthony Albanese said he had heard first-hand from the Biloela community that they wanted the family to come home to the town.

“This family are valued members of that local community. These two girls are not a threat to Australia’s national sovereignty,” he said.

Australia is not an island when it comes to the forces that fostered Trump

  Scott Morrison was asked what he admired about Donald Trump. He answered, “He's a strong leader, who says what he's going to do and then goes and does it. I mean, I can always rely on President Trump to follow through on what he says.” 2019

Morrison was prepared to say a lot about Trump back then but he's reluctant to be forthcoming now unlike so many of other American allies even Israel has spoken out. He seems more in line with Saudi Arabia than he is with Canada , UK, Germany and France and definitely in line with Trump in his refusal to comment.

Australia’s democracy is in good shape too. The success of the national cabinet process — which saw cooperation between the conservative federal and mostly Labor state governments — in orchestrating Australia’s effective response to COVID-19 is only the latest example of how effectively our system works. And while contempt for political leaders among Australians is high, so is our appreciation of the freedoms our democracy delivers. According to the 2019 Freedom in the World report, Australia ranks sixth of 86 independent nations that display the qualities of a liberal democracy.

Homers may have shunned masks because Trump told them too. But if Marges wear them, Homers can too. Homers may parrot “hoax” and “fake news” but if Marges pay attention to facts and science, Homers can be convinced to do the same. Homers may back the blue, but if Marges can weep for George Floyd, Homers can understand that recognising black lives matter is simple human decency.

Marge might also help Homer realise that many who claim to represent him are frauds. Those who he has been listening to — Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson and Rush Limbaugh — make more money in a day than Homers make in a year. These Sideshow Bobs are the true elites. Do Rupert Murdoch and his fellow Mr Burns billionaires give a damn about Homers? When was the last time a Homer was spotted at Mar-a-Lago?

Still, most Homers will continue to vote Republican. That’s who they are. But they are not immoral and they have not been lost to Trump’s cult. They backed Trump because he was their candidate. Now the Trump show has been canceled. Sooner or later the repeats will fade away. And the Homers will move on.

Many Homers don’t know it yet, but Joe Biden cares more about them than Donald Trump, Mitch McConnell and Ted Cruz ever will.

Some have figured this out already. In time it might dawn on the rest. And when that day comes, they may quote their cartoon namesake: “D’oh!”

KEVIN RUDD CALLS ME ‘SEXIST’? WHAT A HYPOCRITE

Kevin Rudd's rants against News Corp continue: "Murdoch’s Bolt going for the double...: rancid sexism and climate denial. In his world, Boris Johnson’s positive climate policies can only be explained by a nefarious woman..."  His mischaracterisation is one thing. His hypocrisy is another. See, I recall what Rudd whispered to me about Julia Gillard.

 One wonders why Bolt deleted this blog? Why even he thought it was unsuitable? Did reason overcome him and make him feel vulnerable?

 This isn't about Rudd it all about me me me Andrew Bolt and yet another opportunity to say "I'm here and put me on Center Stage" It's also about when somebody calls Bolt a rancid sexist and climate denier Bolt's only response is the typical school boy one. " No you're the sexist and.. not me". 

Did Rudd mischaracterise Andrew Bolt? Well for a start Bolt works for a billionaire climate denier whose son James walked out on him for that very reason because dad places greater importance on profit than the planet. Bolt doesn't just work for Rupert Murdoch more than anyone at Sky and the Herald Sun he's been his servant. Who else would call their first born James as his master has?

As for being sexist Bolt has a history full of  it from his wife Sally the dependent who weighs him down the only breadwinner to those women he calls "fright bats" and loves to mock. Then there's Yassmin Abdel-Magied who he helped run out of the country. He's tried to shove his otherwise team mate Miranda Devine aside because she was a woman but bit off more than he could chew and denied the existense of his ex fiance why? His excuse a woman his wife who  he was "protecting" because she was too fragile and he was Gallahad.

This isn't about who or what Rudd is or Rudd isn't. Whether he's in denial or being a hypocrite it's about Bolt being what he claims he isn't but says Rudd is by putting the focus on himself and claiming he is the victim.

DON’T THANK GANGSTER IRAN FOR FREEING KYLIE MOORE-GILBERT

Academic Kylie Moore-Gilbert has been freed at last by Iran. But don't thank these fascist gangsters. They jailed an innocent woman for two years on fake charges she was a spy, and have freed her only in exchange for three suspected terrorists. Yes, Australia has rewarded hostage diplomacy.

We don't know what happened to Kylie and nor does Andrew Bolt. It just an opportunity to say he does and an opportunity to denigrate Iran. It seems Kylie doesn't have the same appetite for dragging Iran down as Bolt does.  Again it's Bolt with a platform putting himself forward in front of Moore-Gilbert and  saying that he and News Corp have the REAL news without bothering to wait for the facts to evolve.

For instance was Kylie in the wrong place at the wrong time? What and who was the man with whom she had a relationship? Was he the primary target of the Iranian government? As for being a "gangster government" Bolt should turn to the assassin squads of Israel and the US even self examine why Australia imprisons people for decades for little more than coming here by boat and asking for asylum. No Bolt needs to fill the 24/7 news cycle with propaganda first just fill it right or wrong is of no account. Any real evidence is inconsequential even dangerous as it might put Iran in a softer light. Simply call those we don't like "Gangsters" and get in first.

 Poor leadership is the number one cause of failure for tech startups
“If the current approach of telling everyone to stay home is to be lifted, widespread and faster testing will be needed to identify infected people for isolation. Easing stay-at-home orders in the absence of sufficient testing would risk reigniting the outbreak.”
The question is: Where were WHO, NIH, CDC, health ministers, prime ministers, presidents? Why did the leadership of the Western World sit on its hands for three months? Has history ever experienced a worse and more complete failure of leadership?
Leadership is absent, because the West has been organized to serve private selfish interests with agendas inimical to the public interest. The People accepted lies and deception, and now we are paying the price.

1 day ago - Fox News is facing intense scrutiny for its initial coverage of the coronavirus pandemic and a lawsuit filed in Washington is asking a state court to bar the network from sharing false information about the pandemic. The top-rated network was sued Thursday by the Washington League ...
 Some Fox News Media opinion hosts have been dismissive of the dangers of the coronavirus, especially in the virus’ earlier days in America. Former Fox Business host Trish Regan, for instance, described it as another effort to impeach President Donald Trump. She and her network parted ways at the end of March.
Fox News — which Thursday gave $1 million to Feeding America in a joint donation with Facebook designed to ease the strain of the pandemic — began implementing work-from-home strategies for employees in mid-March, ramping up efforts to keep employees home as the virus spread. Hosts who still appeared in the studio started sitting six feet apart and the tone of coverage started to change as Fox News added two additional doctors to its roster of contributors.

FAKE NEWS 

PLEASE ACCEPT SUCCESS: VIRUS DOWN TO CRAWL, EMPTY BEDS

COLUMN Who can now deny it? The worst is not happening with the coronavirus and our politicians must tell us their exit strategy. Three weeks ago newspapers declared: “Australia prepares for 50,000 to 150,000 deaths.” Two weeks ago, they shouted: “Australian ICU beds to run out by April 5.”  But look 35 deaths as of this morning and lots of empty beds.
1h ago 
Please accept success planet Australia is now safe the government can let go and we can now go back to the privatised normal we once had. Pity about the planet Earth we are on. There is no "back to privatised normal" Andrew Bolt' Going back today can be readily seen as" abnormal". The abnormal that allowed us to witness the fact the planet is suffering a pandemic and the West and Capitalism can't cope on a large scale and Australia is just a part of it. The planet is burning and Bolt talks as if he's no "we" are not on it. 
The 1% of Oligarchs lost control and they and their association the IPA want it back to the pre-pandemic control of working Australia it would seem. If we all went back to work and lived Bolt's and their dream our economy would be saved halleluja.
Which industries do he and the IPA regard as essential to go back to? How many workers do they need? their executives or their serfs?  Why do they believe they won't have been and won't continue to be affected by this global pandemic causing a halt to world trade? Furthermore, is Bolt suggesting companies to employ all the workers laid off or let supply and demand choose?  How many will be called and how many remain unemployed. Bolt has certainly been living in "isolation" hasn't he? In a dream world divorced from reality that things will go back to the "abnormal" and as they were. He and his association with the total want of the IPA is certainly a voice from Cloud Cuckoo Land. No logistics simply give business private control back and stop this unwanted government interference and over costly socialism expansion interfering with the previously "rigged" system. He's even begging.

12% FALL IN VICTORIANS SICK RIGHT NOW AS VIRUS SPREAD SLOWS TO 2%

So when can we discuss an exit strategy from these devastating bans?: "As at 6:00am on 6 April 2020, there have been 5,744 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Australia. There have been 109 new cases since 6:00am yesterday." That's just 2 per cent more new cases.  Take away recoveries, and Victoria now has 72 fewer sick people than last Wednesday.
1h ago 
How pushy is Bolt with selective facts taken out of context while he works from home? How may times a week has Bolt been comprehensively tested or even the medical staff on the front line? How many Australians have been tested? Bolt asked that question once to prove how little COVID death there is in Australia and that we don't know! Now he selling a tale that tests aren't really necessary because he has the evidence to extrapolate what's unknown.  News Corp has laid staff off and is practising Social- Distancing. Bolt isn't accusing them of overreach. But he is demanding everyone else needs to drop bans set by this suddenly dangerous expanding Socialist Government. Is he frightened he'll be shut down on a show that can't be run or secure on failing advertising and an NBN that can't cope? 
What this pandemic is a realisation of is the Oligarchy's shit scared of losing ground. It reveals Privatisation simply can't deal with the common good only self-interest. Self -interest, in this case, was the well laid out 75 point plan set down by the Oligarchy and presented by their Association the IPA. The policies developed with Howard then adhered to by Abbott and the LNP when they came to power. They adopted that 75pt plan with the full backing of  Murdoch Media and the financial power so obvious in that "miracle election" of $80 Mill vs $20 Morrison won.   How the fuck did that happen it wasn't a "hallelujah" that's for sure.
Global? There is nothing global about anti-internationalists and assimilationists like Andrew Bolt. Australia isn't a separate planet. There is nothing that unifies the common good globally than a pandemic and more so Climate Change and the planet-warming. There is no greater threat than economics run by an International Corporate Magi of tax avoiders. Get back to work their current cry but even that today doesn't even mean everyone. If we do see an unemployment spike after a return Bolt will become the voice of the apologist for why people had to lose their jobs, the overreach.

 News Corp and Sky will have been changed they won't escape self-examination but changed for whose benefit? Will they really need Andrew Bolt? They are already being sued in the USA as they once were in the UK for misinformation and irresponsible and fake journalism causing harm. Do they need the IPA as Fox needs Citizens United? Or does the LNP need them both as donors and propagandists? To grab the Australian narrative they need to rid us of the ABC and they have been working on that for over two decades.

No mention here as to why the epidemiological certainty of the age group affected by COVID is changing that younger people are contracting the illness. Nothing about the failure of logic and the practical inability found efforts of herd immunity to solve the contagion now advocated by Andrew Bolt in order to loosen government controls. No mention of a News Corp staff revolt against the practice of social- distancing at Murdoch Media. While Andrew Bolt's advocating the opposite for others to stop. It's called media hypocrisy in the service of profit. Don't do what it is you expect others to.

  FAKE AND TWISTED NEWS

 

RACISM ALERT: WHITE LEFTISTS TELL ABORIGINES A WHITE MAN IS ONE OF THEM

COLUMN What’s racist? Not believing a white man who says he’s Aboriginal? Or not believing Aborigines who say he isn’t? I’m confused by the Left's furious defence of "Aboriginal historian" Bruce Pascoe. Why do they think they know better than three Aboriginal leaders whether Pascoe belongs to their tribes? 
45m ago 
 Bolt's ignorance is patently clear, and confusion stems from his ignorance. How many trees make a forest? How many prejudiced individuals does it take to be racist? How many beans make a heap?
A forest a heap and racism are all concepts describing and explaining how trees beans and people relate. Racism is established patterns of behaviour that have developed to disadvantage ensure a lesser degree of opportunity for s a group simply either due to their colour or heritage.
Given that Aborigines and first peoples have and continue to suffer racism in Australia that came with the first whites to arrive here. The patterns of and structures of how we relate to each other ensure whites are racist and Indigenous Australians aren't and evidence is to be found in every social metric. 
Anger and pushback can be experienced among Indigenous a white Australians it's neither left or racist, but it a demand for equality and fairness. Bolt denial is racist it's far more than just conservative but borders on racial fascism as was in the Netherlands during WW2 when 80% of Dutch Jews never survived.  
Bolt's insistence that his is the ability to define race and that of Bruce Pascoe's is indicative of the fact that he and only he knows how many trees it takes to make a forest or what colour determines a race. He is typical of an adherent of Apartheid which was South African and is now practised in Israel. Bolt simply wriggles in the denial of history and the patterns of behaviour that he regards as normal, and angers when peoples who he defines as unequal and unworthy of being called his "us" pushback. He flips and then calls himself the victim of their racism. The schoolyard bully who calls his victims the bullies the child.

PASCOE'S ABC WORSHIPPERS AND THE DEATH OF DOUBT



Bolt is reduced to abuse mockery and personal attack as do all bullies when they have little or nothing to say. Yet it's Bolt that demands manners when debating. The man proves himself adequate as a twit in a Monty Python sketch. Bullies throw rocks and abuse and call it wisdom.

THERE'S NO 'US' SAYS ABC, WHICH ONCE SAID IT WAS RACIST TO SAY SO

COLUMN The ABC’s new reporting rules sure kicked in when Usman Khan stabbed two people to death in London. No fewer than four ABC reports — one on TV lasting more than six minutes — refused to mention the killer was Muslim. The explanation is in the new staff guidelines the ABC has issued for reporting terrorism attacks.  
3h ago

It was no surprise when Andrew Bolt went silent for 3 days after the Christchurch massacre. He had spent years telling his Australian "us" they needed to fight back against Muslims with the same conviction as Muslims did. He clearly said admired the conviction of the Barcelona terrorists  and wished 'we' believed as much and fought back.
Sky News was cut off by NZ for their attempts to televise the Christchurch shooter's message live. They couldn't stay on the air long enough.
There certainly was an "us" in Bolt's mind when an Australian ran amok. However, Bolt's loud silence was noticed when Jacinda Adern said the shooter's name and details would never be mentioned in NZ and ought not be mentioned anywhere else.
Bolt was between a rock and a hard place lost for words he couldn't say that the shooter had been provoked or had the conviction that he admired as he did after Barcelona. On any other day, there would have been an "us" from Bolt, but Adern and the world caged him.
Bolt spent years accusing and abusing Islam provoking its extremes and just as often praising any demonstrative action by those Christians he called "us". Calling Christians to respond has been a central strategy of his as well. Bolt threw verbal gasoline onto a fire just as Alan Jones did during the Cronulla riots of 2005.
The ABC like Jacinda Adern offers no encouragement in the promotion that Bolt claimed after Christchurch he doesn't do. He reserved that denial for when shit hit the fan. However, he's back now that Christchurch is a distant memory and Adern stance has been adopted by the ABC. He certainly is a hypocrite telling us he was with Adern one moment and is now very opposite again.

Israel to hold fresh elections after 'religious law' stalemate defeats Netanyahu

Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has suffered a stunning defeat after he failing to meet a midnight deadline to form a new government, casting a cloud over his future as leader and thrusting Israel into the chaos of a new election.
Lieberman, whose five seats made him a kingmaker, said he supported Netanyahu but had refused to compromise with religious parties on a law that would end the wholesale exemption of ultra-Orthodox men from conscription.
Netanyahu said that position was a ruse.
"Lieberman never intended to reach an agreement," Netanyahu said. "He clearly wanted to shoot down this government, and he is doing so because he reckons he will receive a few more votes."
"He won't succeed," Netanyahu added, before hurling the ultimate insult: "Avigdor Lieberman is now part of the left."


 Another Week of National Shame | The Smirking Chimp

Kim — friend of Trump, international outlaw and a paranoid, homicidal cutthroat who giddily obliterates his own political opponents and even family members with anti-aircraft weaponry — called Biden a "fool of low I.Q." after Biden had called the tyrant a tyrant. "[I] smiled when he called Swampman Joe Biden a low IQ individual, & worse," tweeted Trump, who is still in search of the perfectly juvenile epithet to apply to the former vice president and future president.
So there you have it: A U.S. president siding with a brutal psychotic on foreign soil against "a fellow American," presidential candidate and one of the most respected men in the country. So yes, I am ashamed to be an American. Notwithstanding my uninterrupted opposition to our grifter in chief, I'm still part of the diseased body politic that put him in office. We are all tainted, it seems to me, and shall remain so until this norm-busting, American institutions-loathng, lawbreaking colossus of sleaze is bounced from the White House, one way or the other.

US President Donald Trump has ordered his Attorney-General William Barr to investigation the investigation into the Trump campaign's Russia links.

 Donald Trump is damaging Australia's reputation. We shouldn't be so relaxed

Let's stop pretending it's normal for the President to name Australia as a possible conspirator against the US
  Scott Morrison, asked whether Australia was part of a conspiracy to launch the probe, refused to dismiss the suggestion, saying he wouldn't comment on ongoing investigations - as if this were even a legitimate subject of inquiry.
 Mueller might not have found evidence of a criminal conspiracy but his report does detail a "veritable blizzard of contacts between Trumpworld and the Russians" and constitutes "an ugly story for Trump".
 Trump has said indicates he wants to go for the political jugular of his opponents, calling the investigation "a coup" and "an attempted overthrow of the United States government".
That was on Fox News, watched by millions of Americans. He's since linked Australia to the supposed coup.
Given his history of publicly roughing up even the US's closest allies, does anyone think he'll give the barest thought to Australia's reputation in the US as he pursues his vendetta?

Milo in Australia is only about the money and the theatrics nothing at all to do with any principles. Just a group of wheelers and dealers operating out of SELF-INTEREST. Andrew Bolt used  Lauren Southern in much the same way. It's all about business not about principles. The losers in the mix are the people of Australia with a bill for $ 50,000 unpaid. Milo well, in reality, he's just a tool for them all trying to save himself from bankruptcy only to find a bunch of fair weather friends ready to give him the flick...... Class Bolt class (ODT)

Milo Yiannopoulos and his touring manager attempted to use their network of powerful conservatives including Andrew Bolt and Alan Jones to lobby the Morrison government to overturn a decision to deny the notorious political commentator a visa.
The concerted effort to influence Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton and others in the government allegedly included Liberal National MP George Christensen and One Nation leader Pauline Hanson.
 Mr Yiannopoulos repeatedly pressed Mr Costas to transfer him thousands of dollars he claims he was owed from a previous tour, writing he will be “evicted from my home because you didn’t pay when you promised,” according to the documents.

  • There is speculation the Morrison Government will swap preferences with One Nation to hold marginal seats in Queensland

 Footage shows  vicious brawl involving at least six at MCG after AFL season opener

Andrew Bolt truly is a fruitloop isn't? He looks around the world to find events to make his generalised point but doesn't look in his own backyard because there's nothing there convincing enough to support his unwarranted conclusions. Shootings murder and brawls going on here but he can't show them because they are neither Muslim or black. Two days back he was trying to tell us how violence was universal and had no colour or religion now it back to normal that news cycle is over.(ODT)

Up to six footy fans involved in a bloody brawl that marred the first match of the AFL season are expected to be banned from future games, AFL boss Gillion McLachlan says.
Video footage shows at least six men involved in a melee in front of young children at the MCG following the final siren on Thursday night.
Footage shows a blond-haired man in a Richmond singlet punching another man in the face and knocking him down. He continues to lay into the man while he is on the ground.
The man also lashes out at another man in the crowd before his friends pull him away.










1m Look at Bolt yelling "look at me I'm like the ABC" bragging how he let Dr Robert Di Natale on his show. Firstly Bolt would never dis Cardinal Pell by refusing him his title. The man who talks about "politeness and respect" when it comes to debate refuses the good Dr his title. Bolt denies what he's been called a recruiter and inspirer of right-wing fruitcake violence whether it's ISIS or Tarrant.  He has little, or no intelligence Bolt merely takes what he's been called and labelled and has nonsensically stuck them on Dr Natale?
Bolt's promoter of hate-speech and believes it ought to be free, and in every context, nobody needs to be jailed for expressing their opinions publicly or in any place. That's about as stupid a belief as Bolt can express context, custom and meaning has just been abandoned. Bolt loves to call himself an Indigenous Australian, and he does that too in the weird of places.
 The man who doesn't inspire violence supported Fraser Anning's reaction to eggboy. What is surprising Bolt held back from calling eggboy Antifa? You see Bolt was pranked too glittered, not egged, and he struck out and continued to strike out with unrelenting menace and called it justified. The pranksters were trying to get away peacefully, but Bolt simply wasn't having a bar of that. His excuse but no proof they were ANTIFA. Simply because ANTIFA said they were. Bolt's always had the habit of supporting the words of these groups fact or not ISIS makes a claim ATIFA makes a claim, and he's there with them saying it's true. If any authority says, it's not Bolt's yelling liar or conspiracy.
So who is the active inspirer of violence here the Dr or Andrew Bolt? " I have been attacked in the street by your kind of voters" " I can't walk out of my house without fear" The only central element in this debate is Bolt who is fixed on himself, while Dr Robert di Natale is speaking about facts and the 'we' of Melbourne. That's Bolt's notion of free speech but is that reasoned debate? Bolt may be the centre of his universe a solipsist but not the centre of ours. There is no sharing in Bolt's world unless it's his.
Bolt is a moron trying to blame Natale for what he hasn't attended to in life, and the world. Di Natale's a Domestic politician Bolt is a domestic supposedly a domestic commentator who spends an inordinate time not speaking about Australia at all but referring to events in Senegal as if they ought to be in the forefront of all Australian lives. You lose because you didn't know. He's not a debater, but he zigs and zags so much he so often gets tongue-tied. He's a brawler, not a debator. Reasoned debate there was none that's The Bolt Report for you and for that alone Bolt lost and he always does.

Did Bolt raise this and the 240 killed in Gaza 40 of them children No he raise the Netherland and the Philipines how much doesn't he know than Dr Robert Di Natali?  Lets debate on what we all don't know. How stupid is Bolt all he did was yell? Did he even win that?

Andrew Bolt is simply incapable of having a reasoned discussion about this, and he is the guy holding up the banner below

White Supremacy in Australia Set the Stage for the Christchurch Massacre
The mainstreaming of hate has become routine, in both the media and politics.

Lowenstein a Jew wouldn't be at all surprised by Andrew Bolt's denials that he helped influence  the terror in NZ (ODT)

Revulsion over the Christchurch massacre was widespread in Australia, but I remain unconvinced that the country’s major media companies have any real interest in taking responsibility for their platforming of hate. It will be much easier to shed faux tears and then quickly get back to demanding that Australian Muslims show loyalty to their country (after the Christchurch killings, Murdoch tabloids found a way to try to humanize the murderer). Conservative media and their political mates have fanned the flames of racism for years, so don’t expect them to become self-reflective now. Eradicating this poison will require a sustained grassroots effort.Antony Loewenstein 

Toxic tribalism and the sad, broken state of Australian conversation

When ABC journalist Patricia Karvelas tweeted after Christchurch, the response was both swift and revealing.

  1. A top UK cop urges Australia to reinvest in terror prevention as far-right referrals rise

    As the threat of far-right terrorism is thrown into sharp focus after the Christchurch massacre, the head of the UK's deradicalisation program urges Australia and other liberal democracies to invest in programs designed to stop extremism before it's too late.

    "far right referrals rise" what's, does that really mean? It's always been a case of the people against the far right for the past two decades. The far right has been at war with itself all this time if one thinks about it. ISIS and any radical Muslim pushback against the West has been an extreme right-wing battle.
     Islamic extremists are right-wing fundamentalists at work there was no sense of an Islamic Revolution by any left -wing just another right-wing despotic attempt to take over. The Western reaction has been the practical use by far-right politics to use hatred and division focussed against those other right-wing radicals for their own political gain. Murdoch media with Fox in the US Sky and News Corp in Aus and the UK have merely turned politics into a global right-wing narrative. Mussolini's Fascist business model of Corporate government now exists more than ever in diminishing Western Democracies. Is the West racing to become like the Latino states of the last century?
