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.

RACE PROTESTER TESTS POSITIVE. SOME LIVES DON'T MATTER
Some lives don't matter to race protesters: "A person who
attended the [Melbourne] Black Lives Matter rally has tested positive
for coronavirus. The state’s chief health officer said it was 'unlikely'
the virus had been acquired at the protest but cautioned that they may
have been infectious at the rally."

As if Bolt cares what happens to those that attended the BLM rally. He doesn't even care about his job anymore just works to rule and leaves on Thursdays. However, Andrew Bolt spreads an infection far worse where ever he goes and whenever he opiinionates and it's hate and division. While the Left tries to unite the majority Bolt spreads the seeds of hatred. Muslim hate, African Hate, China Hate Indigenous hate and more. He simply hates Democracy which when push comes to shove is hate of Australia or people in general. The "good people" and outcomes he supports aren't generous or for the diversity of Australian workers and their families the productive powerhouse of the nation but the power elite whose control guarantees the management as minimal as it is not for merit but the monopolisation and protection of wealth and profit as is. Bolt's merely a News Corp marionette a network supporter of a diverse group of CEO's IPA members and LNP members dependant on protecting and growing a common cause but it's not Australia or any allegiance to the people who live here only profit and that as a cultural value above all. His personal retirement dream is to get out of the place.
Bolt's hypocrisy is patently evident he's a social distancer who insists debt-ridden Australians should get back to work and risk catching a virus in his service. He claims the unknown but exponentially spreadable disease is trivial why? To prevent his assets and investments from rapidly depreciating. Yet, here he is feigning concern over BLM protesters who felt their necessity was to rise and be heard was more important to them than any virus and any laws put in place to silence them. We don't see the Bolt's or Corporate managers marching when busted for robbing workers blind. In other words, the BLM uprising was a conscious choice to be on the street, unlike those Melbournians who don't want to hear, see or to continuously experience the infectious hate Andrew Bolt spreads under the banner of "free speech" and Law & Order.
Systemic racism has posed a much greater threat to public health and Andrew Bolt's concern ignores that altogether.
STATUES DESTROYED BY BARBARIANS DEMANDING PURITY
COLUMN
Our new race warriors must be so pure, when they now want to tear down statues to people they say have sinned. Never mind the good they did -
never mind that one is even to a leader who gave women the vote. Down they come! The new barbarians demand purity - by their hypocritical,
vicious, ignorant new standards.
11/06/2020
I'm not sure statues need to be destroyed but they might be of more use if correctly labelled for the evil they represent rather than the glory. Possibly their opposites next to them those that history did everything to hide an bury. Macquarie was a celebrated governor of NSW who issued orders that encouraged settlers to conduct the race wars in that state. Quite at ease to have indigenous Australians massacred or forced into slavery for King and Country. His statues torn down might just be a step to forget rather than remember the evils done to bring us where we are today.
Post WW2 The Germans ensured the worst of what Germany had done was taught in schools from primary schools in fact. Furthermore that the new history was compulsory lest it be forgotten. Not so in Australia where the History has been a concentration celebration and glorification of myths to bury otherwise inglorious episodes of our past.
The Dutch, British Japanese and Americans are experts in presenting their histories in much the same way or burying the past.
Lt.
Col. Alexander Vindman, who listened to President Trump's Ukraine call,
said the White House transcript of a July call between President Donald Trump
and Ukraine's President omitted crucial words and phrases, and that his
attempts to restore them failed, according to three people familiar
with the testimony.
It is not clear why some of Vindman's changes were not made, while
others he recommended were, but the decision by a White House lawyer to
quickly lock down the reconstructed transcript subverted the normal
process of handling such documents.
"I did not think it was proper to demand that a foreign government investigate a US citizen, and I was worried about the implications for the US government's support of Ukraine," according to his opening remarks. He added, "This would all undermine US national security."
In the whistleblower complaint that was made public, the CIA officer
wrote that placing the rough transcript in the server was part of an
effort to lock it down, restrict access and a sign that "White House
officials understood the gravity of what had transpired in the call."
One of WA's biggest electricity generators is making moves to ensure it has the power to take control of a loss-making coal mine, sparking fears for jobs and energy security.
CRAZED ANTI-MINING PROTESTERS AGAINST A MINE TO HELP MAKE SOLAR PANELS
Terry McCrann on crazed climate protesters in Melbourne: "Stuart Jones ... and his company are ‘climate criminals’ to those loitering Jeff’s shed idiots... Jones was down at the IMARC mining conference ... to sell his [lithium] project... That’s about a product without which we wouldn’t have solar panels."
Generalising from a single selectively chosen case to broad speculation about the protest is what's known as Bolt logic. It's probably why Bolt never did comleter his University course.
Stuart Jones just happened to be one person at the Mining Conference along with a wide cast of attendees the majority of whom weren't there to promote the interests of clean energy. Still, then McCrann and Bolt choose to create fake news to broadcast their message, and it doesn't come without cost.
NEW LAW TO HELP LABOR AND STOP POOR PALMER FROM WASTING MONEY
Queensland's Labor Government smells: "Campaign finance reforms in Queensland would still allow unions and GetUp to spend up to $1m each...and allow the Palaszczuk government to run taxpayer-funded ads when political party spending is restricted... For a party, that would limit the amount spent in any electorate to $92,000."
What does anybody consider the value of the Courier Mail and the Australian support to be? Along with Sky News After Dark, it would be immeasurable? Will the reforms even touch the sides of these biased, conservative donors, lobbyists and influencers? They are neither news nor information alone. The Unions and GetUp have to raise the first money to be heard. Murdoch media business can run at a loss and still be heard, as there's a Quid pro Quo return for their efforts. The much sort after regular advertising that comes with elections. There was a time long ago when they weren't so one-sided when Gough had their support, and Andrew Bolt was 12.
WYATT PICKS HATE-TWEETER LANGTON TO ADVISE ON 'RECONCILIATION'
Why is he trying to "fix" a non-problem?: "Ken Wyatt has moved to break the impasse with Aboriginal leaders over indigenous recognition by proposing... a 'voice to government'". And why is he picking a hate-screecher to advise him?: "Wyatt, the Indigenous Australians Minister, has enlisted... Marcia Langton." Langton? Has he checked her tweets?
Hate screecher Bolt with the power of Murdoch screeching hate at a woman yelling get your fucking foot off my throat
COLDEST SNAP? THEN IT'S JUST WEATHER, NOT THE CLIMATE CATASTROPHE
If we were talking about hot days instead, it would be big news: "A late-season chill just caused a pair of frosty mornings in parts of southern Australia, with some areas seeing their lowest back-to-back minimums in more than a century this late in the year."
Bolt just keeps banging his head doesn't he trying to disparage events that are part of a worldwide "trend" rather than offered up as proof. They are "news" because they are part of a trend and have been for some time. Whereas the cold snaps Bolt's referring to aren't. There is a difference which he is paid not to see.
Not enough to want to put Welfare recipients on cashless cards, them as some sort of pariah on the state but have the morality police spend more money than they will save to do that. Merely to show how morally responsible they are. Meanwhile, their snotty brats are proudly wafting about on a hard-earned and well-deserved gap year. First drugs then football, cinema's and their fridges will no doubt be raided at the whim of another government moralist.
No such concerns however for the alcohol, cocaine and drug-addled tax payers who pay their accountants to not pay tax ripping the state off for millions. Who do these moralists believe actually have the money to spend on the billions of dollars of illegal drugs consumed. It's not poor on welfare.
Jacqui Lambie might have the right attitude, but she isn't right when saying there are conditions on which she might accept policing of the poor and the trickle-down effect over and above the blind eye given the trickle-up effect. There are more drugs consumed in the ACT on any one night fuelling the cash economy than the cost of monitoring 5000 welfare recipients (ODT)
Controversial plans to trial drug tests for those on Newstart and the Youth Allowance will be revived by the Morrison government when Parliament resumes.
Jacqui Lambie says she will support drug testing the unemployed if government MPs subject themselves to the same test.
Taxpayers expect the government to ensure their money is being spent responsibly and that welfare recipients are using it to put food on the table, send the kids to schools and pay the bills rather than on drugs."
VIRGIN MARY WITH A PENIS? THE COWARDICE OF OUR ARTISTS
Bulls..t bravery: "A ... painting depicting the Virgin Mary cradling a giant penis on public display at a Queensland university has sparked outrage... Griffith University Art Museum director Angela Goddard defended the work... 'The role of art is to challenge and push boundaries.'" Then push this boundary: paint Mohammad instead, o brave one.
Andrew Bolt gets paid for revealing just how stupid he is? In this his attempt to stir up a Culture war about the Papist Virgin. A virgin, even many Christians don't believe in. The Artist, in this case, isn't a Muslim he's challenging as stupid his own faith. Yet Bolt entirely on the attack challenges Christians to offend Muslims telling them to do the same to Mohommed. That's throwing accelerant on trying to start a Culture War.
Yes, Bolt was once a Christian god botherer but now lets Christians they know he's not really one of them but is a limp dick agnostic. But he then challenges them to do what he wouldn't dare. Yes, he encourages Christians to battle and disrespect Muslims like a crusader with the same conviction as the Barcelona Jihadists did when they killed themselves. Bolt wrote he admired that conviction while calling today's Christians gutless. Well, his clarion call was answered, and it enabled Blair Coteral's right-wing to come out and march openly on our streets and inspire the Christchurch mass shooter.
Back then, when the shit hit the fan, Bolt ducked for cover and as expected pulled his head in claiming all violence was equivalent, and he hated it not admired it. Well, that was the opposite of his ramblings on Barcelona. The fact is, Muslims challenge Muslims every day just as Christians challenge Christians pushing the envelope of their beliefs but the majority of cultures respect each other's beliefs particularly in Australia, Its called freedom of religion in a non-sectarian Democracy and is an Australian principle and value which Andrew Bolt obviously doesn't hold. He calls abuse and disrespect of others his right of free speech yet disrespects others for doing it in return for them it's not free. We saw how he made Yassmin Abdel Magied pay.
Bolt is readily offended by Muslims, particularly if they are coloured, his hate is compounded. He's offended by colour but is silent if they are Christians avoiding the fact of his cultural similarity. Has anyone noticed Bolt never calls African South Sudanese Christians or Indigenous Australians Christians why? Because that might just mean they are more culturally like him and wouldn't then really sound as convincing when yelling "Who let them in" It would shine a light on and amplify his racism just a tad too much and dilute his efforts at accelerating a Culture War.
"To try to remove a work from an exhibition is the tactics of a dictatorship rather than a democracy," Ms Rolfe said.
"Juan Davila is one of Australia's most revered and prominent artists
Davila's artwork has been displayed at New York's Museum of Metropolitan Art, Sydney's Museum of Contemporary Art and the National Gallery of Victoria.
Why is Bolt making it a cause now because the ACL has taken offence? Bolt was never a Papist the Virgin Mary was never central to the Dutch Reform Church and certainly isn't pivotal to current day agnostics who also offend extreme members of the ACL no doubt. This is Bolt merely posturing for a shekel.
More than half of Theresa May’s Cabinet were summarily dismissed to the backbenches as one political commentator said Johnson was 'bringing the Brexit gang back together'.
Boris Johnson has purged Brexit unbelievers from his new government in what shocked observers believe is one of the biggest Cabinet reshuffles in the UK’s political history that didn't follow an election.
1h There's typical Bolt for you, to be voted leader of your Party, not by the country takes "Intelligence and Charm". Well, we've seen Bolt's character judgements in the past and what "Intelligence and Charm" mean to him. Tony Abbott and Donald Trump, the role models. Trump immediately declared it was a win for him because Boris was a clone of himself. The big difference being, however, is Johnson didn't really win. Theresa May lost the confidence of a divided party, and Boris has inherited the poison chalice that not many put their hats in the ring for. All Bolt is doing in this interview is repeating what he's heard from Alex Campbell, and every other commentator has said this past week. Bolt has just joined the conga line but verbally pushing the others aside to make out he's far smarter than them. He shames himself and his profession. There is nothing new to be seen or heard here. In fact, Bolt repeats what his interviewee is saying and tries to make out its original Bolt. He's sooo bad!!
1h If I thought I was wiping out humans and making whole species extinct, I’d quit. So why doesn’t Andrew Mackenzie?Bolt
Bolt is revealing to us who he really is. A person that faced with hard decisions" cuts and runs." I’d be devastated to be part of a business I thought was far deadlier than a cigarette company. I’d quit in shame. So why hasn’t Mackenzie? Bolt
We saw him quit his failed podcast, We saw him cut and run from his stoush with Miranda. We've seen him try to cut and run from his stoush with Adam Goodes. Whenever cornered he's like Trump trying to say he didn't say the things he did. Like "the earth has been cooling" "the seas aren't rising" and that Trump was a klutz. Andrew Bolt is a Boris Johnson of the media class trying to please the people he thinks are the most important, but he's not as funny.
Andrew Mackenzie is a leader of the SS BHP, and he's not about to abandon ship but rather steer it in a corrected direction having a good reason for the science and facts given him. A leader that might inspire others to follow like the many who already are.
This is what Andrew Bolt calls a "massive fail". Is he for real? Mueller has appeared before the Congressional committee denying everything Trump has said about his report. The difference is the noise Trump is making denying what Mueller is testifying to about his own report. Trump is telling Mueller what his conclusions were. If that's not a propaganda bomb, what is. Fox News is leading Trump's panicked defense just look at the flood of tweets being made. The basic truth however is that 52% of Americans still believe Trump is a crook and this appearance by Mueller hasn't changed that 3% are yet to decide.
As for the warning to the Jewish Left the backbone of Judaism in Australia aone can be assured Andrew Bolt has nothing to really offer other than a space filler for his ultra boring show.
Here are the key times when his comments contradicted statements that Trump has made about the report and the topics it addressed: Trump went on a tweetskrieg of 40 tweets today as if he had to make the world's mind up. A world incapable because they might not all watch Fox and discove.
1)The Russia probe wasn’t a “witch hunt.”
2)Russian election interference was not a “hoax.”
3)Russia meddled in the 2016 election and the Trump campaign was happy with it.
4)The Mueller report did not find “no obstruction.”
5)The Mueller report didn’t give Trump “total exoneration.”
6)Trump’s answers to written questions from Mueller’s team were “generally” untruthful.
7)Mueller did not interview with Trump for the FBI director’s post.
8)Trump’s praise of WikiLeaks’ publishing hacked emails was “problematic.”
Trump cited WikiLeaks 160 times in the final month of the 2016 campaign as he attacked Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton – even though he knew that the Clinton campaign emails WikiLeaks was disseminating had been stolen by Russian intelligence.

1h Bolt's calling Pell the "innocent victim" of two lying boys who he is suggesting ought to be arrested. A Cockroach flapped its wings somewhere on the other side of the planet, and according to Bolt, it proves Pell's innocent. The process of Australian justice should be abandoned when it comes to high-status elite persons easily accused targets of the lesser privileged. Bolt never questions the result of the due process of justice if it is handed down, but he certainly doesn't declare it fair or equal when it's pointed at the elite and privileged. There is very much a double standard in Bolt's approach to our legal system. He never really decried the injustice done to Indigenous kids in Don Dale did he? He's rather silent on wage theft, but he indeed spent time telling us John Sekta was guilty before the court delivered its decision. Banks and Insurance companies somehow deserve immunity from punishment that ordinary Australians don't. Basically, for all Bolt's bruh ha he believes George Pell deserved better treatment Because thinks the privileged are more the victims of an unjust system than the reverse. Carl Beech in the UK is selected as his proof. Any wonder he never really debates these issue but rants about them at arm's length.
8m PAYWALL Bolt is ever so predictable and like a dog with a bone. Whacking-a-mole Bolt hides his misogynism behind a News Corp skirt. As for Turnbull, he's still a member of the Liberal Party if not an MP and is entitled to back or backstab anybody he wants. he unlike Tony Abbott resigned his parliamentary role which somehow escapes Andrew Bolt. It does, however, reflect his notion of Democracy it's with a very small d.
The fact is women in the Liberal Party know better than men what bullying is just as Transgender and Indigenous people do. It's not surprising White male Christian heterosexuals to say there is none it shows just how entrenched and deep their connection to white male privilege and colonial history their psyche still runs. The fact that Andrew Bolt proudly told us he had an Aboriginal friend at school and feel he needed to reflect that as did "some of my best friends are Jews". If prejudice didn't exist there'd be no necessity for saying either and Andrew Bolt seems to say it a lot. He's also very much an anti-multiculturalist who dreams of retiring in Holland and most likely holds a dual passport. In his own mind and by his own standards he's a "fake Australian" Julia Banks doesn't need name and shame individual Liberals when speaking of the dominant collective culture of the Party (ODT)
"During that week I wasn't the only woman who spoke out," she said. "We had Linda Reynolds speak in the Senate, that she witnessed and observed behaviour that she didn't recognise, and then she went quiet when she was promoted to being a Minister. "We had Kelly O'Dwyer speaking on 7.30, we had Lucy Gichuhi saying it … we even had the Prime Minister himself talk about bullying in Gilmore."
TURNBULL STEPS UP HIS REVENGE. HITS HUNT, FRYDENBERG
Malcolm Turnbull flies into Melbourne and promptly undermines two Liberal MPs being challenged by Turnbull-linked "independents". He praises Julia Banks, standing against Greg Hunt, as "outstanding". He says the Liberals shouldn't have resisted calling the banking royal commission, just as Treasurer Josh Frydenberg is under pressure to say sorry.
I don't recall anybody calling Cory Bernardi a traitor when he left the Party. Abbott the conservatives praised him and they were still members of parliament and the Liberal Party. I do recall what Tony Abbott instigated being done to Peter Slipper. The Party bullies sent him to hospital. Abbott had all the other members pay back the misappropriation of funds including the $13k he took but not so Slipper's $900.
Turnbull might be a member of the Liberal Party but he's not a Parliamentary member and he's calling a spade a spade when he says the Flinders election will be interesting even Bolt seems to think so. " Turnbull hates Hunt. Banks, his most loyal ally," Bolt For a person who claims he is a role model of manners and cool Bolt seems to be the one screaming hatred, not Turnbull.
Turnbull's son is another kettle of fish and is entitled to be a member of the ALP if he so wishes it's big D Democracy isn't it or as I suspect Bolt is a firm believer in Nepotism.
So Abbott MP is entitled to cross government opinion and spend 2 years backstabbing, so much so, he pained his own constituents that a rush of Independents has arrived to challenge him. Turnbull Australian citizen needs to be shut down how does that work Andrew Bolt?
2m Typical of Bolt the cultural imperialist who claims if anyone isn't like him they need to be mocked and ridiculed. He did it to The South Sudanese Beauty Pageant in Melbourne and showed just how ugly and ill-mannered he is. He claims to be the role model of good behaviour. the Australian who actually preferred to be thought of as Dutch for over half his live the fake Aussie that barks at everyone. A Mullah chastised Western women's dress sense and Bolt barked and said Aussie women are free except those in the Bolt house Bolt's rules reign alongside hypocrisy. (ODT )
Are LGBTIs treated differently in an emergency one might ask Cate McGregor that question she has seen what it's like to be on both sides of the fence and experienced the question that Daniel poses do LGBTi s need to think twice in how and what they can do in Australia? Can the drink water at the public well next to Daniel who seems overly disgruntled to be told transgender persons are treated differently and yes their lives are at greater risk than the general population. The very fact that "Bolt says "and you pay their bills" says it all about inclusion and exclusion. How dare the motherfuckers call him out for not being sympathetic. Cate McGregor soon learnt who her friends really were when it came to the Marriage Equality referendum. Bolt didn't just vote but crossed to the other side of the street as the Dutch did when they saw their Jewish neighbour walking towards them. More so they sent 80% of the out of the country into the gas and fire not out of it. The same offended attitude prevails in Bolt and reader Daniel.
"Deadly for serious debate" coming from Andrew Bolt who claims he's more indigenous than the Aborigines that are younger than him. The man who claims Asylum Seekers are "illegals" and gave away the debating for a single podium and all resource format. It's why he 's a failed Uni student and the academic he mocks isn't. The academic welcomes a response Bolt moderates and controls his.
6m Has Andrew Bolt begun to print these comments no! At most some selected ones. But he's right it's odd to find so many people reading it and I'm sure with informed replies. As Bolt has polled so high on so many distrust meters why should this post be any different? As for "instinctively and often without evidence of thought" is merely a smear that proves Bolt is doing exactly what he's criticizing. But Bolt does it on a daily basis. People watch porn it doesn't mean it's good. His obsession with the ABC, Waleed Aly and others is no different he'd have so much less to write he spend so much time checking out those in the hope they might mention him and whenever they do he lets all his readers know.
Specifically, there is a strong and statistically significant association between higher cognitive ability and a greater likelihood to support equal rights between same- and different-sex couples.This may shed some light on why those who stand against equal rights may not be persuaded by evidence-based arguments in the ongoing same-sex marriage debate.
This shouldn't be a surprise throughout history it's been proven and Bolt has always complained about our universities, the ABC, our Art's and sciences being filled with people arguing for equality, social justice, human rights and social policies that progress towards those ideals. It must be reminded that Andrew Bolt failed University and his mate Tony Abbott gained his Rhodes scholarship not on any grounds of economic standards but largely for sport and the aggressive support of the Jesuits of St Ignatius College.
Has anyone noticed that the "No" voters in this debate aren't applying "reason" only emotional arguments trying to scare the bejezuz out of the voting population? Name calling along with confirmation biased evidence is proffered as "reason" where there is none is offered against Marriage Equality, Abbott tells women they are best behind an ironing board that's reason and any argument against that is the unreasoned dissent of 'frightbats' . 97% consensus among global climate science is declared by Bolt to be a religion that's reasoned thinking on the part of Bolt. The cry for 'universal human rights' is unreasoned thinking in comparison to the Nazi chants of white supremacists calling for Jews and Muslims to be rounded up and kicked out of the USA. Bolt supports the rise of the ADF in Germany that wants the monuments to Jews be removed from the country and the wisdom in Mein Kumph be brought back to the education system. Yes Cognitive inability certainly does shape Bolt's thinking
Bolt's Bullies Rage
A young Brisbane woman who was flying rainbow flags outside her house in support of same-sex marriage has had her windows smashed in with rocks in a late-night attack police said may be linked to three other incidents nearby.
I guess the above is just convenient SSM yes voters reporting violence against them. As I said Bolt is all over poor Tony the victim but totally skeptical when yes voters get a media mention. He doesn't mention the reality of Kevin Rudd's Godson.
Wow, 3 people plus Andrew Bolt does that have any impact? It seems not given that the polling 72 to 26% of the vote so far shows a massive rebound in favor of the "yes " vote.
The "me" mentality is staring us in the face with Bolt telling us "we" can't make a difference and therefore "we" aren't part of any global community stuff them. In a crisis, an island as small as Cuba sends doctors, engineers, and teams in their hundred to help nations suffering without a second thought. What do we do sweet FA! How would you like to be Bolt's next door neighbor? Nevertheless, if Cuba sneezes Bolt there telling just how dangerous they are and what global impact they have and it's necessary that we all pull together and maintain the 50 trade embargo on them. He goes apeshit telling us we need to send troops to the Middle East and the Ukraine and show that we are a concerned global player. Suddenly Bolt's "me" becomes a "we. Thinking needs to be contained global pollution doesn't.The man is an intellectual museum piece.
Bolt's fossil fuel heaven has come to a standstill in the face of hurricanes Bolt claims are "normal". Developed states Texas, Florida, and territories like Puerto Rico are facing billions of dollars of costs which makes fossil fuels look extremely expensive power source when you consider they are useless and will take up to six months to power up again. Currently, the only power being generated is via renewables. There is a lesson to be learned here
They say those that can't-do pretend they can teach? How is it McCrann isn't sitting on the board of any Corporate entity and as such why is it Bolt thinks he's the voice of reason over and above CEOs of Corporations like BHP and AGL. BHP hasn't just turned overnight. The supported Gillard's Super Tax and even her Carbon Tax so why print this BS when this support dates back as far as pre-2013. The only people here that are ignorant is McCrann and Bolt or is it they are conveniently ignoring the fact that this was in step with Labor policies."BHP seemingly believes that if it joins the Global Warming campaign against energy sanity at home, it will be left free to keep pumping more and more iron ore and coking coal and oil and gas — and so hundreds of millions of tonnes of explicit and implicit CO2 emissions — into the northern hemisphere..."McCrann There is nothing secret about BHP's support of an ETS what's secret is BOLT and McCrann can't accept the rational economic thinking of the Big Australian. Going back to 2010
"Mr. Kloppers's call for a carbon tax undermines the passionate objections of Tony Abbott to setting a price on carbon before there is a global consensus.
"We do believe that such a global initiative will eventually come and, when it does, Australia will need to have acted ahead of it to maintain its competitiveness," Mr. Kloppers told a packed Australian British Chamber of Commerce lunch in Sydney." 2010
Bolt and McCrann were trying to make out it was incompetent CEO's AGL BHP in some sort of tryst with politicians. just about everybody on the block is to blame. Abbott was the one to refuse any partisan deal on energy as far back as the Gillard government when even the heads of the biggest mining companies were calling for a carbon tax. They knew was little more than a "gutless" politician serving his own interests without any focus on the country and its place in a commercial world. Abbott favored uncertainty why because uncertainty is a political tool. He got his leadership position because of the ETS and he hopes to do the same now. Truth be known he's happy to see Australia languish.
26 McCrann and Bolt are lying to the public BHP haven't caved into the Greens at all as far back as Gillard BHP have been arguing for a Carbon Tax as far back as 2010 they have been pro Gillard policy of either an ETS or Carbon Tax. as far back as then, they thought Abbott to be an opportunistic wanker nothing more. They wanted what AGL wants now a tax on coal.
"Mr Kloppers's call for a carbon tax undermines the passionate objections of Tony Abbott to setting a price on carbon before there is a global consensus.
"We do believe that such a global initiative will eventually come and, when it does, Australia will need to have acted ahead of it to maintain its competitiveness," Mr. Kloppers told a packed Australian British Chamber of Commerce lunch in Sydney." 2010
I would definitely go for aged garlic cures and Wilkinson advertising them instead of Andrew Bolt's ads for The Spectator and other extreme Right-wing Pulp Fiction that has absolutely no health benefits whatsoever to offer. Is this all Bolt has to whinge about the wife of Peter Fitzsimons? What a small-minded weed is Andrew Bolt just how was he raised and by who. As the saying goes someone created this ugly man this Dorian Grey in the first seven years of his life and left him little hope.
Division is Bolt's game but not in the case of Marriage Equality but not this time the 'yes' vote won't be turned into an Islamophobic battle. They accept the freedom of religious belief. They also accept the freedom of Christian beliefs but not when it's been politicized as it has by the ACL, the Churches. This isn't a fundamentalist religious battle at all this is a battle to change the secular and legal definition of marriage and that's not the argument Bolt wants he wants it to be a religious one. Don't for one moment believe that Bolt is supporting Muslims and their freedom of religion he's not he's simply trying to deflect it away from the very losing battle that Catholics are facing they are divided just as much because of what their leaders advocate and what Abbott and Kevin Andrews advocate but their gobsmacked by the fact Francis Abbott has headbutted her father and the Catholic church. Why doesn't Bolt have a go at Ms, Abbott? Is he going to tell us just how misguided she is for supporting Aunty Christine who Bolt has had a go at trying to convince us that she has made a victim of poor lying Tony?
