ARE WE OK WITH LOSING FAIR, RATHER THAN WINNING DIRTY?
Australians are about to be tested after the release of two reports today into the cricket cheating scandal. Our test is this: do we really want our cricketers to play fairly if they don't actually win? My editorial from The Bolt Report.
One might ask,
" what's new that Bolt has to offer Australia about the reports released on cricket that so many others like the ABC and elsewhere have offered? " Others that actually know something about the game and are consequently coherent. Did Bolt actually get his ideas off Mr Magoo? He's certainly not original and nor does he address the specific changes of the game itself within any historical context. His conclusion even appears to be so truncated that the end was left on the editing floor because it makes it made little or no sense to the editor. But then when has Bolt ever needed to make sense in his editorials?
There's no mention of cricket's increasing commodification driven by money and boards chasing it above all else. Money has changed the nature of the game to fit the demands of a TV spectacle to attract its advertisers. None of this commodification of the game is mentioned by Bolt. How a team game has been reduced to a gladiator sport to win at all costs it's essence. That cricket is no longer recognizable to what it historically was. That has escaped Bolt but then did he ever play the game? He even said he hasn't supported it for years which is clear as his editorial isn't
Fairy Floss and mumble mumble and a mysterious connection missed. I suggest people turn on to the ABC's Iview and The Drum and listen to an expert like Cate McGregor for a real professional opinion about these two reports and their relevance to cricket because you will never get any sense out of Bolt. Listen to McGregor and then go back to Andrew Bolt and you will see and hear what a real opinion on the topic of cricket is and what a waste of time watching Andrew Bolt waffle and Bolt Report is. Here is the link educate yourselves.

"Turnbull isn't representing Australia's prime minister to Indonesia. He is representing Indonesia to Australia's prime minister.
And yet again he's undermining the Liberals. It is beyond time for Morrison to draw a line between him and this wrecker."
Bolt is calling Turnbull a"wrecker" and exclusive term given, by just about everyone in Australia, to Tony Abbott. Why would Andrew Bolt swim against the tide, not of opinion but recognized reality? It's quite simple really it's to distract from the stupidity of Abbott that lumbers along to keep everybody dumbfounded. Having wrecked the Liberal Party in Australia he's turned to doing the same with Theresa May's Tories holding secret meetings with Boris Johnson and then acting on his behalf in The Spectator. Spouting Boris's opinions as his own on Brexit.
He's gone on to describe Nauru as a holiday resort stealing Chris Kenny's line from some 2 years ago. He claims the hospital facilities are better in Nauru than "some" country towns. However, when things get complicated in country towns patients are moved in Nauru the doctors are removed.
Yes, Bolt will continue to smear Turnbull in order to hide Abbott's fake opinions and present Turnbull as a traitor for reporting the truth.

Bolt is intent on incrementally improving Australian Institutions he acts unlike any conservative but rather as a Reactionary wanting to blow up all Australian Institutions as we know them. He more than anyone seriously wants out Institutions dismantled and changed into something unrecognized in this country. Universities, Separation of Powers, The ABC, The Arts Welfare Immigration etc are all targets for mass destruction turned on their heads privatised and reinstalled and turned into ASIO administered bodies.
It's more than a return to the 50s when reds were under everyone's beds and ASIO played a McCarthyist role spying on and ensuring anybody considered left wing an OMG Commie pink were neutralised of any opportunities the country had to offer the right wing righteous. Bolt wants ASIOs best or those ticked to be given the keys to all our Institutions if not ASIO vetted by them but nominated by the IPA even before being allowed to run for election. The complaints Bolt has about this country were once kept close to one's chest but today politics of the Monkey Pod Room has made Racism, Misogyny, and all Fascist values respectable again and loud.
Bolt sees the opportunity to be anti- Liberal and ant- Labour because the Liberals can't win the next election. However, after May we will see the return to boost the ultra conservatives in order to lead the opposition and continue their effort to take over the Liberal Party. There is no shame

Bolt knows he can't be consistent when it comes to Climate Change because he'd be too easily caught out so for a while its straight out abuse Climate Science isn't science at all it's a religion a cult there is absolutely nothing to it. Then there's silence for an amount of time to let things settle and arguments fade.
Then it's a list of various facts saying science is not exact therefore wrong as if that's a reason for not attending your doctor not spending money on public health because it's largely uncertain and then costs but he really can't run that line with too much conviction. So he's talked up clean coal power instead of renewables overlooking the fact that clean coal is only 4% leaner than dirty coal. Then again silence
Today after a rest he's back agreeing the planet is warming but the man-made contribution is unknown and far from exact so much so he's found a scientist wiser than the 97% and those brighter than those who contributed to the 6000 peer-reviewed research publications looked at by the IPCC. Asten talks about the unappreciated scientists he doesn't provide numbers or even mention whether they are climate specialists. Asten himself isn't he's a part-time researcher in "mineral exploration" sounds a lot like Mining to anyone else and yes I'm sure there are scientists working for coal companies that would agree with him just as there are scientists in the tobacco industry that deny smoking causes cancer.
Bolt's use of the non-specific terms Scientist, hyping the level of doubt come up with yes the old cherry an unnamed number of scientists doubt global warming. Well, that old cherry was put to bed years ago when the number was specified as 3% of the specialists in the field. Bolt's use of data needs to be amplified it really does as he spent some 20 years telling us the planet was cooling that is if you take as your starting point the exceptional year of 1998. Today that's been now turned to pausing despite the fact that we have witnessed records being broken year in and year out since the turn of the century. It's strange isn't it 97% of specialists 190 plus nations, business finance and technology sectors throughout the world agree on man-made global warming and Bolt the swinger looks for people who generally are yesterday's men to put out a paid message that the world is wrong and we don't need to spend money on a planet that looks after itself. I wonder how long Bolt will be silent for again?

Nearly all publishing climate scientists (97–98%
[1]) are convinced by the evidence that humans are significantly contributing to global warming.

The ABC reports not on "it's dogma" but on science, the politics of science, and in what Bolt calls soft reporting it even gives his minority world of deniers a far greater amount of time their 3% deserve. than what Andrew Bolt gives the 97% of scientists that agree. Here he is again even denying what Michael Asten said in the post above that all scientist agree the planet is warming.
Anyway, actions speak louder than words and the worlds of investment, public health, and improved technology all disagree with Bolt's ignorant efforts to throw fuel on doubt where there really is none particularly when he contradicts his own messages.
If there is proof in the pudding Bolt has never declared just how much he's personally invested in fossil fuel energies and their associated industries for his and his children's futures. It seems Bolt is simply a warning system not about data or evidence but against any media of influence addressing the matter. In this case, the ABC He, on the other hand, is left promoting the obscure, unqualified not sceptics but simply deniers. Phelps goes on the ABC because she knows she has an audience there that represents all political views but agrees on the climate change. Bolt can't say that. Phelps can greet and meet the public anywhere, Bolt can't and won't do that.

Lying media then even Fox News are liars because they along with Trump pushed the anti-Semitic argument that Soros a Jew was sponsoring Jewish organizations to help and protect the scum from shithole countries to invade America. HAIS being exactly one such organization Bolt and Fox hinted at being a zionist conspiracy. Trump at his rallies has appealed to Nationalists that Bolt has called Australian Patriots like Reclaim Australia, the UPF and the newly formed Lads who only yesterday he called neo-Nazis. They like Bolt are Trump supporters and anti-Semites. The only lying media is the likes of Bolt's organization.
