Foxtel pay-TV faces slow death

The banks are also abandoning the company — unwilling to refinance its $1.5 billion debt. Foxtel has since received some reprieve in the form of a $200 million loan from South Korea’s Hana Financial Investment Co Ltd. For the rest, News Corp will have to cover the difference.


Foxtel is reaching a threshold where it will have to decide if it wants to continue its proprietary pay-TV service. With declining revenues and fewer sports services, it will be interesting to see when News Corp will finally pull the plug.

VOTE LABOR OR DIE?: WHAT SCIENCE REALLY SAYS ABOUT LABOR'S CLIMATE PLAN

Labor promises a huge new global warming plan without telling you the cost or what it will do. Climate hysteric Malcolm Turnbull backs it, claiming we'll otherwise have an "uninhabitable" planet. Vote Labor or die? In fact, this is a fraudulent scheme built on some fraudulent scares. I show the science on The Bolt Report. Watch.

30m ago 

Ford motor company with government assistance have reported a change in national and global transport systems is underway the costs yet unknown but will affect the current state of transport worldwide. 

Australia has reported today that a global pandemic is underway the costs unknown. However, plans are underway to fight it because to do nothing is unthinkable. 

 News Corp writer Andrew Bolt reports these are all fraudulent schemes built on fraudulent claims and he intends to show why doing nothing is the best option. Bolt claims he has science economics and technology on his side and he's ready to build his house in those areas most affected by Climate Change and holiday in those areas where the current pandemic is most virulent. To show the validity of his beliefs, he intends to invest in horse and buggies and send his children to those areas where the coronavirus is currently most active. 

What do experts really say to idiots like Andrew Bolt who no doubt also predicts the world is flat. Idiots, who make a living broadcasting individual opinion as news for sale?  
 

ASIO BREAKS UP SPY RING

China is the prime suspect: "ASIO has revealed it uncovered a 'sleeper' agent running a major spy ring and providing logistical and financial support for ­foreign agents... The agent started feeding his spymasters information... which... led to harassment of the dissidents in Australia and their relatives overseas." Terrorism threats have doubled.

10m ago 

There is "a suspect" and a spy ring allegedly whose nationality it would appear to be unknown, but Andrew Bolt breaks as Chinese. Currently the biggest known suspected and alleged spy on the planet is Julian Assange, and he's Australian, and the CIA have created their own proof of that. 

We have known that the Americans and  Israeli's have been spying on Australia for decades, and have not been sharing their secrets under the 5 eyes plan as agreed. We happily smiled when these activities were made public. 

We are spies ourselves and run secret trials to harass and intimidate anyone who dares reveal what it is we are up to. Timor Leste just one example. Reporters are raided intimidated and threatened with imprisonment and Bolt breaks the above banner as News when in fact it's a distraction. In a world where information is for sale on a global scale, why is Andrew Bolt sensationalising this? Simply because true or not, it will sell newspapers and distract from our government's secret activities. Peter Dutton has looked highly incompetent recently and needs some polish.

 Harassment of dissidents in Australia isn't new Israel's Mossad has been known to kidnap people from this country, and we shrugged. They have imprisoned and watched Australians die in their highest security prisons. Mossad recruited Australians as agents and then falsely involved them in assassinations in other sovereign territories. At the same time, we have done nothing and Andrew Bolt with his finger on the pulse in the box seat says he's a media man of merit but who has said nothing.

What he has and is doing is being a paperboy standing on the street corner sensationalising and selling News Corpse trash. 

Maybe he should start with Australia's spying activities first and show this government is running trials in secret against its own citizens first instead of looking the other way and yelling China. Spying comes in various shades and levels of seriousness as does misinformation. Something Andrew Bolt is highly practised at. ASIO could start gathering information about Bolt's activities when he bragged he was part of the inner circle of the Abbott governments secrets which were often leaked.  
 

ON TONIGHT: GRETA THUNBERG'S MOTHER REVEALS TOO MUCH; HOLLYWOOD'S CASTING COUCH JUST GOT JUNKED

A shocking report reveals just how many war crimes our Special Forces soldiers are accused of. And Gerard Henderson on why he's leaving the ABC.

MEDIA WATCH how good is the ABC and accurate Q&A had 800,000 viewers last night lets hope Media Watch had the same. They showed just how shamed Bolt was by right and left-wing media alike. Bolt if lucky has 250k viewers in a week the night of his apology reached at most 50k. Thank god for the ABC reporting on the disgusting reality of what occurred and let's hope Gerrard Henderson was asked to leave the Insiders because of it. We can expect to see him on The Bolt Report more frequently no doubt.

  Peter Ridd's sacking pushes the limit of academic freedom | Gay Alcorn | Opinion | The Guardian

 

I hate to say it because we know what this is really about. The cause of Ridd has been championed by those parts of the media and certain institutes – well, the Institute of Public Affairs – that have done all they humanly can to stop serious action in this country against climate change.
They have no interest in fair-minded coverage of the weight of scientific evidence, now overwhelming, that human action is causing global warming, and that urgent action is required globally to limit its dangerous impacts. Their interest is ideological, with an endearing lack of self-awareness in their charge that the “warmists” are the ideologues. They leap on the 3% or so of scientists who argue their colleagues have got it all wrong and would risk everything on those odds.
So, it is not that these Ridd champions – Andrew Bolt, Terry McCrann, the Australian, which now reports as fact that Ridd is a “marine science whistleblower”– have any inherent concern about academic freedom.

James Cook's actions are premised on the belief that the University is greater than just the individuals within it and unlike Thatcherites Society or the University does exist and it's patterns of behaviour are there to deliver outcomes beneficial to everyone in the excercise and methodology of in this case Marine Science. Science and it's methods of scepticism being the essence.

Ridd however demands a bigger space and the breakdown of the rules of discourse declaring the university as meaningless. As did Thatcher when she said there is no such thing as Society only individuals and the power they and their interest groups can enforce. Ridd refuses to see James Cook as a Collective wants to bring down it's structure and tradition like a house of cards. What's odd is here we have a conservative fighting for academic anarchy and being supported by the right wing traditionalists of the Murdochians media. However James Cook isn't simply soapbox corner nor does it feel the need to be reduced itself or it's reputation to one. So they are assisting Ridd in his right to remove himself and to find a soapbox from which to continue his opinions and be heard. In other words they are did him a favour by sacking him. He has found the forum  or ear of public opinion but that's all (ODT)

 Tipping point': Unilever to run Australian plants on 100% green power

 

 Consumer goods giant Unilever says it will run its Australian manufacturing plants entirely on clean energy within two years, with the country having passed a "tipping point" where going green is no longer a financial disadvantage

It won't be long before NewsCorp stands a lone voice on fossil fuels and even Andrew Bolt will fall over the tipping edge

WHY SBS?

Why do we need SBS, I asked Zed Seselja, assistant minister for multicultural affairs.  We taxpayers spend $185 million a year on it to - ostensibly - give migrants television and radio services in foreign languages. But we  for the same money in just one year we could instead hand out 460,000 free satellite dishes for foreign broadcasts. 

 Simply put Australia's history is one of the most successful immigrant nations in the world. We are very much a successful and unique multicultural nation in which today 50% of us have first or second generation migrant connections. 85% of us in the main are proud of that success of our Australian melting pot.

 Only a minimum  strongly disagree with that proud history and are trying to talk us around it Bolt is certainly one. SBS is a multicultural service that reflects that diversity and unity. It  is a role model and reflection of our integration and regognition of who we are. Unlike the satellites Bolt proposes which have no integrating benefits at all other than telling people symbolically they can go back home if they want. There is no bridge they reinforce the opposite separation and isolation  rather than unity. In fact Bolt welcomes that and  is suggesting a cultural fence be built   around each home via satellite that simply says ' unlike other Australians you are different and we really aren't interested in you'.

It's typical of Bolt  because he does just that. How easily detached he can becomes. He did it to his sister a Lesbian , who he never mentions, by moderating any response she wanted to make on his blog. He denied her the  freedom and refused to publish her opinions in response to his stand against marriage equality. He did it to Dylan Voller visciously discrediting him making out his guards  were the real victims but he remained silent when the story of the  delinquent  guard at Dondale surfaced today. What we are witnessing is an extremely minority voice of a ultra bigoted and UN-Australain isolated and radicalized blinkered person. The voice  of one man with access to spread hate fear division and only a negative vision of who we are. A migrant son  who doesn't accept our diversity, our laws, our multiculturalism, our geography or any other significant characteristics that define us as Australians.  SBS does.

ABC HATES TRUMP. LOSES MIND

The ABC's Radio National Breakfast and Jon Faine show this morning aired more of the near-daily rants against Donald Trump. Senator David Leyonhjelm is right: "The media’s unwavering criticism of President Trump not only erodes their credibility, it becomes increasingly difficult to distinguish his genuine missteps from their manufactured outrage." 

Is it anti- Trump to point out that he gets his intelligence from Fox News and Breitbart who have destroyed the very nature of journalism and it's professional principles. Is it anti- Trump to point out just how many times his have had to back peddle and apologize what he has said by trying to re-interpret what it was he was really saying.  Trump is getting all the attention a publicity hound wants and it's all largely for domestic political reasons. The defense of Trump by Bolt Thomas and Leyonhjelm must gall because none of them were defending him before his election. They too called him unfit and it seems they admire his history  now. How he treated and talked about women. How he sent his subcontractors and workers broke by declaring his companies bankrupt on 3 occassions leaving the bodies and carnage behind but taking a Billion dollar tax deduction for himself. How he did use his Charity to fund personal purchases and all the rest of it. Apparently these are things that are meant to be forgiven an not talked about.

Thomas from Quadrant even shows his ignorance in talking about things he knows nothing of or he's ready to lie to make points when he says "for example, his daughter, Ivanka, converted to Orthodox Judaism on marrying Jared Kushner, currently a key Trump adviser." Thomas. Is Ivanka 'orthodox' would Thomas even know what that means?
"Orthodox Judaism emphasizes practicing rules of Kashrut, Shabbat, Family Purity, and Tefilah (Prayer). Many Orthodox Jews can be identified by their manner of dress and family lifestyle. Orthodox men and women dress modestly by keeping most of their skin covered. Married women cover their hair, most commonly in the form of a scarf, also in the form of hats, snoods, berets, or, sometimes, wigs. Orthodox men wear a skullcap known as a kipa, and often fringes called tzitzit. Many men grow beards, and Haredi men usually wear black hats and suits." 

I ask again is Ivanka Trump and "orthodox" Jewish woman? What bullshit is Thomas spinning? The Fox News kind obviously that provides Trump with his intelligence. The problem for Thomas and Bolt is that it's not just the left that's critical of Trump in the US everybody is and is fast becoming so even the Republicans. It only appears everybody is critical of Trump in Australia not because of the ABC but because he has only one supporter in MSM whose bigger which is of course Murdoch's News Corp  whose visibility is soley dependant on the fact of his private monopoly here. 67% print and Foxtel. Bolt uses The Spectator, Quadrant Catallaxy files and 2 GB to appear to be  models of Australian thought. While a minority but a very dangerous but isolated one.

GLOBAL WARMING IN HER NAPPIES

We're told to trust climate scientists. But then comes the ANU's Sophie Lewis: "Should we have children?... Can I reconcile my care and concern for the future with such an active and deliberate pursuit of a child? Put simply, I can't. Nowadays, the pitter-patter of tiny feet is inevitably the pitter-patter of giant carbon footprints."

Bolt shows his genius and that he has a laser like mind that can cut through the difference between science and personal doubts and thoughts of an individual. For him to be a scientist and god botherer is an impossibility

Is that why he's on the fence a religious agnostic and an anti-scientist? He's  already  called science  just another religion in order to reduce it to just another bearer of fake news just as Trump has done. However unlike Trump who turns to Fox and Brietbart for his intelligence information. Bolt turns to a mixture of failed predictions by non scientists for his evidence. When 97% of working scientists in the field of global science are in agreement and I don't mean some local weather reporters. This tack by Bolt doesn't deny the veracity of the science. In fact Bolt behaves like a flat earther demanding we must turn back the clock and prove to the world that it isn't flat once again. Global science has been recording the earth's warming for well over 75 years and improved technology has proved time and time again the recorded data to be true and not disproved it. It has shown warming to be a consequence of mans activities and in particular the release of CO2 at an accelerating rate.

 These aren't predictions but facts. History has shown science as a progressive activity yet Andrew Bolt declares it to be the opposite regressive and in a way is ready to give up all science because it's haven for alarmists. 

The man who denys all systems clings to one the system of  free market of interests, individualism and small government also seems to believe in Nationalism one system of ideas Defense and national security to protect those ideals against democracy the very diversity he claims to uphold. He is against those that don't hold those beliefs, those who see the need for change. There is an element of 'we' that Bolt adheres to not just the 'me'  but  it doesn't apply to all of 'us' which is the door to justifying totalitarian rule. Science on the other hand in the main is the opposite and has always been  progressive and even critical of itself  which Bolt is not. It has lead to unbelievable and progressive changes for the better in a short period of time which Bolt wants to deny unless it's controlled by his interest group. 

Nappies well pull Bolt's pants down or just listen to his childish mockery his thoughts when it comes to science. 

 

TRUDEAU ASKED, SO NOW U.S. REFUGEES COME

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said he'd welcome refugees turned away by Donald Trump. Small problem: 2000 people so far have believed him enough to crash Canada's border after leaving the US. Still, isn't this just what Trudeau wanted?  

 Fear monger of course he is check out the photos even Bolt chooses to show of his "Invasion of Canada" The photos indicate it the dangerous invasion of women and children about to obviously fill this new land of welfare.  What evidence does Bolt provide of the sudden "uneasyness" Canadians are now feeling none. In traditional news terms it's called a beat up. Or the least likely report ever to get an award by an amateur journalist or commentator

TURNBULL RECOVERS - TO JUST BIG LOSS

Good news for Malcolm Turnbull in today's Newspoll: there's a lift in his vote. Bad news for Turnbull: he's still way behind, 48 per cent to Labor's 52.

 "That she'd slumped to "4.7 per cent" there, when in fact she'd got 8.15 per cent in a state where she'd never been that strong?" Bolt

Bolt is such a stats whizz  it what he learnt at Adelaide University hwere he didn't fail stats. Do you realize that Pauline Hanson has 100% or at least 90% support among those that voted for her and polls show she has lost few supporters among those that will continue to vote for her. Do you realize why Bolt didn't fail stats at Adlaide Uni where he insists he was educated. 1) he didn't do stats. 2) He didn't get educated at Adelaide University.

 Pity there isn't a Section on CV fraud which Andrew Bolt freely practices.  

 

 

 

 

MARK DREYFUS SOUNDS LIKE FOOL OR KNAVE

Peter Dutton told business leaders campaigning for gay marriage to stick to their business. Shadow attorney-general Mark Dreyfus is either a blithering idiot or shockingly dishonest in reducing the argument to this: "We've got a Liberal Party that wants to give free speech for racists but not free speech for CEOs."

 Obviously Andrew Bolt is exercising his right to free speech for whom when it comes to standards wants all government restrictions dropped in favor of social ones. There has been no model on which Bolt basis his argument yet he presents the notion of  the current practice as being abnormal. On what does he base his argument ? History teaches us quite the opposite that any form of racial incitement certainly hasn't been contained when rules have been stripped away. Andrew Bolt has never raised the example of when and where his civilized nation ever existed. He argues for an abstract reality in which he has blind faith one without a history and structure in place that alone has him wanting to retain what exists and complain about what doesn't as if it does and that's "reverse racism". Reverse Racism reduces Bolt to the bully that flips he's the bully who immediately complains of being bullied the moment when his victims who have been long time sufferers complain. When the blacks on the slave plantation in Uncle Tom's Cabin stood up to Simon Lagree they were according to Bolt being 'racist' " reforming the Racial Discrimination Act is more about giving free speech to those opposing racism and has this law used against them. Bill Leak was not a racist and used his cartoon to plead for abused Aboriginal children. My banned articles argued against division by race. The Queensland University of Technology students had complained against racial discrimination." Bolt. Bolt is trying to argue that to fight the historic system of slavery with it's accepted behaviors  is racist when he says the above. That Simon Lagree was the victim because deep down Leak Bolt and the students at QUT had simply and implicitly been misunderstood their barbs were really intended to liberate indigenous Australians who were simply blind to their generosity. Is he for real? Reverse racism is the the practice of affirmative action to change a history of patterns of behavior that have been reinforced and psychologically internalized for 200 years or longer?

 

FAKE FIXES TO POWER CRISIS CAUSED BY FAKE SCARE

We've been betrayed. Next week the giant Hazelwood coal-fired power station will be shut by our politicians’ global-warming policies.  But consider: Hazelwood has been generating more electricity than all Australia’s wind farms combined. And now comes Malcolm Turnbull's fix - that actually costs more electricity than it creates.

 Bolt also approves of the diet in Fat Culture because fat creating fast foods are so much more economical. He spent feeding his kids the McDonalds and Kentucky Fried diet all their fomative years because it was so much more affordable than healthy alternatives. How is it that Australia's biggest power producers want a price on Carbon. How is it they see that transitioning to renewable power is the future. How is it that the current economic and the most powerful behemoths in the industry are calling for the opposite of Andrew Bolt and the conservatives when it comes to domestic power. How is it Bolt never talks about that attitude? If that's fact and that consensus exists we have a stand out fake commentator.How the free market failed Australia and priced us out of our own gas supply – ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

 

MAY BE TIME CONSERVATIVES BACKED TURNBULL

Is it soon time for conservatives like me to give Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull a break? True, his managerial and political skills are hopeless. Yet he’s slowly working up a list of reasons we should soon consider backing him. I believe Turnbull will this week suggest reforms to the Racial Discrimination Act. If so, another tick.

"It is crucial for conservatives that his mooted reforms are real, even though big changes will almost certainly be blocked in the Senate." Bolt

Bolt talks of the danger of mooted reforms. In the same breathe he arguments for ridding us of Sections 18C & D are all for the dream of a mooted world that has never existed. Bolt has never shown a single example of a a world where his notion of free speech policed only socially ever existed. The fact is we live in a real world a world that needs racial bigotry and lies to be policed. 

 

LIBERALS DARE NOW SPEAK ABOUT FREE SPEECH

Do Liberals believe in free speech?: "Advocates for change to ... the Racial Discrimin­ation Act believe they have the numbers to sway the meeting of cabinet and junior ministers this afternoon in favour of a new law making it an offence to “harass” someone because of their race." That would replace the current “insult” or “offend” or “humiliate".

  Bolt always places himself in the place of a jihadist a martyr  for the cause of 'free speech' . However that's the lie he was convicted of racial vilification for lying poor journalism and tone of pitch which put him outside any argument of 'free speech'.  If it walks like a racist, lies like a racist and has the motives of a racist it's not a martyr  but a racist.

Panahi vs ABC apologist for a sharia advocate

Rita Panahi vs ABC host Rafael Epstein would always be a mismatch. But it's a walkover when Epstein, Jewish, has the hide to admonish, Panahi, of Iranian background, for not supporting a sharia-preaching ABC colleague. Smack!

Yes it's Bevis and Butthead Blair an Bolt back together again to try and work out who is infact the dumbest. let's start with the one who believes the mirror on the wall is telling him he's the smartest. Andrew Butthead Bolt.  Push his link and No 1 source  it goes back to Bolt's dumb post of yesterday. The 2 posts in fact the first admonishing the kooks and loons for name calling which then lead to his verbal vomit ona a young lady much brighter than him Yassmin Abdel- Magied. The only difference between Bolt and the leaders of One Nation was that his dump was larger.

Bolt's second source acknowledges Bevis Blair  however when you open it it in fact has nothing to do with the topic of the day so as far as dumb Cs are concerned Bolt is leading.

Now let's broach the issue and topic of Sharia Law and let's compare it with Christianity's biggest and best the Catholic Church and Cannon Law. Sharia Law accepts the law of the land Cannon law doesn't it over rides it. The confessional protects child molesters, murderers and thieves simply by the fact that the confessor is bound by by silence to forgive the sinner of all transgressions and not tell anyone what it is he's heard or been told at any time even if it proves him guilty. Basically it's protected priests, brothers and church members from the worst possible sins on their list and even the states. Sharia law demands that the laws of the land be respected and given that Islam can be found in 50 countries that are majority Muslim with differing languages and cultures that's a lot of varying cultures and  a lot of different demands to be respected above and beyond Sharia. Because some Muslims don't put or want to put Sharia second to the law of the land does not make Sharia's requirement of  respect less. That put's Bolt exceptionally further ahead in the dumb stakes along with Blair and Panahi

There was a time in the history of this country and not so long ago that Catholics weren't trusted int the politics of this nation in fact everyone was so surprised that 9 made up Abbott's cabinet. Simply put they weren't to be trusted because to be Catholic was to put ones allegiance to the Vatican ahead of the nation. "The Australian Constitution of 1901 guaranteed Freedom of Religion and the separation of church and state throughout Australia. Australia's first Catholic cardinal, Patrick Francis Moran (1830–1911), had been a proponent of Australian Federation but in 1901 he refused to attend the inauguration ceremony of the Commonwealth of Australia because precedence was given to the Church of England. He was criticised in The Bulletin for speaking against racist immigration laws and he alarmed Catholic conservatives by supporting Trade Unionism and the newly formed Australian Labor Party.^[34]

    What place for the Catholic Church in 21st century Australia?

 It wouldn't be far fetched to say that the Protestant and Catholic divide was greater then than any other religious one. Basically when it comes to ignorance and dumbness Bolt is the Balck Caviar of the pack. 

 

 

Labor panics over its 50% renewables promise

Labor suddenly realises its promise of 50 per cent renewable energy - mostly unreliable wind - is disastrously unrealistic. It would cost $48 billion and give us massively expensive electricity no one could trust to stay on. That's why Bill Shorten, Mark Butler and Chris Bowen suddenly couldn't speak straight.

There is never any regard given to the fact that that the nations of the world are so far in advance of us when it comes to Renewable energy. That Australia is so far behind and more expensive than they are. China leads the world in wind. Morocco is about to open the largest Solar plant on the planet and Andrew Bolt might as well be talking about his naval as far as hi interest in the world goes. Sweeden is about to make it illegal to burn fossil fuels of any kind and the lights haven't gone out and factories haven't shut their doors. Education is free as is health and homelessness is non existent. How is that Andrew Bolt? Is it because they put 'we' before 'me' unlike you? Bolt surely is Media's Mr ignorant.

 

 

 

Flannery washed out in Perth

Professional alarmist Tim Flannery warned in 2004 that global warming would turn Perth into a "ghost metropolis" and shrivel its farms. Colleague Will Steffen in 2015 forecast 80 years of drought there. But then came the floods and the record crops. UPDATE: warmists washed out in California, too.

Here they are Bevis and Butthead sniggering away laughing at Flannery and ignoring the fact that the planet is bigger than their backyard. That the hottest years on record have been this Century and the pattern hasn't changed. Who would they be kicking if there weren't a Tim Flannery whose singing "fools to the left of me Jokers to the right and here I'am stuck in the middle with you"

 

Liberals blunder. Give pass to One Nation

Kyle Benton, in the latest fine edition of Spectator Australia, says the Liberals have made a huge mistake by legitimising One Nation. They've opened the door to madness - and all because they've lost touch themselves with the public.

Who was applauding One Nation after the last election Andrew Bolt. Who said she wasn't the Pauline Hanson of old and wasn't Abbott a knight for their  kiss and make Andrew Bolt. Who has swung 180 degrees because Abbott has said the Liberal Party was the true conservative party and those outside it are drongos Andrew Bolt. Who is outside the Party Andrew Bolt. Tony Abbott is publishing the book he never wrote but has his name on it next week. Guess what the coaching gist of it will be and guess who undeniably say it's great  Andrew Bolt. The fact is Andrew Bolt and Tony Abbott were legitimizing One Nation from the get go and now they are acting as if One Nation are just ferals you won't hear that from Andrew Bolt the man who says "trust me when I say"

 

 

 

How many dud schemes can government think of?

The renewable target is yet another failed government scheme - and one backed by both Labor and the me-too Liberals. It has just given us more expensive and less reliable electricity, without doing a thing to stop global warming. Surprised it went splat? Then consider the appalling list of failed government schemes over the past decade:

 "But the point is: the chances of government failure in picking business winners is actually very high because the decision-making is corrupted by politicians wanting to please voters, buy off activists and woo a Left-wing media.
Conclusion: it is safer for government to leave business and technology decisions to the markets. It's own record is so bad that it simply cannot be trusted." Bolt

If this isn't a clarion call for the privatization principle and small government I'll go he. It's Bolt saying Donald Trump can make better business decisions why? Because he's a business man! He is however a very failed one if paid any attention to his history. Peter Foster is a business man as well . Countless governments have privatized government utilities on the promise of efficiency and lower costs none have been delivered. Bolt's list isn't an unbiased list. NBN would be up and running a brand new resource for everyone it's dead duck because of one man and his MXT Tony Abbott he alone fucked it up for nothing more than adversarial politics which demanded him to say "nope". "Less reliable electricity" AEMO the privatized energy organization is the guarantor of less reliable energy if that energy will cost it money or the public. Well let the public pay. Free tertiary education. Sweden , Slovenia , Norway and Finland have it We don't we have enormous  government sponsored debt. Bolt believes if it's cheaper in China we should send our kids there to buy it. The conservatives on any comparative measure are ensuring Australia is plummeting down the world list not just the OECD list. India just sent 106  communication satellites into space for  less cost than a Hollywood movie $73 mill we haven't made one yet maybe the Liberals will ring Branston and see what he's up to. We are chasing the Americans  who gave the job to the Indians 96 of those satellites were theirs. The last one they sent up cost $650 mill. It won't be long Bolt will be suggesting that Indians run the country and it might be that they will given the CEOs of the largest Multinationals are Indian. They are sure as hell smarter more innovative than Andrew Bolt encourages Australians to be. He doesn't see the need for science and math to be more than voluntary in our education programs. I wonder if that's why Bolt is so backward in those areas and becomes a name caller?

 

Cormann to the rescue as Turnbull dithers

It seems clear that Finance Minister Mathias Cormann yesterday helped to force Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull and the Treasurer to give up a plan to cut on negative gearing tax concessions. Cormann was first tougher than both in playing down this tax increase and then on my show finally did what Turnbull still hadn't and ruled it out completely. 

  This has nothing to do with politics it's all to do about Bolt boosting. " "Actually, Cormann in the morning was clearly against the tax rise but had not definitively ruled it out. By evening he had, after having had Turnbull panicked into supporting whatever he'd said."Bolt Bolt has a habit of trying to boost himself because nobody else does. He's tried to rip Steve Price off Miranda Divine, He's denigrated his own colleagues if it helps to inflate himself. That's what this post is about. Corman broke it on my show not anybody elses.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cormann: money stops Libs from telling truth about dud RET

Finance Minister Mathias Cormann, a conservative hardhead, last night explained why the Liberals cannot tell the truth about their own renewable energy target - that it is useless, expensive and must go. The problem: it will cost us billions in penalties to speak out.

 Rather than attempt to fathom Andrew Bolt's Xenophobic score card of disaster not talked about by the Liberals that Bolt has busted. How does Australia compare with the rest of the world. Why are we so uniquely more expensive than other countries as Andrew Bolt makes out. What justifies our exceptionalism given the natural resources we have at hand? Why does Australia rank 110 Why is it we are ranked worse than 3rd world countries. That's the secret the LNP wants to keep.

"A new ranking of global energy and climate policies has placed Australia 110th in the world for development of renewable and low carbon energy sources and efficiency of supply – just after Benin and just before Trinidad and Tobago."

Senate chaos: Xenophon outvoted by own party

The curse of every minor party, including One Nation. The founder finds there are suddenly bandwagon-jumpers thinking they know better: "Xenophon has lost control of his own party, with two of his team refusing to support his decision to reach a compromise on the government’s welfare cuts." Result: an even more dysfunctional Senate.  

  The true reason why Andrew bolt is now declaring the Senate unworkable. Gillard could work it and negotiate the cross bench Abbott couldn't. We saw his time as PM blaming his inabilities to negotiate blamed on the hostile Senate. Tony was simply inadequate and almost set the Australian record for it. So he's going to give it a try because it's his last chance and he can't leave it too late to make his run. However his nemesis is still in place and even easier in some respects. Palmer is gone and Hanson is there along with Bernardi. Nevertheless the Senate brought Abbott undone and so Bolt is turning up the heat to make it sound worse paving the way if you like for another Abbott go ensuring if it fails the blame doesn't rebound back on him. " even more dysfunctional Senate" Bolt bull.
