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.
Australia has maintained one of the toughest border regimes in the
world throughout the pandemic, helping it contain the virus and save
lives. But with strict quotas on entry, flights into Australia are a
privilege reserved only for the rich.
Weighing heavily on Christian
Porter’s mind was probably that the defence filed by the ABC set out a
number of details that his lawyers kept temporarily secret.
At the end of the day, a plaintiff brings a defamation case against a media organisation for compensation, or for an apology, or to get an online article or publication removed – or perhaps all three. But Porter has finished his case with none of these. You be the judge on who “won”.

Misleading
tactics from the NDIS have devastated many Australians. One mother had
always been given advance notice that her son’s plan was being reviewed.
This time, it was only at the end of the phone call to discuss her
son’s support package that she realised the call was in fact the review.
Natasha May reports.
They never apologize it's Murdoch’s directive unless of course they want to take your licence away. Then plead dementia and say it's the worst day of your life. It's the Aussie way Alan Bond and Murdoch have done it. Lachlan well he just loses money.
Over the weekend, two sensational fake stories — a Fox
Business Network segment about President Joe Biden’s supposed plans to
impose strict beef rations on Americans and a New York Post news article
claiming Vice President Kamala Harris’s book was being distributed to
migrant children in shelters — spread rapidly through right wing social
media after being injected into the bloodstream by outlets owned by
Rupert Murdoch and his family. Both stories were eventually corrected —
Fox on air, and the Post in two separate, corrected articles — after
being debunked by fact-checkers. In both cases, however, it’s highly
unlikely that corrections will ever penetrate the consciousness of the
average person who shared straight-faced posts referencing these fake
stories on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, or the other social media
sites. On the contrary, you’ll probably be hearing right wing relatives
griping about Harris using her book to indoctrinate migrant children and
“jokes” about Biden’s burgers for years to come.
The
future of coal power is being buried under the rise of cheaper
renewables and the Commonwealth’s energy adviser says urgent reform is
needed for the transition.
A quarterly report
released by the Australian Energy Market Operator on Wednesday showed
why coal plants, which have to pay for their fuel and cover running
costs, are struggling to compete with wind and solar which get their
fuel for free.
ESB chair Kerry Schott said “the economics of coal is that nobody
will build it” and the expected end of the lifespans of existing plants
were approaching faster than anticipated.
Dr
Schott said the current growth in renewables was on track to grow from
37 per cent of the energy mix in 2020 to exceed 75 per cent before 2040
which “means our energy system is experiencing the fastest and most
substantial change in the world”.
The real reason for Morrison's reluctance to do nothing about our emission targets
A revised Australian curriculum will give greater weight to First Nations people and to the nation’s growing cultural diversity.
Andrew Bolt's nightmare Mornington peninsula Somers will become multicultural and the surrounds populated by coloured Australians and ones wearing hijabs
Sky News host Andrew Bolt says “race propaganda” is coming to a
classroom near you “very soon” with the new proposed changes to
Australia’s national curriculum.
The changes have been recommended by the Australian Curriculum,
Assessment and Reporting Authority.
“We keep spending billions more on education, yet keep seeing standards
fall,” Mr Bolt said.
“Looking at these proposed changes, spare us. Why is it that radicals
seem in charge of deciding what gets taught?
“The deeper you look into these changes the worse it gets.”
In the subject of English, texts from Aboriginal authors “will be
promoted” and it’s recommended the terms ‘Aboriginal’ and ‘Indigenous’
should be replaced with ‘First Nations Australians’ or Australian First
Nation Peoples’.
“Our classrooms are just being prepped here for race politics,” Mr Bolt
said.
“I’m not jumping at shadows here.”
Yesterday
it was leftists who always complained and tried to 'cancel' culture.
The conservatives were happy with the way things were according to Bolt.
What bullshit he's been complaining and fighting for change for
decades. He hates Melbourne and Australia. So according to Bolt his
whinging makes him a "new age lefty" wanting to cancel any new education
directives in order to regress to the more realistic approach to
Australian history that has always been taught in the past the 200 year
myths of white Australia.
"Why
is it that radicals
seem in charge of deciding what gets taught?" Bolt seems confused
because our classrooms were always racially loaded and biased even the
terms Aboriginal and Indigenous reflect that bias. They aren't First
Nation people's words. No Bolt's right he's not jumping at shadows the
shadows were there previosly and they were the myths, the dream time of a
white Australia . He's jumping at and trying resist reality behind the
veil and maintain the shadows and myths that were always there hiding an
inglorious past.
Former China correspondent Rowan Callick says Australia needs to keep
the case of Australian Journalist Cheng Lei “constantly under
attention”.
Ms Lei, who was a host on Chinese state television, was detained by
Chinese authorities last year over allegations of supplying state
secrets.
The Australian journalist has reportedly been denied access to a lawyer
and is being held without charge in a Beijing prison.
“I believe that to honour her, the best thing that we can do is keep her
case constantly under attention,” Mr Callick told Sky News host Andrew
Bolt.
“I believe those of us who are her friends or who know her, or people
like yourself who might respect her and what she stands for, might talk
about her constantly and remind our own government that we need to
continue to make representations.”
Smell the stench of hypocrisy Bolt gives off
It's interesting isn't it that Andrew Bolt doesn't do the same for those in Australia who are being charged and tried by our governmet behind closed doors in camera. When Christian Porter was AG, secret, and part secret trials became the fashion. Andrew Bolt by not reporting them assisted in keeping them secret. He shows no principles merely a side. Why is Cheng Lei of greater significance? He doesn't seem bothered about Myanmar or Russia and he certainly doesn't give a rats about Julian Assange. June 24, 2020Secret Trials Down Under
Sky News host Andrew Bolt says now is “not a great time” to have a US
president who “looks and sounds rather frail and rather weak” given the
threat posed by China.
“US President Joe Biden today mentioned this,” Mr Bolt said.
“He made clear China’s dictator was very, very serious, and thought the
democracies of the West were actually weak for all the talk about
defending our interests and our values.”
Mr Bolt spoke with former White House staffer Barbara Heineback about
the issue.
Andrew Bolt not being able to find any fault in the president has joined the Fox chorus of claiming Biden's is physically incapable of doing the job. Compared to Trump he's proved to be a high flying mensa member. I guess Prof Stephen Hawkings was incapable of being a world leading scientist as far as Bolt's concerned. Bolt is certainly not the Pied Piper is he? He's a media rat following the tune Trump left behind when he was President along with all the other Murdochian rats at Fox.
Bolt's all about style forget the meaning that's not essential. Trump was the same the theatrics overshadowed everything. They talk ratings as strength and ignore the polls. Ratings however don't really indicate strength. When Trump was President all he talked about was his ratings not the polls. Biden may not have the ratings but he's certainly has united America as far as the polls are concerned. With over 60% of America supporting him it shows he's united America and strengthened the nation. Trump's current polling is under 30% and at his best was only 40%. Style never overtook meaning despite a fake tan, a corset, dyed hair and boogie. Trump never had as many diverse groups as Biden has supporting him. The 'weak' president is actually hiding Mr Bolt doing what you have done most of your career and never with even ratings comparable to Biden's.
Sky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell says ASIO is set to receive
more funding in the next budget in order to deal with terror threats.
It comes after Australia’s top intelligence agency warned it is likely
the nation will see an ideologically or religiously motivated terrorist
attack within the next 12 months.
“I’ve had a tip ASIO are getting more funding in the budget to deal with
such threats – not just Islamic threats but also the odd right wing
extremist,” Mr Clennell told Sky News host Andrew Bolt.
“So perhaps it was an exercise in justifying that funding.”
The "odd right-wing extremists" Did Bolt really think he could let that quote slip by without being noticed? Andrew Clennell told the commission that right-wing Nationalists have taken up 40% of ASIO's time and they were an extreme and rapidly growing threat. Guess Bolt wanted that to slip by and be forgotten. As after Christchurch he and Murdoch media were singled out as significant influencers promoters and boosters of radical right causes. After the Christchurch it became more than obvious that they were a National Security risk.
What
changed? Two decades ago, lawyers signed up 700 Aborigines in the
Northern Territory who claimed they’d been stolen from their parents.
They
then mounted the first test case to prove there’d been a “stolen
generations” and get compensation. And failed completely when the truth
came out in court.
Yet nothing can stop the “stolen generations” story, now taught as true in our schools.
Legal
firm Shine Lawyers is trying again, this time signing up 800 Aborigines
in the Northern Territory for a class action to again demand
compensation from the federal government.
And again the ABC is
treating allegation as truth, calling the 800 claimants “survivors and
descendants” of the “stolen generations”, and interviewing claimants
with zero scepticism.
It’s as if the Federal Court case of 2000
had never happened. As if anything challenging the damaging and deadly
“stolen generations” myth must be racist.
You will hear a lot of
emotive claims in the media as this latest class action hits the court,
and very little questioning by journalists or politicians of claims that
racist white officials stole children from loving parents just because
they were Aboriginal.
So let me remind you what happened to the first case, which the ABC pushed just as credulously.
Andrew Bolt is the first to say the "invasion" of Australia never happened. That there is no systemic racism. That individual stories aren't evidence of a racially charged "system". What Andrew Bolt argues is basically history is what's been written and is on the official record. If there is no such written history there can be no truth or evidence to what has been. Our historians have proved that and it's now fixed.
The First Nations peoples that were here and have been for 60,000 years aren't the only peoples in the world that didn't have a written history but who we know they were here and we are increasingly learning of their truths. The Aztecs, Mayan's, Incas and Egyptians just a few. Australia's first people did have a significant spoken history one not taken into account by our courts. What will Bolt have to say should this new class action gain traction and be upheld. We already know our courts are run by lefties and are corrupt according to Bolt. On what authority will Bolt then claim his perfect knowledge of the past, none! And that really worries him.
Let's
not for get this has been the core of the LNP's right-wing promotion
of the teaching of a Western Civilization degree in Australian
Universities the objection to Safe Schools and the basis for Sky News's
white supremacist position on our media. They have been spreading anti-
multiculturalism, Islamophobia, racism, white male privilege, neo nazi
propaganda, for decades with Andrew Bolt leading the pack.
Morrison and Frydenberg tried to spin this as if they were the first in the world to force Facebook to pay for news. Facebook has been doing it since 2019.
“One of the differences I’ve noticed between their injection program
of a few years back and our vaccination program now is that they didn’t
talk about it at all and yet managed to inject all of their playing
group within a day. Whereas we talk about our program non-stop but
haven’t managed to inject anyone.
“I’m hoping they’ll come on board to manage the program actually,
because they seemed to get 100% compliance. Not a single complaint. So
I’ll be asking about that as well.
The Health Minister said he was also hopeful of getting some useful
contacts. “I’ll be asking them if they know any other sources, because
none of the guys at Pfizer or Moderna answer my calls”.

The disgraceful European Super League is a disaster for football.
But it’s just the last step in capitalists stripping away the beautiful
game from the working-class communities that built it.
Spiked Online Editor Brendan O’Neill says news a number of top European
football clubs will break away to form a new league is “incredibly
worrying”.
Twelve of the biggest clubs including Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, and
Manchester United will play in the new league.
“It remains to be seen exactly what’s going to happen and whether this
is a bargaining chip,” Mr O’Neill told Sky News host Andrew Bolt.
“But the whole idea to me is incredibly worrying”.
“Football … has become an extraordinarily business-orientated sport,
it’s about money making, it’s become a money-making machine”.
“And it’s becoming more and more distant from working class fans in
particular.”
Is it a coincidence no not at all that O'Neill and Bolt boost themselves by stealing their opinions from others to appear to seem populists. They are really trying to save Murdoch's control of the Premier League. Battling the encroaching monopoly of a Super League for Murdoch isn't joining a supporters movement . O'Neill has simply taken Ben Joyce's article from the American left-wing Jacobin and applied it as his own opinion. Andrew Bolt and Rupert Murdoch have provided him the platform to do it in order to seem football traditionalists when they're not.
The EU football clubs aren't "breaking away" they are being "swallowed up" by Capitalism's natural evolution as was tennis and cricket before them. The sports Industry has bought and wants to own all the clubs and take them away from their roots why? To steal the football audience as Netflix has done to movie goers simply reduce the middle men. There is nothing strange about that that's the nature of capitalism Amazon lead the way. It's what Sky and Murdoch did in the past to gain the broadcast rights to the game in the 80s and 90s. What India did with the IPL
However now Sky has been out played by a Super League or have they? Murdoch in fact seems to be supporting the notion of the super league and jumped on board with his heavy investments into gambling and massive divestment from entertainment due to Netflix stealing his thunder and subscriptions. Nothing has really changed other than Capitalism's ongoing evolution and the money supporting it.
It’s important to point out that the Super League isn’t an anomaly.
It is, rather, a continuation of the path football has been traveling
for a long time. Some would point to the creation of the Premier League
itself in the 1990s, with the incentive of Sky television money, as the
origin point. But there is something qualitatively different about the
clubs themselves controlling the game — at least in the Premier
League–era giants of English football like Newcastle, Leeds, Aston
Villa, and even Super League “Founding Club” Manchester City have been
relegated. (Ben Joyce)
Former Labor Minister Stephen Conroy says the Labor Party is giving
workers in the coal industry a “very positive sign” by reaffirming the
importance of coal.
Labor has recently voiced support for the coal industry, with resources
spokeswoman Madeleine King announcing the party will not stand in the
way of new coal mines.
“If I was Scott Morrison today, I would be a little bit nervous that
maybe the Labor Party has learnt [from] some of the mistakes it’s made
over the last few years,” Mr Conroy told Sky News host Andrew Bolt.
The ALP isn't supporting coal at all it's is supporting a transition away from it as it has always done and not a transition to it. It certainly isn't saying coal is the road to net zero emissions as Morrison makes out. The ALP's message is and has always been that more jobs will be created and found in the renewable energy sector than will be found in coal.
This is more a case of Sky gaslighting than reporting the news. A"very positive sign" couldn't be more of an indication. When ex ALP ministers are employed to help for a fee it shows however they aren't the ALP any longer but are guns for hire. However they never seem to stay for very long as Emerson once on Bolt's panel showed. He showed more than just a "very positive sign" he left. Unlike the Nationals and the Liberals the Greens and the ALP aren't a coalition and neither are their policies.
Even in the absence of a national policy, Jotzo believes that the speed
with which energy storage technology is being developed and introduced –
everything from batteries to new pumped hydro – is such that the vacuum
created by shutting a station the size of Yallourn can be filled in
time with renewables backed by storage.
‘If
I have to fall on my sword for expressing an honestly held opinion
about Meghan Markle and that diatribe of bilge, so be it,’ the
controversial TV personality said.
Pierce Morgan sacrificing himself on the altar of bullshit. What we have is a privatized system of media selling "opinion and influence" as "news and information" reducing the the public's ability to sort fact from fiction uninfluenced.
Morgan has every right to have his personal opinions but no right to their distribution by a licensed media system that claims to be the distributor of verified news. If he has that right then everyone with an opinion should have the same unmoderated privilege.
There is an agreed distinction between news and opinion and the media supposedly acknowledges that but fails to distinguish it. Fake product is fake product Morgan should take his opinions to a soap box on a street corner as can every unprivileged individual in Britain .
If
Piers Morgan was fired from Good Morning Britain, then it was a
“terrible mistake” given the provocative television personality was the
only thing “remotely interesting” about the show, according to Sky News
Digital Editor Jack Houghton.
Mr Morgan quit his role as host of popular British breakfast program
Good Morning Britain after controversial comments he made about the Duke
and Duchess of Sussex.
Discussing whether he walked or was pushed, Mr Houghton said it would
have been a “terrible mistake” if Mr Morgan was fired.
“For him to be missing, I mean he was the show,” Mr Houghton told Sky
News host Andrew Bolt.
“He may have been polarising, but if they did actually walk him and
they’re trying to dress it up as his resignation from some agreement, I
think they’ve made a mistake”.
“I think the more likely scenario is he’s had enough of being berated by
the woke crew that he’s surrounded by, and he’s going off to some other
venture.”
Andrew Bolt tries to do what Pierce Morgan does. However, is he an "interesting thing for sale" a wanna be "Freak Show"? Freedom of speech is available to everybody the problem it's distribution is privileged. Andrew Bolt isn't a Morgan. He tries to walk the line but unlike Morgan Bolt would never give up his privileged seat when booed why?
Bolt knows Murdoch isn't going to find another job for him like he will for Morgan. Remember he once threatened to quit but dutifully didn't. Even though News Corp failed to back him up. Bolt hangs on to his job like a leech but then eulogizes Pierce Morgan for his high, standard setting, "intresting" show. Rape and porn are things found "interesting" by a wide number of people but they aren't found in licensed media. Mind you it was Murdoch that started tits on page three when he arrived in Britain. Imagine putting Morgan's show in time capsule to show the future just how civilized we once were. It would look like something out of Hunger Games.
It's media version of the Inquisition with Morgan sentencing the burning of the witch at the stake. In this case it seems the Inquisitor in Chief went too far. Resignations take some time to think about. Sackings are generally much much faster. However an already pre-planned exit for a future performance might be a useful way of breaking a contract.
Would Andrew Bolt volunteer his seat of privilege to Kevin Rudd for a week? Very easy to freely mock people from a position of privilege. Bolt's audience is a dying crowd for that we are lucky.
Sky
News Washington correspondent Anneliese Nielsen says the allegations of
racism made by Meghan Markle against the Royal Family “is all anyone’s
talking about”.
“This sit down with Oprah gained so much momentum with them running
tidbits in morning TV last week and just hitting on this issue on the
race has just been so much checking in with what’s such a febrile
issue,” she told Sky News host Andrew Bolt.
Bolt keeps referring to Meghan and her supporters as Woke which amplifies just what a Racist he is. In calling her supporters Woke Bolt simply shows what a misogynist he is. The Royal Family pictured as the victims frames Bolt as the patriotic monarchist white supremacist Wasp he is. Andrew Bolt claims to be a free thinking individual. Yet he's been a Corporate puppet for half his life. The least adventurous person at News Corp like a rat in a wheel. He might as well be told. He is incarcerated in a system not of his own making. Harry is so right.The interview is impacting against Harry and Meghan in the UK according to Andrew Bolt so much so Pierce Morgan resigned because of the support he was getting for sliming them. Bolt's truly Australia's worst media commentator. By the way Colonialism was the economic foundation on which the British Monarch survived it's Inglorious past.
Sky
News host Andrew Bolt says he wonders how much longer it will be before
Australians realise they are “being sold green fantasies” which will
cost them.
Bolt's Guest
Dr Alan Moran was the Director of the Deregulation
Unit at the Institute of Public Affairs from 1996 until 2014 and chose Andrew Bolt to deliver facts on Climate Change as an expert. Here they are tag teaming again with Bolt the exert debtor not debating.
Greensill's bankruptcy seems to be economic mismanagement hardly anything to do with climate change and all private enterprise. Businesses going bad doesn't mean green energy is bad however what's not mentioned is the fact investment in green energy is up and showing a profit while coal is finding ti difficult to attract money. The lesson here one rotten egg isn't the chicken coop as Bolt wants us to believe.
Let's guess that the early closure of Yallourn is a threat that will force electricity prices which have fallen dramatically up. The more coal closures the higher the prices. Without data it's not a fact but only conjecture or opinion. The facts and their trend however have indicated the booming advances in green energy have been accelerating in a much shorter time than predicted, on all the evidence predictions about increasing even more rapidly are reasonable. The more probable reason prices might rise is due to the fact they will be negatively manipulated by LNP who dumped their national energy plan 2 years ago and are about to invest in building more coal powered plants that nobody wants to invest in.
500 jobs will be lost to a dying industry. However, thousands are being created now replacing it.
These are what Andrew Bolt calls "green fantasies". Guarantee he doesn't invest his money in his fake dreams.
The
Victorian Labor government’s “truth and justice” commission to find and
declare the truth about how white colonialists ruined things for
Indigenous people is “so Orwellian,” according to Sky News host Andrew
Bolt.
“This is not about truth at all, this is about promoting grievances,
racial grievances,” Mr Bolt said.
“Well, one truth I don’t think this commission will discuss is that this
racial division – this us and them talk – can be dangerous”.
“Some people build their careers on exactly this kind of hard racial
division.”
Mr Bolt pointed to Lidia Thorpe, who became a Greens Senator “promoting
her Aboriginal ancestry” and today supported the truth-telling
commission.
“I think the truth is the last thing that commission will give us,” Mr
Bolt said.
“Here are more truths that I doubt this truth commission will preach:
For instance Aboriginal children are twice more likely to skip school,
Aboriginal families are more likely to live out where there are very few
or no jobs”.
“Aboriginal women are 30 times more likely to be hospitalized by family
violence … there are some real cultural issues here”.
“We do need the truth, but we won’t get it if activists make people too
scared to discuss things openly and honestly.”
Bolt the lord of flipping and reversing race, misogyny and bullying obviously thinks the post WW2 Commissions and hunting down of Nazis was extreme, the South African Commissions The ICC, and all the countless other commissions held were not just a total waste of time but a witch hunt unfair and nothing to do with truth. He stands shoulder to shoulder with others that thought the same. The Dutch thought it unfair to be singled out in the 1980s about their "real" treatment of their Jews when only 20% survived. It turned out they weren't the heroes they made out they were. They happened to be Nazis, White South Africans, and Bolt who seems to sympathize and find excuse with crimes against humanity.To try to investigate the truth seems to be an act of victimization so Bolt wants the search for truth closed,tossed out, simply washed down the drain.However then he goes on and on blaming indigenous Australians for their cultures of poverty. Cultures whose foundation was built and changed by their destruction by Colonialism which has been allowed to continue generationally and grow.
Strange Bolt is blind to the fact that what he claims to be "indigenous culture" is being witnessed. ever increasingly, in white society as well in our public homelessness, drug taking and hopelessness. Does Bolt think were becoming indigenous? He certainly refuses to consider the system in which we all live is at fault or even seriously looked for that matter. Only deplorables and wokes demand that. Well I'm afraid they are larger and growing and at election time their vote has shown and gained strength. Bolt certainly couldn't save Tony Abbott could he and Tony Abbott couldn't save himself. Times are changing Andrew Bolt and crying the new age victim just amplifies what you are a paid advocate for the guilty.
Victoria’s
Labor Government has sent up a sinister “truth and justice” commission
to declare the “truth” about how white racism and Aboriginal victims. It
says it “is committed to acknowledging the truth” of our past, but
“truth” is about the last thing anyone can expect. This is about
stirring race resentments instead.
Oh apparently "race resentments" weren't stirred by the arrival of the white men who colonized this state. It was all in the name of "peace and good will" no need to reexamine that. There is no "race resentment" on the part of the patriotic thugs that won and now dominate. Take a look at a photo everyone looks the same except those that want to cause a fuss. Now white supremacists like Bolt say of any complaint that is "race resentment" or they are after our money.
There were 3 deaths in custody this week what doesn't surprise me is Bolt doesn't mention them. What surprises me is Bolt not using them as examples of the extent First Nation's peoples go in their grievance and resentment against whites. To Bolt they were in custody because they were criminals. and criminals die in prison.
What kind of moron is Andrew Bolt? Well according to him he's a friend of the Jews and a friend of indigenous Australians on what basis? He simply he says so. He's a dual citizen and a dual moron. Firstly a Dutch moron who if he was of age in the 80s and had a voice would have told Israeli Jews to stop investigating the Dutch WW2 myths portraying them as saviors of the Dutch Jews during the war. The "truth" of that investigation showed they were persecuted and transported so much so that only 20% survived yet the Dutch heroism myths were born. "Stop because that 'truth' will only stir resentment"s Bolt would have said just as the Dutch did back then.
Secondly Bolt's an Australian moron, same reason. Investigating the "truth" of our past is the last thing anyone can expect". Some, Australians are like Bolt and certainly don't want to even look back "because it will only stir up resentment". Resentment doesn't have to be stirred it already resides with the Bolts of Australia. Post WW2 the Germans carried out their own investigation of their history and painful as it was it united them so much so they teach it everyday in primary schools "lest we forget" has true meaning for them. Let's forget has meaning for White Supremacists like Bolt.
How many Nazis sought to hide the truth of their past. They said the same as Andrew Bolt? Don't because it would only stir up the resentment. But rather it unified a whole nation and reminded them that a repetition of that past should never happen again. How many Andrew Bolts resisted that revision of history and are doing the same here in Victoria? How many prefer their historical fiction to the truth? Andrew Bolt's their voice.
If a cut and paste job was done on the history of Bolt's comments as he did on Lydia Thorpe's what do you think it would show? The compassion "some are even my friends" that alone sums Bolt up and he claims Indigenous Australians talk "them and us" of course they do because they were never invited to be a part of us and Bolt denys that. Australian Culture has a history of turning it's backs on it's people and and families and our jails are full of them proving push does come to shove.
Why is it we allow our PM to get away with BULLSHIT. Bring back the ABC
When Prime Minister Scott
Morrison was invited at a recent press conference to condemn far-right
conspiracy theories promoted by government members such as George
Christensen, he refused. He also defended another Liberal backbencher,
Craig Kelly, who has undermined the government’s health message by
spreading false information about COVID-19. At the time, Morrison said:
“There’s such a thing as freedom of speech in this country and that will
continue.”
Like
aged care, quarantine is the responsibility of the federal government.
Yet the Morrison government forced that role onto the states and
territories, and deployed a submissive media to snipe from the
sidelines.
