Bolt complains about student style harranging and that is all he does. Here is a How question which he claims is always avoided by his opponents.
May I ask how Bolt or Hockey HOW first home buyers are meant to purchase a house in a city where the average price of housing is about to hit $1mill. Cut the long winded rhetoric Bolt and answer the simple question of HOW? Hockey is free to answer the question as well.
Wait for the long silence folks it will be deafening!!!
What do MPs contribute to our economy by paying off their Canberra investment homes with tax payer money? If politicians used commercial accommodation they would be increasing the level of employment in Canberra. They all do a Hockey and merely increase their Capital holdings which a accrue capital gain and collect rent which reduces their mortgage and enables them to negative gear they gain a lot. However the economy gains a little tax. So much for the trickle down effect.
These Mr Bolt are not fact bred not from envy or lazy twittering. Is Andrew Bolt whizz reporter found on the streets interviewing, researching being an active journalist not on your life! He's being sent posts from his Trolls. He cuts and pastes is a paywall for Murdoch and writes at most a few Dorothy Dix comments. University publications are so far ahead of his postured rants and Butthead jokes he shares with Bevis Blair. He, more than most, feeds off Twitter which scoffs at for his blogs. Who really is the lounge room reporter no blogger in his superman suit? His lounge room blog feeds directly into his Dolt Report and it's why it has no ratings but paid for by Murdoch for Ch10.
What does Abbott Know?
WHAT YOU DON'T HEAR FROM ABBOTT NOR IS EVER ASKED BY BOLT. IT IS A FAR GREATER QUESTION NEVER ANSWERED AND ALWAYS AVOIDED.
Would Bolt actually stand up and say what he believes Independence means? It certainty does not mean without opinion able to be threatened or intimidated. I thought it was the core of his belief in freedom.
So called commissioners are guaranteed those freedoms. Democracy hangs on the electorates right to vote and more so on the right of the government to be brought to question by so called Commissions and Commissioners. That is the essence of a healthy functioning Democracy. It's the very core of this governments failure.
Spreading his usual crap on the premise if you say it often enough someone might believe it.
Aborigines and Torres Strait Islanders may not as yet agree on the the Constitution however I suspect the race issue in the Constitution is irrelevant to them. They do not want Warren Mundine who Bolt trots out to make his point as their represenative. He is government appointed. They do not want a government appointed spokesperson to speak on their behalf. They do want is an elected authority recognized by government to be listened to them. A body without constitutional recognition or powers but a body nevertheless that does provide advice. Bolt avoids this notion prostitutes it misrepresents it and will continue to do so. The constitution is just a blind
WHAT YOU WONT HEAR FROM BOLT
UPDATE
According to Bolt only the rich know how to make money and advize on it? The rich make Capital Gains and do collect Rent. They don't invest in productive enterprises to the extent Bolt believes. Most wealth certainly comes from inheritance and not the imagined entrepreneurship Bolt believes in. Inheritance does not in the main become productive. That comes from a minimal few and large corporations. Production if any is the mainstay of small middle class businesses. Bad advice is bad advice no matter the bank balance. The mega rich are known for their bad advice just look at Financial Services. They make money whether advice is good or bad.
Here is what commissions are all about however not what is being done to the UNHRC and Triggs It's about respecting their independence. This is when you see the real difference between Labour and Liberals. Who do you think actually respects the independence of commissions an important part of our Democracy. Who do you think acts as if they're born to rule? Is Abbott anything other than a Hells' Angel in a suit. Just look at his track record and the blood in his wake. He is IS in Australia and wants Trigg's head.
If the middle class of this country are the resource that guaranteed jobs because of their spending and are now shrinking. If they're using their capital just to stay afloat what can we expect of the future? Unions can save the middle class
‘That’s racist;’ ‘That’s sexist;’ ‘That’s prejudice,’” he said. “They don’t know what the f—k they’re talking about.” Seinfeld
So anti - immigration is Bolt's solution to infrastructure , housing , multiculturalism and unemployment. Maybe imports need severe restriction to isolationism the way to go. Bolt believes we should be more like Nth Korea. Just shut the doors spend only on Defense and Protecting our borders that's all it takes. After all we have what the world needs and doesn't realize they do, our wealth in the ground. Bolt has just insured putting the handbrake on the economy the opposite to what Hockey has advised. But than Bolt must think he's wealthy enough to put out advice.

John Quinn Australian Ambassador shows diplomacy is just lying
In its written response, dated April 24, "the government insisted it
had not "sought to remove any member of the commission" and maintained
it respected the independence of the commission and "recognises that it
will sometimes be critical of the government".
"Though the
government will not always agree with the Commission's recommendations,
it welcomes a vigorous and diverse human rights debate in Australia, and
the Commission plays a constructive role in that debate," the response,
signed by Australia's ambassador to the UN in Geneva, John Quinn."
There is no acceptance of the independance of the UNHRC and the role of commissions in this country. There is only begrudging acceptance of the UN in the way this government acts. Was it not for a signed agreement Tony Abbott would have Gillian Triggs removed and even consider removing her passport. There just has to be a way to get rid of her because abuse and bullying so much a part of Abbott's method is not working.
Bolt certainly isn't of any use because I'm sure Trigg's doesn't read anything he writes. However he's is backing his team as there is no principles here. This is as disgusting as a government can get. Barrage against Triggs is contemptible

Do the math Bolt do the math
With the mean housing price in
Sydney at $1 mill there is a very few first home buyers that will fit Hockey's fantasy. If the mean Australian mortgage is $385,000 the deposit
required for a Sydney property is around $650,000 all expenses covered.
Who among these first home buyers is Hockey addressing? How long does he
consider it takes to build a deposit of that size? Interest only is almost $2000 per week. So what jobs is Hockey suggesting first home buyers find
? That's the average wage is for 2 people after tax so I guess they'll need to rent out rooms for cash to live.
Even if this young fantasy couple managed to do this what financial risk is Hockey suggesting they take on with a potential housing bubble and interest rate rises expected? When will this young couple ever have time for a family? Hockey truly does live in la la land and he builds very strong case for same sex or childless marriages.

Given that these so called sources are blocked making the blog unsourced can Bolt be trusted? Last I heard was a report that Palmer was acquitted by the courts of any offense. If that is the case Bolt's selection of quotes which can't be checked without a payment to Rupert Murdoch could be seen as fraudulent leads. So I repeat can Bolt be trusted given his record?
Link news.com.au Murdoch's Churnal.
The $71,000 Bolt refers to is the budget divided by 40,000 the expected number of asylum seekers . That figure has been called "crass" by Brendon Connor of the immigration dept who said it totally misrepresents the spending required for border protection" and reported this 2 years ago. Bolt refering to a recent report said the crew and a boat load of asylum seekers were paid to go back and it only cost only cost $30,000 something Minister Dutton denied.
So Bolt is not only calling Dutton a liar but also dumb for not making political mileage out of that possibility. However "The great significance is how would this decision be seen in regards of
our regional neighbours,"If Australian officials were to pay
crews to take those people to Indonesia, I suspect that Indonesia and
some other regional neighbours would take a dim view of that conduct
from Australia."
Bolt in fact is offerring the people smuggling business a greater commercial opportunity Boomerang Boats money to be made by not going to Australia just go for a cruise and get paid over and over again.
Good one Bolt
