Warlpiri man Kumanjayi Walker, 19, died after being shot three times by Rolfe as four officers attempted to arrest him in the remote Aboriginal community of Yuendumu in central Australia on 9 November 2019. Rolfe was charged with murder several days later. He received bail and appeared before the local court on Monday via video link from Canberra.

Below Andrew Bolt boosts himself failing to mention Rolfe shot Walker X3 while 4 police attempted to arrest him for breaking bail. " Judges send matters to trial if they conclude at a committal hearing that a reasonable person might find an accused guilty of a charge based on the evidence."

 At last month’s committal hearing, the expert criminologist Dr Geoffrey Alpert gave evidence after viewing police body-worn camera footage from the shooting. Alpert believed the first shot Rolfe fired during a struggle with Walker was “reasonable” but two follow-up shots were “excessive, unreasonable and unnecessary”.

 Andrew Bolt's self-promo and White racist insanity

With a proven track record of driving the news cycle, Andrew Bolt steers discussion, encourages debate and offers his perspective on national affairs. A leading journalist and commentator, Andrew’s columns are published in the Herald Sun, Daily Telegraph and Advertiser. He writes Australia's most-read political blog and hosts The Bolt Report on SkyNews each weeknight.

This is all bullshit. Bolt's Blog is more idle than active posts often weeks apart. His blog is the very opposite of what he claims it to be "Australia's most read political blog" my ass. The Bolt Report is little more than a right-wing monologue and a promotion of Neo-fascist thinking that doesn't encourage debate or discussion. By and large Andrew Bolt is a less than average hack,a camp follower for Murdoch's MSM in Australia which is hemorrhaging money and subscribers.  The ABC stands head and shoulders over anything Bolt has to offer. Bolt is the equivalent of that WW2 Italian tank 1 forward gear and 6 reverse.

ZACHARY ROLFE: WAS COP CHARGED WITH BEING WHITE?

Constable Zachary Rolfe shot dead a man who'd stabbed him and his partner. Then the politics started, 

with promises to Aboriginal protesters that "black lives matter". Rolfe was almost immediately charged with murder, and now hit with two more charges that have enraged fellow police.

From the start, it seemed Constable Zachary Rolfe was the victim of politics. Was he charged with murder because he was white?

Last Friday came more disturbing developments – two fresh charges – as Rolfe prepares to stand trial for allegedly murdering an Aboriginal criminal who’d just stabbed him and his partner.

Whether Rolfe is guilty will be up to the Darwin Supreme Court to decide next month, but how the case has been handled by police and politicians smells of the politics of Black Lives Matter.

On a Saturday in November, 2019, Constable Rolfe went to the volatile Aboriginal community of Yuendumu to arrest 19-year-old Kumanjayi Walker.

Walker had been in jail, charged with assaulting police and aggravated assault, and breached his suspended sentence by returning to Yuendumu, 300km northwest of Alice Springs.

On the Wednesday before the shooting, local police had tried to arrest Walker. He chased them away with an axe.

Andrew Bolt tends to mix the Law with Cultural myths and beliefs that whites can do little wrong morally. Consequently the Law in this case obviously has got it wrong. White culture is the right culture according to Bolt and for 200 years it has rightfully dominated and colonized indigenous Australia. The facts in this legal case bear no need of mention. Yet it was white police that collected and presented evidence which then assessed by the DPP brought the charges laid to trial. Forget the law cries Bolt the system has been influenced by racism and Black Racism to boot even though the process was conducted in the main proceduraly by white men.

As far as Bolt is concerned this single case represents an attack on white Australia by what institutional black legal system? None but by a cultural bleeding hearted left wing sympathy for blacks. Hardly as there is no such thing as a "black man's justice system only a white man's. A system on any other day Bolt generally declares is colorless fair and correct. No stolen children as far as Bolt's concerned. However not in this case why? Have all the white police who collected evidence been corrupted? Has the DPP been bought and influenced by some wealthy invisible black nation? Social research shows indigenous Australians are at the very bottom of Australian society on every social metric and have no wealth or power other than that gifted them. So, to declare some weird notion of a Black Power that has influenced the legal system flies in the face of all historic evidence.

Only a white racist like Andrew Bolt can come to the conclusion that the BLM movement in Australia has influenced, shifted and changed the systemic nature of our legal system and  is now victimizing whitemen  some statistically significant numbers. 400 Aboriginal deaths in custody is normal for Bolt no charges laid.  That's as it should be. One cop charged and Bolt's world has come apart. History shows that the likelihood of Rolfe being found guilty is highly unlikely. 

What is more likely is Andrew Bolt knowing this is taking up a cause for self-gandisement. The probability of the law finding Rolfe innocent is high and will boost Bolt's failing media presence. If wrong Bolt will do what he always does simply stop chasing the issue and fade to silence. What's more important and significant is that Bolt's blog for most of his recent posts thes past months has been little about anything other than Race. His obsession with Bruce Pascoe, Critical Race Theory and Replacement theory almost his  sole focus.That the dominant culture of Australia is Western Christian and White as far as Bolt is concerned. He maybe right when it comes to the powerful and elite but they are only really representative of a minority of Australia's Culture, and not Bolt's false myth that they represent and are indicative of our multicultural majority.

Fighting Fake News with REAL 4/5/21 HBO Exterminate all the Brutes; Australia's Genocidal Identity, History, Faux Mo Morrison, Grumpy Geezer,

 

 

 

Perhaps most blindingly, Exterminate All the Brutes vibrantly illustrates the role of culture in perpetuating myths of supremacy. Movies, yes; Peck has plenty to say about the images we’ve been served up for virtually all of cinema’s history. But also photographs, and stories, and speeches, and songs, and phrases like “brutes” and “savage,” even the tying of darkness to something brutish and bad and uncivilized. What we see, say, and hear, the pictures we look at and the casual phrases we throw around — they all make it possible for us to accept what seems like it ought to be unacceptable. If a culture is made up of the things that people create to make sense of the world around them, then the opposite is also true: Culture tells people what they ought to believe, and if you tell people long enough that their genetics entitle them to rule over and to “civilize” others, they’ll believe it.

Horrified barely scratches the surface of how I felt the day I learnt what is defined as genocide. After being directed to the United Nations 1948 Genocide Convention website. My heart sank reading Article II. (Excerpt from the Article II of UN Website) In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such: Killing members of the group; Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

FauxMo quotes “We believe in the everlasting punishment of the wicked (in the sense of eternal torment) who wilfully reject and despise the love of God“ “Liberty cannot be established without morality, nor morality without faith.” “Freedom has never worked without deeply ingrained moral beliefs.” * * * * * “When the government puts its imprimatur on a particular religion, it conveys a message of exclusion to all those who do not adhere to the favored beliefs. A government cannot be premised on the belief that all persons are created equal when it asserts that God prefers some.” (Harry Blackmun, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States 1970 -1994).

After proof Australia is racist? Just look at Morrison’s latest stunt

When the pandemic was at its peak and infection rates were as bad in predominantly “white” countries, there was no need to criminalise those trying to reach Australia.

Flights were stopped. Entry was and is rationed. It was enough, is enough. But for ethnic Indians, Morrison thinks the threat of jail is required.

Nothing racist about that?

Well, the legislation doesn’t specify “ethnic Indians”, but guess what people from India tend to be?

 

FAKE NEWS AND MISINFORMATION EXPOSED

 

  

Sky News host Andrew Bolt says we have a sacred duty to protect Australians and the ban on arrivals from India is a shame on this country. The controversial ban has made it illegal for people who spent time in India within 14 days of their intended arrival date in Australia to return home and imposed a $66,000 fine or five-year jail term for those found breaking the rules. “It is our duty, in fact it says in the passport it is our duty to help Australians in trouble overseas,” Mr Bolt said. “For the Indian Australians stuck in India and unable to escape, unable to come home to a decent healthcare system is a shame on this country.” 

 As the song goes " Nobody laughs at God in a hospital" but not in the case of Andrew Bolt who self-promotion finds him smiling joyfully next to a Funeral Pyre.

 It appears Bolt is determined to provide proof that he's a hypocrite who suffers from what appears to be  Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Why on earth would anyone, otherwise, post a picture of themselves as some sort of media hero when over decades he's proved to be the very opposite. Particularly we find him unsympathetically smiling next to somebody's personal tragedy. Andrew Bolt is white washing himself. What we see is fake. His face is no longer youthful but more often than not dower and that of a guilt ridden hypocrite who was once prepared to lock the door on any Australian who volunteered to help fight Ebola in Africa. Let them go and leave them there was his advice. He didn't post a photo of himself back then for obvious reasons. 

Bolt was a leading voice in calling COVID Chinese and the Kung Flu he wasn't original either. He was a Trumpster who wanted our borders closed to thousands of Chinese and others coming in from shithole countries. To Bolt these Australian immigrants were less than human. He was happy to have Chinese, Africans and others sent home to face war disease and death and of course color had nothing to do with it. They simply weren't the people he wanted to see in his neighbourhood. He fled to WASP country the Mornington Peninsula to get away from the changes in Malvern. 

Ban on arrivals from India a ‘shame on this country’

 

 Sky News contributor Daisy Cousens says the woke twitterati - who effectively called for a "police state" last year - see the government’s travel ban as a “chance to virtue signal” and call the government racist. The Morrison government has enforced a travel ban for all Australian citizens seeking to return home from India. An article written by Andrew Bolt which derided the government’s decision and said it “stinked of racism” was at the top of the trending list on Twitter on Monday. Ms Cousens said the same crowd which supported Mr Bolt’s sentiments and slammed the government’s decision were the one who had been “effectively advocating for a police state in Australia for the last year”. “All of a sudden they’re happy to criticise this travel ban,” she said. “If this was a travel ban for the UK, with white people they would be making nary a peep. “I think they see this as a chance to virtue signal because it’s a ban from India, it’s an opportunity to call the government racist and stand on their soap box.”

 Andrew Bolt doesn't care how he milks the publicity as long as he gets the headlines which doesn't happen too often. It seems Daisy Cousens has  declared Bolt a leader a Pied Piper of the Twitterati. Note she doesn't say "left-wing" but only leader of the twits. Maybe she's right like Moomba Bolt has elected himself as King and appointed Cousens his Queen of twits. 

We mustn't forget how Bolt not long ago demanded all  medical professionals who volunteered to go to the front line to battle Ebola be locked out when and if they wanted to return home. Yes that was Bolt the loudest voice against offering any help to Africa or any assistance to those who wanted to help them. The Cubans didn't hesitate in helping stop the spread.

 But then Bolt would deny that he lead the charge calling Covid-19 the Kung Flu and the virus Chinese and then calling for ban on Chinese coming to Australia, no matter their nationality.

Twitterati who call for ‘police state’ suddenly ‘happy to criticise travel ban’

 

 Sky News host Andrew Bolt says the India travel ban is a “moment of shame” and he can’t believe Australia is “so hopeless” it can’t set up a quarantine system to deal with the problem. The federal government has made it illegal for people who spent time in India within 14 days of their intended arrival date in Australia to return home and imposed a $66,000 fine or five-year jail term for those found breaking the rules. “The government’s sacred duty is not to protect Australia, but to protect Australians, not the land but the people of Australia – its flesh and its blood,” Mr Bolt said. “We are talking here about up to 8,000 people we welcomed as citizens. Indians who had to give up Indian citizenship to become one of us and they now have no other country, and when they became citizens we made them a promise to help them in trouble. “We are better than this.” Mr Bolt spoke with India Australia Strategic Alliance Chairman Dr Jagvinder Singh Virk and the University of Canberra’s Professor Kim Rubenstein about the issue. 

Andrew Bolt's an idiot but certainly not a savant. He has deemed all 8000 Australians stuck in India as "Indian Australians" why? Because color is firmly and always on his mind. He doesn't know who the 8000 are but he gets far more mileage calling them Indians rather than just Australians. 

Bolt has a racist mind set, a history and is a bigot but above all he's also an egocentric who like Trump craves attention. He was in India once and thought it a shithole country from which he came racing home in his failed effort and dream to be a freelance journalist. He hurried home to work for Rupert and need to be noticed and he's been with him ever since. If he manages to gain attention  a few times a year he becomes  commodified packaged and sold as a "lead must read" to advertisers. But please don't look at his ratings which are poor but only his demographic which is old, WASP and no longer Australian. It's interesting the cross selling done on his blog it's conservative all around in this case the  LNP Tasmanian government advertising to monied aged conservative readers looking for a holiday.

Government’s duty is ‘not to protect Australia’ but rather to ‘protect Australians’

 

Former Victorian Liberal Party president Michael Kroger says the prime minister and health minister feel “very uncomfortable” about accepting the medical advice around the India travel ban. The Morrison government has enforced a travel ban for all Australian citizens seeking to return home from India. Mr Kroger told Sky News the government’s decision was wrong but it was based on the medical advice. “Scott Morrison and Greg Hunt feel very very uncomfortable about having accepted the advice,” he said. “They don’t like it, they don’t think it is morally right that this is being done. “I know they both feel they have to accept the advice. They morally don’t feel it is right, and I don’t think this ban will last until the 15th of May.” 

 What already the apologists are out for Morrison's poor decision making, "the doctors made them do it." Those bloody left-wing commie doctors made Morrison and Hunt do it. They didn't budge or do anything when it came building "fit for purpose" quarantine stations. They blamed the the States for that. They didn't blink when accused of deregulating aged care facilities and allowing the privateers in to profit from then. They blamed the States for that.  Morrison, this week, has moved to the back ground so if the shit hits  the fan he can blame his ministers for that.

PM and Health Minister are ‘very uncomfortable’ about citizen travel ban: Kroger

 

 Sky News host Andrew Bolt says there is news today which doesn’t fit the script of the “global warming scare” as evidence shows the fear may be “wildly exaggerated”. “How often have disaster junkies in the media predicted all kinds of climate catastrophes,” he said. “So many people – scientists, journalists, and politicians - have staked their reputation on this global warming scare that who of them would now dare admit they may have exaggerated”. Every month the University of Alabama at Huntsville analyses data from satellites from America’s National Oceanic and Atmospheric Organisation which circle the earth measuring thermal emissions from oxygen in the air. “This year they've noticed a fall in the world's temperature, and now, overnight, they said there was yet another fall in April,” Mr Bolt said. “The world's temperature is now 0.05 degrees below the average for the last decade of last century. We have got cooler, not warmer. “Let me be straight with you. There has still been a slight warming trend. And the temperatures do go up and down depending on ocean patterns. “My main point is: you are never told in other media outlets about good news like this. Evidence that the global warming scare may be wildly exaggerated, and the world is not warming anywhere as fast as predicted.” 

The "good news" Bolt speaks of is produced by an infamous "unnamed" scientist in Alabama and the anonymity is really no coincidence. Bolt's been following and promoting Roy Spencer and John Christie's work for 2 Decades. Both have been highly criticized for their work when peer-reviewed. So much so that  the science community rarely pay any attention to them any longer. Mind you political deniers do. Christie  was appointed by Trump as an advisor on climate change to justify slashing budgets allocated to reducing CO2 emissions.

 Of the 97% of global science experts around the world hundreds in fact who agree the planet is warming and have continued to do so since the last century only Spencer and Christie said it was cooling. Only to have to face the fact that for the past 20+ years the evidence shows they were wrong. While they were wrong Bolt was nevertheless boosting them down under and maintaining they were right. Here he is back again but not naming his source. Why would that be? Is it because Spencer is still funded by the Heartland Institute or is it the Heritage Foundation? Is it the Mercer family or the Koch's paying? Unfortunately any mention of these bankers names all lobbyists for fossil fuels actually undermines Bolt and his ever so limited reference?

Evidence shows global warming scare may be ‘wildly exaggerated’

 

 

 Retired meteorologist William Kininmonth has told Sky News a “slow steady warming” has been taking place “well before” carbon dioxide started to increase in the atmosphere. Mr Kininmonth said the warming or cooling of the oceans mirrored that of the atmosphere, and the rate of warming has been “about one degree per century which really is not very much”. “Recent observations from the corals in the trop oceans have pointed to this warming has been taking place since around about 1800, 1820,” he said. “It’s been a slow steady warming that’s been taking place - it commenced well before carbon dioxide started to increase in the atmosphere. “I think we can look at it as being part of the natural processes of the climate system. “I don’t think we should be worried at all.” 

One only needs to Google Kininmonth to find what a disreputable  Climate Denier he in fact is. Is it just a coincidence that he like Spencer he is backed by the Heartland Institute? Bolt has been pulling the same old, same old rabbits out of his hat as proof they are still modern day researchers on the science and it's subject matter. They're not. They are old guard deniers who gained some attention back in the 90s but added nothing to the argument for twenty years after they were deemed wrong.

Bolt is little more than an old school space filler the major players have changed and it seems he simply hasn't kept up,

The industry’s new approach appears focused on selling the idea that natural gas is “clean” and that fossil fuels are the future — even a “solution” to climate change. Meanwhile, across the U.S., coal plants are closing, the gas industry is a financial disaster, and renewables are growing rapidly and in many cases can provide electricity more cheaply than gas power plants.

The Cato Institute, another free market think tank that for years pushed climate science denial and received funding from the fossil fuel industry, dropped its climate denial program earlier this year. Cato was founded by the petrochemical billionaire Charles Koch. 

Will Heartland follow a similar path to attract broader appeal and fossil fuel industry funding?

 

Recent global warming has been ‘part of the natural processes’ of climate: Retired Meteorologist

 

Spiked Online Editor Brendan O’Neill says the recent arrest of a 71-year-old pastor in the UK for alleged hate speech is a “vile assault on freedom of religion”. The pastor in Britain was handcuffed and arrested by police for alleged hate speech after talking about the Biblical definition of marriage - that marriage is between a man and a woman. “It’s a grotesque situation,” Mr O’Neill told Sky News host Andrew Bolt. “He was just reading from the Bible; he was citing the Bible’s definition … some people reported him for hate speech and then he was arrested in a pretty violent way. “This is a vile assault on freedom of religion and a vile assault on freedom of speech.”

There is nothing 'free' about misinformation called opinion commercially commodified packaged as news given a privileged platform on which to sell it. Muslims, Jews, and countless Christian sects decry marriage as being anything other than between a man and a woman and they aren't arrested. It's against the law but not an arrestable-offence. There are many things that are and you don't get arrested for them. So this seems little more than an excercise in selling a fake product like Peter Foster Australia's famous con man was jailed for just that. Why is Bolt allowed to profit from selling crap? After all it's not "free" and shouldn't be treated as such.

 How White Nationalists Are Inspired by the Bosnia Genocide

Why those against multiculturalism and for an Ethno-State inspire the worst of humanity and hate. Right -wingpromotors of disinformation and fake news are triggers for domestic terror. They cried "Who let them in" in Bosnia too. (ODT)


When Yugoslavia began to violently be carved into competing ethnic-states, there remained many people, including Serbs, Croats, Muslims, and Slovenes, who refused to go along with the new sectarian reality. Some of them, in fact, continued to call themselves Yugoslavs: citizens of a multicultural society that would soon cease to exist. What many who remembered the time before the war will tell you is that they never imagined that such a thing could happen in their country. Yugoslavia was a modern country that, by most appearances, had left the past behind. In 1984, the city of Sarajevo was the home of the Winter Olympics. Less than a decade later, it was under the worst military siege Europe had witnessed since Stalingrad.
During the final years of Yugoslavia, when the system was beginning to crack, nationalist leaders kept insisting against all evidence that things would be better than ever if the people would only let them push their rightwing agenda through. Even with a demagogic and incompetent leader, the United States is still likely more resilient than Yugoslavia was at any point in its history. But the xenophobia, hubris, and ignorance being loudly trumpeted in the United States strikes a familiar note to people like Djurić. It’s what happened to his society, after all, right before it collapsed.
“When you put so much effort into building a glorious narrative built on lies and half-truths, at some point you run out of new stories to feed it with,” Djurić said. Outside the windows, the evening light in Belgrade began to darken. “Then you go back to war.”

 Lets cut to the chase Andrew bolt call Dr Peter Ridd A Marine Science Expert when he's not and even peter Ridd doesn't call himself that. Ridd is little more than a sceptic and denier of Marine Science as practised by the foremost experts in the field with a tad more understanding about method than Bolt has. His job is to use that slim association he has as a scientist to throw doubt on the real research being done by real Marine biologists studying the reef. Andrew Bolt's job is to amplify Ridd's ignorance for the benefit of vested interests like the IPA, The Cane Growers Assoc, Mining Companies like Adani and others who may be affected by any increase in policies to protect the Great Barrier Reef. 
Ridd response is no wiser than Andrew Bolt's to the latest Reef Report that indicates the Great Barrier Reef's decline has gone from poor to even very poor while Ridd stands back yelling it hasn't without any research just the sound of Kaching in his bank account. 
No doubt Ridd is an expert on NASA's Report on the changes to Greenland's glaciers too because sure as hell Andrew Bolt does.

"Adjunct Professor at the University of Technology, Sydney. He is certain that I should be banned by my bosses, although he's clearly totally ignorant of where I work and what I do - and, I suspect, of what I actually say. Some academic.  " Bolt 

 No Andrew Bolt we are aware where you work and what you do for profit. However, we are also aware that because of that you are little more than the organ grinder's monkey and you won't be released. However, we are also aware you believe the organ grinder is tethered to your collar. However, the career path you took you didn't choose for principles but simply for the nuts.  You abandoned reason and education simply because it's the way you were socialized and at a very young age you were socialized, trained very much in isolation by a mum who really never felt or wanted you to be a pioneer Aussie migrant kid who grasped the reigns and looked forward but she kept you looking to the past.
 As a Dutch mum, who so missed home, she realized that your future wasn't the one she was deprived of where class was a barrier. Your future here with a focused eye was far more liquid and merit not necessary. You were taught to be different aloof, polite yes but have the abitions of a Dorian Grey, the ambition of association would take you further than merit after all you were European and the myths associated with that, why?
She realised her son wasn't going to progress because of gifts of natural intelligence but by a mask an ability for non productive social climbing. You were the eldest and as such the most isolated and your mum realised you didn't have the time or intelligence for the meritocratic road your brother sister took. Nobody ever said your mum was dumb but she also didn't arrive here enchanted by the place and never was. Back in the Netherlands she also learned merit was second to image , the skills needed to climb the social ladder and gain status. Her first son's skills were better served by "marrying up" and realizing the social mobility the European way "who you know had far more currency that what you knew". So yes to imagine Andrew Bolt analyse what he says understand why he says these things follow his history and then you may or may not have reason and logic to hate, without just s kneejerk reaction.
Bolt, on the other hand, hates Tom Osborn, Waleed Aly, and probably his own brother deep down for no reason other than they have the ability to know and understand him but the reverse for Bolt is nigh on impossible. He simply hasn't the ability to empathize only to mimic those he wants and needs to impress. Like a used car sales man.
So Bolt's right we do need to know who he works for and what are their motives Rupert Murdoch, Tony Abbott, Michael Kroger etc etc etc and then what you find is what you see the organ grinder's monkey who hoped if Abbott had succeeded he might have been awarded a knighthood for his loyalty but not for his media skills. So yes it's easy to imagine Bolt and hate because he represents the lowest of human achievement his sub text is always "me" never "we" which has always been his disguise.

 

VAN ONSELEN MOCKS GAY-MARRIAGE ARGUMENT, ONLY TO CONFIRM IT

Peter van Onselen mocks the "slippery slope" warning of gay-marriage critics: "The slippery slope was used by opponents of slavery... Next thing you know blacks will demand voting rights." But he  actually confirms there is a slippery slope - once a principle is conceded, much logically follows. In this case, great. But here's what Peter ignored.

  What we have here is a total PAYWALL. How can you comment? "slippery slope is the clue". 

The ads for "no" by the ACL are repeats of ads that date back to 2004 raised in Massachusets when the marriage equality was voted on. that battle started 15 years ago and the slippery slope was also brought up. Sociological longitudinal studies have shown children from families ofsame sex couples in fact performed better than those of heterosexual couples in every way. Largely because the adults were more committed better educated and had jobs at a higher income level. The families were better at sharing and deciding the goals they wanted to achieve on all levels producing better outcomes. Colombia University also studied 79 research reports and found 97% peer reviewed papers found much the same results. So the only thing Bolt ignores is the social sientific data that proves he's opinions flow down from the top of Bullshit Mountain.

$60 BILLION OF WARMIST WASTE

What a colossal waste - and to think that simply building the reactors would have given us more reliable power, too: "Taxpayers will have paid more than $60 billion through federal renewable energy subsidies by 2030, … enough to build about 10 large nuclear reactors."

And have those plants completed some time in the 2070s and beyond. Bolt sounds so certain for that price look what Tony Abbott delivered with the NBN. If you want the speeds promised by Abbott you have to pay. Sounds like Trumps Wall and the promise Mexico will pay.

The question how else is the money earn't if you take out those who don't fit into uniforms.  We paid for what we sowed the posturing seems obvious $$$$

SOME "ONGOING GENOCIDE", DAN

Singer Dan Sultan: "We should recognise the 26th of January for what it is - which is a day that started the ongoing genocide of our people.” What "ongoing genocide?": "The number of Aboriginal Australians living in NSW and Victoria has doubled since 2001, figures released by the Bureau of Statistics show."

Genocide Andrew Bolt can take many forms and one is Bolt demanding Aboriginal Cultures and languages be let go Bolt simplistic distortion is numbers. Which on any other day has found him arguing that the majority of Aborigines are so racially mixed that he in fact is more indigenous than most. So if we took Bolt's definition into account genocide has taken place and numbers haven't grown as he says they have. The stolen generations were very much an act of on going cultural genocide more so when we here Bolt's version that no such thing ever happened. Bolt sounds and presents facts much the same way as a Holocaust denier. If you use his template of proof the Nazis never attempted genocide either. Aalsmeer the town from where his family came from has nothing to feel sorry about the Jews are liars as much as Dan Sultan is says Bolt to the sound of his heels clicking. There are more Jews in the world today. 

 Gate crashing the Alfalfa Club wit Murdoch and photographer

$6 MILLION OF DUAL LOYALTY

Our politicians can't have dual citizenship with New Zealand but can accept millions from China?: "Australia's two major political parties have received almost $6 million from a shadowy “front” for the Chinese Government ... the Australian Council for the Promotion of the Peaceful Reunification of China." Disgusting. Frightening. 

It's insidious isn't it Rupert Murdoch paid for Tony Abbott's expenses at the Alfalfa Club and paid for a photoshoot to be done on the sly to present Tony in the Telegraph as a much missed and wanted statesman. what would that have been valued at in  Party donation terms. Bolt calls the Chinese Australian organizations "a front". What would you call the IPA? A Murdoch "front" after all he was a foundation member he's American and he continues to help the conservatives out where ever and whenever he can. Why isn't that "Disgusting and Frightening". I think it's more so because Murdoch is far far more covert and hiding in plain sight and he's not an Australian. It wasn't that long ago he was married to a Chinese and was as up close and personal as you could get with the regime. $ 6 million is chump change when one looks at the biased freebies  that have been given to Tony Abbott.
