A new survey found that most people in Australia vastly underestimate this country's wealth inequality.

The truth is, the top 10% of households now have more wealth than the bottom 90% put 👏 together. 👏

We need a government that will help put an end to this grave unfairness.

Why do LNP ads seem like Hansons One Nations and Clive Palmer's? FEAR CAMPAIGNING is the LNP, and the Right's historical tactic remember Howard. " Children overboard which was later ramped up by TONY ABBOTT'S ISLAMOPHOBIA. They know no better way when it comes to politics. Howard had us invade Iraq on a lie and helped create ISIS. They created Islamophobia and went on to bomb the Middle East on the lie to keep us safe, and News Corp helped them all the way to Christchurch with their "who let them in"war cry. In the meantime, the ALP in opposition has been working on a comprehensive line of policies to help solve real issues of Health Education and Energy. Wake up Australia!! (ODT)

WHAT CHRISTIANS? WHY THE LEFT CHOKES ON DESCRIBING THE EASTER BOMBINGS

COLUMN Politicians of the Left had no trouble saying last month’s attack in Christchurch was an attack on Muslims. But they have lots of trouble saying the attack on Sri Lankan churches on Easter Sunday was an attack on Christians. Is there clearer evidence of the Left’s fear of offending Muslims and its refusal to admit there’s a war against Christians?

Andrew Bolt proves himself to be a bullying moron. The Commentator, not journalist, Andrew Bolt claims he's an Indigenous Australian attacked Robert di Natale on national TV for what "he didn't say" not for what he did and embarrassed himself nationally. Bolt cherry-picked examples from around the world and accused Di Natale of being anti-Christian because he didn't mention them. Bolt was frothing at the mouth accusing Di Natale of pro-Muslim bias over Christians for Christchurch and here is Bolt again accusing the "left".

" Politicians of the Left had no trouble saying last month’s attack on two Christchurch mosques was an attack on Muslims.
But they have lots of trouble saying the attack on three Sri Lankan churches on Easter Sunday was an attack on Christians.
Is there clearer evidence of the Left’s fear of offending Muslims and its dishonest refusal to admit there’s a war against Christians?"

 We don't have to say "we are with the Christian community" Andrew Bolt if we are Christians. Christian leaders aren't saying it Muslims however are. Buddhists are saying it and atheists. Politicians around the world are saying it you twit. We are all saying and feeling it for all those killed. You are noted however for justifying praising and lauding the deaths of  200 + people 40 children 29,000 injured and 300 amputees caused by the IDF at long range by Israel in Gaza.

What Bolt is failing to remind us of distract us from is that Sky News ran live footage of the massacre in Christchurch for 17 minutes provoking Muslim extremists to promise retaliation and revenge. What Bolt deflects us from is that his Herald Sun had nearly 3000 anti- Muslim articles in 2018 and Andrew Bolt was a leading author and broadcaster of Muslim hate speech in the country. That he called on Christians to fight back after the Barcelona bombings. He openly, like ISIS media, was a powerful media enabler and provocateur of WAR.

As Waleed Aly and most reasoned Australians can see, the violence and terrorism we are currently witnessing are assisted by Andrew Bolt and his ilk of right-wing Nationalist Islamophobic jocks stirring up both sides, no matter which, to fight and as Bolt said after Barcelona with the conviction of the Muslim terrorists. Why are the AFP, ASIO, National Security and government allowing maniacs like Bolt to divide us in the name of religion?

Unfortunately, Sri Lanka after decades of Civil war has access to arms readily available for an action like this, and fortunately, Australia hasn't. It has however with regret idiots like Andrew Bolt.

ANZAC DAY'S HATERS BACK OFF. THE THREAT IS TOO REAL

COLUMN This Anzac Day feels different — more fragile, more needed. Is that why for the first time in years, I don’t hear it being trashed? Is the fear of losing it, and the fear of real attacks on it by terrorists, finally shaming the critics into silence? 

44m
The original ANZACs were victims of a Colonial Monarchy that called for them to be cannon fodder at Gallipoli and Tobruk. In battles, the British politicians knew would result in massive losses, so they called for the colonials to suffer instead. They would occupy and distract the enemy. The real meaning of ANZAC DAY betrayal has been covered in a Historical Myth.
We don't hear Bolt glorifying Korea Vietnam Afghanistan or Iraq, do we? He's happy to leave those vets languishing many broken men who his Conservative governments couldn't give a damn about. He denies the fact that Indigenous Australians who fought for this country came home to find their children taken away and they couldn't get them back. That they weren't allowed to drink in pubs next to the white men they fought shoulder to shoulder with. They were refused loans by banks to buy houses and were only offered jobs if they accepted unequal pay. So much for the reality of the ANZACS  during and after the war. Does Bolt ever mention the Muslims that fought for this country no not at all? He does, however, bellow "Who Let Them In."

 What Bolt doesn't reveal

Telling the forgotten stories of Indigenous servicemen in the first world war

Chinese Anzacs still fighting for recognition decades after being lost in history

 The Germans memory to war isn't a fantasy nor a myth, and they too don't want to forget. What is the war memorial in Bolt's heritage city of Aalsmeer truth or myth?

Holocaust museum Berlin they never want to forget the horror that took over their reality. It's taught in primary school.

 

Aalsmeer wall memorial to the war looks as if they seem to want to forget and Bolt never talks about it or what happened in his heritage city he loves so much.  However, Andrew Bolt is someone that seems to want to forget and even deny anything that doesn't fit into his mythical world and he's been chasing and protecting that place all of his life in a state of self-denial. ANZAC brings tears to his eyes BS he has absolutely no connection to the ANZACs.

SMEARS AND DECEITS: HOW ROTTEN IS GETUP?

GetUp, led by Paul Oosting, is not the most malignant force in Australian politics, in my opinion. Oosting claims to want a more "fair" and "just" Australia, but check its disgusting smears and falsehoods to defeat Tony Abbott and Josh Frydenberg and help "independent" Zali Steggall. My editorial from The Bolt Report. 

2m
King Smear Bolt using his all Australian presence to smear women Australians Julia Banks, Yassmin Abdel Magied, Clementine Ford and countless others for what? They dared reveal the truth and speak out. Bolt not only smeared individuals he smeared whole communities with racist banter he should be ashamed of. He and his son James tarred and mocked the women of Melbournes South Sudanese Community on Radio for having a Beauty Contest now that's more than Rotten it's disgusting and un-Australian. Guess their mob would be up for some Aboriginal jokes too.
Glass houses Bolt, Glass Houses Bolt look at Advance Australia's video and Sir Maurice Newman's sexualised video of Captain Get Up reminding us just what Abbott used to do when he began in politics.
Let's look at lies what was Abbott laughing at during boom gate and why was Scott Morrison looking so squeamish about? Bolt conveniently doesn't say. As for Atoll's growing Professor, Kench qualified his results by saying they were based on figures from the past fifty years and in no way predicted the next fifty given the rate at which the seas were rising were accelerating. That's something else. Bolt fails to tell his audience.
As for Paul Oosting being and Get Up being organisationally biased, it shows he isn't when you compare him to Advance Australia and Captain GetUp. That's something else Bolt would rather keep hidden

The mystery of Advance Australia, Captain GetUp and the AEC

The public face of AA, apart from costumed buffoon Captain GetUp, is Gerard Effrem Benedet. You might remember Gerard from such marvellous events as the collapse of Careers Australia, which folded in 2017 leaving a $150 million damage bill plus a lot of eager students — young Australians keen to get ahead, ripped off, stranded and disillusioned. Others were just plain duped. He went on to become chief of staff to Queensland LNP leader Tim Nicholls. Presumably, once there Gerard got an inside view of how the LNP does things:

AA is, allegedly, steered by a so-called "Advisory Council".
The organisation’s web site makes no mention of what this council actually does, but lists its members and their credentials as:

• Dr David Adler, former deputy medical secretary of the Australian Medical Association;
• Maurice L Newman former chairman of Deutsche Bank Australia, the Australian Securities Exchange and the Australian Broadcasting Corporation;
• Kerry Wakefield operates the blog, Tip of the Spear, and is the wife of former Coalition minister Nick Minchin; and, last but not least,
• Kennards Self Storage CEO Sam Kennard.

NAMED: SUICIDE BOMBER WHO STUDIED IN AUSTRALIA

 Named, and our security agencies will surely check his contacts: "One of the masterminds behind the Sri Lanka suicide bombings lived in London and spent a year at Kingston University on an aerospace engineering course...  Abdul Lathief Jameel Mohamed, spent a year at the university... before travelling to Melbourne... for a postgraduate course."

PAYWALL

 A sensationalist banner to sell subscriptions. Will our security agencies be checking out the message Andrew Bolt was putting out to Australians about Muslims, Islam and how evil they in fact were and the news that Australia was at war with Islam? Did Abdul Mahommed see and feel the rise of the UPF, Reclaim Australia and the attack against the building of  Mosques while here?
He certainly saw the 17 minute Sky News broadcast of the Australian shooter killing innocents in the Mosques in Christchurch. Did he read that Western-backed forces killed more Afghani citizens than the enemy? They killed even more citizens than they did Taliban and more than the Taliban have.
Did he hear and read Andrew Bolt telling Christians to stop being cowards and fight back with the conviction terrorists showed in their beliefs? Now, what radicalised this man was it ISIS media or was it the sound and writings of commentators like Andrew Bolt who really are the equivalent of ISIS media recruiters when it comes to hate-speech.

I SOLD MYSELF SHORT. NOW ABC AUTHORS WILL BE CROSSER

Oops. I sold myself short when likening the sales of my latest book of columns to those of the the Melbourne University Press coterie of authors, many from  the ABC and cultural Left. I said Worth Fighting For  had sold between 20,000 and 27,000, from memory, but my publisher says it's closer to 34,000. Which makes MUP's sales look even sicker.

"I said Worth Fighting For had sold between 20,000 and 27,000, from memory, but my publisher says it's closer to 34,000. Which makes MUP's sales look even sicker." Bolt

Nothing has changed Bolt shown his ego or paranoia on which this post seems to be built has in fact increased in a few days given he's had to repeat himself. It seems he's not really convinced of his own math or myth, so he's reporting a new growth. It still represents someone with 3.5 million ++ trumpets or 66% of print media owned by Rupert along with Sky 2GB and internet promotion with a less than a 1% sales result which would in any commercial terms be regarded as a gross failure rather than a win unless you were Trump.
 With that amount of power and spread of advertising compared with those, he's crowing over in the ABC Bolt's actually an immense failure in any way you look at it. Bolt is little more than a camp follower an opportunist not an author following and trying to capture some crumbs in the shadow of the gargantuan News Corp which isn't an achievement. Yes, it shows Bolt has little self-regard for anything other than a few cents and a negative self-regard.

Top spy boss criticises the Australian for misrepresenting Asio advice | Australia news | The Guardian

Peter Dutton's Mouth piece when things get too hot defending Murdoch Media. Dutton made reference to ASIO advice on 2GB and the ABC and said he had evidence which he wouldn't show unless push came to shove. We can be certain that evidence won't be forthcoming. (ODT)

The home affairs department secretary, Michael Pezzullo, defended the Australian by noting that although the headline had characterised it as “Asio advice” the body of the article described it as a “briefing from the department of home affairs, based on advice from Asio and Australian Border Force”.
“If you read down the column it was transparently apparent it was from the department and drew on, in part, advice from Asio.”

Win for GetUp! after Electoral Commission ruling

The decision will infuriate conservatives who have argued the activist group should be affiliated with Left parties

The Australian Electoral Commission has declared activist group GetUp! is not associated with any political party, defying conservatives who argued it should be treated as an arm of Labor and the Greens.
The commission found GetUp!'s campaigns were primarily issue-based rather than linked to a particular party, and that its conduct on polling booths urging a vote for Labor or the Greens did not constitute a significant part of its overall activities.

 Bolt's PAYWALL post for Mate ROWAN DEAN GENIUS

Rowan Dean  Bolt's mate on Sky News, and editor of The Spectator spells as well as Andrew Bolt who accepted this. Two professionals who think they are god's of media
[Phelps] wants us to believe doctorsare saints in while coats, never acting except out of altruism, never allowinge go or ideology to influence their godlike judgment. Dean

" Salvatore Barbones, an associate professor at Sydney University, which during down a Western Civilisation course funded by the Ramsay Foundation": Bolt What does this mean and Bolts talking "education."
Guess the practices of Colonialism a core ingredient of Western Civilisation which "policed" free speech in their Colonies won't be up for discussion. Colonial Rule wasn't civilising; it was rule by the gun, slave trading, and a lot worse. Maybe that's why we saw the American war of Independance after which German was given consideration as the National language. Imagine the difference that would have made that was a multicultural decision.

SHORTEN LEARNS NOT TO BELIEVE PHELPS-BANKS BULL

Labor leader Bill Shorten decided to weaken our border laws with the help of three independents - women touted by the media as more Liberal than those Right-win Morrison Liberals. Turns out the polls show that Kerryn Phelps, Julia Banks and Rebekkah Sharkie aren't so Liberal, after all. My editorial from The Bolt Report. 

 Not a word by Bolt on the ASIO declaration that The Australian, Sky News and Duttons efforts were a total misrepresentation of the advice given to Shorten and which amounted to BS on all Parties. So much so the Secretary of Dutton's Dept was left to try to smooth things over for Dutton make the Australian look a victim of the bull and try to declare that they are an honourable media outlet. What Shorten has discovered is that The Australian ans Sky after dark are a coordinated propaganda machine that even when caught out in their lie keep going.
Bolt was named Sonia Kruger's enabler in her defence of vilification in which she was found guilty. Bolt simply ignored it and threw her under the bus. All this is typical and shows the lack of integrity these people share.
Dutton and other  MPs have used ASIO, the ABF in much the same way knowing full well these agencies can't respond in a single news cycle but must do so through a process that can take weeks. It seems Dutton has taken advantage of this more than once. The case of the refugee footballers arrest in Thailand was strenously denied by Morrison and Dutton as being Australia's fault. Weeks later the AFP have admitted it was their error. We have an extremely incompetant government in reality.
Currently they have told Trump the refugee transfer of asylum seekers to the USA is  not a problem as all have been vetted. Today they are telling us they haven't a clue who they are and haven't known for over 5 years. Is the Ipsos poll really a result of fakery it sure looks like it and there's more to come.

WASHINGTON POST EXPLAINS ITS NEED FOR FAKE NEWS LIKE SMOLLETT

The Washington Post's Nanna Efua Mumford's  damning explanation for believing Jussie Smollett's fake story of being attacked by Trump supporters: "If Smollett’s story is found to be untrue, it ... would be touted as proof that there is a leftist conspiracy to cast Trump supporters as violent, murderous racists.. I need this story to be true."

12m

Note Bolt refers to Smollet's story as "fake" yet  the link he's refering us to starts with "if". The reality is overlooked no one persons story is sufficient to prove whether racism is a fact or not it's the history and totality of the trends in the behaviour and culture shared by all of us over time that gives definition to racism and the degree to which reflects our institutions. The fact that Andrew Bolt hopes it's fake or that he hides his any doubt in his certainty that a liberal would hate it to be a fake reflects only one and only one thing that he is a racist he believes Smollet is guilty and his and  racism in America and among Trumpsters is a myth in fact they are victims of reverse racism which is currently the dominant culture in America which whites are forced to suffer along with Climate Change

Bolt deflects the whole reality how by a single writers doubt the doubt he can't stand that currently divides the Liberal Party dominated by moderates who blink. Bolt never blinks even when caught out lying if caught he goes Trump and calls everyone "fake". Judge Mordecai Bromberg becomes a fake Judge as does Judge Preston. Doctors are Fake  along with the ABC etc that's why Bolt's so trusted.

WALEED ALY

Political theatre only works where the audience suspends its disbelief.
  That the initial complaint came from the government itself, and was directed at the leader of its main political rival makes this an instantly political act. 
 if there's wrongdoing here, it doesn't quite seem to match the muscular imagery of the raid – imagery at least one Liberal Party staffer was keen to ensure would be broadcast to the world. And imagery that allows Malcolm Turnbull to intone gravely: "Bill Shorten has questions to answer."
Questions to answer. What a phrase that has turned out to be in Australian politics. You might remember the last time it was invoked: when Tony Abbott was hounding Julia Gillard over her dealings with the AWU back in the 1990s.

 The AWU raid was clearly a political act

PRINCIPLE, NOT THE SIDE: THIS USE OF STATE POWER IS WRONG

Yesterday I accused the Liberals of a disturbing pattern of using state power in office to persecute Labor leaders, including Bill Shorten. A common criticism of my piece: I wouldn't have said that if Tony Abbott was Prime Minister. In fact, I did, in 2014, criticising his royal commission into Kevin Rudd's "free" insulation disaster. Read it here.

Unbelievable. The Government in chaos. Two cabinet ministers kicked out of Parliament by the High Court. Another Minister misleading parliament. Yet Malcolm Turnbull in a brief press conference answers just one question from reporters before fleeing. And someone please tell me he really isn't going ahead today with his trip to Israel.

  No link this is exclusively Bolt's opinion.

Turnbull fromally delayed his trip to Israel Shorten is going as scheduled it would seem Andrew Bolt has confused the two and not by any accident. Attacking Turnbull is his sport and no the government isn't in crsis if it were why is Shorten going to Israel?Bolt seems to be doing Shorten's job for him.

TURNBULL MUST GO NEXT MONTH

The Liberals say sacking Malcolm Turnbull would just make things worse.  Worse than the past month? Worse than an electricity scheme that won't cut prices for a decade, a botched police raid on Bill Shorten's old union offices, and a citizenship debacle Turnbull claimed wouldn't happen? He must go next month to give a new leader any chance.
