Bolt never misses a moment to self promote as no one goes ot of their way.
" As a boy on the Eyre Peninsula I felt a bit marooned, culturally speaking."
Bolt the son of migrants and the culturally isolated boy above is nowhere as generous with the current batch of migrants to arrive in Australia or even the children of those migrants which he doesn't approve of. He's only too happy to keep them culturally isolated.
He's even ungenerous to indigenous Australians. He had an aboriginal mate once which he likes to tell us but never really ever says what happened to him or whether he's still a mate. Was he better off for knowing Bolt. How does he remember and what does he think of the man we know today?
Long blogs generally mean distortion cover up and deflection by Bolt to continue his anti -Islamic tirade in order to continue to promote Islamophobia and and divide Australia. The fact is The German police have not arrested any of the "1000s " of Muslim molesters Bolt tells us of. In a world of CCTV and mobile phones one would think thousands of faces would be readily identified. They have also said that there is no evidence to suggest they are refugees or Asylum seekers. 1million refugees who according to Bolt are single young men don't seem to have caused the chaos across the EU but only specific to a few cities. If it were wide spread then a case might be argued but it seems too constructed to be believed. Something the extreme right wing anti- Islamic groups would be too happy to promote. It might explain Bolt's marathon blog as well.
How is it Bolt never turns to the history of why we are faced with the current situation in the Middle East and Israels involvement in it. That it was always in Israel's interest to destroy the Secular Arabic States After all Israel was surrounded by Syria, Iraq, Egypt, Lebanon and Libya. All governed by dictators that had access to resources the West relied on. Resources that paid for organized armed forces, health, education and jobs for it's people. Israel was and is far happier with the tribal anarchy we see today than it was with a united Pan Arabic Front. Today all services are buried under the rubble of Western interference and invasion that left millions dead and displaced.
Since the 80s and 90s the destruction of Iraq,Syria and Libya were talked of and fundamentalist rebel groups were encouraged and sponsored by the Conservatives as they are still today. In fact Israel today is the de facto air force for Al Nusra Front and others we call readily call terrorists.
The only "untrustworthy" thing Obama has done is acted in accordance with the facts and stopped the Republican lies that we were being sold by Bush. Even Murdoch has a large oil investment in Syria's Golan heights occupied illegally by Israel. Genie Oil is operating under Israeli protection in Syria in illegally occupied Syrian territory. So how can you expect any truth from Bolt?
Bolt is back simply running advertorials for Murdoch media the no news center of Australian print media.
Somehow Andrew Bolt links the actions to a few union officials to the inability of the current government to govern not because it has a spending problem but because it has a falling revenue problem. A revenue problem based on the fact that our largest Corporations and businesses have had a long term governance problem based on a philosophy of criminality by fraud and one that insists on tax avoidance. The weakness of the government has been to prosecute. Business supports a whole industry of accounting, law firms and politicians for just that purpose.
It allowed Dick Smiths to promote and sell Australians Xmas gift cards that will never be redeemed. Cards whose face value is in fact worthless and always was. Smiths isn't the only corporation that issues unfulfilled promises VW is just another. These fraudulent business promises are as hollow as those that Wall st bankers made when selling sub prime mortgages backed with AAA ratings by paid agencies who knew they were worthless. That caused the GFC crash in 2008 and when push came to shove only one broker was prosecuted.
The financial restructuring that Bolt is talking about is not one that Australian Labour and families need to pay for but that the business class needs to address for money outstanding. Those who fail to do so need to be taken to task far more urgently than the unions and Australian workers. However the opposite is happening and the average Joe worker is yet again in the line of fire to bail Australian business out cuttin penalty rates just one example.

When Consolidation of Corporate Media denies us news. It's news that

journalists become obsolete what passes for news is little more than
distraction.
There's no defence for Chris Gayle's behaviour during a sideline
interview, but he's nevertheless correct that this has been blown out of
proportion. This thirst for blood is doing us no favours.
