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.
The Mocker calls out the hypocrisy of Peter FitzSimons: "Peter: you go the full Voltaire when a Muslim athlete on national television condones a terrorist atrocity in the name of religion. You stay silent when the same man suggests homosexuals should be executed. But if a Christian athlete so much as sends a tweet opposing same sex marriage..."
PAYWALL Firstly let it be said Bolt doesn't reveal himself or the Mundine concerned so ultimately it's a post phishing for subs. Israel Filou made a public statement that deserved a public response from a fellow Christian. I'm certain if Filou were Muslim he to would deserve a response from a fellow Muslim. However the hypothetical posed here is sympathy for terror anothe question all together. Without access to the rest of the story you have to pay to read Bolt leaves a vacuum. A senationalist post by an air head that has said nothing and apologies to both Mundine and Fitzsimons for being Bolt's tools for Murdoch.
Andrew Bolt and his son James not so long ago did an IPA podcast that mocked and disparaged the South Sudanese Community in Dandenong who sponsored Sudanese a beauty contest. Boy did Bolt James and another young man from the IPA make a feast of it. The three got their jollies and personal rocks off laughing at the expense of this community for even running such an event. There they were three middle-class white trash sounding however like spoilt fat arsed public schoolboys racists sponsored by the IPA who gave them their platform.The platform to make their nigga comments and not even joking just amusing themselves in public. They all revealed their Dorian Gray souls that day and what the IPA stands for
Now here is Bolt doing much the same thing with Rowan Dean on News Corp's platform Sky News. Dean is editor of the almost financially bankrupt conservative mag Spectator having a go at the young Muslim Aussie Yassmin Abdel Magied. Bolt's again seen rocking with laughter at Rowan Dean's attempted but failed satire attacking the ABC at Yassmin's expense. What we have this time is two middleaged white media men fearful of their loss of privileged attention due to a young, 28-year-old Sudanese female engineer and author who happens to believe in Islam and is not Ms Cousens. Yassmin wants to reduce the Islamophobia promoted by these two ethnocentric racist clowns.
Magied in her short working life has earned this country more export dollars than either of these two dimwits have in their entire working lives.
Unlike the ABC Bolt and Dean are an embarrassing use of Australian taxpayer money. They are in fact the Bolt Report is a worthless 30% tax deduction for News Corp money taken out of productive Australian pockets which otherwise could have been better spent than trickled into their pockets. They might be would be clowns but Bolt is the only one laughing and not convincingly either.
Dean the unmade bed is a diletante publisher who once was a sales marketer, an account exec, copywriter for some advertising agency that might well have sold used cars. He apparently learnt his craft baiting Campbell Newman at school. However, he's simply Bolt's gun for hire doing what Bolt is incapable of satirical hate-speech. When they were kids, teenagers they probably watched I Dream of Jeanie the comedy about the Hijab wearing Barbara Eden and got their teenage rocks off then too, but other ways. These two are quality-less caricatures of fat-arsed white public schoolboy bullies spitting in Australia's face and getting paid for it by News Corp. They are trying to mimic what Fox News does on a daily basis and gets Trump twittering but here they only rate high off what Bolt admits is a very small base and are the least trusted media source in the country.
" As much as Tony Abbott and the others among his small rump of mostly bitter and twisted ex-ministerial malcontents are now keen to wallow in Malcolm Turnbull’s demise after his 30th Newspoll loss, they simply cannot deny the significance of their contribution to that demise. They have shown an appalling lack of maturity, treating voters with contempt.While they attempt to dress up their activities in some cloak of respectability, using policy tags like “conservatism”, or exploiting the standing and credibility of a Monash, it is simply grossly irresponsible disloyalty and disunity, driven by personal, not national, ambition. They should know better. The voters certainly see through it – as self-absorbed point scoring – resulting in poor government, to their detriment." John Hewson a good read
In response, what's the sound of a one-handed clap? I don't know? I suspect it's much the same sound when Andrew Bolt opens his mouth. He tries to mock Hewson's extremely readable comments while trying to boost the unboostable Abbott at Hewson's expense. It's a one-handed clap because sure as hell Abbott has nothing to offer these days. Hewson suggests Turnbull employ him as his bovver boy, his only talent since his student days.
Recently Abbott's policy suggestions have even been the very opposite of what he signed Australia up for on Climate, Immigration and Infrastructure when he was PM in 2013. He's turned against his own legacy more than Turnbull and can't be trusted. Bolt can't boost Abbott directly anymore because he's simply road kill. So Bolt has been trying to do it with smoke an mirrors and barking like a pit bull at any unfriendly. Abbott is his Pythonesque dead parrot but refuses to accept it.
10m No Andrew Bolt Peter Dutton said he was 100% behind the current Turnbull figures for immigration. Don't be such a bullshit artist. Repeating this crap will not make it fact. What is a fact, however, Bolt is using Dutton to boost Abbot but he's such dead weight nobody can lift him? Bolt is constantly pointing out Dutton is Abbott's sock puppet.
How is it Bolt highlights Ted Cruz's suggestion that FB is biased while working for Murdoch and his stables Fox News, and Sky News globally? Is Bolt the free-speech crusader calling for the regulation of FB? Is he suggesting the staunch Republican Cruz is doing it or just crying crocodile tears? At least FB harvests data. Fox and Sky are commentary platforms that intentionally avoid data altogether for propaganda. They, in turn, are less trusted than FaceBook, in fact, are the least trusted news platforms in the US. Andrew Bolt moderates his blogs and cut's 90% of comments that disagree with him out. At least Zuckerberg admits he personally can't audit all the selective cases Cruz mentions, or the cases he selectively doesn't out of the billions that are posted. Bolt, on the other hand, is totally one-sided has denied his comment boxes are moderated so he can hardly criticize FB and call it a scandal.
24m Andrew Bolt calls social media like Twitter and FB a sewer yet he's fully ensconced in and directs people to his island in the shit. Is there any such place in a sewer particularly when shit concentrates in Bolt's Space. As for Anarchism; The etymology of the term traces back to the Greek word “anarkhia”, which means “without rulers” or “without authority”. It stands for the absence of domination, hierarchy and power over others. Anarchism is a process whereby authority and domination are being replaced with non-hierarchical, horizontal structures, with voluntary associations between human beings. It is a form of social organisation with a set of key principles, such as self-organisation, voluntary association, freedom, autonomy, solidarity, direct democracy, egalitarianism and mutual aid. It is a utopian project that aspires to combine the best parts of liberalism with the best parts of communism.
So basically it's Andrew Bolt's ideology of free individualism with real equality added.
As for Abbott's "Politeness" well that's a dressing often hiding a greater brutality beneath. Slave owners were well-dressed gentlemen. As are people like Bolt media bashing the poor doing to them what Abbott did with Peter Slipper. So yes Abbott got nothing as good as he has given out and got away with sometimes calling in the heavyweights of the Catholic Church to be his character witnesses in court.
41m3 It certainly inspired conversation form Andrew Bolt " When was the last time a Western nation sanctioned a racism so openly that it was promoted even in universities?"Bolt Bolt claims to know what universities are about but has done little more than passed through untouched. The results of his education were shared on an IPA podcast that allowed him to laugh and mock the Sudanese Beauty Contest, cackling at Yassmin being torn apart by Rowan Dean, and yes he was also wearing a suit while doing it. There is no "Reverse Racism" in this statement on the CA university wall but an invitation to a discussion about where history has brought us. No whites aren't the "New Blacks" in America just as Andrew Bolt isn't the new Indigenous Australian.
YASSMIN DEPORTED
Celebrity Muslim Yassmin Abdel-Magied has been stopped at the US border. She says she's being deported. She was going to give a talk on how hard it is to be a Muslim woman in the West. Her career should really take off now, regardless of the facts.
Can anybody glean the point Bolt isn't making here? The majority of victims don't have British names is Bolt blaming them for that? Bolt has a way with statistics and data, doesn't he? "The list of the victims - note: victims, not perpetrators - is astonishing and perhaps a clue to the real problem." Bolt
They didn't come by boat. They won't' be sent to Nauru nor will they be shot by a laughing ABF sniper like Israeli sniper and mates who shot the Palestinian 300 meters from the fence. Actions which Bolt fully supports.
Anyway, what does it mean to be a member of the Commonwealth? Had they been White South African Farmers would Dutton's message have been any different? It seems all the bonhomie stops at the border if you black and a member of the Commonwealth.
Nobody is arguing that the LNP got it wrong but how did it begin. It began with Abbott declaring we needed subs and like the MXT internet, we needed the cheapest why "for political reasons" He wasn't going to give it to Adelaide's ALP government. He just wanted a political issue. He cut $200 mill off the ABC Cut Foreign Aid and handed the Pacific to the Chinese by getting rid or radio Australia. Having done that and with the Russians sailing past he thought he had a short-term political issue. The NBN is an Abbott Legacy as was throwing the Motor Industry overboard made up for Boats, not on shore but offshore making it politically understandable why they are being built here. Bolt is suggesting a collusion of corruption in the process, not the politics. Just as Lomborg supposedly wasn't when Abbott wanted to build a world-class Climate Center on any University Campus. Or currently, his demand for 40 Coal-fired Generators nobody in the free market seems to want. PLAYING POLITICS WITH OUR CASH HAS GENERALLY ALWAYS BEEN HOWARD'S ABBOTT'S AND NOW TURNBULL'S WAY FOR ALMOST 2 DECADES
No Corbyn has a reasonable hate of Israel's Zionist Agenda and there is every reason why he should on today's evidence that Australian pro-Israel supporters avoid talking about and only the extreme right is propagandizing. The extreme right white Christians who want Australia Colonized by Christianity. However, Australians and the world's Jewish diaspora are turning their backs on Israel today. Stereotyping is fertile ground for hate but Corbyn isn't stereotyping Jews but a State and it's Fascist Jewish leaders are active participants in butchery and apartheid. YOU WON'T HEAR THIS FROM BOLT
China wasn't the first to watch the anti-China rhetoric pouring out of Australia via the Murdoch Press which was very vocal. They represent 66% of the Print media after all. Bolt was even warned there would be consequences but he was busting his chops to make Turnbull look weak and said: "he didn't care" he was all about "principle". Well, the Chinese certainly listened and will hit Australia where it hurts trade. Bolt's typical Bullies response "see I told you so not my fault" Bolt doesn't do the same for Israel, does he? 20% of its citizens are less free to do what they want than the Chinese. In fact, they are more likely to be jailed in what is an Apartheid State. Bolt says nothing but his silence says a lot. Meanwhile, the Israelis have killed 31 Ghettoed Gazans shot and wounded 1400 others are actively shooting others and are in the process of deporting asylum seekers to Uganda. Sounds very Dutton to me.
Bolt is under the impression if he continues to repeat a lie it will become truth. Only yesterday Dutton said while making a suggestion he was fully behind the PM's current policy and numbers. Keep trying Bolt keep trying. He was once in front of the news cycle when Abbott was PM. Now he just a trampoline so far behind he hardly matters. Repetition is really the realm of the no news and fake news zone. It does, however, fill space.
And here is Bolt keeping on trying and flogging that dead horse of he said, he said. How long can Bolt persist as long as he wants because we all already regard him as a fool on a fool's errand?
Bolt's such a pompous prig. He thinks he is what Wolf was talking about, "an educated man". However, he might be and still is a relic of the 30s and 40s membership of that club of men from Woolf's time. He's certainly not a member of educated men in the 21rst Century. PS: Bolt can't spell Virginia and he thinks he's an "educated Man"
21 Jul"The global warming scare is receding, even if the vast warming bureaucracy ensures it does not yet die completely. The Greens look increasingly desperate as they warn of disasters that never come."Bolt
This is the crux of what Bolt wants to say and what he repeats like an automaton the science and experts have no place in the construction of social policy. Self -interest is the key. But in his statement that the youth of today are bored with green politics and warmists are losing the political race he fails to explain why 197 countries have signed the Paris Accord, investment in green technologies is out stripping those of fossil fuels, and advanced counties along with the third world are all dumping and moving away from the old. The Greens may have been procedurally incompetent and dropped in a poll but that has little or nothing about what they stand for. The voting population of Australia has moved to Labor but not away from the demand to stop mining fossil fuels and their consequence of CO2 emissions "THEN there's di Natale. First, he lacks charisma. Second, he announced himself as a pragmatist - as much as a Greens leader can actually be pragmatic. But the Greens appeal to people who are adolescents in permanent and pensioned opposition to Daddy. They scorn responsibility and are blind to consequences. They do not wish for all that comes with ruling - other than the power to bully - which is why the Greens sharing power with the Gillard Government was so fatal. Hard-line Greens supporters do not make deals. They make demands. They are totalitarians." Bolt
In all of Bolt's feeble personality attack on the Greens and smearing their members, Bolt fails to address the systemic facts and failures the reality and hard data that the fossil fuel advocates are facing. The investment shift the global market has been ignored. The private shift made to support climate science and not by governments tied at the hip to the past fossil fuel interests looking for quid pro quo donations. Bolt and the coalition are for the Adani mine. But they don't tell you Adani has invested in and built India's biggest Solar energy plant as well. So why does he want to go ahead with the coal in Australia? He wants to develop the land and property he bought he doesn't want it to go down in value and he wants $ 1 Bill from the Australian tax payers to maintain and increase the book value of that assett. Because at the moment banks and private investors aren't interested.
Bolt never entertains that thought that he just might want the value to go up and sell it because that would be 'end of days for his argument. In the meantime, the acceleration in green investment, technology, and job creation has skyrocketed past the deniers snails and fossil zealots wanting to hang onto the past. We are already hearing the word 'transition' more and more as we are seeing more deniers, once like Bolt, falling away.
Talking about "the greens " in Australia is deflecting and ignoring the global shift in the world attitude. Even Trump said to Macron as far as the Paris Accord was concerned it still wasn't over. He knows that because US states like dominoes are signing up independently of Trump. As is the ACT and S.A. here creating their own targets.
A first year exercise in sociology testing the social boundaries of reality? It's not really a success at anything in fact quite a failure. Firstly the interviewer is not doing anything but asking stupid questions on a university campus where stupid questions are commonly asked. None of those kids interviewed felt challenged so no social boundaries were really tested. It showed however how if unchallenged just how tolerant that particularly this young generation of kids are when faced with camera and how comfortable with being interviewed.
The American Conservative reporter however labelled it the Dictatorship of Dimwits. "They are so afraid of being judgmental, and offending against the sacred
dogma of Self-Definition that they are unable to deny anything he
claims about himself."
The only dimwit is Rod Dreher who believed any one of these students was in fact terrified and he could conclude the above from this excercise
" These are actual college students. Adults who have the right to vote.
And their reason is so compromised that they are unsure what the man in
front of them is, so terrified are they of saying the wrong thing."
Apparently if one saw a black male coming out of the women's toilets and didn't immediately act like a klansman pull out a gun and shoot him he is a wimpy Liberal ready for racial takeover. The author is if a student very much a failure. The very context in which the questions were being asked precludes the getting the responses he hoped for. He has influenced his very project. The context a campus and the questions asked were academic and were treated as such and not challenging enough to show kneejerk or moral responses. I'd say he failed to get what he set out to do and hoped for. His frustration and failure is seen in his title which is simply a reflection of him and his failure. It's also very Bolt isn't it.
Yesterday Bolt was in sympathy for the two celebs. Today he's all in praise of Sarah and Bevis Blair who of course picked up the celebrity cudgel. Sarah who I have no doubt has watched everything Depp has done and Blair some, when he's not trying so hard himself to be comedic. are merely doing what tends to come naturally for Australians. That is to tear down tall poppies just for the sake of it. "Watching the most overrated and overpaid actor in modern cinema (otherwise known as Johnny Depp) swagger" Sarah. I'm sure Sarah the ageist hasn't effected Johnny Depp's income ratings or popularity one iota and Jeffery Rush our Oscar winner would tell you what a good guy.
Sarah Le Marquand makes out Barnaby Joyce extracted in some sort of extortionate move a video. It's not the case if it were then there's no separation between the law and government and there would be every reason to have Joyce stood down. Joyce just took on an Abbott like persona when he threatened to have Pistol and Boo put down. If he ha does Le Marquand think for a moment he'd have wo hearts and minds? He was very Abbott like when he claimed he had shirt fronted Depp.
All this is a load of media bull. The Depps were charged came back and got a good behavior bond. Le Marquand however has chosen to do what Kafka accused all people of doing when he wrote the Trial turn people into insects. Depp has been there before and in fact he's constantly there. Sarah is just another one of a million others to tell us who the man is. He needn't have been in that video as he wasn't even charged. In no way other than in her own imagination would the law or Joyce have forced Depp to sit with his wife. He chose to. To call it a win or lose game and one of extortion by Joyce is typical of New Corp reporting.
As for Tim Blair he was stating the obvious. Yes it was obvious Bevis what Bevis was doing and trying to be funny about it at the expense of however the LNP and Barnaby Joyce. But that's what Bevis has been doing daily ask Miranda. Depp really couldn't give a shit neither of these two slinging cheap shots even considered he was supporting his wife.
" First, a Liberal leader must unite his party and his Coalition, not try
to ram through positions that will split it. Any former Liberal leader
should know this." Bolt Abbott failed and was warned in Feb 2015
"No former Liberal leader should be in favour of expensive and useless
symbolic gestures, and especially ones that would also risk splitting
the Coalition."Bolt No no former leader did anything symbolic he sacked the CSIRO and every organization assisting the inevitable transition to renewables. Has Bolt mentioned the number of coal companies going bankrupt in this process of transition leaving taxpayers to clean up their mess?
Miranda Devine was correct when she said the likes of Andrew Bolt and Tim Blair were intent on destroying the Liberal Party their cause celebre the punishment of Malcolm Turnbull and the re-installment of Tony Abbott either before or after the election, no matter when. Why did Murdoch sneakily try to promote Abbott as a statesman but back off when caught out simple a cabal to destroy the ABC. Turnbull won't do it. So it's simply back to the drawing board how can we put Abbott back in the box short term long term it's of no consequence. Right wing antagonism division and fear serve the interests of the elite and are good for business anyway because that's where the money is.
No Peter BH Catherine McGregor who declares herself an ardent Abbott supporter actually you'd be a fool not to support Turnbull for re-election something Blair and Bolt don't say.
Bolt is Bolting = self aggrandizement "
Now, true, this is boasting" Bolt he even agrees. When there is a decline you never hear about it. There was never any Bolting about the The Bolt Report there was however a lot of apologies about why it was shifted. He even says he Bolts because nobody else does but he himself has always said he's not about crowing or winning he's about giving voice to the poor victimized conservatives out there. Does that have any sense of truth? I guess it was on Charlie Pickering's show which after all is a comedy. "it takes nice people to bother to listen."Bolt .... A lesson never learnt.
Is McCrann really going to try to convince us the banks were the victims in the GFC and that's why the Australian government had to guarantee them or more clearly we had to guarantee them from collapse? That the banks in recent times have been hit by scandals after scandals regarding conflict of interest poor financial advice in transigence. Why did a bank refuse me in the first instance $7,500 in interest lost for not following my instructions . Then 2 years later urgently get in touch and offer it in order for me to not join a class action suit against it. Here we have McCrann arguing a case for the poor banks. There was no speedy ASIC action there was slow painstakingly slow action with a correction that only minimized my loss. Go Out on the streets and ask voters from any party and see who raises their hand in sympathy for the banks. We pay the Banks for service not to be serviced and I'm not a farmer. How many cases have we seen banks serving eviction notices on farmers but suddenly backing down when the media were involved. Banks sell products and services not in the best interest of the client but in the best interest of themselves products that they don't have an arms length interest in. McCrann knows that.
Yesterday Bolt was complaining that ship building was to be done in 2 places now he seems to show sympathy that it wasn't done in 3. Sorry not sympathy but pleasure. That pleasure is contained in his banner. It does go to show just how divided by self interest the LNP is and just how much the delcons are to publicize it. "But memo to Entsch: the shipbuilding project is not a work-creation
program. It’s a program to build the best defence for the least money -
or it should be." Didn't Abbott clearly change that?
Another lie by Bolt for Bolting sake. Facebook entered a civil conversation with Tim Wilson the post was reinstated." calling for a more respectful conversation on the divisive issue.
" Just what Bolt was talking about. No he's a dog with a bone and wants to be center stage. The above banner suits that purpose.
"Same-sex marriage has become a totemic issue for people claiming to be
more tolerant. It has become the excuse for them to show a frightening
intolerance of the freedoms of others." Bolt
What a meaningless statement this is same sex marriage adherents don't in any way want to prevent traditional marriage nor do they want to police what goes on in the bedroom as is Bolt's want. Bolt truely is yesterday's a peeping Tom, a gossip monger and a living caricature of a wowser. One who never dared to be progressive just bragged about it got caught out and had to apologize." I was a body guard for a belly dancer" is the best he could do to describe himself. A fantasist.
The real scoop Paul Murry and Andrew Bolt avoided the truth
"In a similar vein, in the last 30 years, there have been 10 occasions
when the tax to GDP ratio has been below 22.0 per cent of GDP and all
10 were under a Labor Government. To put simply, the Howard government
was a high taxer, while the current Labor Government is a lower taxer."
"In
terms of government spending, there have been only five years in the
four decades leading up to 2012-13 when real government spending was cut
in real terms. None of those cuts were delivered by a Coalition
government. All five times that there has been a cut in real government
spending have been when a Labor government has framed and delivered the
budget. There were three years during the Hawke government in the late
1980s where government spending was cut in real terms and there have
been two occasions in the current Labor administration where such cuts
have occurred."
Miranda
Devine is a leftist or at least a conservative harboring leftist
thoughts why because she disagrees with Andrew Bolt. Chris Mitchell
,Paul Kelly and others that work for News Corp are sort of ok but all
have leftist tendencies . Alan Jones at 2GB is suss as well because he's
not always on side. John Faine however is left of Mao . What do we have
in common here it's certainly not left or right bias it's who agrees
or disagrees with Andrew Bolt nothing more or nothing less. If Andrew
Bolt changes his mind the whole political landscape changes. Because
Bolt's a deluded conservative his vision is so narrow that 90 % of
Australia is Left. It's why I guess the ABC has 84% support while News
Corp is the least trusted media orgaization in the country. Not trusted
by 60% of Australians.
Here is the first lie which of course Bolt sources himself as evidence. "What an absurd defence to accusations from even a former ABC Media Watch host that ABC radio is (unlawfully) biased to the Left:" Jonathon
Holmes did not say the ABC was biased he said that ABC radio always
needs to try harder not to be because you always have arseholes like
Bolt permanent fixtures saying they are.
ABC
radio nearly let a Liberal fill in who pray tell is Amanda V and of
course all the others we don't ask who do you vote for but given some
80% of the media vote labour does not mean their not professional.
After all Bolt doesn't live his life asking that question of everyone he
meets and greets. Bolt is simply an example of non professional
personal opinion in the media. In a business that once prided itself on
delivering information and news to the Australian public but has in a
private capacity merely become an agent for propaganda 2GB and News Corp
the prime examples. Let's remind ourselves that we saw Andrew Bolt on
Charlie Pickering's show a comedy platform and Bolt acted as he always
does seriously un-funny. However I guess because Charlie intended it to
come across that way and reveal just how funny Bolt actually is. Strange
Bolt didn't notice and didn't call it biased. His wife did.
Pell
the Australian hero must be dimwitted to allow himself a boss like the
Pope. But Bolt thinks of him as a genius. Can he be both, a dimwitted
genius? Bolt's obviously not thinking clearly. The Vatican an
independent country has accepted 12 legal asylum seekers and like any
nation state can. The fact that 200 people drowned isn't predicated on
what the Vatican did. It is however caused by what's happening in
Somalia that makes people so desperate to make the riskiest of decisions
to board unsafe smugglers boats. But then Bolt is against all charity
whether accepting any asylum seekers because that's what encourages more
or even the conservative economic theory of trickle down pushed by
conservatives because that to encourages more hands out. Bolt simply
believes in the law of the jungle and the survival of the fittest along
with property ownership,inheritance, social hierarchy and power
evolution not revolution because he wants his position and that of his
children kept safe. Everyone below him within and on the world's social
hierarchy are a potential threat particularly coloreds (blacks) and
Muslims but so too are the Chinese and Indians anyone not assimilated
into Bolt's system of belief in the White Western Christian Capitalist
structure needs a foot planted firmly on their necks.
Bolt
is a klutz simplicity makes him one. Infra structure is not far more
complex than he makes out. Inland system doesn't require speed it
requires the improved ability to shift goods. The fast train has nothing
to do with shifting goods it's transport for people. Bolt it seems can
only absorb one thing time and his mind vaporizes when faced with the
slightest of complexities. However this isn't even about complexity.
Turnbull and his minister were talking about two different things.
future and current infrastructure needs.
Bolt's world where colour doesn't matter is awfully colored isn't it? " Oh, and Dillon corrects the Greens: no, Aboriginal prisoners are not more likely to die in jail. White prisoners are." Color
doesn't preclude people being right or wrong in their interpretation of
facts either. In this case Dillon is wrong and Bolt references him
because they are both wrong. Being black or being aboriginal isn't what
puts indigenous Australians at the bottom of all negative social indices
the fact that they are does. Health,unemployment,housing,education etc
is the worst their color and culture hasn't placed them there 227 years
of systemic prejudice, disadvantage and lack of opportunity in what
originally was a foreign system has.
Does
Bolt really believe that he and his "best aboriginal mate" at school
were open to equal opportunities through the passage of time. Bolt often
tells us that his best mate was aboriginal. He never tells us what
happened to him. This isn't an equal opportunity world if your born
black it's not because of your blackness. Victimhood isn't something
your born with proof is in the eyes kids in school yards Bolt and his
mate. Victimization is something experienced over a protracted period of
time and is implicit within the social system your surrounded by. It
gets into your bones by osmosis. Ask women, LGBTIs & the
disadvataged.
Why
do we treat exceptions that overcome it as heroes Stan Grant Cathy
Freeman etc and call them role models because we implicitly know they
are exceptions and exceptions prove the rule in a racist society. Why is
Bolt no role model because he's ordinary and less than exceptional.
Fear
Mongering by a low flying IQ Andrew Bolt. What is preventing your
house being bombed at any time. After all it wasn't that long ago that a
Caulfield doctor's house was bombed and machine gunned on a regular
basis. Melbourne even knew who was doing it but nothing happened.
Drones
exist whether legal or illegal is Bolt suggesting prohibition or
regulation of all remote controlled items? Guns exist, explosive devices
exist, and remote controlled devices exist there isn't anything new
here to added risk. When aeroplanes were invented why weren't they
banned? You'd be a clown to suggest progress be halted and that we need
to do a 180 degree turn-a-round and go back to the future. Delcon
Conservatives do try to turn back the clock. However they also tend to
pull the alarmist card out on a regular basis don't they. Why do they
constantly try to drag us into their half empty cup world? It's
politically advantageous to keep us afraid and policed read Goebells or
Orwell.
Most of Bolt's link's today are cup in hand begs for $$ Murdoch's papers are bleeding money
What would Bolt do without being able to Churnalise facts off yes you guessed it the ABC. I doubt he'd have a job. Bolt actually doesn't need facts to come to his conclusions. An Ouija board coupled with some extreme right wing elitist values will do.
But take note of the fact Bolt only says to "some extent " That hardly sounds confident.Those critics is why Abbott's changed they saved the party. Bolt refuses to admit Abbott was forced unwillingly to compromise.
How boringly repetitive can Bolt be, what was good for Hockey preelection 2013 must also be good for Shorten. Why should Labour reveal strategies at this point when they have been watching Abbott self destruct.
This is a diverted link to a Murdoch ad for $$
Sorry, Mr Bolt if Baird comes in with an increased majority you may have a point. However if he comes in with a decreased one it will make no sense to blame Shorten for it. However be my guest as you will look the fool for trying to defy logic. You often are and in doing so've draw attention to were it belongs Abbott.
" I think voters will in time see through this rank and dangerous populism.The issue then will not be whether Abbott is or isn’t bad. It will be
which leader - Abbott or Shorten - is serious about the problems before
us."
We've seen Abbott's faux seriousness for the past 18months. The question to ask is do we want a right wing elite determining the our future, particularly one that has flip flopped around as much as the one we have? Even the business class has lost faith in Abbott.
But then again knowing you Bolt should there be a reduced majority win I'm sure you will find the time and space to have a go at blaming Islam for it as well.
What salesmen, what statesmen Robb and Costello are running down Australia in a closed meeting of 2000 investors in Hong Kong. What a wacko Bolt is he's actually letting the cat out of the bag and telling us. Our government is told investors NOT TO INVEST in Australia. Abbott quite often did the same thing when speaking at International forums. Why take the time to complain about domestic politics leaving an international audience stunned by what's considered lack of foreign policy skills.
Chris Kenny is another Murdochian with kangaroos loose in the top paddock doing the Bevis and Butthead snigger. There is no argument here but aren't Chris Kenny and Greg Sheridan a pair?
As for Newman's ignorance well it speaks for itself
"Carbon dioxide, which is produced in great quantities also, but is
colourless and normally benign, is not a pollutant. It is a greenhouse
gas which, as its concentration increases in the atmosphere, contributes
to the warming of the planet. It is a greenhouse gas, not a pollutant,
in the context of climate change"
Yes a handfull of companies are responsible for this man made CO2 addition to our atmosphere. As for Tony Jones's vested interests neither Bolt or Newman declare theirs. I'm sure they are all on the same page when it comes to fossil fuels none have money invested in them. Can Bolt show he puts his money where his moth is? The real villains in Australia’s renewables debacle? Three big energy companies | John Hewson
Michael Costa is to Labour What John Hewson is to the conseravtive Liberals . As for declaring their interests neither are required to do anything as long as they are not politicians. Is Andrew Bolt required to declare his vested interests?
Bolt is eating his own attacking Hewson. The last I heard Hewson was still a Liberal I also heard Alan Jones was to. However Bolt in a head to head battle with Alan Jones would see him for what he is little more than a bag of wind. Why doesn't he invite Jones to discuss the pros and cons of CSG on his Report? Because he can't have an opposing voice on his show or even in his blog.
Hewson is a warming alarmist how shrill of Bolt.Read this he's verging on the hysterical. How dare anybody with assets try to improve the level of disclosure and best industry practise?
I've believe it's in our National Interest to do just that. Isn't that what our metadata laws and 2 year retention meant to do, improve disclosure of whatever the government wants to know about all of us. Shouldn't we know what corporations are doing?

How could it be when the Republicans are writing to Iran themselves. War is money the US miltary complex is privately controlled and the Republicans their party. A deal is simply not in their interests war is. They want forces on the ground in Iraq despite the fact Iraqis don't want them there.
Neocon Jennifer Rubin 2014 want's Israel and the US to bomb Iran
"a group of 47 Senate Republicans told Iran the deal could be nixed by a
Republican-led Congress or future Republican president. "We will
consider any agreement regarding your nuclear-weapons program that is
not approved by the Congress as nothing more than an executive agreement
between President Obama and Ayatollah Khamenei,"
" Arkansas Republican Senator Tom Cotton, received nearly $1 million in
donations to his election campaign efforts last year from the Emergency
Committee for Israel, run by neoconservative pundit Bill Kristol. The Intercept reports Cotton was set to appear at a secretive meeting of weapons contractors the day after sending the letter."
"could imagine, during the 1960s, if the Republicans in Congress had
then written to the Soviet leader Khrushchev warning him not to
negotiate with Kennedy over the Cuban missile crisis because the United
States would bomb the Soviet Union two years later if the Republicans
won the election. It’s really tantamount to that kind of reckless
interference and dangerous, reckless interference for U.S. interests."
Why would Iran trust these douche bags to keep their word? That's who Andrew Bolt is rooting for
If IS claims responsibility you be the first to hear it from Andrew Bolt even if not true. He is the primo IS promoter here in Australia. He likes to get under the skin and divide 3% of this nations population, separate them from us all. Never mind the consequence as he doing it for Tony.
P.S For a professional writer of some years standing you should either get a proof reader or take some English lessonsMr Bolt.
Well let me put it this way you certainly did Mr Bolt Abbott admitted it shamelessly. You continue to support him with lies. It will take years to regain the respect Australia once had Internationally. What the Abbott government has done in the past 18 months has left a stench on this page in our history.
Michael Costa is to Labour what Malcolm Fraser was to the Liberal party. No worse he became a Murdoch man. He was easily bought. But then he was a friend of the master at being bought Eddy Obeid. You fail to credit him with any of this.. In tomorrow's Bolt Report he's your guest. Is there any alternative voice on the show like the ABC?
