GIVE ASIA BIBI A HOME HE
COLUMN We have a refugee program that’s helped plenty of frauds. Let’s now use it to help a real refugee — a Christian woman who mobs in Pakistan want to murder. So why hasn’t the Morrison Government already offered Asia Bibi asylum?

Andrew Bolt is such a compassionate person, isn't he? If Asia Bibi had managed to flee Pakistan with her children and got on a boat Bolt would have had her sent to Nauru never to be resettled in Australia. Christian or not Peter Dutton's and the LNP principles would need to be held firm and set in concrete.
But Bolt has to show he's god glancing around the world looking for someone anyone deserving of his selective token of compassion without even asking those he selects what it is they might want. Whether or not they even want to come to Australia gods own country. The country Bolt actually spends 90% of his time complaining about telling us that people like Asia Bibi aren't wanted here and are a blight.
Bolts fickle finger of kind fate doesn't point to Bibi out of a belief in Human Rights. Bolt's not a Humanist by any means however, he needs to disguise his colonial, ethnocentric and racist attitude with a little trickle down human kindness when in fact he's no better than the religious mobs anywhere else prepared to kill in order to protect their privilege and try to publicly endorse their superiority with pronouncements that show they differ from others. Proof of this is that Bolt doesn't give a rats about the children in detention who are being driven insane, are self-harming and attempting suicide. There is no such thing as universal Human Rights as far as Andrew Bolt's concerned.
Bolt doesn't deny he's anti-Multiculturalism but he's anti- the Separation of Powers too as for him Australia is a Christian country. He claims he's not a racist yet only 25% of Australians identify as Christians and proportionately far more Africans, Pacific Islanders and Aboriginals do than Caucasian Australians. Australia isn't by any means a Christian country it's a secular one. Yet Bolt would in his mind's eye prefer these coloureds weren't here. He spends an awful amount of energy telling that they are more trouble than they the (South Sudanese, Islanders, and Indigenous) are worth and rarely acknowledging their Christianity. He's White Christian Nationalist to a tee and not just a self-declared Patriot. Bolt hates other countries and spends his energies telling so. Muslim Nations, African Nations the Chinese and the United Nations have been given a dose of Bolt's fervent Nationalism. There is no sense of global equanimity in Bolt, of being part of the wider world no want of globalisation except the corporate kind.
Asia Bibi has been in jail for 8 years People in Nauru for over 5 and they experienced the fear of death for some time before the risking, even more, of the same to get to Australia only to find Bolt at the gate saying the things Trump does that they dangerous invaders likely terrorist criminals and carriers of disease fakes that would throw their children overboard to get here. Bolt
No matter what Bolt says he's an ultra-racist. He says he had an Aboriginal friend at school Alan I believe was his name but Bolt is no friend of Aboriginals whose culture he tells everyone is to blame for their low social status. In the same vein as Asia Bibi, he uses Alan tell himself and us he's no racist he uses them as tokens to try to show the world he cares, that he's a great guy a Snag when in fact he couldn't give a rats about Pakis, Christians or not. If Asia Bibi had managed to get here and Bolt didn't know her publicized story she'd be absorbed into his general stereotype of those he claims don't belong his 'deplorables'. The rural, uneducated, incompatibles that are simply a burden on the taxes he has to pay to support them. Yes, Bolt has never had compassion for any asylum seekers who he readily calls "illegals" whether they come by boat or fly in he really doesn't want them. Picking and singling out one doesn't polish the turd or hide his racism for a moment. Bolt tries to hide with hints of humanity he doesn't even bother to ask Asia Bibi what it is she might like.
WHY I'M GLAD MARK LATHAM IS BACK
I once called Mark Latham all sorts of names. But I am very glad he's now headed for the NSW Parliament. One: he represents the working-class voters Labor has betrayed. Two: he speaks frankly. My editorial from The Bolt Report.

You can't polish a turd. Mark Latham is doing what Mark Latham does and it's for Mark Latham alone. He needs One Nation to increase his chances of getting an easy 4.5% of votes to make it to the NSW Upper House. One Nation needs Mark Latham's presence on the media circuit to boost their message and save them the funds they don't have to promote themselves. The pot of gold for Latham is a secure 8-year salary as a NSW Senator. After winning he can and will give One Nation the boot. These two are political parasites locked in a short-term symbiotic relationship and both are experienced in feeding off others servicing themselves not others.
Bolt's two-faced isn't he? He's put in a lot of energy into convincing us that One Nation had stolen the Liberal base after Abbott was voted out of the leadership yet here he is telling us Hanson has actually run away with Labour's base that she is Australia's, Donald Trump appealing to the working class. She hasn't that many supporter numbers to be a party for everyone left and right. Bolt will say anything won't he and it's all BS? Mark Latham is a perfect match for One Nation and One Nation is his vehicle for the pot of gold at the end of his personal rainbow. He and Bolt are mates simply because they understand their venal sides and are both so disliked.
Hard working Australians Bolt's the only person I ever hear attacking workers as lazy and the jobless as bludgers and any unions or association of workers an anathema but not so business. Bolt's the only one that says Australian workers are slackers and prefer the dole to jobs, not the ALP. Sorry, you don't hear Shorten or Albo denigrate Australian workers. Just as you don't hear Bolt telling us just how workers are ripped off by Corporate and business pirates who run phoenix companies are tax evaders fraudsters and are the billion dollar underpayers and superannuation thieves of ordinary Australians as they are his advertisers. You don't here Bolt complaining that workers are worse off today than they were back in the 80s under Labour only off under Howard because even he knows he can't because they aren't better off today. Underemployment has skyrocketed for those he calls bludgers those whose wages have been flat for the past 5 years. Those 750,000 scrambling for 150,000 jobs. Those the laws have been rigged to prevent association in unions
Bolt's "gladness" about Latham isn't empathy it's simply he's cast in the same mould as Latham, Hanson, Abbott, all outliers a self-serving bunch who won't put their hands in their pockets and refuse that the government does it for them. Bolt will now have a greater excuse to have Latham a filler on his show providing Bolt with the space to do nothing but pretend his show speaks Aussie battlers who aren't watching. Latham's history speaks for itself he's never represented anyone but himself even in the Labour Party he was an Abbott. Bolt likes him because he's a "me" person another loner and not a "we" person and it seems neither will ever be.

Bolt is back in the dark ages believes Indonesia can't hear his banging of the jingoistic drums or read English. They clearly know what Australian conservatives think of them. Abbott a government minister goes worldwide speaking against his own party's policies. Turnbull was invited to be Australia's representative and was expected to report back Indonesia's attitude to the declaration that Australia would "give " the embassy move some thought. However, given the drop in favour of Israel in the US at the moment and particularly among the Jewish community I doubt Morrison would make such a stupid move before now and the next election again. Americans no longer rate Israel as highly as they once did and these midterms voted two Muslim women into Congress that would be something the world should take notice of and applaud.
Bolt's just taken on the Trump's mantle of fearmongering when there's nothing left to do and your so disapproved of. While Tony Abbott is running clandestine campaigns to have himself installed as opposition leader after the next election it's refreshing to see and hear ex-Liberal leaders and even Rudd speaking openly to the truth rather than hiding the truth which has always been Bolt's preferred option. He somehow feels mimicking Trump and abusing your neighbours is a better form of domestic politics but unlike Americans, many of whom know little or nothing about the world outside of their country and can be easily conned by Murdoch media. Australians tend to be more worldly because we travel Asia a lot more than Americans and on top of it have the ABC. Had Turnbull and Rudd not addressed Indonesia's concerns truthfully we'd really look two-faced in the eyes of the region, not just Indonesia. Morrison didn't say he would move before the Wentworth by-election he said he'd consider it for the benefit of the 13% Jewish electorate who aren't so in favour of it anyway. Consider meant he'd take advice and he's been given it and will seem wiser for the counsel. Speaking to the truth was once a very Jewish value since destroyed by the modern right-wing state of Israel.
Israel’s
propaganda messaging targeting the left includes greenwashing – falsely
marketing Israel as environmentally friendly – and pinkwashing, a
strategy that deploys Israel’s supposed enlightenment toward LGBTQ
issues to deflect criticism from its human rights abuses.
Regard
for Israel remains reasonably high overall – 62 percent view Israel as
either an ally or friendly, according to the poll – especially when
compared with the results for states that are routinely demonized in US
media, including Turkey, Iran, China, Russia and North Korea.
But
as Shalev notes, Israel’s standings “pale in comparison” to those of
Canada (81 percent “ally” or “friendly”) and the United Kingdom (80
percent), and Israel’s position is lower than Germany (68 percent),
Japan (69 percent) and South Korea (68 percent).
This
poll confirms long-term trends about the profound change in the profile
of support for Israel, which includes a dramatic erosion of support
among younger American Jews.
It also suggests that
the tens – perhaps hundreds – of millions of dollars Israel and its
lobby are spending on shoring up that support has been a very poor
investment.

Oh, what a surprise a Fox News Report. Fox News is also reporting Trump won the midterms and they were a great success. There is a clear inability of Trump to face the truth while the media were doing their jobs trying to get Trump to address the facts.

This is what Andrew Bolt expects to get readers subscribing to the Herald Sun. Guess he's after an old white male demographic. Thought he had those sewn up.
RUSH CASE: A JUDGE ON TOUCHING MISS NORVILL
The judge's comment is .... interesting: "At first blush it is absolutely extraordinary in light of that intense preparation….that Mr Rush would intentionally touch Miss Norvill for his own sexual gratification.” Wendy Tuohy is worth reading on this case.
There is a clear difference between Bolt and Ross Cameron of the Outsiders Bolt always seems to be advertising what it is he can't say. Amazing isn't it that he's the only commentator that keeps telling us he has so much more to say but can't. Why is that is it because it's his team that's being sued? How different would Bolt be if it was the ABC defending itself? How is it he's a lone wolf in the media that seems unable to speak? It's almost as if he's stuck for something to say when it comes to the truth and is lost for lies.
Nobody is calling Norvill a liar but some might believe in the folly of youth left to a furtive imagination. The dedication and concentration an actor of Rushe's calibre puts into any production and the roles he plays to draw an audience in makes it seem difficult to imagine he has time for anything else to be running through his head during a performance other than being in character. Let's face it the Daily Telegraph's euphamism on the title of the play suggested something quite perverse was occurring between actors which wasn't Shakespeare. Isn't that what the case is about The Daily Telegraph's reporting? Let's not forget
"Telegraph published stories Rush had "behaved inappropriately" towards a (then as yet unnamed) fellow cast member in two stories and a newsagent poster, triggering this defamation action. She never spoke to the Daily Telegraph nor wanted the story out."
