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.
Liberal faction bosses in NSW have devastated the federal party. They backed Malcolm Turnbull, now campaigning against the Liberals. Next, they want to drive Jim Molan out of the Senate. They fear the intelligence and independence of this distinguished Major General and great Australian. But here is how you can save Jim and defy the wreckers.
"A party that thinks Molan is too good for them is a party too gutless and brainless to vote for." Bolt
The tail continues to wag the dog in the Liberal Party. Via the support of its ally News Corp, aka the Murdoch Party whose core and business model PR for profit. An entirely privatised media News Corp has no interest in news or information just influence for sale. Its aim is the eradication of the ABC anyone who provides a channel for good questioning on behalf of Australians. Every effort is made to diminishing rather than the improving Democracy in Australia and the Anglosphere.
Tony Abbott remains Murdoch's great white hope when he doesn't put his foot in his mouth an impossible task. It's to rid Australia of the only real mainstream news and information service in the country the ABC. The only service that holds the government to function no matter their political persuasion. As such the Independent statuary body is particularly hated by News Corp and Rupert Murdoch because the contrast crosses the Murdochian goal of selling influence as successfully done by Fox News in the US.
Bolt speaks of the "intelligence and independence" of Jim Molan who aligned himself with the equivalent of the UK's Nazi Party Britain First seemingly apologising not for their ideas but getting caught in ignorance. Molan is the Liberal embarrassment and equivalent of Independent Senator Fraser Anning
What is doubly amusing is Andrew Bolt "No Foul No Favour" is setting his blog site as a micro Get UP site for funding the tail of the Liberal Party against none other than the Liberal Party. No pretence to News Corp's slogan in America "Fair and Balanced" here.
Across the world, demagogues have deftly exploited bigotry to whip up anger using incidents of murder and rape. Increasingly, social media has become an effective way to weaponise tragic acts and use them for partisan political goals. In Germany, the far-right Alternative for Germany party has singularly focused on several cases of murders committed by refugees to intensify hatred of Middle Eastern immigrants. In Myanmar, lurid stories posted on Facebook detailing purported acts of rape and murder by the Muslim Rohingya minority against the Buddhist majority were used to justify a brutal ethnic cleansing in the northwest Rakhine State. In some cases, the stories were false. Viral stories that focus on the identity of killers to stoke ethnic tension can also be found in India, Sri Lanka, Nigeria, and beyond. In the U.S., there is a long history of racist violence following politicians’ focus on crimes — real or imagined — by particular minority groups. Across the ideological spectrum, many on social media continue to fixate on the racial or ethnic identity of criminals. Trump’s embrace of the strategy now appears to have reverberated across the Republican Party, with GOP lawmakers now openly encouraged to stoke fear over immigrant crime.
As far back as 2011, the Australian PM Scott Morrison was encouraging the use of creating ethnic and racial division as the strategy to help promote the Liberal political agenda. He was actually encouraging Party support for it as far back as the Cronulla riots in 2005. He saw that the party support of this division ethnic and racial with media backing of 2GB and News Corp would garner votes. In fact with Abbott rise to PM Islamophobia went from 9% to 33%. Yes, it might have been the rise of Tony Abbott to the leadership that clinched it, but it was Morrison's strategy before and after the election of 2013. It resulted in Team Australia, the establishment of the ABF and our harsh offshore detention regime.
Since the world has noticed Australia's ultra-conservative border protection policies which seem to have been adopted by the right wing globally. Racism and ethnic hatred has been emphasised to establish community fear, and in that regard, Scott Morrison PM could, in fact, be dubbed the political genius of modern political hate spread with the supported of MSM groups like Fairfax today Ch9 and in particular News Corp otherwise known here as the Murdoch Party (ODT)
LIAM NEESON IS A SORRY RACIST
COLUMN Actor Liam Neeson insists: “I’m not racist.” I hate to join the Twitter mob, but actually, Liam, you are. Or at least you’re a sorry one, for saying you once looked for a "black bastard" to kill - just any black man - in revenge for the rape of a friend. Collective punishment for a "race" is racist.
This is Both a PAYWALL and a repetition of yesterday's post
Neeson, unlike Kerry Anne Kennerly as I said yesterday with 20/20 vision in hindsight revealed that every racist culture if one scratches the surface creates a social psychology in all appearance as normative but is, in fact, racist bigotry internalised by those raised in it and it's regarded as usual and is often hidden under the surface.
The difference between Bolt and Neeson is Bolt believes and tries to promote the myth of "reverse racism" where the anger of the oppressed with the boot of their oppressors on their throat is flipped as racism by Bolt and who then cries, victim. The systemic structure history and behavioural trends that create an unequal hierarchy of privilege and disadvantage based on race are ignored.
Kick Turnbull out is the desperate call disallowing private citizens to be members of the Liberal Party. Bolt's "many" media is in fact "most" media, and he has become, no, always was the tail trying to wag the media dog on this issue. Democracy is for Bolt a weak system of politics. Betrayal, however, is when Tony Abbott refusing to resign from the Parliamentary Party promised to be a supporter simply sniped and backstabbed his team from the backbench a vast difference. Bolt was a great supporter of that and declared it as his Democratic freedom but not so in the case of Turnbull.
Trivia dressed as importance by Bolt who spent concentrated energy on Julia Gillard's personal looks dress and life more so than any male leader has and now defending Scott Morrison when he didn't Julia Gillard. Yes, in this case, it's trivia dressed insult by men whose intense bullying of women stans on record.
Pope Francis publicly acknowledges the scandal of priests and bishops sexually abusing nuns for the first time, saying he is committed to doing more to fight the problem
The pride the right and conservatives hold in Western Culture seems rose-tinted and false. People like Andrew Bolt would be far better off considering the negative aspects Western Culture brought to the planet when slavery or human property became redefined and labour disguised as Industry. Colonialism defined as progress and Science and ideas privatised as Intellectual Property. Western Culture created the acceleration of a class system unheralded privatisation of everything today under its false canopy and temporary veneer of progress.Yet beneath it, all depravity reined in our Institutions flouted as the highest moral orderPR shylocks like News Corp's Dorian Gray Andrew Bolt (ODT)
THE JUSSIE SMOLLET STORY: WHAT DOESN'T FIT
We were told Empire star Jussie Smollett was attacked by two homophobic racists shouting Trump slogans - thugs who threw chemicals on him and put a noose around his neck that they just happened to be carrying at 2am. The media Left eagerly treated this anti-Trump story as true, but so much doesn't fit. My editorial from The Bolt Report.
Repeating not only himself but could be accused of nicking the doubts of the conservative online mag American Thinker Bolt's back disparaging Jussie Smollet not because he's lying plenty of whites lie Andrew Bolt does but just because Smollet is not white. Bolt expected his story that he was working as a bouncer to a belly dancer and that they weren't engaged as automatically to be taken as the truth. After all, he is Andrew Bolt. Well, that blew up in his face he was being supported and kept by his long term partner to whom he had given an engagement ring as a pledge of marriage which he denied. Furthermore, she was a teacher and not as exotic as he would have liked us believe and his excuse he hadn't told any of this to his wife as he was trying to protect her with Don Quixote chivalry all bullshit. Bolt continued with his lie until threatened with a lawsuit by his ex-fiance. He then folded like a cheap suit. Admitting he told stories he wanted you to hear to pump himself up and make him look less like the misogynist he really is.
Bolt is saying "I'm not saying it's a lie" yet he uses the story as a convenient weapon to 1 ) declare it was raised by the media not merely as a reportable item but as an attack on Trump. Trump even acknowledged the story and didn't make any such implications as Bolt does. He doesn't use it or apply it as fake. 2) In the accompanying videos Bolt cuts to make it seem as if what the two women are saying is somehow connected to the Smollet story when they aren't. They are referring to Trump's daily behaviours and what he does do and say. Bolt, in fact, doesn't connect any dots he creates them to build the conclusion he wants to arrive at and is doing it dishonestly just as Walter Mitty Bolt did when he said he was working as a minder to a belly dancer.
There is no room for debate here Smollet is on the other side of the planet, and Andrew Bolt feels smug with his bullshit editorial suggesting that a coloured man is bullshitting simply to defame Trump. No Bolt has a get out clause to his hypothetical "I'm not saying it's false but" and he's doing it racially in plain sight no matter the truth.
The issue is there is no room for debate in the format of the Bolt Report it's purely a platform for right-wing propaganda. His blog is moderated, and the radio shows you find him on are too. Any news and information is cherry-picked and delivered to arrive at pre-ordained conclusions and this is a fine example.
Victorians voted against scaremongering and division. They voted against the poisonous and negative politics of scrappers like Tony Abbott whose tactics were adopted by Matthew Guy and mirrored by the Murdoch Media the Liberal conservative echo chamber. Andrew Bolt never let up his negative invective scaremongering campaign for his mate M, Kroger and it came back and smashed him in the face once again.
Did anybody notice the crowd Dan Andrews addressed at the Village Green Hotel? It was Multicultural a truly rainbow crowd of colour. There were Africans, Sikhs, Muslims Asians, Christians Indians and whites all smiling in their hundreds with their hands in the air. That's something that couldn't be said of the meagre one hundred whites in Guy's Club in Bulleen. Today we woke up yet again to Australia's most progressive state, most progressive City with the most progressive leadership where Australians, immigrants and asylum seekers of all colours and creeds want to and can live. Whose citizens said clearly and loudly nope nope nope to the conservative racist, ethnocentric, white, nationalist hatred filled whinging of the negative western cultured assimilationist mindset supported by Murdoch's News Corp, the IPA, and the ultra-conservative driven mindset of Liberal Party as represented by the scrapper Matthew Guy who modelled himself on Tony Abbott.
How many times and years can Peta Credlin, Paul Murray and Andrew Bolt have egg on their face and still call themselves commentators and not simply mug PR agents and Lobbyists trying to con Australians for a dollar? (ODT)
Watch Andrew Bolt distance himself from himself when he says Guy an Abbott doppelganger was a "hopeless Campaigner" and distance himself further from himself saying ""You cannot rely simply on scaring people," when that 's all Bolt has been doing for the past 5 years. It's called doing the Abbott. Bolt simply can't say he got it wrong and has egg on his face yet again can he?"There is no one author of this defeat, it is too big to say that, but the [federal] leadership is absolutely one of them." Bolt (ODT)
Bolt said Mr Guy was a "hopeless campaigner" and in a message to federal Liberals who are preparing next year's campaign strategy, said the party could not rely on "scaring people" to win votes. "You cannot rely simply on scaring people," he said. "You've got to look serious and have serious answers and I don't think the voters ever thought the Liberals had that. "There is no one author of this defeat, it is too big to say that, but the [federal] leadership is absolutely one of them."
Australian Unity in Multicultural Diversity something Bolt denies
The Victorian Labor Party capitalised on Mr Turnbull's dumping by erecting billboards featuring Mr Guy alongside pictures of Prime Minister Scott Morrison, Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton and former prime minister Tony Abbott
Victoria's election was a disaster for the Liberals that has federal implications: "Labor looks set to win at least 60 of 88 seats... The win is the biggest for Labor since Steve Bracks won 62 seats in 2002 against Robert Doyle." The Liberals did win again after Doyle's loss, but repeating that will take some doing unless the economy tanks.
Andrew Bolt simply moves on taking no blame for the trashing the Liberal's got for their campaign of scaremongering and division fully assisted by Andrew Bolt himself. No his caravan of crap will move on but won't change or take the blame for any of it. The means of ridding ourselves of this permanent scar on our media landscape can only be achieved when News Corp's business model recognizes Bolt's of no PR value to their clients. Surely a drubbing like the Liberals took in this election his failure to raise Abbott from the grave time and time again is some sort of message. After all look at his "I don't know what to say it's the Liberal's fault not mine" commentary he offers now of commentary he has on offer now. Andrew Bolt is the very example of why the Liberal brand has been trashed for at least 8 years. (ODT)
CHINA HAS WAYS TO MAKE YOU BEHAVE
It's like inventing God, who punishes on earth for sin .... and dissent: "China’s plan to judge each of its 1.3 billion people based on their social behaviour is moving a step closer to reality, with Beijing set to adopt a lifelong points program by 2021... Those deemed untrustworthy will be “unable to move even a single step.”
Behaviourist theories have been about well before China's 1949 revolution. They were a core of Colonial theory and practice and of Catholic Conversion therapies as a means of accumulating credits to heaven. It was the psychology practised in extreme form on Australian Indigenous peoples when Welfare policies removed children in order to save them from their families and culture. Bolt's constant denial that there was no Stolen Generation. Australia always has a way to make you behave and Bolt was a foremost advocate for the reward and punishment application of Skinner's behaviourist theories of child raising. Safe schools, Open Universities, are all a danger to Bolt's strict regimen of training programs and the false belief that our class based free market system produces a true meritocracy.
China created a revolution that has freed 1.3 billion people from poverty. That took an amazing systemic approach to social engineering. It's seen that increasing freedom and wealth can just as easily unravel the material gains achieved and resist sharing the same opportunity. Social Democratic Countries of Scandinavia have shown the benefits individuals have gained when their material needs are guaranteed by the state. Why can't Bolt accept that because it also enables a true meritocracy to develop which if that were the case here in Australia might endanger the loss of privilege handed to his children by who rather than what you know? Privilege and opportunity only some Australians have today not all.
Labour has won the elections over and Bolt's immediately into Sinophobia scaring the nation of the dastardly devious Chinese that Pauline Hanson said have already invaded Australia why? Dan Andrews has signed in principle agreements with China that the Federal government wants to deny for what? Political scaremongering and Sinophobia as too for political advantage. Nothing has changed Liberals are Liberals the BS of greater National Security required to keep us safe will be repeated and Bolt will be paid to sell it only to see the Liberals crash in 2019 and crash even harder if the model themselves on Abbott's conservatives.
IT WASN'T THE RIGHT THAT COST THE LIBERALS VICTORIA
The Liberal Left claims the Victorian defeat shows the Right has hurt the party, not just by sacking Malcolm Turnbull: "Liberal MP Mary Wooldridge said a 'takeover' of the party's Victorian branches by ultra-conservative members needed to be corrected if it was to become competitive." Yet Matthew Guy's Liberals were as wobbly Left as Turnbull's.
PAYWALL ONLY And it begins how is it Bolt now starts to deflect all blame away from the Conservative Right. Matthew Guy was a doppelganger for Tony Abbott. He stood side by side with Peter Dutton. He was everything right that was wrong and Bolt applauded him for it and joined the campaign. Now he's revealing himself for what he is as much moral spine as a jellyfish and as poisonous even to his own side
US media outlets are recklessly promoting war with help from neocons, including Arab American right-wingers who do not represent the views of the region they are demanding Trump bomb.
American media outlets can't help themselves. They love war. They love war more than they hate Trump. They love war so much, they are cheering on the president they hate to militarily escalate in Syria. And if he doesn't escalate in Syria, it proves he is controlled by the Kremlin, they tell us. If he wants to demonstrate that Russia isn't calling the shots, he must bomb Syria. And he must bomb Syria to punish Assad for an alleged chemical attack that has yet to be properly investigated to determine whether it took place and who is responsible. The US media isn't interested in evidence, they have been repeating that Assad was behind this alleged attack from the beginning and through repetition it has become a truth.RTA
Peter Ford, the former British ambassador to Syria. Ford told BBC Radio Scotland that “in all probability” the alleged chemical attack never happened and that the video and image evidence used as proof by the US and its allies was falsified. There are others who believe that the attack could have been real, but that the perpetrators were anti-Assad rebels trying to provoke fresh military action from the US — in other words, it was very possibly a false flag event which served its purpose perfectly. One of the best questions to ask when something like this happens, is: Who benefits? Very clearly, in this case, Assad has not benefited at all, but the rebel groups fighting against him have. Whatever the truth about this alleged chemical attack, the notion of false flag events being used to prompt military action should not be met with such skepticism. The US has a long history of using lies (or ‘fake news’ you might call it) as a pretext for war. It is important to look at recent events in Syria within that context.False flags are real – US has a long history of lying to start wars
Andrew Bolt is a churnalist and his editorial is proof of it. However, notice the banner he posted above "we lose". Does it even make sense? What bombs did "we" drop? What involvement did "we" have? The"we" and our participation seem to be solely determined by Bolt's imagination, nobody elses. Did anybody notice Australia wasn't there? Bolt nevertheless clubs us together as if Australia were. Unlike when he refuses the "we" with UK and France on Climate even though Abbott signed us up to the Paris accord. Bolt tends to report the explanations of others like Theresa May who clearly said "the bombing was never intended to have any effect on the balance of the outcome of the war." and then attach his hawkish propaganda opinion on it. It wasn't a "loss". It was an actually to help Trump save face after his extraordinary kneejerk Twittering threats. The needed the help Abbott didn't get when he said he was going to shirtfront Putin. He just looked a fool. If there was a loss at all it was Trump's irrational Twittering response. Theresa May, in fact, made that obvious when she said the bombing was never intended to affect the course or outcome of the war. What was left unsaid it was Clayton's bombing to assist the idiot man-child President.
However, Bolt takes the opportunity Bolt to say "we" most grim and seriously because Assad is still in place and Russia is still there and now there to stay. Bolt somehow misses the fact that Russia was there before this war began, in fact, they have been there since the Cold War in 1947 and have had an established naval base in Syria since 1971. It was their HQ in both the Mediterranean and the Middle East. So what on earth is Bolt actually saying? He was being Trump a warmongering sabre rattling Dr Strangelove Hawke disappointed and regretful the war wasn't allowed to escalate he was pouting like Trump. It's clear he'd prefer Australia in the thick of it dropping bombs on Damascus and not just symbolically to make Trump look a respectable President. However, that's all this bombing was 150 missiles too to destroy 3 empty buildings. For Bolt, a world gain is a loss nobody killed is a loss and Australia not in the thick of an escalated war is a loss. He is Trump.
The question that really comes out of Bolt's editorial is why is he such a poor commentator presenting such extreme views? News Corp, it masks Trump and makes him look better.PR is why he needs to present a version of "facts" no matter how wrong to tell us Trump's a leader that Western allies and advisers didn't hold Trump back? His editorial doesn't enlighten us on anything but only distorts and the sabre rattling only fogs reality that America is rudderless without a leader just getting by?
1h Why has Bolt got Molan on reporting on something he said months ago? Didn't anyone believe him then? It got him elected. So Bolt's given him a second go to repeat his message after looking such an idiot in supporting Britain First? Molan doesn't seem to have progressed or moved on. Or is Bolt so short of stories and guests he has to churn out old ones? Guess it saves money by having a production line of stale repetition. News Corp needs to appear to have a show not have a show, a Clayton's Report.
The fact is until Tony Abbott came in Australia was the only country ahead of the largest depression since the Great Depression. We were ahead of the world. That recession isn't looming it's never left and the LNP has successfully brought us in at a faster rate than any other OECD counties. While we are sinking from the top of the ladder others are stepping up and walking all over us and Newman is concerned Labor will get in and his ilk, not Australia will need to give back. The sitting duck quacking isn't Australia it's Newman.
19m Bolt our resident climate scientist, mathematician and statistician is at it again. Telling us that the amateurs in Treasury need their fingers to add up. What are Bolt's qualifications? Art, Opera, and Whiskey sounds the right combination to be our financial adviser and aloof social climbing opinionated drunk. "A Treasury report released by Treasurer Scott Morrison tries to fool us that our massive immigration intake - three times higher than 13 years ago - is actually good for us:"Bolt
Apparently, migrants are all cost with a minimum gain according to Bolt. The fact is less than 10% are refugees and receive help. Bolt never mentions that fact in his 245.000 figure. The Kew shopping centre is largely migrant run and employs hundreds of taxpaying bludgers.It's mirrored across the nation. Migrants are more the powerhouses of the nation more productive than Andrew Boltand are consumers of the basics driving demand and supply of real things and not just propaganda and fake news.
As for the infrastructure well the last Victoria experienced they were being blackmailed by Tony Abbott to the tune of $3billion which is still being withheld for Matthew Guy's sake. Add the cuts Abbott made to health and welfare and the stalling and cuts to Gonski one might come to realize that while Immigration is adding to the economy the Federal government is not.
The lack of difference in our individual wealth is a misdirect firstly in saying "our" he represents less than 10%. But Companies and business have on average increased their wealth by 20%-25%
but haven't shared it in terms of wages. The government has changed the Labor laws to such an extent that that unions and enterprise bargaining has come to a halt. Casualized labour is now equal to permanent and wages, as a result, have increased less than 2%. Yet the cry is still the more profits a company makes the more it invests it doesn't.
To say " "In short: this report is a farce that confirms the case against this high immigration that it seeks to defend."Bolt
Is scapegoating Immigration for the lack of infrastructure governments have blocked for decades and continue to do and finally have to find blame for. In the meantime, migrants are increasing the wealth of the country while governments bring it to a standstill especially the ones who don't pass bills like the record-breaking Abbott LNP
In case we for get these are persons of high regard for Andrew Bolt and Senator Jinm Molan
The leaders of far-right extremist group Britain First have been jailed for anti-Muslim hate crimes after targeting people they incorrectly believed were involved in an ongoing rape trial.
Andrew Bolt spends an inordinate amount of time focising on and blaming Indigenous Australians for their own problems. They are Aborigines, culturally poor and a waste taxpayers hard earned money. Should we be surprised at the silence Bolt keeps about the money that's actually stolen from them. He cries over $150 million dollars he says is wasted but makes no mention of the 2 Billion stolen from them. That $150 billion might just be a part of the money he calls wasted and missing.
There has been nothing but silence after The Australian revealed the NT Government kept over $2 billion of its Indigenous aid budget. The scathing report from The Australian came at a time when all eyes were on the NT after a shocking case of child sexual abuse hit Tennant Creek. The NT is facing a mountain of problems right now. From Indigenous health to housing, unemployment to education. Indigenous communities really need all the help they can get. The situation is nothing short of a national disgrace. While many people have their fingers pointed directly at Aboriginal communities, no one seems to be questioning the $2 billion of Indigenous funding that was taken out of Indigenous aid budgets by the NT Govt. Can you honestly say that problems would be so bad in these communities if the $2 billion was invested like it was supposed to be?
CNN recently obtained internal documents sent to local Sinclair TV stations requiring them to run 60- to 75-second promos that attack mainstream media outlets. Sinclair journalists shared concerns with CNN, calling the promo requirements “inappropriate” and “manipulative.” An internal document calls for one or two anchors at each local station to criticize national media outlets for allegedly pushing “fake stories” and “personal bias.” One Sinclair anchor said, “I felt like a POW recording a message.”

No safe Schools for Andrew Bolt, We've achieved equality we jus need policing conversion and retraining practices readily available to all forms of exceptional behavior deemed deviant with particular focus down the social ladder and on voices and actions demanding any radical form of social change. Individual eccentricities may in some cases and contexts be tolerated and go unnoticed.

Bolt's so-called 'reasoned debate' doesn't even begin to answer the question as to why the "butcher of Falluja attacked the Falluja hospital with coalition troops carrying their favored weapons Kalashnikovs. Why he insured a city of 50,000 people was put in siege and families bombed. Children in desparate need of medicine and treatment were disallowed it .
Why was Molan called "the butcher"? Andrew Bolt, seems to think it was that some form of Liberation indearment? So accordingly to ask is a "sick" question. In reality however the sick were in that hospital, women and children deprived of medical treatment and a city of 30-50,000 people intentionally trapped by Molan, locked in, and ordered to be bombed. Bolt declares the sickness is talking about it and 'unfair' in the course of the debate. of course, he does.
The real question here is why does Andrew Bolt feel the need to defend the media he when his wife so stridently attacked the media for reporting their son James worked for the IPA? Is this some sort of split in this family an secret embarrassment?
The nature of social mobility in the Bolt family has been known for years proving the old adage of 'it's who you know not what that's more important'. Bolt himself married his way up the social ladder having dropped out or failed Adelaide Uni he had little opportunity to do otherwise. Is this the well-kept secret in their family closet not revealed?
Until recently Bolt himself tried to convince us all he was educated at Adelaide Uni he wasn't and with all the bruhaha about Fake News it's now mysteriously disappeared but it still leaves the question wide open has Bolt or his son earned their positions on merit ladder?
It's difficult for Bolt to argue for privacy given he is an avid News Corp media man who works for a company that certainly doesn't respect it.
This issue is not just is not just a matter of fact Bolt would have no job if privacy was agreed upon today as it once was. He works for Rupert Murdoch whose organization is famous for bugging peoples lives. Murdoch has never earned the respectability he once had in the UK because of his invasion of privacy. Bolt's simply defending the morals of an organization that thrives on its invasion even in illegal ways, not just ethical ones
It seems to me Adam Bandt was merely repeating what was was already in print and not starting anything. As the saying goes " where there's smoke there's fire" Molan is a politician now and another old saying goes " if you can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen" Bolt's post above this one openly declares Barnaby has no privacy so why does Molan. If he's threatening to sue shouldn't he be suing Sarah?
Bolt doesn't deal in trends and when the heads of both the AFP and ASIO said there isn't a significant terrorist problem in Australia Bolt certainly spent an enormous amount of energy calling them conspirators to a lie. That's a fact and not Fake News. But like all liars trained in the Murdoch news culture Bolt flips it trying to suggest Duncan Lewis was suggesting a trend existed and was agreeing with him because three cases were refugees or children of refugees or if Bolt had his way refugees, children of refugees or children of children of refugees. Bolt seems to be desperately trying to struggle to make his point here almost as he does when he declares he's more indigenous that Australians of Aboriginal heritage.
Bolt really does equivocate as to who is or isn't an Australian a Refugee a Christian and more often and not just grabs identities and uses them for political bullshit. Sorry, Bolt the last two white men to hit the headlines for anger and terror against society happened to be very white Australians using cars as weapons of destruction. Just because they haven't been charged under the "terrorist act" doesn't make them pussycats. Just as the removal of Aboriginal children from their families are recorded as intervention doesn't mean they weren't Stolen and that recorded history which Bolt defends so much isn't Fake News
He observed "powerful elements of right-wing politics" had abandoned the liberal tradition in favour of "a belligerent, intolerant populism which shows no respect for either the rights of individual citizens or the traditional institutions which protect them". Senator Brandis did not name Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton in his speech, but delivered a pointed barb at Mr Dutton's recent disparaging of "un-Australian" lawyers and "weak" judges.
"I have not disguised my concern at attacks upon the institutions of the law - the courts and those who practice in them," he said. "To attack those institutions is to attack the rule of law itself."
Isn't Dutton and the conservatives with media support from News Corp doing a Trump and undermining the fundamental institutions of Australia and not just our values?
1h Isn't Bolt ahead of himself hear talking about Human Rights in a country that has no Bill of Rights under its constitution. So right or wrong the decision in the first instance is left up to those in power. Isn't that the reason the Indigenous of Australia is on the bottom of the social scale in this country if gauged on any social indicator. A further fact is people racists like Bolt blame them for their condition. Blame their visibility because they're black, their culture despite it being interfered with by whites. Bolt seems to take pleasure on raising red flags on minority events in this and other countries as if they are central and changing trend in this country. He turns to the 2% of Sharia Law that provides advice on punishment in Islam as if it's the central core of Sharia while ready to verbally stone those that don't uphold his values particularly values of the extreme right. Bolt's values have been aired publicly and demand Christians and true believers fight back as he did in Carlton threatening and executing acts of GBH simply because he got away with it. Burqas aren't central to or even a part of Islam the judge may as well have demanded only people in suits be allowed in his court he has the power in Australia where there are no Human Rights when Bolt falsely claims there are.'Bikini baristas' in Washington are told to cover up – is it an issue of free speech?
