Anyone trying to tell the truth is maligned, what there is might be found in a small paragraph on page 6 or simply ignored.

 

This isn’t splashed across the front pages of our MSM why? It certainly however indicates their right-wing, top-down propaganda bias. Morrison’s promised ICAC has been discarded. Australia’s international corruption index has blown out and Super and wage theft have been let run free and workers and their families have lost billions.

Nine years ago we were voted best economy on the planet and our Treasurer was voted the world’s best and we had just faced the GFC and won. 9 years of LNP government later and Frydenberg is telling us we are still the worlds best economy when the world says we aren’t.

Our privately owned MSM is proving to be the Australian equivalent of Russian State Media a propaganda machine. It might well be criticizing Scott Morrison but it sure as hell isn’t criticizing the L-NP for dragging this country down economically and reputationally on every social metric. What criticism there is, is minimal and isn’t calling for a necessary change of government. Quite the opposite in fact. The truth is staring us in the face are we better off under a Morrison/LNP than we were under a Gillard lead ALP? Economy. Health, Education, Wealth, Housing, Corruption, Broken Promises, Discrimination, Racism, WelFare, and Climate let’s be the judge and not the fake news!

On March 3, as Russian military forces bombed Ukrainian cities as part of Vladimir Putin’s illegal invasion of his neighbor, the Kremlin sent out talking points to state-friendly media outlets with a request: Use more Tucker Carlson. “It is essential to use as much as possible fragments of broadcasts of the popular Fox News host Tucker Carlson, who sharply criticizes the actions of the United States [and] NATO, their negative role in unleashing the conflict in Ukraine, [and] the defiantly provocative behavior from the leadership of the Western countries and NATO towards the Russian Federation and towards President Putin, personally,” advises the 12-page document written in Russian. It sums up Carlson’s position: “Russia is only protecting its interests and security.” The memo includes a quote from Carlson: “And how would the US behave if such a situation developed in neighboring Mexico or Canada?”

When Scotty left his job with Tourism New Zealand, then sports minister Trevor Mallard laid the blame for problems at the Office of Tourism and Sport squarely with Morrison. Australian standards of public sector behaviour “are lower than ours,” Mallard told the NZ Herald. “My experience with Australian politicians is that rules and ethics are not as important to them as they are to New Zealanders.” Sorry, but this lot make me feel far from secure.

Morrison defends Colbeck that he actually attended the Senate Committee "Many Many Times". However, Fact Check shows he attended 2/55 times. 3% is now Many Many according to the leader of this country. Is Morrison a liar?

As we noted in our research in 2019 and 2020, a total of $783 million was removed from ABC funding between 2014 and 2022.

As the table below shows, these accumulated funding losses include a series of budget announcements, cancelled funding contracts, reduced or ended specific programs and implemented major cuts.

In fact, taking into account the government’s latest announcement, we now calculate the ABC’s accumulated lost funding from fiscal years 2014-15 to 2024-25 will reach a staggering $1.201 billion.

ABC still facing $1.2 billion in losses over a decade

 

 

 

Why has Australia gone backward in the past decade in comparison to the rest of the world? Investment in the long term and the future seems unnecessary to the LNP.

The difference between “media” and actual journalism is the root of the misinformation crisis. We’re drowning in content that is increasingly valued only for its potency in the political wars, rather than judged on its factual merits and its choice of targets. That kind of media content strays farther and farther from reality because it’s about entertaining and inflaming rather than educating and informing.

The answer to misinformation, then, is not some censorship regime, and it’s not more intense fan culture around individual media icons so that everything is a self-enriching culture war between cable TV pundits and Spotify hosts.

The answer is an audience that actually values accurate and necessary information, even if it offends their preconceived notions — an audience that runs away from corporate media outlets that force-feed them lies and liars, and runs toward news organizations that report hard truths.

That’s the kind of news organization we’re working to build here. And we know it’s going to take a long time to build a true independent and trustworthy Fourth Estate in the wreckage of a corporate media landscape, where the flames of bullshit smolder and suffocate the discourse.

But that’s the only way forward.

Fake News

Racist, Ageist, Genderist, Discriminationist, Sexist, Elitist Andrew Bolt takes offense. Offense that 2 women spoke out against men and in particular Scott Morrison and the systems of oppressive behavior men perpetuate. It happened at the NPC and women in attendance cheered. Cheered as blacks do against whites insisting Black Lives Matter. They were basically saying Women's Lives Matter and were fundamentally railing against our current entrenched patterns of behavior regarded as the "normal" by privileged white Australian  men. Systems historically established which  have continued to slowly evolve but not change over time, remaining oppressive, restrictive and unequal to persons other than males.

Morrison's response is having Jenny defend him on 60 minutes.Bolt on Sky News and the full corporate MSM propaganda machine coming down in force as Bolt once did with Yassmin Abdel-Magied. However Morrison and Bolt will fail because unlike Yassmin these women are white and not Muslim or immigrants and both were born here and are here to stay and not be forced to leave. Bolt's argument is wafer thin given the roar of approval by women around Australia who saw not betrayal but two women brave, strong and intelligent women giving expression to all women's victim hood. Just the way Miranda Devine once did to Andrew Bolt and made him look the fool on 2GB.

We have heard Bolt complaining how he suffers because he's the only breadwinner in "his" family. How he lies to "protect" his wife. How he has to take "them" to Bali and basically do things he doesn't want to do but is obliged to as they like his dogs. They are slack and he's the hero who carries them on his broad shoulders despite their heaviness. No mention of the domestic violence he has made them suffer. He has put them under psychological stress because he has a home office and as a media warrior has been threatened with violence in the past. So much so he's had to move house to protect himself and his family. Despite knowing this has never moved his office never stopped working from home and has accepted the threat but has expected his wife an kids to shoulder his paranoia too. Something they certainly don't deserve other than being tied to Andrew Bolt.

 What we saw at the National Press Club yesterday - Grace Tame and Brittany Higgins spitting venom at the Prime Minister as a room full of women whooped and cheered - was not just disgusting but a betrayal of their supposed cause. ( Andrew Bolt)

When the world judged Australia the best economy and Wayne Swan the best treasurer during the GFC the L-NP bellowed they were the worst. Now when world comparisons with other nations show their 8-year slide Barnaby Joyce makes out they are the better managers. Yes, Barnaby Joyce who showed us he couldn’t manage his own life let alone the nation's is running point guard for Scott Morrison who has a history of sackings for bad management. It’s time, time for his third sacking.

The opposition is ahead 56-44 on a two-party-preferred basis – the Coalition’s worst polling performance since September 2018 – according to the latest Newspoll survey conducted for The Australian newspaper. As the coronavirus pandemic drags on, Labor has increased its lead since the last poll on December 6 when it was ahead 53-47. Labor’s primary vote is up three points to 41 per cent while the Coalition has dropped two points to 34 per cent. For the first time, more voters surveyed thought Labor was better placed to steer Australia out of the COVID-19 pandemic (33 per cent) compared with the coalition (32 per cent). Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce said the pandemic made things tough but economic growth and a low unemployment rate were signs of good economic management.

Donald Trump, retired former blogger and twice impeached loser, had a rally of some sort in Texas on Saturday night. It was filled with the usual “lock her up” chants, conspiracy theories, lies, and right wing hysteria. One section really stood out to me, though.

Trump is doing what America and American governments have done since WW2. He demanded to be America’s first Public Dictator and has called for an army to anoint him as such.

America tried to do it in Vietnam, Nicaragua, Afghanistan and lost but by and large were successful in El Salvador , Honduras, Panama, Chile throughout the Americas and so many other countries around the world in open defiance of any UN resolutions. They have defended Israel and other client states allowing them to do the same. It was just business. Now a Despot, the mirror image of what they wanted, and allowed in so many other countries, has been provided with the same opportunity that successive American governments offered others and he's tearing a nation that was always being stretched apart.

John Dean, 83, was White House counsel from 1970 to 1973 before being disbarred and detained as a result of the Watergate scandal, which led to Nixon’s resignation in 1974. Dean responded to Trump on Twitter. “This is beyond being a demagogue to the stuff of dictators,” he wrote. “He is defying the rule of law. Failure to confront a tyrant only encourages bad behaviour. If thinking Americans don’t understand what Trump is doing and what the criminal justice system must do we are all in big trouble!”

Marshall McCluhan a devout Catholic defined Morrison's style of "pressers" as "not hot" but "cool" more propaganda than information and definitely fake News to appease the ears of the converted or his "tribe" according to Foucault. It's all just "culture wars" as far as Morrison is concerned there aren't any real material facts. 

Morrison is simply scared of losing any more LNP moderates while not ruffling the nutters in Joyce's Right-Wing National Party. He needs them all to stay inside his camp to maintain a majority government. Particularly the moderates for having moved so far right to appease the absolute extremists in the Coalition. He was prepared to kick a silent antivaxxer Djokovic out of the country but he keeps the loud George Christensen, Canavan, and others in his Party Room close. Morrison brags about one and stays shtum or whispers on the others. Yet, he is, or was happier to see the real Liberals like Banks, O'Dwyer, Bishop leave. 

Morrison is no fan of public service and leaves servicing the public up to private enterprise as reward to his donors. He shuns the ABC in favor of Peter Costello's 2GB and Murdoch's Sky. His CV shows he doesn't hold the hose and never has preferring others to do the work while he networks. That way hes Teflon and nothing has ever been his fault even when the shit hits the fan. Hot News is according to McCluhan the critical and rational analysis of facts, comparative statistics, actions in context, and history that test or are a yardstick to what Morrison says the government is doing. When applied Real News is the enemy of the Morrison Government who can fool the electorate some of the time but not all of it as Morrison constantly does.

In among a string of election campaign failures, Morrison had a regular habit of leaving or being pushed out of jobs before his contracts were finished.There were two stints that have, perhaps understandably, been scrubbed from his Wikipedia page.

The first was a period at big four consulting group KPMG in 2000, where he was attempting to start up a tourism practice.

The second was an ill-fated turn as the strategic director for the campaign of New South Wales Liberal leader Peter Debnam during his failed 2007 election bid.A self-styled “marketer” (he actually has a Bachelor of Science in applied economic geography from UNSW) Morrison instead hired others to do the marketing work, according to a number of people that worked with him in his various tourism jobs, while he focused largely on the networking.

This networking brought him into contact with Liberal grandees who promoted him ever higher, until he landed in — or rather was parachuted into — federal parliament in 2007.

Any wonder Greg Hunt is getting out of Politics. His electorate is much wiser. Businesses and the Media are at fault not the LNP

Health Minister Greg Hunt has accused businesses of lying about desperately needed supplies of rapid COVID tests being seized by the federal government. There have been multiple claims from Australian businesses that they have been told by wholesalers that orders of rapid tests for workplaces have been diverted to fulfil government orders. On Wednesday, the South Australian government also said it had asked regulators to investigate reports of its RATs had been improperly diverted to other states. But in Canberra on Thursday Mr Hunt emphatically denied suppliers’ claims that orders of the scarce tests were being requisitioned by the government. “They are lying. That is why I am reporting them to the ACCC,” he said.

Whilst Labor’s policies are preferable to the Coalition’s, they fall far short of what must be done. We cannot afford the timidity shown by the two major parties who bow to pressure from vested interests and are paralysed by fear of reprisal from their colleagues as much as from the electorate. Nor can we afford the denial from Barnaby’s mob and the Pauline and Clive cults. When Labor form government, the necessity for action will only be greater and the voices demanding it even louder. I hope they are ready.

How dare LNP politicians be questioned, or their integrity be doubted by any Independent body other than the LNP itself. The LNP have set the standard. Could Morrison have set that any lower? Politicians have a hard job as it is and don't need it to be harder.  Royal Commissions are there to investigate the Left because unlike Morrison, Frydenberg, Dutton, Tudge, or Berejiklian Liberals the ALP lie and the Liberals attest to that and along with Morrison, Frydenberg and others sworn to it publicly on Sky, 2GB and 2AW and all the private media monkeys competing for their election advertising business..

  So,what else is necessary to say other than Gladys didn't know?  The fact she didn't want to know or hear, what deals her boyfriend of 7 years was doing and was heard telling him is of no consequence.  With eyes wide shut she signed off on large grants for un-recommended and un-advised projects which had failed to win favor for years. She was heard to say "don't worry I'll fix it. Furthermore deals where commissions were hoped for were instructed not to be discussed. 

 It seems a common trait among Liberals Morrison also claimed he didn't know or want to even hear  his best friends were QAnon members. He even employed the family and expects us to believe that these besties who he holidayed with didn't have his ear. If true, it says a lot about Morrison and his attitude to mate-ship doesn't it? That it's merely transactional and never up close and personal. How Trump that sounds very much like a grifter rather than the true blue Australian mateship he projects on his photoshoots. Why would the Australian PM do laps at Bathurst when his party fucked the Australian motor industry? Any wonder he was loudly booed

Scott Morrison’s attacks on NSW’s ICAC and endorsement of embattled former premier Gladys Berejiklian to join federal politics have intensified, with the Prime Minister saying she would be a “great” candidate, despite an ongoing corruption investigation.Senior Liberals are escalating their public calls for Ms Berejiklian to switch from NSW politics to Canberra – despite a cloud hanging over her knowledge of corruption by ex-boyfriend Daryl Maguire – in the face of a huge community campaign from Warringah incumbent Zali Steggall.And even as the federal government stalls its plans for a Commonwealth integrity body, Mr Morrison has again attacked the NSW anti-corruption watchdog, hinting that an adverse finding against Ms Berejiklian wouldn’t scupper any bid for high office.“I think she would be great. The way that Gladys Berejiklian has been treated has been shameful,” PM Morrison said on Monday.gladys berejiklian icacMs Berejiklian gives evidence to ICAC in October.“I don’t call that justice.”

Let’s be clear here. It was Gladys that mixed work and play. It was Gladys that chose to keep the relationship secret rather than manage the conflict of interest transparently. It was Gladys that overruled departmental advice to, instead, award grant money to bolster her partner’s political standing. As Gladys so arrogantly said in her defence, “I don’t think it would be a surprise to anybody that we throw money at seats to keep them. At the end of the day, whether we like it or not, that’s democracy.” Pork barrelling is not illegal, but it certainly isn’t democracy either.

TRUMP SURVIVES. HYPOCRITES LOSE

The Democrats, cheered on the media, tried to convict Donald Trump of incitement ... and failed. Good. This was a show trial driven by the most shameless hypocrites, who only now are against political violence, fake claims of election fraud and heated rhetoric.

Andrew Bolt is Australia's worst commentator. Is he referring to Republicans or Democrats here? Do his comments clarify anything or is he just the idiot yelling na na na over the fence?   " shameless hypocrites who are only now against political violence, fake claims of election fraud and heated rhetoric" It certainly seems he is.

Despite the fact that it was well documented that when asked  Trump refused to do anything for 2 hours admonishing Senator McCarthy for even asking him to quell the riot. The violence was staring him in the face and he was loving it.  Republicans and his aides who were in the room watching were witness to Trump getting his rocks off watching what was happening on TV. 

Democrats were fully aware that Trump would be found not guilty. However the process was necessary for it to be indelibly recorded in history and if Bolt believes the Democrats lost then he's missed the boat, lost the plot entirely and can't grasp the fact America has lost and Trump has only just survived a battle but not the war. Criminals aren't entitled to run for office in the USA and Trump has many more battles on that score ahead of him.
 

What Bolt fails to realise is that Liberal Democracy and American Dream has continued to be  flushed down the toilet. It began after the GOP took control of the Senate after Obama's first term and the Tea Party took over from the conservatives to declare only one America existed and it was theirs and theirs at at all costs. Trump was an opportunist who knew he could promise everything deliver nothing and still tap into a White American Dream Lost. But it couldn't be done in the framework of any Liberal Democratic framework but only a fraudulent one in which Voter Supression was the the main focus. The "For the People Act" should put an end to Trump's ambitions. History will take care of his past.

 

EVERY KIND OF DIVERSITY AT THE ABC EXCEPT OF OPINION

The ABC says productions must now ensure  the inclusion of “under-represented people and perspectives” so the ABC is "sounding like contemporary Australia”. Really? More than half of the taxpayers who fund the ABC prefer Liberal over Labor. Will the ABC soon sound more like this "contemporary Australia"? 

More than half the ABC taxpayers who fund the ABC vote Liberal on what basis is Bolt pulling that rabbit out of which hat? We know 80% of Australians "trust" the ABC. Is Bolt basing his bit of hyperbole on the fact that the LNP won the election and therefore because they are wealthier are greater ABC funders? Is he admitting to the wealth gap that this country suffers from and therefore the nation should be a Corporate State and all Independant statuary bodies should bow to their financial masters?

  Given Bolt's logic we ought to be a Fascist and not a Democratic state if he had his way. A nation where Corporations and the wealthy deserve to be the biggest tax evaders, white collar criminals and whats more we need to respect them for those skills. Crown Casino's CEO just walked away with $78mill and we should simply accept it. 

We know that  because of his paucity of ratings the Liberals certainly don't watch Andrew Bolt's promotion of them. Maybe he ought to become more like the ABC which like real Conservatives claim to be a big church welcoming dissent and a diversity of ideas. True Conservatives are the very opposite of Andrew Bolt who makes strident and persistent effort to cancel the very reality of our Multicultural Australia and any changes in those inherited White Australian Colonial social structures adopted less than 220 years ago. Bolt has a religious bent in maintaining myths and falsities of our past history and declare the as "truths". 

 

DANIEL ANDREWS HAS FAILED AGAIN. JUST GO

Premier Daniel Andrews is praised for being the toughest Premier in Australia in fighting the coronavirus. In fact, he's the most incompetent. Check the record.

99% of the planet certainly don't think so. We must note Bolt never mention whose the best in his minds eye does he. He was advocating no bans no masks wacky therapeutics and sounding very Trumpish. Now he was a world leader just listen to him tell you just how many American lives he saved. 

Bolt fails to mention when it came to economic recovery which state it was that lead the pack. Who has global admiration for what was accomplished it's certainly not Morrison.

 Morrison Agrees To Bail Out Holden If They Re-Open As An Open-Cut Coal Mine – The Shovel

Scott Morrison has thrown iconic car-maker Holden a lifeline, approving a $200 billion emergency grant to help the troubled carmaker transition into a future-ready coal mine.
Mr Morrison said companies had to find ways to adapt to the realities of the new economy by embracing new technologies, rather than being stuck in the past.
“We’ve seen a lot of upheaval in traditional industries like car-making lately. And rather than seeing these companies leave Australia, we want to help them transition to the industries of the future,” Mr Morrison said.
“Our vision is for Australia to become the fossil fuel centre of the world. It’s very exciting”.
The Prime Minister said he would be open to a phased strategy that saw Holden initially switch to making coal-powered cars, before transitioning fully into a large-scale coal facility. “Australia would be the only country in the world producing coal-fired cars,” he said.
Coal mining is a big employer in Australia, with the Adani mine alone set to employ eleven people.


 

Coronavirus, Chinese students and the university cash quagmire

 

While Australian politicians mock Chinese companies and political authoritarianism, wishing to keep the People's Republic of China distant, they are relieved at each coal or iron ore shipment that finds its way into the Chinese market. The same goes for enrolments from Chinese students, which have become a form of welfare for Australian higher education.
The Education Consultant Association of Australia has found – via a survey done between February 5 and 9 on WeChat – that 32% of the 16,000 students surveyed are happy to enrol in another country if they cannot commence studies in first semester this year. The UK, Canada and the United States all feature as credible “redirection destinations”. The UK comes in most favourably at 58%, Canada at 31% and the United States at 6%.

 Andrew bolt will love the undeserved attention Kaye Lee has brought him. However, you don't need to look deeply to find she's right as Andrew Bolt hasn't had an original idea since he joined News Corp. All have been nicked from others and very rarely acknowledged.

The man claims to have been educated at Adelaide Uni he wasn't. He claims to have written books he hasn't unless a claim to a rehashed collection of his less than a 1000 word essays count as "books" these days. He's what Abbott hoped Bjorn Lomborg would be planted on an Australian University campus a denier dressed as an academic running the Copenhagen Climate Council in Australia in order to support Abbott's central thesis that Climate Change is "crap". That's the real extent of these Kelly's Molan's and Abbott's logic. Today Twiggy Forrest wants to kidnap all the research with his $50 mill Foundation and control it.  Rupert Murdoch has self-interest driving his Climate Change denials and the urgent need for CO2 reduction he's a director heavily invested in Genie Oil and hopes to be one of the planets greatest emitters.

Kaye Lee is being polite calling Bolt just a "pretentious pretender" he's a lot more than that and far more dangerous. He's not an internationalist or a globalist by any means but a nationalist he's certainly anti-multiculturalism Western Culture is his elected best and he has no hesitation it ought to be pan-global or untainted within what we know today as settler nations and specifically here in Australia.

Bolt's inspired by Wagner as a composer, Western History with its inspirational myths. All things that inspire white cultural elitism. Bolt was raised as a wannabe dandy and an aloof cultural elitist that shied away from any notion of a common good, equality, fairness, justice for all in the Australian bush town and country his Dutch mother hated. He's a natural-born fantasist a liar who avoided the fact that he was a born Australian. In his early years, Bolt was a self-admitted misfit and felt it preferring to identify as European and not even a working-class one. 

If one compares Bolt's personal history ideas and looks for similarities with past notables who thought like him better than the rest one can easily draw similarities he shares today with Hitler.

 One only needs to listen to Historian Paul Ham's Conversation with Richard Fiedler on the ABC  about Young Hitler and one can't help notice the personal connections Andrew Bolt has with him. Needless to say, their historic context and Bolt's lack of charisma guarantee the difference but little else. It's no surprise Bolt is such a Trumpster.  https://www.abc.net.au/radio/programs/conversations/conversations-paul-ham-2018/9935968

 FAKE NEWS

 Here is the proof that Bolt is everything and more of what Kaye Lee claims "
What we don’t need is pompous pretentious asses “pretending” they know what they are talking about."

Bolt makes out we only need to do something about climate change if what we did has an immediate effect. It won't so no need to do anything. No need to do anything about Coronavirus, or anything that might help future generations. That is the essence of Bolt's interest in the common good(ODT)

HOW THE CHIEF SCIENTIST MAKES GOOD GLOBAL WARMING LOOK BAD

Chief Scientist Alan Finkel, a warmist, again admits what sceptics have said for years. First, he admitted that no matter how hard Australia cut its emissions, the effect on the climate would be "virtually nothing". Now he admits global warming causes more plant growth. That's fantastic for crops, but trust Finkel to put it in the most negative way.

Having a go or having a lend?

 

The following is a tale of men who are living testament to the government slogan that “ïf you have a go, you’ll get a go”.
The first is John Maitland.

In 2008, former NSW resources minister Ian Macdonald signed over a valuable coal licence to a company part-owned by former union boss and good friend, John Maitland.

‘If you have a go, you’ll get a go’ could be
 interpreted as ‘Privatise the profits and socialise the costs’ – or how to become a millionaire with the stroke of a pen. (Kaye Lee)

 

Perhaps the speed of the 21st Century really has taken away people’s concentration span, but I keep coming back to the same point. While a clever brain can hold two points of view simultaneously while working out an answer, lesser minds usually seek a logical consistency that means they don’t frequently swing from one thing to the other without some attempt at a fig-leaf of an explanation.
You know the sort of thing:

The Murdoch press will ignore everything that he puts out and back him on the grounds that, as we’ve fallen into recession and the long-awaited surplus hasn’t eventuated, we need a government prepared to make the tough decisions. Various editors will attack Labor for their plans to actually spend some taxpayer money on the taxpayers when it could be better spent by ensuring that newspapers had enough money to continue operating.
Ok, it might not all turn out like I’m suggesting, but given the last few years, would anyone be surprised?

 The Consistent Narrative Of Barnaby Joyce And Dorothea Mackellar - » The Australian Independent Media Network

LNP

Barnaby digs for coal on the moral high ground. How did we get here?

Barnaby Joyce and Matt Canavan make a podcast.

 Meanwhile, it is the pro-coal Nationals, led by Joyce and Canavan, who have fled to the high moral ground on climate change. They can take no refuge in science, reason, or economics for their position. But they can fall back on what they frame as a moral division between the city and country folk.


 

Earth Just Saw The Hottest January On Record

FAKE NEWS


Thirteen years ago Andrew Bolt was trying to convince us the planet was cooling and wasn't warming now he says he's always agreed he just simply wasn't an "alarmist". Today he's never been a climate denier only misunderstood. Because he's never really been referring to man-made climate change which along with Tony Abbott believe it's "crap". Strange you never really see them in the same room discussing whether it's "crap or not do you?
As for Greenland's largest glacier, Bolt loves to "sensationalise " and at the same time not tell the full story. That the science spent 4 years studying fluctuations on a downward path. Bolt tries hard to convince us they mean "growth." An old trick of his which he used to use when telling us the plant was "cooling". He is such a wanker!!
In early August, the OMG team arrived in Greenland to begin its fourth year of ocean surveys to see how the water is changing. The start of this year’s survey came on the heels of a record melting event in late July and early August. The team again dropped sensors in front of Jakobshavn to see if the water is still cold and whether we can expect another year of growth, or for it to resume retreating. The investigation also examined whether the NAO shift is impacting other glaciers.

TIME ROBYN ",100 METRES," WILLIAMS SAID SORRY

In 2007, the ABC's Robyn Williams claimed seas could rise 100 metres by 2100 if Greenland melted fast. When will he apologise?   Jack Weatherall: "NASA Earth Observatory reports the largest of the Greenland glaciers... has grown substantially in the last three years to June 2019, adding as much as 30 metres thickness per annum."

Bolt continues to preach "reverse racism" claiming a black man in a room full of whites would feel more comfortable than Bolt would in the Coburg market. Melbourne is multicultural, and Andrew Bolt is rarely seen out in public doesn't holiday in Australia locks himself away why is that? History of this country should clearly tell him why. We had, and proudly displayed to the world, that "we" had a "White Australia Policy" that reflected the feelings of Australians. Any righteous anger was to be simply ignored. We were culturally anti-Semitic as well and practised it, and any righteous outrage was to be ignored. We were anti- Finian, anti-Catholic, anti- Chinese, and anti- the Asian Pacific region, and any righteous anger was to be ignored.
WASPS ran our institutions our cultural and Social clubs and refused to accept Australia as a Multicultural Nation. Andrew Bolt, the child of Dutch immigrants, whose mother hated the place, climbed the social ladder not by any merit or skill that's obvious he had none but by marriage. He's even admitted he was never raised or felt Australian until his marriage. I doubt he even does today. He says he has now arrived and that he's proud, of it but he's a WASP and how dare "their" righteous anger be ignored. Bolt's feelings aren't a measure of any righteousness whatsoever; they are rooted in systemic and Western cultural bigotry of well over 200 years.

THE NEW "ANTI RACISM": JUDGE NOW BY COLOR

 Note the student's smirk: "This a [Multicultural Student Centre} and frankly there’s just too many white people in here... It does make some of us POCs uncomfortable when we see too many white people in here.” Add that to this list of examples of activists turning "anti-racist" into "anti-white", and "multicultural" into "no white culture".

 ABC represents Australia today where 80% of Australians actually believe in Climate Change, and one can only conclude that if Bolt's figures are correct, then the ABC panel represented the nation. Because sure as hell The Bolt Report doesn't. It spends considerable amounts to support a confused 20% at a tax-deductible loss to the country by a Corporation that's been bleeding money cutting staff and selling news for cash for years. Can Bolt name a single item that he's ever written apart from the shipping news that's been of any benefit to the country?

Q&A STACKS YET ANOTHER PANEL. SCRAP THE ABC NOW

Last week the ABC's flag ship Q&A stacked its panel with five people who all demanded tougher action on global warming, as does the host. Even the singer did. On Monday the Q&A panel will have four people from the Left, with the lone token "conservative" actually a climate-preaching MP from the Liberal Left.  The ABC is out of control.
