Amazing how a ” positive, progressive action” conducted in 2018 can

1) Make it to the Front Page of CH9’s The AGE in 2022 and be declared bad and “ news”

2) "Good" turned on its head is presented as an equivalent of the LNP's regressive vote-buying rorts.  However lets'remind ourselves what the Sikh community has done for Victoria during Covid, the bush fires, and other emergencies. Can that be said of the LNP's gifts?

3) The Age CH9 is giving wind to a disgruntled female politician who happens to be Indian and claiming “Bullying” by the ALP. As a justification she's teamed with Adam Somyarek a corrupt politician currently being sanctioned by the ALP and facing legal action for not having benefited anyone. He's not the ALP.

4) The Age seems to believe there is somehow an equivalence with LNP rorts

Meanwhile, there’s a War going on in Europe, Covid is out of control, But Peter Costello’s Ch9 is running a point guard defensive distraction against Daniel Andrews because Matthew Guy’s Liberals are falling apart at the seams and doing it in front of all Victorians. This is an example of media damage control. It's not news but PR and why we need to SAVE THE ABC

 While Ch9 is stirring up negative images of the Victorian Premier to distract from the shambles of the Vic LNP. Victoria is a favorite destination for Indian Students. China isn't for obvious reasons and that's not due to Dan Andrews who did everything possible not to have us become outright enemies of China as Morrison and Dutton have for their Neanderthal political strategies along with Matthew Guy tagging along. Yet the Age seems curiously blinded by that light and put this "fact" well back in their paper.

India has leapfrogged China as the number one country of origin for foreign students in Victoria, as universities and student accommodation providers report a better-than-expected return of internationals arriving to study in Melbourne. People from India make up a quarter of the 96,300 international student visa holders currently in Victoria, followed by those from China on 19 per cent and Nepal on 7 per cent.

What’s even funnier is Andrew Bolt dreams of retiring on a barge in Amsterdam the land of "Woke" and writing a novel. Let’s never forget it’s just a Walter Mitty dream to placate the guilt of being the most impotent of the Three Amigos who seemingly hate the country. Abbott dreams of being more Britain and Smith American anywhere but Victorian or Friedenberg's Kooyong these days.

In the Herald-Sun, Andrew Bolt managed to blame the war in Ukraine on climate activism, saying “Vladimir Putin would never have dared invade Ukraine if the green movement hadn’t first made Europe look helpless.” The only surprise was Andrew Bolt didn’t also try to blame the Ukraine war on African gangs from Melbourne’s outer suburbs.

Morrison wants to improve Australian manufacturing  

85 to 73 since the LNP became government

This 12-point drop is, along with Hungary’s fall from 55 to 43, equal worst among the 38 nations in the OECD – the economies with institutions and cultures most comparable to Australia.

New Zealand, by comparison, has consistently been in the top three, with scores between 88 and 91.

Based on studies correlating corruption indices with economic impacts, I estimate the difference between Australia’s 2012 and 2021 ratings equates to 0.6% lower economic growth.

This translates to about 60,000 extra new jobs and an extra A$10 billion in government revenue a year.

Support for the Coalition and ALP has not changed in the latest Newspoll despite Prime Minister Scott Morrison experiencing a week to forget in Parliament. Surveying 1526 voters nationally between February 9 and 12, the exclusive poll for The Australian newspaper released on Sunday night found the Coalition’s primary vote remains on a record low of 34 per cent as Labor continues to peak on 41 per cent. But a three-point slump for the Greens (11 per cent to 8 per cent) and a corresponding rise in support for independents and minor parties to a record 14 per cent left the two-party-preferred result at 55-45.

Matthew Guy is desperately trying to whitewash and rehabilitate a past that never happened. His teacher Scott Morrison who has been doing it for years. A one time leader of a political party who crashed like Tim Smith drunk on entitlement who not only believed he was born to rule but represented a small minority of like-minded Victorians who believed they were the only ones entitled to profit. Matthew Guy's record speaks to his belief in that entitlement. However all his current advertising can't hide his CV and personal history of scandals.

Returning Victorian Opposition Leader Matthew Guy carries significant baggage into his contest for government with Premier Daniel Andrews. In his time as planning minister in the Baillieu/Napthine governments between 2010 and 2014, and later in his role as party leader, he was caught up in a string of controversies involving Liberal Party figures, donors or donations.

Politics

Officially launching his campaign for “positivity” on Saturday, Opposition Leader Matthew Guy promised there would be no lockdowns under a Victorian Coalition government. 

Ever slowly, the citizens of the world are coming to the realisation that such vaccines will always risk being imperilled in the absence of fair and equal distribution across the globe. Given the freedom to mutate in unvaccinated populations, more variants of SARS-CoV-2 will emerge to penetrate the protective shield. ( Dr Binoy Kampmark)

In the case of Covid Matthew Guy is doomed to fail. With Omnicron rising, the EU, UK, and USA surging and hospitals faltering Matthew Guy sounds more like Custer than even Napoleon.

Multiculturalism has been an undeclared boon to the LNP. Their pre-election tactic historically has been to fragment and divide electorates in any manner possible and the diversity of multiculturalism is the means, the vehicle, they use to achieve just that. Slice and dice electorates thinly to limit majority unity. The ALP on the other hand works to unify that working family majority made up of diverse cultures. They remain consistent with that goal win or lose. 

It's quite the revese when not in election mode. In power or not the LNP are in fact anti-multiculturalists whose ideology is the Assimilationist. The flipside of the coin which demands we all goose step to the same tune. They are in fact cultural Autocrats, Nationalists & bigots. The LNP rarely appeals to any underlying material data, facts or rational analysis to present progressive policies. But rather they target emotions,cultural difference and basic fears instead. The ALP battle is to find a pathway through the emotional and cultural labrynth in an effort to unite us and formulate the progressive, material policies to benefit us all.

 There was a time when politics, our Democracy, saw a battle being fought for the center. Today it seems the LNP has moved to the extreme right where power for powers sake has become the only prize and their service only dictated for and by the wealth of their donors and the media who run a cash for comment and profit point guard business like Murdoch media globally. 

The ALP is the only party with a will to still fight for Democracy but with one arm tied behind it's back in a fight against the extreme right, money and media. The LNP 's dream is today is to regulate Voter ID, rid us of compulsory voting and the independant critical eye of the ABC who is there to vet whoever is in power. Because the LNP like the American Republicans, Orban, Erdogen, and Putin aren't prepared to accept loss a fundamental without which Liberal Democracies can't exist. 

How can we forget Abbott's war cry of Nope Nope Nope to any Democratic compromise? He ran second in history to Gorton for the least Bills passed by any government. Gillard on the other hand came close to setting the record for the most and with a minority government. She accepted service in the name of the people. Morrison has spat the dummy and simply stepped aside.

 NEED TO KNOW- LNP AGED CARE BILL

Just when you think this government can’t get any more sneaky. In a  Human Rights Denied,virtually unnoticed move, the Coalition government has snuck an alarming last-minute amendment into an aged care bill before Parliament that removes the legal and human rights of aged care residents. The amendment removes the civil and criminal protections to which all other Australians are entitled. If a member of the public is restrained without their consent, the perpetrator can be charged. In contrast, an aged care resident who is restrained without their consent will have no legal recourse. Then the government has the gall to try to claim that this amendment relates to a recommendation of the Aged Care Royal Commission, when it is the complete opposite of what the royal commissioners recommended.

 False Flag definitely not ANTIFA but certainly anti-DAN.

“The movement,” says Deakin University senior research fellow Josh Roose, “is riddled with far-right and alt-right extremists who, with their growing reach through social media and in the context of developments in the US and Europe, pose one of the more significant challenges to Australian democracy in recent memory.”

 The Prime Minister has said he will propose the government’s own version. Lambie scoffs at this: “That’s not an ICAC, that’s a feather duster.”

 three examples of Morrison government ministers who were engulfed in controversy and left or lost their posts, but were later appointed to other ministry positions: Christian Porter, Linda Reynolds and Bridget McKenzie. “People here,” she says, gesturing at Parliament House, “are untouchable. The people are onto ’em, it’s in their face, and they’re sick of it.”

 Morrison seems more intent on protecting politicians from scrutiny than on delivering a meaningful anti-corruption commission. If he won’t deliver, the task would pass to the next government.

When you have rorts and corruption and do nothing about it during your term in office and before an election what you do have is a TRIAL RUN

The nation is rudderless in the face of growing storm

  If preparing to create laws that allow MPs to sue and defend "at tax payer expense" while allowing parliamentary privilege to stand isn't enough. Morrison is trying to stop class action suits against corporations and is determined avoid any ICAC body with teeth.  LNP  is a one-way street named Autocrat and it's Morrison daring the voter to try and sue him or his friends. Let's not forget he's the guy whose best friends are reported to be QAnon and he and his wife employed and holidayed with them them. To say he didn't know is a stretch too far. Does saying that make me a troll?

Matthew Guy might entertain a secret wish that Scott Morrison loses the next federal election. Although the PM will not be taking the Victorian Liberals wishes into account, the next federal election date has major ramifications for Matthew Guy. If – as looks likely – the Morrison government is tossed out, then that assists the state Liberals. If Anthony Albanese wins, the new PM and his team recruit and cherry-pick the best staff from all the ALP states. Andrews’ advisers, working for the pre-eminent ALP premier, will be much sought after, leaving him relying on a new team in a state election year. Meanwhile, Matthew Guy will have an abundance of battle-hardened Liberal evacuees from Canberra looking to ply their trade, which re-invigorates a tired state Liberal Party. But the federal scene is not pretty for the Morrison [almost minority] government, and Victoria looks particularly ugly. Of the 21 “marginal”, Liberal-held seats to defend, the biggest clump of seven are in Victoria, then four in NSW, four in Queensland, three in WA, two in Tasmania and only one in SA. That is why Dan Andrews will accuse Scott Morrison of being the PM for NSW whenever he can. Inexplicably the PM is giving Andrews ample opportunities.

News Corp Calls For Urgent Action On Y2K Bug

 

The recent megastorm that left 49 dead, devastating Louisiana and parts of Mississippi before leaving sections of the Northeast underwater, has been widely characterized by climate scientists as a climate event — but Fox News has not covered it that way. In fact, one of its news programs, America's Newsroom, even cut away from a news conference on the aftermath of Hurricane Ida in New York, complaining that the commentary had turned “political" after several officials mentioned climate change.

This response by Fox News in the face of overwhelming scientific evidence and devastating climate events is par for the course. And it’s the foundation of the network’s persistent attacks -- across “opinion” and “straight news” programming -- on any proposed actions to reduce our carbon emissions and transition to a clean-energy economy.

The new climate “pledge” from the Murdochs is straight from the fossil fuel playbook

Morrison has always thought he was “special” and has a history of doing what others wouldn’t and trying to make out it’s “normal”. It’s the character of the man who claims to be a PM that excuses him of being like us. This Scott Morrison is what’s called a very “a cheap shot”

“It’s not that he doesn’t deserve to see his kids, but so does every other Australian, and I think when your people are doing it tough, you’ve got to do it tough too,” he said. “You can’t have one rule for Mr Morrison and another rule for everyone else. I just think it’s appalling judgement.”

WHAT REALLY SCARES US ABOUT IMMIGRATION

The Prime Minister now says he might cut permanent immigration to Australia. He says the roads and trains are too crowded. True, but I suspect most Australians are privately worried more about things like today's news: three Turkish Australians arrested on terrorism charges, and new statistics on the incredible crime rate of African Australians. 

10m
No what really is scary at times like this it's not that Andrew Bolt has high ratings he doesn't but he's part of a media machine that does and it doesn't just report news it creates the news Day in day out. It's rolling thunder and spreads across the country and Bolt is just another spiggot in one of the cogs of a never-ending onslaught. If he lies prints false statements it doesn't matter because there's simply more to come to drain and persuade you might turn him off but News Corp is still there and you can't turn it's message off because even the ABC along with all other MSM are sucked into its draft and are taken on board without really questioning what's really happening.
To do that one needs to stop and think and that's what's not allowed because time is money and money is power and power pays to maintain the gist of the narrative. The biggest mistake was made when in 2013 the nation under the influence of Murdoch of course and the ALP allowed Tony Abbott to slip through the door. That's what really scares us and watch Bolt put his foot on the accelerator peddle of the tank and rolling thunder unlike the tank driver in Tiannaman Square that stopped for a student with a flower Bolt will go straight over the top of anyone in the way. Women and children aren't given any grace. Today is an example of what Murdoch's machine does globally.

MORRISON KIND-OF OFFERS TO CUT IMMIGRATION LIKE HE SAID WE SHOULDN'T

It's not even a firm promise from Scott Morrison: "The roads are clogged, the buses and trains are full...  I hear you... Our current permanent intake is almost 30,000 a year below our current cap. So we will look to make an adjustment... next year." Yet Morrison in February smashed Tony Abbott for wanting to cut permanent migration, too.

PAYWALL to the DT
IPSOS Poll showed today that 49% of Australia doesn't want a decrease in immigration in fact 14% do. That comes after years of Murdoch media beating the drum on Muslims, Chinese that have invaded our cities and made them overcrowded. Yes but not by "Immigrants" but by students, tourists and temporarily imported labour 2 mill plus. All this bruha began with outright racism turned into overcrowding and avoiding mention of the LNP's 5-year failure beginning with Abbott to do anything about urban infrastructure. They became Australia's, no, the world's highest-paid does nothing government with nothing more than a handful of reactionary policies that stalled progress and then deflect the blame to Labour and the Labour states. The overcrowding we are experiencing today isn't the result of "failed" immigration policies but the lack of Conservative government's want to move forward.
Abbott will go down in history for ensuring the NBN failed, crippling the ABC, withholding infrastructure funds from Labor states putting the brakes on health and education and flip-flopping about on climate so much so Australia has no energy plan. He said climate science was crap, accepted it and tried to put Lomborg in our Uni's signed us to the Paris agreement then went back to calling it crap again and demanding we withdraw from Paris as if he was never a part of the agreement and withdrew research funds from the CSIRO and our other respected Institutions. That's flip-flopping.

 The only power policy Abbott had was to stay in power and even that failed but unlike Turnbull, he's still in the game but only for himself. MPs, Business, the Finance Sector and even his electorate have deserted him but he's wedged himself in. The call for a cut in immigration remains a disguise for an attempt to return Australia to a White Christian Anglo-Colonial nation it once was the problem nobody but refugees are begging to come or want to be part of Abbott's British monarchy in the middle of Asia. So he's now pushing Brexit and interfering in the politics of the UK
In the meantime, we are encouraging tourists to come and stay longer providing them with working visas and importing labour. What Dutton's been doing is simply been shifting deck chairs on SS Immigration relabelling whose we called immigrant and not really changing population numbers only the labels.

Wait: divide that commitment by 35,000 and those $150 packages cost $622.

Currently, the Wayward task force is managing 34 boot campers that Guy is going to throw $5mill at.  These are the kids Dutton and Guy make out are running wild in their thousands in Melbourne with Bolt's assistance calling the police liars. Really only 34 of some 75 school kids is what Bolt says Melbourne the most livable city is terrified of. What's even more curious Bolt doesn't mention most of those are Christians. Australians born and raised here like himself. However, he prefers to have us presume their unwanted refugee Muslims.

WHY A MARXISM CONFERENCE IN MELBOURNE IS SICK

VIDEO Melbourne, Australia's most Left-wing city, is holding yet another conference to promote Marxism, the deadly ideology that's killed some 100 million people already. And just when "Marxist" China spreads its power towards us. My editorial from The Bolt Report.

19/11/2018

More people in the world have read and are reading Marx today than are reading the Bible and Bolt wants that stopped. Melbourne voted the world's most livable city in the world is home to Andrew Bolt who says we are not only the most Left-wing but also the most terrified and overcrowded. He's flipped from welcoming tourists to stranger danger and the Hanson catchphrase of 22 years ago that we are being invaded by China. All this for short-term political gain and bugger the consequences hate is great it divides and ultimately fear rather than reason encourages people to vote for the dark side. Fear is the glue that draws the uncertain to conservatism while analysis reason and education draws them away. The closer to an election you see News Corp 's news heralding danger turning people against each other and fear is the stick to do it with.

WHY THE ISLAMIC STATE IS, ER, NOT

VIDEO Keysar Trad from Islamic Friendship Association says Islamic State isn't Islamic, and its violence isn't endorsed by the Koran it often quotes from in support. From our chat on The Bolt Report.  

19/11/2018
Bolt's Er, Not says it all. Islamic State was all but forgotten after Trump they were defeated and to speak of them as if they still counted was to say Trump and Abbott had failed dismally in their quest. But it's election time again and will be again in May 2019. So what better than to raise the spectre of doom, gloom and fear among us. What better than to find a denier allow him on your show just to knock him down. It really is the act of a smug smart ass bully who has provided Trad space yes but only to mock. Typical of Bolt except when he runs into people like James Matheson who show Bolt up for what he really is or when Andrew Bolt says he's Indigenous, ER, Not.
 

WHO LET THEM IN?

This graphic of crime by African-born criminals - crime that is often high-impact on the victims - show just how unfair our refugee program has been on Australians. How reckless of our politicians to let in people from Third World war zones who'd clearly struggle to fit in, and have crime rates here so astonishingly high.

Peter Hartcher’s vile smear

 

Link SMH

Why on earth has Bolt distorted  a media article only to bring it to our attention that he needs to protect Tony Abbot's good name? He does it so badly, he raises the suspicion that Abbott was being homophobic. The confusion developed because the Australian ambassador to France resigned and it caused a huge flurry in diplomatic circles . Had this not occurred Hartcher's attention would not have been drawn to it. Hartcher begins with the  fact:

"Australia's ambassador to France offered his resignation after an incident while greeting Tony Abbott as he arrived in Paris on Anzac Day."

 Bolt refers to this as his source and in it there is no reference whatsoever to any suggestion of homophobia.   The reference Bolt makes then is to  an interview on 2GB and an accompanied wink. This can't be regarded as a source for this blog as there is  neither a transcript nor an  interviewer mentioned. All we have is Bolt's word for what and how something might or might not have been said in what context we don't know.

What we do know Bolt has taken advantage of it to raise himself yet again as some dragon slayer on behalf of Abbott where I suspect there were only dragons of his own making. Hartcher refers to the confusion  as an issue over protocol in his SMH article. 

What do we get from Bolt? He embellishes it to the nth degree takes it to Timbuktu and back drawing in names from here there and everywhere making out it's been the issue of the month only to wind up in the end where Hartchers article does. That  the issue was  a matter of protocol. Hartcher doesn't even elaborate on the resignation. But Don Quixote Bolt demands an apology about some homophobic smear that certainly isn't in print and at best is rumoured to have been heard on 2GB . In doing so he's made mention that Abbott is not homophobic some three times. The man does protest to much.

 

 

Vote Labor and see the public service bill soar

Bolt doesn't want to see investment in Education which is an investment in the future. He doesn't want to see any improvement in transport in an expanding city. Because it will create jobs which create spending which which creates revenue. Bolt the curmudgeon can only moan a bigger public service a bigger public service. Yes we were the most livable city once until the one term Libs took over and anyone interested read Andrew Bolt. He soon fixed that.

Matthew Guy now there's an ideas man for you 50 ++ high rise towers signed off creating an area  in Melbourne which will be the most dense in the world. He's developers dream creating apartment density and space smaller than Hong Kong.  Buildings will be so close together that residents will have that  midnight  feeling all year round. Between  the previous LNP government and Bolt's PR Melbourne has been dragged down to their level in 12 months. Guys level anyway, he suffers ducks disease.

Remember Ventnor the planning permit overridden and passed for mates that was sprung for what it was a mates deal. It was quickly reversed to save some embarrassment and the government had to pay a secret 3mill + settlement to make it disappear. Well that was all  little Matty's doing.

The Labour National conference hasn't been held and some unnamed Murdoch Journo is pressing Shorten for answers the LNP never provided and don't today. Have we heard what it is Hockey is about do this time round no! other than it will be dull.

 As dull as this post I'm sure.

Now for something interesting YOU WONT HEAR FROM BOLT

 Did you know your tax dollars are paying for BHP’s petrol?

 Tony Abbott Village Idiot

 

Bill Shorten will and won’t on boats

Link Troll Paul does Bolt actually do any work?

Bolt's posted an old very old chestnut here to kick around. You know the one that didn't allow Gillian Triggs the right to criticize the LNP for it's treatment of children on Manus or Nauru because of something they'd done in the past. That deed that exhonerates Abbott for everything he now does or will do. Even Bill Shorten has said it was a job well done and moved on just as Triggs did and in fact we have. What we want to know is

"When will the man do his day job and stop blaming everyone else, and start working in the long-term interests of Australia?…"

ANZAC day is over we don't celebrate it day in and day out as some unnamed Journalist want's to do. Shorten has moved on from the days of polishing Abbott's medals.

The shooters aren’t the victims 

Link Breitbart Ultra Conservative Ezine

I think Mormons were a good choice to highlight just how thick Breitbart is  along with Hawkeye P Bolt's troll and Bolt himself for posting it.

 Given the  core of Mormon faith is missionary work that exposes them to insults up close and personal,tolerance, peace and just having lots of kids. Breitbart's use of them as an example just shows what   a wacko ezine they in fact are. ” Nobody got shot for making that “brave musical.”. Of course they didn't so why state the obvious. Mormons may not be coscientious objectors but they just don't volunteer for a fight either. Have you seen the size of the bouncers in Scientology or the size of guns carried by some Southern Christian sects. Could you guarantee a KKK musical would have the same happy outcome?

Nobody has suggested that Draw Mahammed was illegal however if you know it might strongly offend and give rise to extreme reaction then due consideration should have been given to it's level of provocation and public safety. There's no justification in the words "I told you so" Two men are now dead. What pray tell is the definition of an ambush? Reports are now surfacing that, as is always the case, at least one of the idiots was known to the FBI before the attack.

Inciting religious hatred may not be an illegal act in the US however it is in the UK and a case of vilification might be considered here. It's not unusual for artists to be arrested in Australia because of a public complaint. We always here of police demands for art to be removed from public spaces and exhibitions . These complaints aren't generally from the left they tend to come from the tight arsed right conservatives in the main.  “When it got to the murders, I think I was surprised by that”: An abortion provider’s story -YOU WONT HEAR IT FROM BOLT

 

We cannot keep paying pensions to the rich

 Link Restricted to Murdoch fans only: This is not a blog it remains an unsourced rant.

 

" I say so as someone who will clearly be affected." Bolt bragging as always but says he cant afford the ART.... just a tight arse.

1) union funds out performed the CBA which I believe gave the LNP $ 4mill of our money which they in fact stole from us their clients recently. What did Corman say "forget about the past". That's over generous of him it's our money. 

2) Their CEO is paid more than $8mill and 12 CBA executives shared $50 million not including expenses outlayed on their behalf. Makes whatever Nick Carter is alluding to with the TWU whole board including expenses look like small fry.

The very modern Anthony Trollope

Link The New Yorker Vogue for the brain circulation for those who believe their they are the elite of America. Average age 47, income $106,000

 Bolt made it to the cover in his dreams. Anthony Trollope had "wisdom is to see the good in the bad, the bad in the good,". Bolt is a Trollope because he can't he has no understanding of the dialectic in life

 

 

Newspoll: Labor 52 to Coalition 48

How is it that Newspoll seems always out of wack with the other pollsters? Is it because it's News Corp sponsored? 

Will Clive Palmer sue Andrew Bolt for defamation? Clive won his case against Chinese company CITIC. Andrew Bolt however spent a lot of energy and time suggesting the opposite. YOU WONT HEAR THAT FROM BOLT

Qantas flies to the Left

When the economy struggles and Australia is trying to tell the world "We are open for business" There's nothing like having a Bolt in the bleachers slagging off the national carrier for what he perceives as political bias. Will he do the same for News Corp now that the editors of the Australian have let him down and have moved to his left? Somehow Bolt expects QANTAS  reveal all it's political leanings even  border control. All Bolt really wants is to perv on the hostesses a little longer as they deliver their on board safety message coupled with a vote for Tony song.

How personal can our man Bolt get? Inside leg measurement of male flgt crew to see which way they hang?

Memo to the Australian: blast Kelly, not me

Link Restricted

Bolt suddenly realizes some truths. He has limited 'free speech' as we all do. There is nothing special about the him other than the platform with which he's been gifted.. He's a corporate hack a puppet on a string with the misguided belief he's free. This says more about him than News Corp. The sludge that comes out of the man comes from a true ignorant. Thanks go out to Paul Kelly for bringing it into the open and thanks to the editors of the Australian for not intervening for the puppet. Alone again naturally
