Scott Morrison names new team in cabinet reshuffle

The PM has stamped his authority on the government with a reshuffle that elevates some of his closest allies and dumps his former environment minister.

 Apparently, Pentecostalists are entitled to lie even on Sundays. " Will you retain your current Environment Minister?" asked Bill Shorten during the 3rd election debate. We received a definite "Yes" from Scott Morrison. She was "dumped" today coupled with the excuse "it's what she asked for". She sure did, but it's not what he told us. Were Morrison's fingers crossed behind his back when he said so? 

This man was never, and still isn't a ScoMo. Soon we will be listening to a series of lies about the economy about Climate Change and a series of other promises made about 7 years from now. They will begin to machine gun lies and not only on Sundays. They will do nothing about the Royal Commission into banks, and they will put Australians into the position of having to increase their personal debt to survive. Yes, and it will still be at 22% as it always has been with penalties. Did anyone notice the wholesale price of electricity went UP?!!! (ODT)

'We need to reflect on what we say to our sons': Top cop's warning as another woman dies 

Speaking hours after the discovery of a woman's body in Royal Park, Assistant Commissioner Luke Cornelius urged men to take responsibility for violence against women.

Lest we forget Andrew Bolt kept trying to convince you that men were the victims in a society that was increasingly dominated by "frightbats". That those women who called men misogynists were, in fact, their carers and only men in the Muslim world deserved to be targeted in that way. The violence we see done to women in Western Christian societies is an exception and not the norm, while the reverse is the case in the Islamic world. Meanwhile, Bolt like an Imam said he'd stop his daughter leaving the house if she was improperly dressed just after criticising Australia's Imam who said much the same. We also saw Bolt verbally abusing Yassmin Abdel -Magied and outstanding Australian woman, mocking Dr Susan Carland, threatening Miranda  Devine and laughing at the South Sudanese for having a beauty pageant with his son James. A real male role model is Andrew Bolt. (ODT)
 

  Abbott's last, sweet jig with dinosaurs ... before it was finally up

Who seriously thought Bill Shorten’s cohesive policy platform, which he presided over with great stability for six years, would be gazumped by Scott Morrison after six years of huge instability, and the first PM in Australia to be elected on a mandate to do . . . not much in particular? That is, there were no huge policy innovations by Morrison, just more of the same, and if he wasn’t quite a one-man band, he was at least on bass guitar, drums, trumpets, whistles and lead vocals.
Personally, I have no clue how the same electoral tide that swept Tony Abbott away by 14 points looked at George Christensen – infamously absent in the Philippines for more time than he spent in Parliament over two years – and said: "Yup, let’s swing to him by ELEVEN points!"

When it was all examined, the LNP win amounted to 146,000 votes out of 15 million that really counted. Tell me Murdoch and Palmer's donation to the LNP, their wall of sound in Qld didn't buy those votes. That folks was no miracle. (ODT)

Josh Frydenberg: low-emissions future is inevitable and a huge opportunity

Does anybody think there's an attempted steal suddenly going on here ?" Josh Frydenberg says Australia needs to roll out new infrastructure in the coming term of government to support renewable energy zones and has declared that the “inevitable” transition to low-emissions sources creates an opportunity for the country."

Frydenberg lost 6-7% support in Kooyong to Climate Change and was extremely worried. Millions of dollars were pumped into Kooyong to save his seat. Suddenly Abbott's gone, and Climate Change is no longer the crap it was. He believes in the Science, and also Australia's global responsibility. Suddenly he's spruiking a great new future for those eyesore cancer producing wind generators that don't work when the wind doesn't blow and the solar panels as well. He even admits that coal is no longer the cheapest future. Will we see Evs spruiked and talked up against Cash's utes too? What will Climate deniers like Murdoch media hacks make of all this "renewable opportunity" Will they be calling any new subsidies a "tax" on carbon?

The government is already talking down the "booming " economy they claimed they'd created with a booming warnings and a 'stimulus" package that sounds more like Wayne Swan's and Labour's which they bagged in opposition the difference Labour gave everyone $900 the LNP is giving the top end wage earners $11,000 ++ the ordinary Australian worker $1000 and the low-end zip. In an all or nothing package not even when promised. (ODT)

ENOUGH. MEN DON'T DESERVE THIS

Enough with making all men seem collectively guilty for the rapes and murder and wife bashing of a tiny few. This man-hatred is now poisonous and stupid. My editorial from The Bolt Report.

Has Bolt been trying to steal Miranda Devine's thunder?

FEMINISM

“Women are the weaker sex and I think it is outrageous to be demonising the very people who protect us.”

Miranda Devine The News Corp columnist believes women should be nicer to the men who protect them. Who will protect Australia from Miranda Devine remains to be seen. 

How News Corp are these two in-house or outhouse egoistic enemies.  Today Bolt won't ever be found trying to protect Miranda Devine who he once waxed lyrical about calling her the Divine Divine. He has no problem following her for ideas and space to fill without any acknowledgement.

09/07/2018

What a pompous prat Andrew Bolt is. He put an all-male choir dressed in uniforms on in his Tips to lead into the wail of male victimisation by women's cultural complaints of who men really think they are in our cultural mix and social psychological attitudes with regard their societal position which needless to say Andrew Bolt supports.

Men aren't monsters or animals Bolt calls out and they can't be blamed for the actions of a few exceptions. The whole of mankind men can't be blamed for the actions of a few.

Yet Bolt readily blames the Sudanese, the Lebanese Aboriginals for the actions of a few and it's their cultures the cause. He blames the ABC because of it's collectivist thinking along with journalism taught in universities for his media dislikes. He spends constant and regular effort to blame Indigenous Culture for the dysfunctional behaviour of some. But you can't blame White Christian men like Bolt for theirs.

"We simply aren't animals" he cries and he's right they are simply men raised in a society and culture in which they have been socialized to believe they are the more dominant force and not simply equals where women are concerned. Our institutions our culture social structures and even our language reflect just that in which women play unequal roles and have grown to fear and resent it. "Unfair" cries Bolt.

Bolt claims the extremes are exceptions and not part of a continuum. Apparently, the extreme pushback by women he's experiencing at present is not justified. That, it seems to Bolt to be a major attempt at an undeserved overreaction and a dangerous cultural shift.

But then Bolt has never been empathetic when the less powerful in our society complain and demand change. He simply has a tin ear and doesn't listen. He cries victim in any debate that demands a shift or loss of privilege. He's the only income provider in his slack ass family he's nobly told us. He has bent over backwards to take them on Xmas holidays where he doesn't want to go. He is not an animal that has to perform these burdensome tricks like a mule but he's a man. Well yes, he is and it seems that relationship is built on a foundation of resentment.

Well, women feel it too Mr Bolt and by and large they fear the dark, unwelcomed approaches of men which aren't exceptional but everyday occurrences. Men Bolt, lie about the relationships they are having or have had in the past. They kid themselves just as Bolt did when he called an ex-fiance a liar for telling the truth about his BS that he was simply "a belly dancer's minder". Why then did he publicly apologize if he didn't lie, and the woman revealed that truth? Bolt's defence "I was mindful of my wife". Well, Bolt you weren't the minder at all of your wife or your fiance you simply lied and in your alpha explanation treated them as less than equals to be manipulated and weaved into your grandstanding fantasies and they deserved better, But then you're a man.

You need to conduct relationships with a civility but you don't. Sudanese women aren't to be mocked for your pleasure because they have a Beauty Contest but you belittled the crap out of them showing your racism to boot. Yassmin, Susan Carlin, et al become objects of derision to be verbally molested simply because you have the resources to do so but more they are women and the way they look. You aren't the victim here you are being treated by women in a manner that you treat them and they seem to be telling you they are sick of it. They don't like it and are holding up a mirror and calling you bitch, cunt to your face as you do to theirs. Because you deserve it. As do the hordes of Western men like yourself saying their not animals while boarding planes to sexually entertain rape and gratify themselves in the third world.  These are men who claim to be gentlemen like Bolt and who DON'T DESERVE THIS VERBAL ABUSE.

Well, when the dogs of war are let loose as they were in past wars the atrocities were conducted by men. Rape was declared a legitimate weapon to be used which was only occasionally revealed but more often than not was brushed under the carpet too. As Andrew Bolt is trying to do now.

LET IN LAUREN

Senator Cory Bernardi says he suspects 'political interference' in the trouble that alt-right Canadian YouTube star Lauren Southern is having getting a visa to come speak. Watch, from The Bolt Report.

09/07/2018
This is typical of Bolt's uncritical say nothing reporting being handballed to Cory Bernardi to try and kick a goal for their side. That's the Bolt Report, that's not the news, that's not the ABC but that's political planned and a conspiracy. Hardly believable given it's Peter Dutton's Department Bernardi is accusing of protecting ISLAM.  Why haven't either Dutton and Bolt asked the appropriate people rather than promote innuendo instead?

THE ABC'S 'EASE OF STORYTELLING'

The ABC 's Media Watch tells Chris Berg why it labelled him as from the IPA, the Left's bogey, rather than from the RMIT University for which he works and wrote: "We’re talking about ease of storytelling. We need to impart who you are to the viewer... I accept you might have written the book on the RMIT payroll but that’s immaterial to viewers."

13m
Given the two posts above Bolt simply segues into the ABC's "ease of storytelling" Berg moves from the IPA to RMIT and Bolt declares he's a different man a light switch that turned his IPA mind and values off. Doesn't Bolt constantly remind us of the fact the Shorten was a trade unionist or how X was once a lackey of the ALP. It's called context something Bolt avoids whenever he can as history and context seem to be his enemy and often reveal how stupid he is. After all, he says he's an Indigenous Australian. How dare ex-conservative NZ PM Jim Bolger crack up and laugh at him.
"I accept you might have written the book on the RMIT payroll but that’s immaterial to viewers and to not say so doesn’t misrepresent you in any way, we’d argue."ABC
Journalism something Bolt never studied but was only trained in and hated because it relied on "facts" "verification" and "critical analysis" was something he turned his back on for just opinion instead. Opinion if looked at by a journalist needs context to be understood and it certainly makes sense when applied to Berg

"Ease of storytelling" to "impart who you are to the viewer" is actually another way of saying "how we could paint you as a Right-wing extremist whose arguments could, therefore, be dismissed without further thought".ABC
When Berg told the ABC that he was surely the best judge of whom he actually worked for, he got this revealing response from Media Watch: Bolt

No doubt you’re the best judge. But that’s not how journalism works. ABC

The ABC's response was explanatory and intelligent Bolt's well yet again simply opinionated.

The arrogance is astonishing. So is the bias, which is one more reason for selling off the ABC. Bolt

BORIS QUITS OVER BREXIT

Britons voted to quit the European Union, and the Prime Minister may pay for not taking that seriously: "Boris Johnson has resigned as foreign secretary amidst an extraordinary attack on the Brexit plans of Prime Minister Theresa May, claiming it is a “semi Brexit’’ which could send Britain to “the status of a colony’’." That's four ministers gone.

23m
" The swamp is drowning the will of the people and, with it, British sovereignty."Bolt
You couldn't get a more stupid comment than Bolt's 
Politics is drowning the will of the people because the truth of Brexit was never revealed in the first instance and the consequences never thought through. Now that they have the people have changed their mind as the truth hasn't remained hidden and benefits do not outweigh costs as was promised. Simple Abbott lied and the people became aware of the lies they wanted him out and Party obliged. However, they haven't been able to regain any trust. They have simply gained some respectability to race again. Boris is simply looking out for himself as Bernardi and Abbott are.

WHY DO WE DONATE TO SUCH HATERS?

Why have our governments funded these haters?: "A senior Palestinian Authority official has condemned a decision by the Australian government to cancel $10 million in aid, describing Australia as 'worthy of being spat on'." Nabil Shaath, a PA foreign affairs adviser, is cross that we diverted that money so the PA couldn't fund terrorists.

1h2

We and our allies donate and assist in Israel's historic vision of ensuring the Middle East remains as fragmented as possible. Abbott readily donated $500 mill a year into bombing the crap out of anybody even those Israel assists to cover for them. We opposed the growing secularisation of the Middle East by leaders like Hussein, Gaddafi, Assad, Egypt and other Nth African states. We supported the Islamic Brotherhood to help overthrow these leaders on behalf of Israel who biggest nightmare was a united secular Pan Arabic Front with united armies to stand against it. Israel's preference always being chaos fragmented infighting among tribal groups.
Why is Israel currently helping terrorist groups in Syria groups if any of us helped with donations would see us jailed? What's the tradeoff? On the illegally occupied Golan Heights, it's Oil. How is it Rupert Murdoch is both an advisor and investor in Genie Oil and Gas operating illegally in the Syrian territory of the Golan Heights? What's the trade-off with Israel? More oil than the Saudis has for Media, of course. The largest media company in the Western world the Anglosphere has become an Israeli propaganda machine for the rights of its owner to explore for oil illegally.
Murdoch Media totally overlooks Israel's butchery, the maiming of Palestinians, the running of the largest outdoor concentration camp, it's illegal occupation and annexing of Palestinian territories, it's apartheid domestic policies policing of free speech and it's own press and on it goes more and more. Illegal arms sales to dictators, assassinations in third countries, illegal rendition corruption and more. Meanwhile, Bolt complains of donations to the PA which assists Israel in its dirty work policing Palestinians from demonstrating.
Bolt is obviously handed copy when speaking for his poor Israelis who shoot children blockade medicine to hospitals and ensure Israelis are the least well-informed citizenry on the planet. Does anyone realize Israelis weren't what the IDF has really been doing for fear of a reaction by their own citizens?
 Shari Markson was almost arrested for what she witnessed when there because she was a foreign journalist but then she works for Murdoch. The reality, however, ISRAEL IS ALSO A TERRORIST SPONSORING STATE that receives $5 bill from the USA in donations a year.
So yes why donate to such violent haters?

 PAYWALL

Here we have Andrew Bolt above doing his real job. Pity he never actually made it and got an education at the University of Adelaide. Bolt, however, is adept at headlines and banners which were historically used by paper boys to attract. They never really got the opportunity to read or understand the content. Bolt shows he still remains confused between what constitutes Studies and what is really disguised Propaganda and promotion. Uncritical reporting is what drives Bolt's approach and what separates him from the women at the ABC among others and he's right when he suggests he's fashionless as well, a euphemism for "behind the times".

Wow. South Australia sure pays for its reliance on wind. Wind dies, power prices today soar to $1200 per megawatt hour, when  the national average was around $40 before the green madness really hit.

Bolt is such an idiot. His heartbeat goes up and down to does he panic? The wind dies it doesn't mean the average wind power comes to a standstill coupled with electric storage it doesn't mean electricity will stop in Australia.
Corporations haven't fled the state or have been sold off at bargain rates. In fact, the opposite is the case. Some Oil States and Funds worth 3 Trillion dollars have signed up to going Green and meeting targets while Andrew Bolt is running about making his Chicken Little calls that the world as we know it is coming to an end. The man couldn't be further from the truth even when the State is a Liberal one why? Bolt's political alliance has a very narrow corridor of allegiances which is Ultra-Conservatives in Politics, News Corp and the IPA and today the IPA and News Corp are the most significant.

 These rats at the IPA do not want a well-informed populace, as critical thinkers move away from conservatism in droves. Universities are meant to be halls of science and learning. IPA is fearful of this though, as their anti-science, climate-denying agenda upsets their fossil fuel donors.

  Even Oil Gulf Sovereign Wealth Funds Sign Macron’s Green Investment Pledge

Witnessing continued Colonial Culture bashing by Andrew Bolt

Behind the times is what Bolt is noted for. Child molestation won't have been found in the records of the Catholic Church nor the Boy Scouts. Molestation was never government policy or should we say even policy wise forgiven on record. In as much as that is fact are we to therefore to take Bolt as an expert in the defence of history and institutional innocence? The challenge to name 10 stolen children is the equivalent of children he calls liars for having outed priests for their sexual molestation and having them found guilty. You see Bolt doesn't believe in justice proved from the bottom of the power hierarchy up only down. Even when the accusations come from Christians who practice their faith far more than he does. Such as Indigenous Australians.

HAMISH, MEET JON

ABC BIAS Opinionated host Hamish Macdonald: "At the ABC we’re not allowed to express opinions as hosts of programs, as journalists." Then what about ABC host Jon Faine's highly opinionated spray on Friday, berating the Herald Sun for reporting the inconvenient truth about a drug injecting room he has campaigned for?  

5m
 How biased is Bolt when the whole edifice of critical reporting and journalism is brought to the ground for bias by an idiot called Andrew Bolt who claims he is the crusader of debate and free speech. Particularly when Bolt insists he's right when all he has to say is "Statistically low"? Seriously?" When it comes to injecting rooms global evidence shows injecting rooms save lives. Not lives of addicts who still hide the addictions like Bolt's peers if he had an addiction like doctors, nurses, paramedics or wealthy bankers. Yes, injecting rooms don't attract all addicts but that's far from the point being made nor are they a waste of time as Bolt likes to make out.
If we examine statistical bias well it becomes clear when Andrew Bolt claims he has great ratings for the Bolt Report because they are off a small base. He also has a family of 5 and he has faced the courts three or four times and has had innumerable complaints. So the Bolt's are serial pests all of them are 1000 times more likely to find themselves as offenders despite the fact there is only one repeat offender in that family. That's also statistics off a small base and Bolt would be first to complain if his logic was applied to his children's future. Yet it's logic he's prepared to apply to the Sudanese. If the ABC question Bolt's racist logic it's accused of bias when in fact it's clarifying an issue that highly misrepresented.

  Israel blames Hamas for deaths of children its soldiers killed | The Electronic Intifada

Crude propaganda Andrew Bolt turns to when portraying Israel and it's IDF as victims of Palestinian terror. Israeli soldiers have to shoor Palestinian children.(ODT)

 Israel has resorted to crude propaganda to deflect blame for the deaths of Palestinian boys and girls hit by bullets fired by its soldiers.
This week Israel claimed that Hamas uses candy to lure children – who pose no conceivable danger to heavily armed soldiers in fortified positions – to the boundary fence.
Palestinians should apparently view lethal sniper fire as a natural and inevitable phenomenon at the boundary fence, not unlike the weather.
Meanwhile, Israeli military spokesperson Ronen Manelis told the French National Assembly that Hamas sent a 7-year-old girl wearing Mickey Mouse pyjamas to infiltrate Israel from Gaza.
“There is only one reason behind this, simply to confuse us and have us kill her,” Manelis claimed, according to a video of his speech published on the military’s Twitter account.
Hamas would have scored a propaganda victory against Israel through the girl’s death, Manelis suggested.
“But we were able to identify her and to understand that it was a provocation,” he said, praising the army for giving water to the girl and sending her back to Gaza with a friendly goodbye.
It is twisted logic that suggests that Hamas is to blame for the killing of Palestinian children when it is Israeli soldiers aiming at them and pulling the trigger.

I wrote as much in my victim impact statement to the court, asking the judge why must the conversation immediately turn to my actions, instead of the most obvious one – why are men attacking women in the street? In their homes? In parks, and on public transport, and in taxis and on doctor’s examining tables?
A friend told me it’s because he thought they were not men. That they were animals. “How do you even begin to reason with an animal like that?”
But he’s wrong. They are men.
They are sons and brothers, and fathers and boyfriends and husbands and friends and co-workers and the guys around you in the cafe.
We know they are because the few who face the justice system get character references about how they are good guys, who are good sons and brothers and fathers and boyfriends and husbands and friends and co-workers who made a mistake.

Forget the fact that corporatism has increased it's wealth at the expense of the rest of the world as Karl predicted it would. The very economic nature guarantees it's collapse. Bolt complains about every welfare dollar spent to bandage up the system, even his boss Rupert Murdoch said something bigger needs doing in the US or the edifice of Capitalism will come crumbling down. Trump is doing less for the welfare of the citizenry but more for corporations and policing the planet. A trillion dollars more in fact on defense plus more on the security of not just the state but countries demanding a more socialist change.

NANTES BURNS. 'YOUTHS' BLAMED, AS REPORTERS PRETEND BLINDNESS

No mention in the story of ethnic or religious factors, but such violence is usually tribal: "France's western city of Nantes has seen a third night of tensions, with dozens of cars being torched to protest a fatal police shooting of a driver who was apparently trying to avoid an identity check." 

2h

Police shoot a black man in Nantes in the USA. Rodney King moments around the world and Bolt turns anger into the victimization of Authority. He is a naive exemplar of how Israel blames Hamas for the IDF shooting Palestinian children as a necessary action to protect themselves. When it's convenient Bolt is the first to say colour tribalism and culture don't exist in a Secular nation but he's the first to tell you it's the nature of them the other to be dysfunctional Aboriginal Culture, Islam, and Black Africans Bolt can't assume their religion and avoids mentioning most are Christians because it doesn't fit his narrative. His ommissions are glaring but what does he say of media "others" Glaring in that police racial profiling has been turned into an unfortunate "accident" rather than the strange report Bolt is displaying here which suggest the police were acting in a defensive nature. Bolt fails to ignore the details that in fact have come out about the killing. No mention that the officer has now been charged with manslaughter.

 Guess the shooting by police in America of the Australian woman didn't get the attention from Bolt as this shooting did because the cop was black Muslim and also charged with manslaughter. There seems an enormous Bolt bias omitting the facts as the police actually saw to interpret what happened. Bolt believes he's wiser from halfway around the world as he was when he wrote about the shooting in Orlando. Dumb is dumb and Bolt proves it.

Makes me wonder even more about the scientific case for global warming: "U.K. meteorologists won’t be declaring a June 28 temperature reading as the hottest recorded in Scotland since the early 20th century after discovering... a stationary vehicle with its engine running was parked too close to the observing enclosure." In fact, an ice-cream van.

TEHAN: WE NEED LAWS AGAINST THE VICTIM LOBBY

 Social Services Minister Dan Tehan says we need a religious discrimination act to save the religious many from the victim industry: 'Australia has reached an ­unusual point where the tools of oppression — sowing the seeds of division, conquest, manipulation and cultural division — are being wielded by the minority against the majority.'"

“Australia has reached an ­unusual point where the tools of oppression — sowing the seeds of division, conquest, manipulation and cultural division — are being wielded by the minority against the majority,” Mr Tehan said. " Tehan 

Doesn't anybody find it strange that our Census suggests that the practice of Christianity is, in fact, shrinking so fast it's become just another minority among other minorities that make up our nation? It's not the majority that Bolt and Tehan would have us believe that's for sure. It is, however, more like an appendix of unknown use other than to right-wing patriots who want to shore up some political kudos by fragmenting as many others as in the hope of gaining some support.

The closest Institution that seems to claim to be the most Christian is, strangely enough, the one that's meant to be the most secular the LNP Government which is still dominated by white European men of wealth with a colonial bent but no Melbourne Club in which to be found.

UNI FOR ECOLOGICAL GODDESSES

Not often can one safely predict that the next generation will be more brainless and useless than the last: "The Portland State University Women’s Studies department will offer a course next semester exploring 'ecological feminist spirituality' ... and 'goddesses and spirituality.'" What jobs do graduates go on to do?

Bolt's link is WND

"WorldNetDaily is an American news and opinion website and online news aggregator which has been described as "fringe" and far right as well as politically conservative. The website is known for promoting falsehoods and conspiracy theories."

You can't be more brainless and useless than Andrew Bolt who still claims he was educated at Adelaide University which is "fake news"

 

 

 

SALMONELLA HIGHEST IN BAG-BAN STATES

Probably coincidence, but has this been studied? There are many sources for salmonella food poison, including mixing food ingredients such as raw chicken or even salad, but the first two bag-ban states top this survey of food poisoning rates in 2013. And, true, the rates were already rising before the bans - but see the ACT then soar:

TIPS FOR SATURDAY, JULY 7

 The Cullen skink at Pure South Dining, Southgate, is very tasty and looks infinitely prettier than it sounds. The chef is Scottish, so it figures. Bolt

Apparently the Scottish are culturally inferior to Bolt. Weird Dutch food: Herring-Ice-Cream sure comes just as close. The Cullen skink is an individual choice but the herring -ice-cream is national.
