The selling of hypocrisy continues, without shame, Bolt claiming the attack on Australia Day is so dangerous but not so the attack on marriage equality where Conservatives like Abetz demand the right to remain Christian bigots. 
The aboriginal minority isn't deserving of the respect that  Christian Conservatives demand is their right not to be offended. To be able to say No No No whenever they feel fit. They sound as Abbott did when he was PM and his signature tune nope nope nope.. Will Abbott be voting for or against Warringah his constituency where the vote was a robust 80% "yes"?

 The desperation of Bolt trying to be believed is amazing. The hypocrisy of himself and the extreme conservatives he's a spokesman for is psychotic in that they can't  for a moment step back and see themselves in the context of their insanity.  Last week and today immediately after they lost the Marriage Equality vote they have been demanding respect, respect because they are different in that they voted "no" and that now they too should be deferred to in law. However not so Indigenous Australians they have lost to white Christian supremacists for 200 years and been told by their ass hole spokespeople like Bolt it's their fault.  However, today with the vote against him Bolt demands respect and freedom of religious belief for Christians who 66% of Australia says are wrong. Bolt still denies that same respect to be given to first Australians on what they believe is invasion day.He even denies the ABC the right to acknowledge it.
Equality is simply not a word in Andrew Bolt's dictionary.
As for the Somali for the moment he seems to have been arrested for little more than what he thought, read and believed which even Bolt insists we should all be free to do. One person in 24 million is a threat to this country in the meantime good Australian Christian boys are shooting each other up in drug wars carjackings and Bolt says nothing. If it was a Sudanese Bolt would have to ignore it because he'd most likely have been Christian. No this is a way of killing two birds with one stone the kid was not only Black but a Muslim to boot. It's strange just how Bolt uses the media to play out his Identity Politics. How often have we heard Bolt declare the police are liars when they have said we don't have an African or Muslim problem here in Melbourne, in fact, we don't have a terrorist issue.
 Bolt has publicly declared conservatives are weak pussies and need to clench their fists and be as brave as the Barcelona terrorists and prepared to go to war on our streets for what they believe in. Here in Melbourne as he did in Carlton. Isn't that an act of incitement to violence? Why isn't Bolt charged who protects him?

 Bolt must be desperate to have Cory Bernardi validate what he can't and be his witness. He has a problem, just as few people believe  Bernardi given his history of moronic statements. Is Bernardi the best Bolt can do to verify that he has a source?  Bernardi has been known to be a leaker and liar the equivalent of who else other than Bolt.They make a great pair. How is it they seem to be the only two offering up this truth up? What value would any Liberal have in giving secrets to Bernardi? now, Who else can they recruit to make a threesome?

 

MATT CANAVAN BLASTS TRIPLE J: "DISGRACEFUL"

ON AUSTRALIA DAY

 The Conservatives can't be more hypocritical than this can they? Eric Abetz spokesman for the minority of Christian "no" voters who demand that the laws of the nation need to pay "respect" to the 36.4% of Muslims, Christians etc etc who when clubbed together voted against the majority of 'yes' voters for marriage equality. Instead of amplifying their diversity Abetz speaks of them as Christians who must be paid attention and not be forgotten. Whereas Triple J who out of "respect" for the Indigenous Australian minority is being slammed by Conservative Senator Matt Canavan for changing the date for broadcasting their Hottest 100 Countdown. How hypocritical are these conservatives? How even more put out would they have been if Triple J had broadcast the Hottest 100 Indigenous Countdown out of "respect for the minority? How unprincipled and divided are these  Racist Right Wing fruitcakes begging for "respect" for themselves their side on the one hand and showing none for Australia's First Peoples?
What is more disgusting and lower than a snake's belly than the fascist media corporation News Corp and their tool Andrew Bolt normalizing this out of date, turn of the century Cultural White Supremacist Nationalism on National TV channel SKY. The joke, however, being on them Abetz demanding what Canavan is arguing against. "recognition of equality" for all Australians even minorities.
Even more stupid Abetz's 36.4% of "No" voters are so diverse made up of Muslims, Pacific Islanders Africans and other ethnic groups who are totally unlike Abetz's Conservative Christians. They actually believe in the Separation of Powers between the Church and State. How do we know? Because they vote Labor and you can find them in the Western Sydney and other similar electorates. Whereas Abetz and Abbott are MPs who have turned their backs on their electorates as shown in Warringah where 80% of voters said "Yes". How principled is this Conservative Supremacist Front who believe in a Christian State? 
 So much for minority respect
  1. ABC will be asked to reconsider triple j's Hottest 100 decision

    Communications Minister Mitch Fifield will ask the ABC to review triple j's decision to move the date of its highly successful countdown away from Australia Day.

Don't blame One Nation. Abbott destroyed Pauline once when he had her jailed then put his hand out and said sorry because he'd focused on destroying the Liberal Party by giving her the dream of a second life for the moment. He has been using Andrew Bolt at the behest of Rupert to do a number of Julie Bishop who for the moment is his immediate threat. How are these misogynist conservatives ever going to win the women's vote? They are like tag team wrestlers Bolt's stopped calling women "frightbats" and turned his sights on accused sexist males like Don Burke, Harvey Weinstein etc deflecting attention away from Liberal Conservative and News Corp misogynistic Culture.  The Murdoch-sphere was recognized publicly as the first domino to fall when the head of Fox News  Roger Ailes then Bill O'Reilly had to go followed by the rest. These weren't just exceptions in an otherwise non-sexist organization but pillars of News Corp's cultural ethos of organized misogyny.
Here is Bolt deflecting attention away from his team climbing the moral high ground. However, he can't deflect the sexist reality away from the Liberal Party with only 22% women MP's. The argument of equality and merit doesn't hold when compared with the ALPs 40%. Abbott doesn't attract the female vote and his problem is that Julie Bishop does. So watch the hoons try to destroy her and claim they don't disrespect women.

Terry McCrann, a Murdoch man the worst economic commentator in the country is it seems attempting to make some a social and political comment instead and raised to our attention by Peter BH Andrew Bolt's troll. Peter BH "reader" seems to fill in for Bolt when he needs time out. 
The fact is Pauline Hanson is the creation of not the PM but the Monkey Pod Room the conservatives in the Liberal Party who don't have the balls to do a Cory Bernardi and leave the Liberal Party and stand alone but encourage Tony Abbott's revenge on Turnbull. 
 We saw the kowtowing "I'm sorry Pauline" Abbott on National TV. He destroyed Hanson once for John Howard by having her jailed when she was found innocent it allowed Howard to steal her policies and supporters. Abbott has raised her from the grave by dividing the Liberal Party for the sole purpose of this time destroying Turnbull by causing division in the hope he'd be recalled like and raised like Lazarus and then swallowing Pauline again. Abbott truly is a Golem using Murdoch's tools  Bolt,  McCrann and Peter BH et al in the process. However, he has to kill off Julie Bishop in the process first who is polling way ahead of him as a drawcard alt-leader of the Party. Abbott you see doesn't have the women on side. He can't be seen doing it directly so he has been lent Murdoch's men.

Yes, this was a unique Qld event in the Labor State of Qld. The Nationals realized they'd made a mistake for joining the Liberals on the ballot. They didn't just shoot themselves in the foot but they along with Tony Abbott Federally provided Pauline Hanson to come in and nab the protest vote. The protest not just of Turnbull but the Liberal Party divided by Tony Abbott. Christenson's sorry is not a backing away but the stupidity that allowed One Nation in to feed their preferences to the ALP. The poor strategy is significantly different from any notion of political distancing.

Andrew Bolt's Blog,19/5/15; Water in a desert is often a mirage; free market what about the TTP it remains a secret; Satire something that scares Bolt; History is always inconvenient to Bolt;

 

 















UPDATE:  Why Andrew Bolt's is a terrorist. He has the mind set of an Ultra Racist

 Black Wall St…. Tim Blair Went to Lakemba  to mock and disparage. Like Bolt they are supporters of Islamophobia and mind set of the KKK

 

The Greens have not learned from 1200 deaths or our high terrorism alert

There is one stand out truth in this blog

" Govt’s response to refugees stranded at sea and dying from starvation - apparently not Australia’s problem"

Even if it's a regional problem Australia has refused to be involved. They are no longer interested in saving anybody from drowning nor it appears from being raped. A  23 year old woman has claimed to having been raped in Nauru. Abbott has brushed it off as an Australian responsibility which  he  says we  handed over to Nauru. Totally untrue under International law as with the case of New Guinea and Cambodia. You can't just abrogate your Human Right's responsibilities with a payment to another party sovereign state or not.

  After 2 months at sea without supplies of any kind fights have been known to have broken out and some 100 ++ deaths have resulted on a boat stranded in the Andaman Sea. Abbott's response has been neither to drop supplies nor have any involvement in their hellish situation. Simply Abbott says the deaths will stop only if you stop the boats. Well these people's boats have stopped  and they aren't drowning but they are nevertheless dying which is of no concern to Abbott somebody else can do the lifting because we have definitely become leaners on this one. 

Andrew Bolt  of course applauds Abbott's hardline and even exports the ideas globally as advice. Stop the boats at sea if necessary tow them back illness or starvation  no matter.  In this case don't get involved just watch from a distance and let others  take the flack.   As far as Andrew Bolt concerned these people have no value they are just human detritus. So as long as they don't drown we are justified not caring what happens.If they do drown it was the people smugglers fault or one of our neighbours. Any wonder we are now no longer seen as global citizens.

" What we are seeing here, as with Europe and the southern border of the US, is a vast movement of poor people to richer countries. Those who don’t maintain their borders risk being overrun in time, or, at the least, having a large underclass of under-assimilated immigrants."

Bolt makes no attempt to ask or listen to why people are so desperate and he simply accuses them  worthless and a danger capable of terror or the worst of crimes. Just to create an atmosphere suspicion and fear. He seems to forget the migrants first brought to Australia were poor uneducated Greeks, Italians Jugoslavs and Turks some still have a poor grasp of English only their 2nd language after 60 years. However  they aren't an underclass of under-assimilated immigrants Bolt talks of or maybe they are to this bigot. They have contributed to this country. They have run businesses and built more things than Bolt ever has. All he currently does is go to great effort encourage fear divide and  tear things apart. Even the Lebanese he so disparages are largely Christian and those that are Muslim are respectable as any other groups of immigrants this country has seen. Shame Abbott Shame.

 

Fitzsimons and the ultimate case of blame-the-victim 

All Fitzsimons is doing is thanking GionniDG for a great Question.  A question which lead to a conversation on Q&A to which we weren't party to.. There is absolutely no indication here to what Fitzsimons participation in that conversation might have been. Bolt as usual twists things  in order to get his disparaging point about academics out. It's a case of obtuse and tangential thinking on Bolt's part. Fitzsimons may have ad something to do with Barry Spurr perhaps.

 Politicians remove a perk they get, millions don’t. So where’s the applause?

 Tony Abbott’s original “signature” paid parental leave policy would have provided mothers with 26 weeks a female employee would have been approximately $6,000 better off under the this policy. Under the the latest proposal employees will be $11,500 worse off.Joe Hockey has caused a furore by claiming that Australian mothers are “double dipping”.  The current PPL scheme was designed to complement employer-provided PPL, taking women closer to the six months leave which the International Labour Organisation (ILO) recommends as being best for mothers and babies. So Abbott has turned his back on yet another internationally recommended scheme. However promises made and promises broken seems to have left mothers $17,500 out of pocket and slandered to boot. 

Given the majority of employees of the public service are women. Bolt I suspect in an election year would be happy to see the Unions provoked into action, action that effects all Commonwealth departments and the services they provide. Yet again disruption for political advantage is Abbott's game. Are we to see an early election?

 

Pause in warming, pause in explanation

Has there been a pause in global warming not as far as Bolt is concerned it's a mainstay of his new Lomborg position of no longer a denier but just a skeptic. There are two major claims made by those who deny the science of climate change.1) The Planet is cooling not warming ...Wrong. 2) The planet is neither cooling or warming but flat also..Wrong

The first takes 1998 as a benchmark It was a record year until 2005 and 2010 because of the greatest El Nino of the century so 1998 topped the charts. The hottest years on record ever, 2005 and 2010, happened during a La NiƱa-dominated period - when you would expect cooling. Further  13 of the 14 warmest years on record have happened in the 21st-century. So it's very wrong to claim that surface temperatures are cooling. It's also very wrong to claim that surface temperatures are constant. The climate is still heating up.What is causing this heating? Various greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide trap the incoming energy from the Sun. The greenhouse gases let the Sun's energy enter the atmosphere, but stop some of it from leaving. 

Carbon dioxide levels are about 40% higher than they were in the 19th century. They are also at their highest levels for the last 800,000 years. Indeed, over the last 800,000 years, carbon dioxide levels stayed within the range of 170 - 280 ppm until the Industrial Revolution. In fact, in the year 2013, the carbon dioxide levels grew at the fastest rate ever measured since reliable global records began.

 

 

The Queensland Government feathers more union nests

Link Restricted Pay to Read the Courier Mail

Unions are the association of workers. Workers create profit. Given that workers have no rights in the decision making of the businesses of this country they do have the right  to sell their labour in a fair and organized way if they so wish. With unemployment at 6.2% and rising and only 12.5% unionized why are people like Bolt freaked? Isn't  it better to be in a union and insure the safety of your job and the industry it's part of?  In Germany unions representatives are ensured seats on company boards and look how well they run their economy. Is the example of Germany a problem Mr Bolt?

Check for yourself if Leigh Sales is as fair as she says

It's such a luxury Bolt has he just moderates anything he doesn't like out of his blogs. If Sales wants a question answered she is entitled to ensure the person being interviewed isn't allowed to just moderate her question to suit themselves which politicians tend to do. Leigh Sales was not responding to Turnbull and he has no problem with differing interview styles used by journalists. He said he himself adopted both as a journalist and changed when acting as a barrister before the bench. Bolt has just changed the context of what Turnbull said. Bolt alters facts their history to suit what ever purpose he wants. It's why he has 3 defamation suits upheld against him and a conviction under the RDA for vilification and loose use of facts and lies. Bolt modeled himself on the right wing headbangers in Murdoch's American stable at Fox News particularly Bill O'Rielly  Analysis Finds 50% Of All Fox News Statements Are FALSE

Bolt's twisting of words is exemplified here

"Sales said her budget week interviews with Mr Hockey and Opposition Leader Bill Shorten were both “pretty standard political interviews”."

Turnbull actually agreed with Sales when on the Bolt Report  that various interview styles are used and all are valid.  However he  adopted a more forensic approach when he acted as a barrister in court and that's what Bolt conveniently omits suggesting he agreed with Bolt which wasn't the case.

As for whether or not Bolt is a misogynist or not his track record shows  the pleasure Bolt gets from Tim Blair. They entertain themselves with the naming and ridiculing women and seeing how long it takes to get a rise. " furious Frightbat hate campaign against Tony Abbott has caused a dramatic decline in female support" Their lack of respect for Germain Greer and Gillard are coupled with extra vitriol because of their gender. I suspect Bolt was up to that prank with Emma, Lee and Patricia Krevelas as well.

Our welfare culture produces the opposite. Time to hand out contraceptives with the dole?

Link Nick Carter & Gary Johns Restricted Pay to Read Murdoch

It's pretty convenient way to shift blame and put it fairly on the shoulders of those experiencing poverty. It's also convenient way of side stepping the issue that there 750,000 known unemployed even more under-employed and many more unregistered because they are incapable of interacting with the authorities. People just living hand to mouth on the fringe. After all there are only 150,000 jobs. Nice deflection from economic realities.

"Mount Druitt ... is the entrenchment of a welfare culture that saps people of their dignity, robs them of agency and sucks the meaning from their lives. Welfare entitlements, though far from generous, have the potential to turn substance abuse into a viable career choice, albeit a wretched one…"

 Billie Jo is not the pivotal point about which conversation of government policy should take place nor should she be. Billie Jo stories are about a growing scab in our society. She is a symptom. She can't manage herself nor could her mother.  Yes she is also a failure of an understaffed and struggling Human Services Department an embarrassment to this prosperous country brought to light by SBS. We know that Billie Jos  exist but really don't want to.

 Don't give Abbott the moral justification to just intervene in her life  and that of the rest of the  poor without also intervening in the relationships in our economy that insure the growth of the unemployed and underemployed which spits out more and more Billie Jos.  If that happens and is ignored we will  have just created another manufactured stand alone political issue to draw attention away from the main game our economy and the poverty it feeds on. The truth is there are Billie Jos that cut across all classes however not all are as economically damaged as Billie Jo. They remain hidden and have wealthy parents or relations it's the only difference. 

We make a lot of show of policing the underclasses in every manner of way and don't do the same to upper classes which in fact are the driving force behind poverty. They should be just as much the conversation piece. Bill O'Reilly Loses Custody Of His Kids, Was Accused Of Domestic Violence

Bolt humour... Schadenfreude 

 

The real victims of religious persecution. So where is our victim industry?

I wonder when this horrible thing called war began and humans did atrocious things to each other ? In 1995 Christians killed 8000 Muslims in Bosnia raped and made pregnant countless women. So no Mr Bolt it's not the exclusive domain of Islam. However won might ask in the case of Iraq who is doing the most to defend and liberate the Yizidis from this abhorrent state of affairs? Yes it's Muslims the Shiia Militia and Kurds backed up by the Australian trained Iraqi Army if they can ever get their act together. What Bolt fails to ever mention is that Muslims are in the main heroes in this fight as well as victims but that doesn't suit his narrative.

"For nearly six years, Boko Haram has wreaked havoc in northeastern Nigeria and killed more than 13,000 innocent civilians, mostly Christians…"

Again History has no relevance for Bolt in understanding what goes on because it often reveals facts that are inconvenient to his narrative. 

Since the British amalgamated two colonial outposts for their convenience the north predominately Muslim and the South Christian in 1914 there has been political disagreement.  Add to this cauldron, each of the two regions contains ethnic and religious minorities who harbour historic grievances. With Independence in the 6os irreconcilable differences emerged.Clashes between Christian and Muslim communities with a history of peaceful cohabitation followed, in which thousands of people were killed, property destroyed, and hundreds of thousands displaced.The British colonial policy  a divide-and-rule system that required sharp ethno-religious differentiation among Nigerians, made religion and ethnicity the preeminent markers of identity and pushed exclusionary identity politics into the political arena.The desperate advancement of religious solutions to socioeconomic and political problems has deepened social fissures and spawned extremist and violent insurgencies such as the ongoing Boko Haram Islamist terrorist campaign, which has killed and maimed Christians and Muslims alike.
The rise of this radical movements since the 80's has been attributed partly to the poor socio economic infrastructures and poor governance in Nigeria.[45] Poverty has been seen as the major catalyst leading to the rapid increase in the membership of these religious extremist groups.[46] The rise of these sects has also been linked to  politicians for their selfish ambitions. What Bolt fails to conveniently leave out is the Christian involvement that gave rise to these movements in the first place.

Again Bolt conveniently overlooks the fact that Christians (his team) are far from innocents. But then he's a propagandist. What of those children left behind in Bosnia?

 

  Get over the culture cringe. It’s only Oliver

There is a hell of a lot more people around the world that watch and listen to John Oliver than Andrew Bolt. Wouldn't Bolt just love to be doing the BR from the US what an ego boost. What a ratings boost. Just a dream of a man dying in a desert. Attacking women (frightbats) unfortunately doesn't go over as well in the US. 

One thing is for sure Bolt media isn't a reflection of reality whereas Oliver's satire is a true eye opener. If we need Bolt to to advise us on forgetting  the cultural cringe then it's certain to exist because he more than most feels it. He prefers to be Dutch. 

Bolt advises us on forgetting a lot of things Abbott's International bloopers, our most livable cities, they're dangerous, First Australians, Climate  Change,  multiculturalism, our lack of Foreign Aid and the list goes on. Watch John Oliver he's not only as funny as, but revealing. 

However now that George Brandis is director of the Arts he might go the way of Pistol and Boo image
