Abbott Confident He Can Balance Prime Minister Responsibilities With New ABC Programming Role

 

What’s a Clive Palmer promise worth?

Link The Courier Mail Murdoch's Smear tabloid in Qld

Has anybody noticed there is not a word said today about Abbott. In fact not much has been said about Abbott for quite some time as he's shown so much Machismo. Which Bolt has declared a no no for government policy. He obviously wants to come over to the side that considers justice and fairness to be more moral.

As for Palmer he's not the only person among the wealthy to have been rogues at the forefront of the class Bolt so admires. Gina ripped off her kids, want's regulations stripped. Alan Bond was the hero we had to have, Christopher Skase   was rich yes but was really a journalist that never changed Rupert Murdoch  well what's more to be said. Bolt would have loved to walk in the company of these men.  It's said to be knighted in this country you have had to have left a lot of damaged people in your wake. Clive would have been a hero as well but he just happened to choose the wrong side. Imagine he might have become the leader of the Liberals like John Elliot.

 

 

Cooling on the warming: now warnings of a mini ice age

 

Iran reminds Obama how “successful” a power it can be

"Barack Obama demonstrates one of the dangerous conceits of the Left - a belief that most people operate on a similar moral and rational basis and can be reasoned with. "

Is Iran anarchistic the center of all evil a place where women and children are raped and then cannibalized?  Or does Bolt conveniently overlook the 20 years of trade embargo placed on Iran for the past 25 years resulting in extreme poverty. Bolt ignores the fact that millions of people died due to the unavailability of food, medicines, jobs and other necessities because the US driven trade bans. No Bolt most people don't operate on the same moral and rational as the US government has. Cuba driven to poverty by the US state  provides Health workers to the world teachers and engineers. Did you know those that have come to Australia have not seen the levels of poverty anywhere else in the world than exists here in remote Aboriginal communities. What was that about moral and rational leaders that can be reasoned with and the Left's conceit?   Libya: Chaos – The result of Western intrusion

 

Greeks go from “no” to “oh no”

Notice the touch of pleasure to be found in Andrew Bolt the "humanist's" banner here.

" Machismo is a very foolish government policy, and the mob is not the repository of wisdom."

Isn't this Tony Abbott to a tee on Asylum Seekers, National Security, Enviroment, the ABC,  Russia,  etc etc and isn't he now turning to the popular vote?

The invasion of Europe

Link SMH

The Bankers are screwing Greece but still expect them to do something about "their" immigration and refugee problem. That something is never really defined by the EU other than stop them coming in. With so many islands to head for Bolt cries do it the Abbott way.

 Maybe if those bankers realised that since 2004 they had been driving Greece into poverty and had noticed the Greek invasion of Europe. They may have come to the conclusion that that's what they have been doing in Africa all these years driving that continent deeper into poverty. However no longer a poverty of the poorest of the poor who can't flee but rather a poverty of the middle class who can and have the money. Those who are ready to take the risk of flight combined with a genuine fear for their lives.

Did Europe bother to notice the Greek invasion? It welcomed it as all the educated fled Greece for work. Has Europe noticed the number of educated professionals amongst this so called current invasion? Bolt's only attended to their religion and colour.

 It's contradictory of the Abbott government isn't it not to look at the 1000 Iranians it's trying to ship back to Iran when we too have a shortage of professionals here. We are prepared to accept true illegals sneaking in on dodgy 457 Visas but not even look at the skills of legal asylum seekers many of them with genuine professional skills. We are advertising  for skilled people overseas and can't get them. But we wont consider those that are already here. Isn't that just  playing hard politics with human life? If they donated to the LNP like the Calabrian Mafia did would that just make the difference?

Don’t let these deaths distract from the real cause: changing the constitution

There is no Aboriginal Culture we are all  just individuals. It's just happens  that some of us are destined for the bottom and are more dysfunctional because of what we believe.  We  make different "life style choices" Abbott called it. Unemployment, alcoholism poor health, domestic violence, diabetes, poverty, etc all existed before colonization and have been with the Aborigines before white man's arrival. No they haven't even that's too stupid an explanation for Bolt. But then Bolt World Climate Expert is also a World leading Social Anthropologist who for one doesn't believe in history and no First Peoples any longer exist.  Aboriginal Culture is the root cause and explanation for their current day social ills.

The increasing  poverty, alcoholism, and drug taking we see amongst the white population is also due to a combination of lack of moral fiber and dysfunctional socialization. However every society has a bottom rung and that's normal and we have to intervene. The problem is we over indulge them and kill tem with kindness. Some of this social detritus on welfare has resulted in  a " life style choice" a welfare culture or Culture of Poverty that needs to be identified stopped and policed.

For Bolt there is no notion that this society in which we live produces or compels the level of social and psychological dysfunction among most of us. That the constant downward pressure on wages in the search for profit has resulted in the continuing widening of the income and wealth gap in capitalist societies. It's no more clearly seen than in the USA  that has the greatest numbers of poor 40% and a shrinking middle class and yet still is regarded as one of the worlds most wealthiest countries. Bolt like all right wing ideologues blame it on the poverty of minority cultures and the increasing illegal immigration and personal inadequacy.

The fact is that there is as much legal and illegal drug taking, alcoholism and domestic violence in Toorak, Malvern, upper  and middle classes of Australian Society as there is amongst the lower class and poor. The only difference being is the likelihood of being caught and visible. How on earth does Bolt believe the total value of drugs alcohol and legal pills imported into this country is consumed.  Simply look at the growth in private rehab clinics and you might get some indication they are now everywhere. State run clinics barely exist.

Does Bolt believe domestic violence doesn't occur among the wealthy or middle class that domestic tensions aren't released  by flights to Bali or the escapes to  holiday homes to friends places with spare rooms all things the lower classes don't have access to and what brings them to the attention of police. Does Bolt actually believe that white collar crime doesn't exist on far larger scale than working class crime and is far more damaging that doing over a 7/11. It's quite easy to lie with statistics but much harder to see the total picture of the pressure on the whole of society and families in general. But then that's the Conservative way reminding us of the 1950's telling us all is well while pointing out and blaming the few for their problems. How Christian all will be forgiven if only you repent.

A real “investment” shouldn’t cost the rest of us

Link SMH

What is the The Clean Energy Finance Corporation if it's not to invest in clean energy? How is it that this commission with nothing to do it hasn't been scrapped yet? Or is that Abbott's plan as he can't scrap it he can shackle it.

 It's Abbott's Lie his shop front to the world or just another Trojan Horse that no doubt has been told to invest in the Carmichael and Shenhua mines for the good of humanity. 

The real investment where Andrew Bolt hasn't invested a cent but like Abbott only encourages others to invest and lose is coal.

 Denmark produced 140 per cent of its electricity needs through wind power yesterday.

ABBOTT ADMITS MORAL GUILT BUT WON"T BE BLACKMAILED OR CAPITULATE

"I don't believe any thinking Australian would want us to capitulate to moral blackmail"
What sort of PM is Tony Abbott?  to come out with a statement like that? It suggest some "moral turpitude" of which the government is guilty & has no intention of stopping even if blackmailed. In a lot of countries eg USA it's breaking the law. Rolf Harris tried to refuse to capitulate to moral blackmail and he's in jail.
Eric Abetz comes out yesterday and said yes there were some 11 trivial suicide and self harm attempts by some mothers behind razor wire. However they have been  medically attended to now. Both Abbott, Abetz and their right wing media  suggest that acts of self harm and attempted suicide are t minor strategical behaviours? Under the Mental Health Act these behaviours are far from trivial patients are generally transferred to ECU. The women have been behind razor wire for 12 months and are clinically depressed and in fear of their children's poor  and deteriorating health. They apparently wanted their children adopted out of detention for their their safety and medical well-being. How hard is that for a mother? Mothers in desperation do desperate things. If Abbott or Abetz found the women in their households doing these minor things would it be a cup otea and an aspirin?
Where is our minister for No Information Scott Morrison? He must be grinding his teeth over the political ineptitude of his leader Tony Abbott and Senator Abetz. There are 120 spin doctors from two departments who are not doing their job, ask Andrew Bolt. No Morrison is in Sri Lanka being tortured by the news from home and the assurance from Sri Lankan police that those asylum seekers returned to face illegal departure charges will get 'enhanced detention'. What on earth is this special form of detention? No information is available.
Abbott and Morrison also need Malcolm Fraser like a hole in the head who has pointed out that transferring 150 asylum seekers to a navy vessel in International waters and not Australian waters is tantamount to Piracy on the High Seas and another morally questionable act. But I guess Labour has to suffer  Bob Carr the media chasing Paris Hilton of their party who stood up to defy Canada, UK and UN by saying he thought Sri Lanka was a fine place to return asylum seekers. They have no record of human rights abuse. Serial rapists would love Carr on the parole board.
