WHO WILL SHORTEN GIVE HIS $75,000 HANDOUTS?

There's one hitch with Labor leader Bill Shorten’s promise to give $75,000 to victims of the “Stolen Generations” in the Northern Territory. Who will he give this cash to, when our courts can’t find them? See, two decades ago, human rights lawyers ran a test case for compensation for Aborigines allegedly stolen in the NT. It did not end well.

Bolt's the man whose always in a dlilema when it comes to progress. There are no decisions possible on either objective or reasoned grounds. Every current decision is in fact subjective equivalent to a religious belief and therefore political. The safest decisions are for Bolt none. 
Who should be choen as Australian of the year or the Book of the year ? Well knowing full well he will never be chosen Journo of the the year Bolt comes up with " I don't care" "I don't give a dam  about awards or award ceremonies" other than Anzac Day and Australia Day.
 Yes Bolt is the center of his own universe and  we don't give a dam either about what he thinks. Compensation for criminal actions justified as welfare are warranted and even Bolt admits mistakes made. Well they will be compensated and will be assessed not on legal terms but on moral ones. On terms that were ignored, hidden and forgotten by Bolt's  Christian and State godbotherers who broke up families seperated siblings lied and insured renuification was never possible. Their motives won't be challenged however their actions will as will the results. Judgement won't be soley on the basis of why a decision was made but the consequences something not as documented as Bolt would like. 
Just as Bolt's forebears didn't document the atrocities done to the Jews or those accused of being Jews in Aalsmere and the Netherlands in WW2. Just as the Dutch tried to make out that they were the heroes in their record of history taught a revision will occur. It took until the 1980s for Jewish investigators to prove the Dutch weren't as lily white as they said they were. that history was rewritten. In fact the Dutch were even worse than the Germans when it came to decisions made. 
 So it will be remembered that Australian Andrew Bolt the eldest son of  Dutch immigrants resisted the need to rewrite the history as presented and taught to Australian children evidenced in the "official record". What a load of regressive crap from some moron that goes about declaring he's more Indigenous with a better Culture than the majority of Aboriginals and Torres Strait Islanders.

'Exceptional' byelection salary: Nats members foot bill

Previously undisclosed arrangement involved use of party funds to give the Nationals leader wage during campaign

Grassroots Nationals members had to foot the bill to pay Barnaby Joyce a salary for six weeks after the Deputy Prime Minister was thrown out of Parliament and lost his $416,000-a-year job. That's $48,000 unemployment benefits paid by taxpayers Bolt fails to mention

REACHTEL POLL: JOYCE LOSES A THIRD OF SUPPORTERS

Barnaby Joyce will survive as Deputy Prime Minister for now, but the damage has been done: "A third of voters who backed Barnaby Joyce in December's byelection have deserted [him], according to the first poll since his affair spilled into the public." Almost half the respondents in  Joyce's electorate think he should step down or quit.

18m

Bolt hasn't any support if one took a poll on whether or not he should remain in his commentary box or has had his day he wouldn't rate highly. He certainly wouldn't go either the money is too good.

WHY WOMEN FEEL THREATENED BY BARNABY

Column But  what about the wives? Why can’t we say that what Barnaby Joyce did to his wife was immoral?  Boy, have commentators shied off such judgments. But not so the married women ringing me on talkback, hot with anger.  How many wives have sacrificed their own careers to stay at home and raise the children so their husband can soar?

15m
PAYWALL
For Bolt to even search a photo like this is shows he's on a moral witchhunt he doesn't really care about Barnaby Joyce one way or another. The context of the photo is unknown but Bolt's bullying motive is perfectly clear. He was celebrated Joyce's electoral victory after the by-election as much as the Nationals did.
What Bolt does care about is making life hard for the Liberal Party and Malcolm Turnbull.  His misogyny and the place of women he calls "frightbats" is clear we saw how he treated Miranda Devine when Steve Price's show had her as the headliner Bolt went publicly apeshit and Devine has rarely been seen on his show since. Prior to any of that Devine to Bolt was what the woman in this photo appears to be to Barnaby Joyce. Bolt's choice of photo to make a point amplifies his hypocrisy.

CARR'S CHINA CONNECTION

Bob Carr speaks, but his funding shouts:  "Carr ...  said it was imperative Australia not be pressured into antagonising China." But: "36 per cent of  [Carr's Australia-China Relations Institute’s] 2016 funding came from Mr Huang, the controversial donor at the centre of the allegations that ...  prompted Labor senator Sam Dastyari’s resignation."

 There is one thing Bolt is relaxed with it's the entry of the "Butcher of Fallujah" Jim Molan as an adviser of how we ought approach Defense in Australia. Molan believes in attack and invasion as a strategy  of defense and sees no contradiction in the ploy.

As for businessman Huang he donated as much to the Liberal Party as he did Labor. The IPA donates to the Liberal Party But the source of their funding remains unknown. 

What's good for the goose isn't good for the gander according to Bolt

PORN STAR TO CONFIRM AFFAIR WITH TRUMP

Uh oh. Seems lies were told: "Adult film star Stormy Daniels reportedly believes recent comments by President Trump's lawyer open the way for her to discuss publicly her alleged affair with Trump...  Michael  Cohen [said he] arranged a $130,000 payment to Daniels shortly before the 2016 election in exchange for her silence on the alleged affair." 

1h14
" Porn Star "is what's significant  for Bolt not just a woman able to provide some evidence on Trump's moral character does that suggest she can't be believed even though Trump's Lawyer admitted he paid her $130,000 opening the way for her to publicly reveal what actually happened.
Bolt's morality "Once again, the affair is one thing. Many politicians have affairs and there are no consequences for public policy or political performance. Who cares, as long as it's discreet." well that's personal and lying is quite acceptable it seems and even for the President of the USA who has been recorde to have lied 2500 times in his first year. The fact that Trump had an affair has been of no surprise to the American voters but his constant lying and being caught out for it does not just to Americans but to the whole world. The number 2,500 certainly didn't arise with Clinton or any other President even Nixon.

  Shooting At Florida High School Leaves At Least 14 Injured, 1 Dead (VIDEO) | Crooks and Liars

The shooter, a white redheaded male wearing a crimson sweater, was taken into custody by police shortly after the shooting.

What is the chance of Andrew Bolt even mentioning this? Unless of course if the shooter is an albino black, an immigrant refugee, Latino or Muslim. Bolt does mention it without any of the political innuendo that his comments are usually accompanied with. He even leaves the fact of the one certain death out or comment on the fact that the shooter was white a definite trend in the US.

SCHOOL SHOOTING IN FLORIDA

What sickness is this? Another school shooting in the United States: "At least 20 students were feared hurt and  'there are many deaths,' according to Sen. Bill Nelson, in a shooting ... at a high school in Parkland, Florida, as local media reported a student was considered a person of interest." A video shot inside one room captures the terror.

"So far no confirmation from police of deaths:" This is in fact not true and is a lie on Bolt's part or his incompetence Will Bolt post an UPDATE? "

More than 40 “active shooter” episodes in schools have been recorded in the United States since 2000, according to F.B.I. and news reports. Two 15-year-old students were killed and 18 more people were injured last month in a school in rural Benton, Ky. The shootings have become common enough that many schools, including Stoneman Douglas High, run annual drills in which students practice huddling in classrooms behind locked doors.

With the Parkland shooting, three of the 10 deadliest mass shootings in modern United States history have come in the last five months.

Yet the gun laws remain unchanged

17 dead in Florida massacre: Shooting suspect had been expelled from school

The teen gunman who allegedly opened fire killing 17 and causing the evacuation of 3000 students left bodies scattered in hallways and outside school grounds.

Guess Bolt just might point out that Cruz is a Latino name. Given that News Corp and Fox News support the NRA Bolt never seems critical of the laws but searches for stereotypical narratives to blame non Whites and immigrants for these massacres. Bolt never really focuses on the fact that it's White Christian Americans that in fact own and are the most likely people found to be armed in America and who more than likely when voting vote Red

AUSSIE KIM IMPERSONATOR SHOWS UP NORTH KOREAN CHEER SQUAD

The problem with having North Korea co-host the Winter Olympics is that freedom suffers: "A Kim Jong-Un impersonator says he was dragged out of the Winter Olympics by  'North Korean heavies' after turning up in character and dancing in front of regime cheerleaders.  Today said he was detained by cops beneath the stands for around half an hour."

"Tyrannies don't do humour. And too many democracies don't defend it." This comment is coming from Bolt who does humour extremely badly and constatly attacks Australian humour as a leftist denigration of the State calling for it to be banned from the ABC, SBS  and any Arts funding.

 America hits peak anti-intellectualism: Majority of Republicans now think college is bad - Salon.com

Republicans say no to college: It's the only institution viewed in more sharply partisan terms than the media. How well does this apply to Andrew Bolt who declares our cultural institutions nests of Left wing  activism. The Arts, Universities, Media, Immigration, Public Service etc need to be changed. They aren't according to Bolt places of diverse perspectives in a democracy but breeding grounds for subversives. They aren't places of enlightenment. Humanities, the Sciences, no discipline escapes his attention. In Bolt's view our Institutions need vetting and sorting of who people by who you vote for the very opposite of the privacy we give  the ballot box. It's just why he makes  religion people practice an excuse as well. Muslims are only 3% of Australia but command 75 % of Bolt's attention much the same as the Jews did in Germany during WW2. In other words he has very Gobellian approach to our  ideas and values and how they need to be enforced in our institutions.
Bolt runs a very conservative template over every aspect of our lives and with it distracts us from the serious divide  that most cripples us and that's not just between the have's and have not's but the historic accumulation and concentration of the inherited ownership of property, the means of the country's production and it's relationship to power and the influence to distract attention away from the material and systemic economic reality of our lives. It's why the Foxification of Australian media is a Conservative priority over and above  any exploration of data and information. Opinion and commentary are neither broad nor diverse but narrow and single minded. It's why the ABC and all our Cultural institutions that encourage thinking, analysis, scientific method of data collection need to be declared dangerous. Bolt would if he could burn the books,silence the questions and uniform the children for a hopeful new rise of Fascism. However they haven't a charismatic hero.

A Decade On, The Fraud Of The NT Intervention Is Exposed - New Matilda

Michael Brull has written extensively on the Northern Territory intervention. A decade after it was launched, it’s time for another look. On June 21, 2007, the Intervention in the Northern Territory was launched by the government of John Howard. 10 years on, I think it is important to re-establish a few points about it. "Firstly, the pretexts on which it was launched were all demonstrably fraudulent. Secondly, the grounds on which it was justified are also all demonstrably false."
Today Bolt continues to seek out selective examples from which to generalize and legitimize the Stealing of Children.

 

HANDS OFF OUR CARS, WARMISTS

First our politicians turned electricity into a luxury.  When will the Turnbull government   call off this global warming crusade that’s punishing the poor without helping the planet?  Now it's  figuring ways to make us buy cars that emit less of the gases we’re told heat the world - but it's all pain for no climate gain.

  Self-interest absolutely. 1) We have no car industry Abbott made sure of that did we hear Bolt complain not at all.  The Abbott/hockey budget declared "the poor don't drive cars". It appears they do and they are new cars and imported ones at that. 2) The major manufacturers GMH, Volvo, Toyota are all producing either hybrids or electric cars which are fast becoming the world's best sellers.  China and India are planning a transition away from fossil fuels as well. Business and finance are all investing in them. Bolt seems to find this world trend punishment park for the poor. The Dutch run their public transport trains and buses on electricity. You never hear any of this from Bolt he finds it an opportune moment to become an alarmist when businesses, consumers worldwide are in transition way ahead of Australia in clean energy transport and in broadband connectivity. How far behind does Australia have to fall with Conservatives demanding Australia to stop progressing?

GONSKI ADMITTED: HE WASN'T THE MAN TO LEAD TURNBULL REVIEW

The Turnbull Government asked David Gonski, a mate of the Prime Minister, to head a review into school standards. But three years ago Gonski admitted this about any such review: "A businessperson like me would not have been the best choice to chair it.’’

The question that needs to be addressed that isn't even raised by Bolt is why has Australia fallen to 39th in the OECD out of 40 counties all since Abbott took control and went back on his promise that there'd be no cuts to education. The greatest slide backwards stalled changes put in place by Julia Gillard. That is the legacy delivered by Mr Nope Nope Nope.

Why can't Australians do normal things like this?

Crocodile attack: Northern Territory goose hunter wrestles croc during attack in Peppimenarti

A Northern Territory goose hunter has survived a crocodile attack after wrestling the animal and poking it in the eyes.

Stephen Moreen, 20, waded into the water to recover a goose he had shot when the crocodile - estimated to be about two metres long - launched out of the water and latched onto his right arm.
The attack happened yesterday evening near the remote community of Peppimenarti, about 320 kilometres south-west of Darwin.

Crocodile attacks in NT this year

• January: A 12-year-old boy attacked and killed at a billabong at Cooinda in Kakadu
• June: Fisherman Bill Scott, 62, taken from a boat in Kakadu
• August: Biological remains found in a crocodile after a man goes missing on Melville Island in a suspected attack
• August: Man fishing on Adelaide River taken in front of wife

"We were shooting geese, my cousin-brother told me go and get the duck there," he said.
"I just walked. I got the first goose. The second one. [Then] the number three one, he grabbed my on my arm.
"[The croc did] the death roll. Lucky for me when went underwater I saw him and poked his eye. He let go. Once he let go he ran for the bank.
"My cousin-brother shot him."
Mr Moreen said he was given first aid by his brother's wife and then taken by quad bike to the nearby Wudaduk Outstation where he waited for an ambulance and drank some beer to numb the pain.
He said he was not in pain because he had been "a little bit tipsy" when the crocodile attacked.
"I wasn't too worried until I saw the scars," he said. "It made me cry.
"I'm fine, I'm alive. It could have been bad. It could have got my leg. I was about waist deep.
"I have a scratch on my back, the rest on my arm. He ripped out a bit of skin and left me with two to three holes."
Mr Moreen, from the Tiwi Islands, was visiting Peppimenarti to shoot pig, geese and emu.
He spoke to the ABC from the Peppimenarti Community Health Clinic while waiting to fly to Darwin for further medical attention.

Use gun dogs to avoid lurking crocs: Hunting president

Goose hunters should use dogs to retrieve shot birds from crocodile wetlands, said the president of the NT branch of Field and Game Australia, a national hunting association.
Bart Irwin said he had never heard of a crocodile attacking a goose hunter in recent decades, but he still took precautions such as using dogs when hunting in known crocodile habitat.
"I love my dogs but I love my legs," he said.
"I'd hate to lose one of my dogs. I try and hunt in areas where I don't put them in danger – but better them than me.

"I've been running one to two Labradors up here for 20 years. I've never lost a dog. I've never seen a dog chased by a crocodile or encountered one myself, although I have seen them at Harrison dam in the off season.
"Walking along the wall in the dry season sun around about midday four crocodiles jumped off the wall and got in the water.
"I made sure I my had dogs on the lead that day and they stayed closed to me."
Waterfowl hunting is a revered tradition in the NT and each year the start of the season - this year on September 12 - is highly anticipated by the hunting community.
The sport is managed with a permit system and quota and hunters cannot shoot after dark.
Mr Irwin said the hunter was probably retrieving his birds when the crocodile attacked him about 7.20pm.
"I'm pretty sure the times for hunting close at the moment at 7:00pm," he said.
"So he was probably just collecting his birds. That sort of darkness gives the crocs the upper hand.
"I avoid many of the areas in the dark because of snakes or crocodiles that you can't see.
"You have to be very careful around water bodies and shore lines. Anything above ankle-to-calf deep is an area where you can't see crocodiles.
"When shooting try and ensure the birds are flying in a direction so that when they are shot they will land on dry land."
