Australia Day honours

 Has there been any study done that reflects the history, and sociology of the honours awarded to Australians? What would a focused and critical study reveal? The LNP currently wants Critical Race Theory removed from our Primary, Secondary and Tertiary Education Systems. If not totally excluded then significantly diluted. It in fact the LNP would like to see all critical examination of all of it's policies reduced or minimized from our mainstream media. Consequently they have in the past 8 years reduced the ABC's and SBS budgets by $1Bn dollars and have advocated the greater privatization of news and current affairs programs in their "free market". Their claim is that Murdoch Costello and Stokes Mainstream serves us, the public, well. The past 8 years have never seen debate more smothered and  government propaganda more funded and promoted by this private media  sector that now sees Goebellian propaganda as an  "investment" and any criticism as "Fake News",

The LNP have however supported the establishment of degrees in the controversial specialist studies like Western Civilizations privately funded by donations from Ramsey Center to the tune of $3.3bn. Mussolini's dream sure seems to be being built here in Australia.

Australia Day honours will be announced this week, and, if recent announcements are any indication, they are likely to generate considerable public debate. In 2014, there was the re-establishment of knighthoods and damehoods in the Order of Australia under then prime minister Tony Abbott. The next year, Prince Philip was infamously awarded one of the revived titles. The past decade has seen increasing scrutiny of the gender balance in the awards, while individual honours, such as those given to writer Bettina Arndt and tennis champion Margaret Court, have also drawn criticism. This is not necessarily out of keeping with the longer history of the honours system.

For years successive Australian Governments have proved they’re racist by repetitiously maintaining that real Australians Support Australia Day while Aborigines, Indigenous Australians don’t.  However what’s obvious is the exclusion of the Indigenous first peoples which couldn’t be more celebrated, in your face, racist and clearer for the world to see.

“We” claim proudly claim to be a multicultural inclusive nation but with two major exceptions. That successive white colonial governments have demanded assimilation of Indigenous Australians, having taken their land, made every effort to rapidly obliterate and disrespect their culture by lowering their social status, and generationaly steam rolling their psychological identities for over 220 years. The consequences of a historical victim-blaming mindset continues today. When we say it was never our fault why should we be blamed.

When conservative Australians speak of Australian identity they insist it be recognized culturally as predominantly Western White, Christian,and Male and all others are expected to bow in recognition of the day that gave birth to this nation and it’s institutionalised patterns of behaviour that systematically still exist today. Their Australian Calendar,” begins in the racist year zero” and on the 26/Jan. 1778.

More than two-thirds of respondents aged 26 and under say they won’t be celebrating on January 26, with just over 30 per cent saying they will. But more than 80 per cent of them support moving the date for the sake of improving relations with the Indigenous population, as do more than 70 per cent of those aged 27 to 41. Support for change dropped among older respondents, with just over 30 per cent of those 56 to 75 and 25 per cent of those older supporting a change in date.

Let's not forget what Conservative Australia did to Yassmin Abdel-Magied she spoke up and held a mirror to Australia too and was run out of the country. Yassmin was an Engineer, TV personality, a Social Commentator and author and under 30. She was run out of the country for doing what Grace Tame was celebrated for and now being condemned by Scumster supporters like Andrew Bolt who dreams of living in the Netherlands.

Her willingness to criticise Scott Morrison has won her many admirers. But it has also generated a backlash from conservative figures.

Andrew Bolt's Blog, 30/6/16; Bolt's Blog is not a big part of his 70 hour week it's the make up he needs; Barbies are fun fires are not; Abbott fixed the budget Bolt calls hima liar; Abbott criticizes LNP strategy; Global freeze; Bolt calls for regression; Bolt's free speech in an Orwellian world;

 

Ipsos poll shock: Labor and Liberals tied

When the John Stone voting strategy could lose it for Abbott. Go DelCons just do it.

 

The shock for Bolt is Labor could win if so Abbott has lost the ball game for 8 years at least. It's all possible "erk" to quote Bolt . It's a pity there are so many unregistered youths that won't get to vote this election. Aren't the Libs fortunate. If Abbott had been the leader he would have recruited them to enrol and vote Labor.

 

 

Brisbane launch to come

 

A book of promised repeated stale and regressive ideas. Sold to an exclusive group of fat cats by the IPA and The Spectator at heavily discounted prices promised even before the official launch. Don't be scammed it will be a give away with steak knives before you know it soon.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Brexit didn’t hurt that much after all

Bolt claims he's not a Tribalist

 

Brexit

 

White Priviledge

 

Bolt is getting this one in as quickly as possible because if it does begin to hurt, no when  it does  begin to hurt he can blame it on anything other than the  massive con by the right wing and media scare campaign that went with it. When wiser heads than Bolt are saying Brexit is still not a forgone conclusion because it must be passed by parliament waters have been calmed. Bolt is yelling Brexit is done and dusted it hasn't even begun. He made a fool of himself declaring this was a united vote by the UK when it certainly wasn't. Scotland  Ireland and London just became a whisper for Bolt.

" Were all those people preaching doom - costing investors worry and wealth - just playing chicken? Or were they genuinely clueless? "Bolt

The true Bolt was seen for what he is clueless when he interviewed James Matheson and found the young man was running rings about him . Bolt bolted out of there as fast as possible he realized he he had met his match. He just couldn't make James look stupid. His producers told  him to wind Matheson up and promise to have him back "very soon".  Now that was a lie from a man trying to play chicken with a man he thought was a boy. We won't see James again at least well after the election and I in fact suspect never again speaking of who is  the chicken. Bolt embarrasses himself  so often and when he does he never says sorry. 

Bolt did that with his Metropolitan, Cosmopolitan, elites none of who were really Conservatives just Turnbull's all being punished  by the base. The only problem with this the base is Labour and working class retirees scared shitless by Murdoch's Sun's front page and UKIP's remorseless lies about the NHS, a Muslim Invasion, Unemployment and the want even of the Queen. All this for the personal advantage of Farage, Johnson and Gove.

 

Abbott will win another election

The wisdom that sure pours out of these dolt's from News Corp is the sort that needs a good dose of Immodium. Democracy no matter how squeezed or stretched is evolutionary and not revolutionary. The relief felt last year however was ridding ourselves of Tony Abbott who was doing a poor version of Putin who would never have been caught dead in red speedos. Abbott did get the Rusky colour right.  He embarrassed us internationally, became an international  joke, and was voted the worst leader in the West. We never  did find out if he was still a UK citizen dreaming of queen and country when he ought to have been promoting a Republic years ago.  The IPA has been around as long as the Liberal Party and don't kid yourself that the policies put forward were Abbott's they weren't. They came directly from Murdoch and his cabal of mates. The only real substantive progressive changes made to this country were made  by Whitlam, Hawke and Keating.  The Liberals have only been regressive in their outlook sending us to war seems a constant with them. Tony Abbott’s top gaffes: Onion, sex worker, abortion and women offered to us by News Corp

 

 

 

Labor must dump Andrews over this despicable deal

 

I guess Bolt's model of voluntary firefighting instead of professional action makes  sense  when you see your insurance bills going up for the fires started by the CFA . The fact that communities have to have chook and other raffles to keep the CFA equipped makes sense to Bolt. Raffles and barbies are certainly fun but fires aren't.

 I wouldn't complain if News Corp ran it's papers and other media outlets with volunteers. If they did we'd surely get a better balance of views. However if volunteers were called in I bet Bolt would regret he didn't have union backing.

 

 

 

 

Abbott: budget repair an issue not “developed” in this campaign

 

Bolt totally ignores the fact that Abbott and Hockey said they fixed the budget and it was smooth sailing ahead. Apparently according to Bolt both were lying to us and went on a spending spree despite the bull. Abbott's budget repair was over red rover Bolt. So why turn back the clock. We'd be worse off with Abbott and Hockey even less bills passed more money spent and all past records  records broken with the negotiating skills of nope nope nope.  That was surely an era that needed to be aborted. What is Abbott's popularity rating today?

 

 

 

The great pork-barrel election that dooms us to dangerous debt

Bolt claims he spends 70 hours a week and all he does is deliver a whinge. If ever there is a long blog it's really at the behest of trolls.  Bolt has in fact done very little today.

 

 

Turnbull trashes Abbott again

This is a knee jerk reaction to something that can't be denied. Was this a response to Abbott's open criticism ot the election strategy. Turnbull's remark no matter what nerve it hit was the truth where Abbott's was history. History these guys can't let go of. Could anyone imagine reliving life with Abbott cemented in the past. Bolt can because he was Abbott's boy.

Abbott in fact trashed Turnbull and it's in today's papers this blog is merely the counterweight to Abbott's disloyalty when he criticized the election strategy.  Not enough about the boats. You see  it's a world of me me me and not we we we to these guys.

 

 

Global cooling is scarier

Whose headline is this? Murdoch's Media of course

Bolt predicting a trend oops! This Bolt is a trend

 http://static1.squarespace.com/static/56530521e4b0c307d59bbe97/t/576bee172e69cfe8cbcddf57/1466691102855/?format=500w

 

Bolt isn't shy he kept telling us the globe has been cooling for the past 19 years, science is just a religion and warming is little more than a socialist plot. Does anybody feel the man is a relic of the 50's cold war? Bolt does sound very much like the general in Dr Strangelove. It's plot to rob you of your bodily fluids. Ask yourself is Bolt's blog little more than nihilists corner. Things you'd never read to your kids before putting them to sleep unless you think mental illness is fun.

 

Column - The top five campaign disasters that decided this miserable election

 

 Back to the future Abbott's cry in opposition was the "the sky is falling in" In government "we fixed it folks" Instead of arguing for consistent and steady government what do we have but Bolt  simply recalling the old mantra "the sky is falling in"

Truth let Turnbull win and we can bring it on and get rid of him and fuck collegiate government bring back Abbott, Bernardi, Abetz, and Christenson and the uniforms they have already been cut. Bring back the Boats, Illegals, ISIS, and Coal


 

 

Meet Dr Activist

 

 Bolt's Slogan to Slavery in an Orwellian World. Family friends neighbours with opinions and questions are dangerous

" Trust no one but yourself in an election campaign. Believe nobody:"Bolt

 

Yes Murdoch's Media and Andrew Bolt hate professionals particularly if they are members of associations with have opinions like the AMA. They'd prefer it seems an Orwellian world of amateurs who are far easier to control and powerless.

So when a DR Marr says he's not a member of any political party they call him liar why? Simply because he has an opinion.  Opinions are "verboten "  in Murdoch's Australia. Oh Yes you can try but when Murdoch owns 66%  of print he controle the resource to silence opinion that's  what Bolt calls"free speech". Yes Murdoch's business is silencing truth and narrative control.

“I’m not in any political party but I have been a family GP for over 40 years and I’ve seen how important Medicare is right since its introduction,’’ Dr Marr says at the start of the advertisement…"Dr Marr
