BULLYING STORY GOES SPLAT. WHERE'S THE SORRY?
COLUMN For three weeks the ABC obsessively pushed fake news: claims that the federal Liberals had a culture of bullying, particularly of female MPs. So how about an apology, now that this fake news has gone splat?

They say a gram of gold can be stretched so thin it will reach the moon that's what Bolt does with his work each week. he stretches stories that start as blogs, repeats them, and repeats them like rolling and thinning out homemade pasta, and he calls that creative work. When and if you read the guff he writes he adds nothing to the knowledge or information bank of his readers. He's the Peter Foster of media telling the public he works 80 hours a week and has something to say.
Bullying of female MPs in politics is a perfect example of his repetitive buffoonery and distractive performance that tries to tell us that democratic politics is good politics when bullying takes place and that if it's too hot in the kitchen for women they ought to get out because what they call bullying is meritorious adversarial politics.
The fact is the goal of politics isn't the battle it's the outcome the service to the nation and when it's adversarial nature becomes more important to the service the nation is the loser and that has been the case for the past decade in the Liberal Party. Some might say it started with the ALP but while Gillard, lead a troubled party she was still breaking records and having Bills passed for the nation doing the work of politics and what she was being paid for.
That all came to a sudden halt when Abbott became PM and the work of politics, ground to a halt with Abbott's focus on nope, nope, nope achieving nothing in the way of service to the country. Politics wasn't any longer a merit judged on efficacy but merit judged on a pugilistic game which Bolt calls politics and women want to apparently change. That change is what bothers them the most as it would reveal the Liberal sham for what it does best and that's nothing. The 25% of women in the Liberal Party are sick of that game and want it changed because they can clearly see that the ALP are way ahead with 48% women in their party and the party is ready willing and able to break Julia Gillard's record of service.
Bolt's simply a banshee bouncing up and down yelling "name the bullies, name the bullies, see, see they can't". It's because it's the very nature of adversary in a divided party that makes it a bullying party not better but worse, out of control and a waste of money and time for the Australian public, SPLAT!!!

Andrew Bolt doesn't care about facts he has opinion on his side
Bolt really does struggle to prove his idiocy, doesn't he? Adam Goodes, Bill Leek, and now Mark Knight were all similar occasions of Bolt simply making a fool of himself. Gladiators were worshipped as heroes back in the day too rich and famous they pulled in adoring crowds but nevertheless they were slaves to an industry too. Bolt would be the media guy back then denying their status and trying to convince us that in the big picture they, in fact, were the kings who owned the Colesseum and the business of that Gladiatorial blood sport.
Mark Knights mocking Cartoon in context is a window into American society as any cartoon can be. It lays bare the underlying truths of America's Capitalist history, the structure of the tennis industry, the role of the individual player in it of women's standing and in particular the racist nature of American society. Bolt's ignorance extends to the fact that he too is the happy dumb ass slave to the system and can't see it. He too like Williams despite being rich white and comfortable isn't the owner of the full value of his labour either News Corp and the structure of the private media industry is. It's precisely why the ABC and those that work in it have far more integrity than Andrew Bolt can ever have or achieve. Bolt's been with News Corp since the 80s and can't leave it for fear of being spat out and forgotten. which will inevitably happen simply said he's not a free agent but the organ grinder's monkey. Open your eyes and stop lying to yourself Andrew Bolt. (ODT)
The Perth community is reeling after two Aboriginal teenagers lost their lives in strong currents while trying to evade police on Monday.
Indigenous kids so frightened of the police tried to swim the Swan River in Perth and drowned. What were they doing "jumping fences". If it were white kids it would never have happened as deaths in custody just don't apply or have any relevance in the white community. It can't get worse than knowing these teens were so afraid they'd risked their lives in Bolt's non-racist Australia.
Racism was amplified by the reactions and comments of white Australians on social media that reflected what Australia should not just be ashamed of but disgusted with. (ODT)

Let's face it Bolt's attention to facts is as biased as the Leaning Tower of Pisa. While the elites of Melbourne are committing violent acts against the population of this city and running riot Bolt ignores them in favour of America to look for evidence he can't seem to find here so he can conflate his seeming generalisation from the USA to here. His chances obviously slightly better in a population of 350 mills than 5 million in Melbourne
Meanwhile, ex Xaverian and Melbourne Grammer students, like his own children, are involved in street bashings, running drug but go not unnoticed by Bolt but unmentioned by him as do the 330,000 crimes committed against the working class left of Australia by a single Insurance Company unbelievingly called Freedom Insurance. Bolt simply pays no attention to the White Collar and violent crimes of his dearly loved conservatives he regards the true Australians. It's more than odd that Bolt who claims he's fighting for equality for all of us never mentions these transgressions and imbalance in offence numbers committed by those who simply believe they are the entitled.

Bolt's ability to produce "fake banners and news is boundless". The fantasy " Malcolm Turnbull now tries to destroy the Liberals, in revenge for sacking him three weeks ago:" Now the reality "Former prime minister Malcolm Turnbull has been texting and calling Liberal MPs to urge them to refer Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton to the High Court."Bolt
Apparently failed dumbo Dutton coup, leader and Abbott's puppet is now, according to Andrew Bolt
" the Liberal Party". The fact, however, he's not and more than Turnbull others believe he should be referred to the High Court. Bolt doesn't mention that, does he?
The threat here is to not allow Liberals to vote according to their conscience to deal with the divisive conservative minority as Australia would is simple
" Turnbull wants to destroy Dutton for challenging him. In doing so, he will destroy new Prime Minister Scott Morrison, too. If Dutton falls, Morrison's Government will lose its majority. The controversy Turnbull is causing should also cost the Liberals Turnbull's seat of Wentworth. Goodbye, government." Bolt
If you dock the tail of a dog you don't kill it, in fact, working dogs were docked to improve their ability to perform work more efficiently.
Gillard ran a minority government and passed more bills than the Liberals ever have and twice the number of the Abbott government.
So Bolt's threat is just that a threat and not an argument for efficiency.
Getting rid of Dutton in the eyes of the public would, in fact, raise Sco Mos stocks not lower them and unite the party.
Here's Bolt trying not to compare Turnbull with Abbott ."What a selfish, vindictive man. It is so in character for him to want to burn down the house in spite." Bolt. He's such a naive man, isn't he?
Abbott's daughter voted against her father as did his sister on Marriage Equality, in fact, they campaigned against him.
Bolt's not in any sense of the word arguing for any principle simply a side that's not even representative of the Liberal Party and it's broad church principles. It's a minority faction that remains determined to take it over or destroy it.
It has in the past said it would leave the party but hasn't. It wants to take the party over but doesn't have the numbers to do anything other than divide and destroy it. Dutton was Abbott's stalking horse in that regard he's proved doesn't belong.
Dutton should refer self to High Court, Bishop suggests
Former foreign minister says if a vote is called on Peter Dutton's future, 'I will make up my mind at that time'.
