Two right-wingers debating on who is the more right wing with a right winger commentating.

TURKEY'S HARDLINER THREATENS DEATH TO AUSTRALIANS

Turkish president Erdogan threatens to send Christian Australians home in "a casket" in response to the Christchurch massacre. It's a brutal reminder of what's really driving the extremists, and it sure isn't what Pauline Hanson and Scott Morrison once said in Australia. My editorial from The Bolt Report.

3h

So there is no equivalency about extremists anymore it's about how much more right-wing are the slogans of Muslim leaders than right-wing Australian leaders. There is one thing Bolt never really distinguished between the left and right. The left-wing extremists don't have a history of terror only the right wing do. Abbott sent bombers to the Middle East to bomb ISIS a right-wing militant fascist group further right than he was. However, in that useless political and military process, he knew innocent people would be killed, and he'd generate even more hatred of Muslims against Australians. Abbott killed more than 50, and he didn't have to hold the gun. How many Australians has Erdogan liked I can't recall any? However, I can remember Hanson and Scott Morisson cheering him on.

What we seem to be witnessing here is a battle of words between right-wing bullies but when push comes to shove only the Australians actually did any killing.

'Torture you to an absolute delight': Far-right extremist's violent threats ignore

 

Cyclone Idai could be the deadliest tropical cyclone to hit Africa ...

https://edition.cnn.com/2019/03/19/weather/cyclone-idai-mozambique.../index.html

11 hours ago - Tropical Cyclone Idai ripped through Mozambique as a high-end Category 2 storm with 175 kph (110 mph) winds last week before moving ...

Did climate change play a part in this?

Put simply, yes. Warmer air and waters result in more moisture in the atmosphere that is available for storms.

And as we saw with Hurricane Harvey and last year's Hurricane Florence, climate change is resulting in more abundant rainfall-producing tropical cyclones and hurricanes.

Mozambique ranks as the third most vulnerable nation in Africa to climate change due to its susceptibility to extreme weather such as floods, droughts and cyclones, according to the Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery. 

It is predicted to have been the worst recorded in the southern hemisphere. Will it get Climate Change deniers attention? (ODT)

PETER RIDD SCANDAL HITS THE COURTS: A SCEPTIC FIGHTS BACK

FREE SPEECH Professor Peter Ridd was disgracefully sacked by his university after calling out alarmist "science" claiming the Great Barrier Reef was being wrecked by global warming. Next week his important case hits the courts, and the IPA has released a short film explaining just what's at stake. Watch.

1h

 Talking about advertising the IPA is being promoted by Bolt. There seems to be more than only a random association between the IPA and Andrew Bolt his son James was given a job with them. They podcast together. They made Bolt a contributor to a book once published about Climate Change facts put together by Alan Moran who they then sacked. Was that unfair dismissal? Andrew Bolt was promoted as a leading world expert on Climate Change that's how much fake facts were between its covers. Bolt's not and never has been an expert on anything with no qualifications or credits to his name. Bolt's even a hack when it comes to journalism. He proudly admitted he prefers opinion to the rigours of real journalism because he just hates the work required gathering verifiable facts. In other words, he's a self-confessed slack arse who went from writing obits to propaganda.

Peter Ridd in the same vane as Andrew Bolt walked away from the rigours of his discipline to become a paid opinionator lowering the Universities academic standing to become a lobbyist. He's been dismissed for breaking the original contract he signed with James Cook Uni and is now running an unfair dismissal case with the paid support it seems of the IPA and other well-heeled Climate Change Deniers. The case isn't about the Science of Climate Change at all.

 

SLEEPING GIANTS EXPOSED. HOW WE LAUGHED

EDITORIAL I said Sleeping Giants, hounding advertisers to try to kill my Sky News show, was pretending to be vastly bigger on the Internet than they really were. Today they finally stepped out into the daylight to run two monster protests against Sky and News Corp, with the help of GetUp! and the Greens. What a fiasco. I hope advertisers were watching.

1h
 18.3k followers 55k likes no indication of the number of retweets, but Sleeping Giants have certainly caught the ATTENTION of Andrew Bolt. A faux bravado comes with what appears to be underlying paranoia. He doesn't tell us the degree of damage done. Advertisers have walked we know that and Bolt "wishes" no "hopes" they see the size of the Sleeping Giants. Well, Bolt thinks they have landed solid punches. The fact is, however, the advertisers walked because 1) they one didn't want to be associated with the content of his shows and 2) his ratings and value in the market place.
I for one began using Pool Werks because they left Bolt and I will never buy a Mitsubishi or subscribe to Belong for my NBN Co use. However, I've never looked at the Sleeping Giants Twitter page. Thanks to Andrew Bolt now I will. I'm sure they appreciate the advertising Bolt has provided them with that's what seems the real FIASCO here.

PERROTTET AND HAMMOND CHANGE THE CLIMATE

Journalists are again reacting with horror without actually asking: is he right? Because he is: "NSW Treasurer Dominic Perrottet has doubled down on comments where he claimed government spending on climate change is a 'gratutious waste'." Add the scepticism of impressive new candidate Celia Hammond and we may finally get a serious debate.  

12m

PAYWALL
The thing that stands out more than most with Bolt these days is that he went totally silent on Tony Abbott's jump to the left. When Abbott totally compliant on the Paris Agreement the once again and his acceptance that Climate Change is a reality.  He's no longer for coal-fired power stations to be government funded or that the government's policies are just a gratuitous waste. Direct Action is still ok and the way to meet our obligations. Not a single bleep from Bolt. Bolt's been having a hard time lately because the 24/7 media cycle can't move fast enough for him.

 

ERDOGAN'S THREAT AND DUTCH KILLER HELP EXPLAIN CHRISTCHURCH'S HORROR

COLUMN The Christchurch massacre set off a savage witch hunt in Australia for politicians “complicit” in this horror. But the shooting of three people in Utrecht should help us to better understand why our world now seems to crackle with danger. So should the threat by Turkey's President to kill Australian Christians. The tribalists are our real enemies.

I don't know what Bolt's connection to a Dutch shooter has in "explaining the Christchurch "horror"?

Other than the actions are both right-wing. Just because the light is being shone on politicians and media alike to examine the prism through which they have their world views Andrew Bolt is jumping to their defence but more so his own. Australia still despite Multiculturalism has an extremely conservative and colonial social psychology within which power and privilege lie. Andrew Bolt raised by a mother who disliked the place taught Bolt who never felt Australian that merit wasn't the only way up the social ladder and Bolt has applied that most of his life who you know is more important than what and you need to mirror those you want to impress. A simple formula for generalising the path to success.

The world in 2019 is a world primarily seen through the prism of the Melbourne Club. Everybody is mostly cut from the same cloth. Since Christchurch, however, the danger they face is their words and attitudes are being put under a microscope. Did anyone notice how they all took to Trump's pathetic effort at trying to declare an equivalency between the left and right extremes? Bolt loudly proclaiming himself to be innocent of any history of racist or ethnic vilification. Just as he's now trying to do the same for the above politicians. However, their Weltanschauung world view shows otherwise their histories like Bolt's show otherwise. Bolt, in fact, supports others who are far more vocal than even he is in their racist ethnocentric and anti-religious views.

The crackle of danger in Utrecht isn't a left/right divide it's simply right-wing, and it's been promoted encouraged on our airwaves and by our politicians on platforms offered for over 2 decades, and since Abbott, it became the norm. 

The difference between left and right is the left do hate the extreme right as much as they hate ISIS who are also extreme right and Bolt along with the politicians named have more in common with radical Islam extreme Christians, and it's been showing for decades.

TOO LAZY TO ARGUE: BRANDS OF OPINION

COLUMN We no longer have debates. We instead have branding exercises for people too stupid to think but too vain not to have an opinion. Two perfect examples in yesterday’s media - a serious report by serious experts warning of the damage Labor's emissions policy will cause was lazily dismissed with claims it had the taint of "Abbott" and "Trump".  

1h7

Branding exercises; merely turn on the Bolt Report is the format anything like the ABC's  The Drum, Q&A or even Insight where the guests are of diverse opinion. Argument and debate are the focus and the outcome of that diversity. Does The Bolt Report in any way shape or form resemble that or is it a replica of Fox Corp USA? Andrew Bolt is an opinionated Anchor reading and autocue travelling a one-way street named rhetorical question here's my answer or here's my guest's response. Now that's too lazy to argue.
Bolt has to have sensationalism or else his show is boring as batshit repetitive night after night and his advertisers are becoming increasingly worried about their association with him who and what he represents. After Christchurch looking back Bolt comes to relief particularly when he was silent for 3 days to come out and then declare "it wasn't me" drawing attention to the fact he was very much an accomplice in the young shooters life along with the guardians of conservative culture that took us to Vietnam to fight the 'gooks' and commie 'slopes'

ABC OFF THE LEASH: THE ASTONISHING TUDGE INTERVIEW

The ABC is paid by all taxpayers. That is why it has a special duty not to be biased, unlike private media outlets such as The Guardian, The Age and Sky News. There's even a law demanding the ABC be impartial. Yet it has been hijacked by the Left, which was demonstrated dramatically yesterday by Jon Faine's clash with Alan Tudge. Read and listen.

6m
  One of Murdoch's attack dog's to destroy the ABC Bolt spends an enormous amount of time focusing on our Independent Statuary Public owned broadcaster 50 % of Bolt's career has been due to the ABC. Where would he be without it?
The ABC was getting $1 Billion a year back in 1984  and Bolt makes out that's a lot. Would he accept his 1984 wages today? The private media are entitled to be biased according to Andrew Bolt, and they are. However, are they entitled package their bias and sell it as news in most cases the ACCC would class that as a fraud, not news. The ABC has been investigated by this government and Bolt ignores the result that no bias was found, so we have only Bolt's opinion on the matter which then is biased and fraudulent. The fact is the government has been dog whistling on Immigration and now has dropped the immigration intake by 1%. For the past 20-years, infrastructure failure has congested our cities, and the Federal government has held the states to ransom as we well know in Victoria.
As far as the Faine interview goes it's long, and Bolt asks you to listen to it or just take his word for it, and Bolt does that a lot knowing full well people's attention span isn't that long. Faine is testing Tudge, and he has every right to the ABC is there to challenge both sides of government to get to the truth. Such as the government claims it cut immigration when it hasn't it's capped it at where it already is. The government hasn't done anything about infrastructure for 6 years and it says it has to negotiate with COAG is that's what's held it up? It's improving "planning" so what Tudge is saying is yes John we've fucked up.
Remember Bolt's original statement "I'm private and can say whatever I want and can be biased to the max". Well, he's just proved it, and he does each time he speaks about the ABC. It's why he's not trusted, and the ABC is, and it's why Fifield had shit up and admit there is no bias at the ABC.

 

Most people want higher taxes on rich to support poor – OECD

In all 21 countries included in the OECD study, more than half of those polled said they were in favour when asked: “Should the government tax the rich more than they currently do in order to support the poor?”
The OECD said the survey of 22,000 people was “deeply troubling” and revealed that nearly 60% of respondents do not think they are getting their “fair share” back for the taxes they pay.

  Peter Ridd's sacking pushes the limit of academic freedom | Gay Alcorn | Opinion | The Guardian

 

I hate to say it because we know what this is really about. The cause of Ridd has been championed by those parts of the media and certain institutes – well, the Institute of Public Affairs – that have done all they humanly can to stop serious action in this country against climate change.
They have no interest in fair-minded coverage of the weight of scientific evidence, now overwhelming, that human action is causing global warming, and that urgent action is required globally to limit its dangerous impacts. Their interest is ideological, with an endearing lack of self-awareness in their charge that the “warmists” are the ideologues. They leap on the 3% or so of scientists who argue their colleagues have got it all wrong and would risk everything on those odds.
So, it is not that these Ridd champions – Andrew Bolt, Terry McCrann, the Australian, which now reports as fact that Ridd is a “marine science whistleblower”– have any inherent concern about academic freedom.

James Cook's actions are premised on the belief that the University is greater than just the individuals within it and unlike Thatcherites Society or the University does exist and it's patterns of behaviour are there to deliver outcomes beneficial to everyone in the excercise and methodology of in this case Marine Science. Science and it's methods of scepticism being the essence.

Ridd however demands a bigger space and the breakdown of the rules of discourse declaring the university as meaningless. As did Thatcher when she said there is no such thing as Society only individuals and the power they and their interest groups can enforce. Ridd refuses to see James Cook as a Collective wants to bring down it's structure and tradition like a house of cards. What's odd is here we have a conservative fighting for academic anarchy and being supported by the right wing traditionalists of the Murdochians media. However James Cook isn't simply soapbox corner nor does it feel the need to be reduced itself or it's reputation to one. So they are assisting Ridd in his right to remove himself and to find a soapbox from which to continue his opinions and be heard. In other words they are did him a favour by sacking him. He has found the forum  or ear of public opinion but that's all (ODT)

 Tipping point': Unilever to run Australian plants on 100% green power

 

 Consumer goods giant Unilever says it will run its Australian manufacturing plants entirely on clean energy within two years, with the country having passed a "tipping point" where going green is no longer a financial disadvantage

It won't be long before NewsCorp stands a lone voice on fossil fuels and even Andrew Bolt will fall over the tipping edge

ABBOTT: KEEP ON THE LIGHTS. BUY LIDDELL

Former Liberal leader Tony Abbott says AGL has acted like a villain by refusing to sell the giant Liddell coal-fired power station, preferring to shut it to drive up prices for its green power. The only option now is for the Turnbull Government to force AGL to sell it.

40m
Confiscation under the guise of a national emergency is confiscation. Then the flip and quick sale to a competitor is akin to an organized mafia scam. First, you see it then you don't because News Corp will cover it up as something entirely different. Bolt certainly allowed Abbott the time to do so, in fact, he had more time than Bolt allows others. We also keep hearing the word debate on the Bolt Report yet we never see one. For that, we are forced to the ABC.  Confiscation is hardly conservative it is even so far to the right that it's, in fact, fascist and entirely contradictory to what the LNP free-market political ideology represents. Abbott literally said it was the government's duty to police prices as if we were at war. Well, we aren't at war and this, as much as Abbott would have it, isn't an emergency it is just another Chicken Little scare tactic which we have seen time and again.

Here we have Andrew Bolt promoting Tony Abbott's call for a action more Cuban, a move on AGL's dirty, obsolete, Liddel power plant. Fidel Castro simply took over the United Fruit Company's sugar plants liberating Cuba from the slavery of the American corporation's oppression of Cuba. How communist of them. The problem is nobody is oppressed Abbott simply wants to the government to confiscate it and handball it to Alinta or some other company ready to do his bidding and that's a Mafia act.

Abbott has done a lot of stupid things since gaining, losing power and now trying to regain power over the LNP. He got rid of a mining tax to allow mining to flourish. It didn't. It cut costs and began shrinking instead. He said nope to Labour's concept of a brand new fibre to the home internet and created an MXT NBN a Frankenstinian monster that doesn't work and whose cost has blown out of proportion so much it can't ever recoup the money invested. It is obsolete before completion. Now he's trying to tell us that a transition to green energy will never be a cost-effective, cleaner healthier energy source left to our kids. That it's is far more expensive than coal.

He is using the hip pocket argument that horse and carriage depots used when cars were first seen on roads. They too were a waste of time that prices will go through the roof and Australians can't afford to leave their kids with a cleaner environment and a healthier one that was the horse and carriage. However, the Corporate experts in Science, Technology, Business Finance have all said he's wrong as too have the shareholders in coal and abandoning ship. So why is he trying to destroy AGL he's proven he's just a failed politician.

 Since Abbott came to power in 2013 Australia's unemployment has been rising not falling our deficit growing and he passed the least number of bills at a slower rate almost breaking Gorton's record in the 60s.  TodayAustralian workers wages are stagnant and Abbott was the catalyst. Peoples hip pockets are vulnerable. No doubt in the short term cutting energy bills sounds good but we have a history of Abbott's promises and ideas not working.  Short-term policies to get numbers on side simply means don't do anything progress is dangerous, so call in the government and stop it. How authoritarian can one get? Should the AGL board be arrested? If the government can force corporations to dance to their tune and Abbott is the example why on earth would corporations even bother to invest here? 

Abbott also wants the ABC closed down and sold as well strange the ABC refuses to sell to News Corp like AGL does to Alinta. They wouldn't sell it to Murdock at any price. The hypocrisy is evident. First force AGL and the ABC to sell to the government then to anyone the government chooses. How Castro of them. It doesn't matter how Bolt spins this there is nothing "free" in the action no principle being adhered to simply self-interested politics not what's best for the nation. 

UPDATE

WHAT ABBOTT AND BOLT DON'T TELL YOU. ADANI OFFERED THE INDIAN GOVERNMENT HIS BRAND NEW STATE OF THE ART BILLION DOLLAR POWER PLANT  FOR 0. 05 cents. 

HE"S NOW OFFERING IT TO ANYONE. WHY DON"T ABBOTT AND BOLT BUY IT? 

Cheap solar and wind energy prices are killing India’s coal power plants — Quartz

 Over the last year, wind and solar power tariffs have fallen to a record low of around Rs2.4 per unit, much lower than the average of Rs3.7 per unit at which analysts say coal-based power is currently being sold on India’s power exchanges.


ADANI

Initially, Adani had planned to run its own vertically integrated “pit-to-plug” operation, taking coal from the Galilee basin, transporting it to Adani-owned power stations in India, and increasing profits by cutting out middlemen. Up to 16m tonnes, a year from the proposed Queensland mine was earmarked for the Mundra power plant in Gujarat.

But Mundra has since fallen into serious financial difficulty, making the “pit-to-plug” vision largely untenable. Adani’s subsidiary Adani Power has a net debt of about US$7bn. Last year it offered to sell majority control in the Mundra power station to a government entity for one rupee.
Mundra and other privately run coastal power stations have to import coal because of Indian rules that give state-owned entities control over the domestic resource. As world coal prices have spiked, those same power stations have struggled to turn a profit. The Indian association of power producers has claimed that coal is unviable in India at prices above US$70 a tonne. The current price is about US$95 a tonne.

DEFEND PETER RIDD FROM THE WARMIST CENSORS

Professor Peter Ridd has been sacked by the James Cook University after questioning scientists claiming global warming was destroying the Great Barrier Reef.  What a shameful day for Australian universities and Australian science. My editorial from The Bolt Report.

1h
What is shameful, Bolt is simply repeating what he already said last week a carousel of commentary which keeps coming around and around again. Last week he proved he knows nothing about the structure of universities and how they function and now the second time around he proves he really doesn't care. Bolt declares we need "good science" and Peter Ridd offers that with no research only opinion. Bolt demands debate any paid opinionated denier of the global peer-reviewed research is the true sceptic Bolt included science despite it's constantly published research is just a religion with fake methodology.  So the 1% of deniers should get 50 % of the time that 99% of scientists get in the public debate. The fact is when it comes to Bolt and News Corp they get 90% of the time.
 Research is not required nor opinions peer-reviewed and naysayers are called true sceptics by Bolt they are the ones that build a universities reputation. Now that's the sort of excellence Bolt expects from our Universities the global standard required but while he's got the microphone he fails to say that's not debating but preaching. In Bolt's eyes Universities are little more than structureless free for all of ideas, preachers corners and soap boxes, no departments, structured debate necessary. No reputations to uphold by adhering to globally recognized methods of argument or peer-reviewed debate. James Cook is recognized as one of the world's best Marine Science Departments, not a house of simplistic opinion scattered to the air the loudest voice the winner.
Reputations in research attract the best staff. the best research funding and students queued up to learn and James Cook is acknowledged to be at the top of Marine science.  Yes, there are universally accepted methods to research and debate to which staff when employed sign contracts of adherence. Peter Ridd did just that but has crossed the behavioural line and has been sacked. Not surprisingly either as he was given warnings which he ignored. Bolt calls this sacking a disgrace because in his opinion campuses are little more than agoras of "free speech" and in which Ridd is being denied his freedom. He's been sacked and he's been told he can say whatever he likes but no longer as a member of staff at James Cook Marine Science because he's brought it into disrepute. Bolt actually applauded when the same happened to Dr Martin Hirst at Deakin University. He even liked to believe he had some influence in that.
So in all of this bru-ha Bolt really has no guiding principle, does he? He has no idea what science on a University campus actually does. It seems an anarchy of ideas no rules is all that's required for excellent science and just calling science just another religion justifies being a true sceptic. His functioning model of a university campus ensures the complete reputational destruction of a multi-million dollar institution. Basically, no university is just speakers corner a  free for all theatre where the loudest and most powerful win. It's not News Corp. Tony Abbott tried to adopt that model. He even tried to bribe universities to take on "what his name" that once world-famous side-show spruiker he called an expert who seems to have disappeared off the face of the planet. Abbott was ready to pay $4,000,000 for his hired gun who'd be hard pressed to get a job as a tutor today. Bjorn Lomborg where is he now?  Oh, Bolt even referenced him in his editorial describing what excellence means on a university campus.

TONY ABBOTT: SACKING SCEPTIC PETER RIDD IS ATTACK ON SCIENCE

Tony Abbott on the scandalous sacking of Professor Peter Ridd: "He happens to question the politically correct orthodoxy about man-made global warming. If we can't have debate, we can't have true science." On The Bolt Report tonight: Assistant Minister for Science Zed Seselja. Meanwhile, Ridd's Go Fund Me campaign hits $260,000.

39m

"I have no reason to think he hasn't done his teaching and his research in a highly competent and professional manner he happens to question the politically correct orthodoxy about man-made global warming."Abbott
1) Why doe Abbott protects himself with the phrase " I have no reason to think he hasn't done his teaching and his research in a highly competent and professional manner" He doesn't sound too certain does he? Is it because his peer group don't?
2) The fact is Peter Ridd hasn't debated the issue as a scientist but simply as a denier where is his highly peer-reviewed and competent research? Andrew Bolt is a denier does that mean he has the qualifications to become a member of the Marine Science Department at James Cook? I'm sure he thinks so.
3) True science has looked at the facts published their results had them reviewed and has continued to do further and further research. It hasn't stopped and the results keep pointing to the facts such that 97% of scientists agree that the planet is warming due to human activity. a) that the Great Barrier Reef is in danger and b) that danger is a direct consequence of global warming.
4) There is a world of sceptics out there using a methodology that's proved itself to be the best epistemological basis for man's knowledge of the physical world outside him and its called Science. The majority of scientists agree despite being sceptics in the true sense and not flippant deniers for any other illogical reason  such as Abbott's " true science is what corresponds with the actual facts out there and that's what we have to get to the bottom of."
5) The fact is Mr Abbott the ship is in and science agrees while it's the non-scientists who are the flim-flam men trying to run the narrative. The only attack on science is coming from idiots like Bolt who claims to be a sceptic and calls science just another religion and offering no epistemological basis on which to pin his greater wisdom/

Yes, you can stand for Palestinian rights without being Antisemitic

It needs to be said once again
 I grew up Jewish, in an environment strongly supportive of the Israeli state. But I don’t support the way Israel treats the Palestinians, particularly when they slaughter unarmed people as they did this week.
Many Israelis oppose their own government’s treatment of the Palestinians. Left-leaning Israelis vote against Prime Minister Netanyahu, and they oppose Trump’s inflammatory decision to move the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem. The same is true of millions of Jews here in the United States.
Of course, Palestinians protest. Life has gotten worse for Palestinians since I visited, particularly in Gaza. Some call Gaza an “open-air prison” and compare Israel’s treatment of Palestinians to South Africa’s apartheid. If Israel has a problem with Palestinians protesting, improving those conditions makes more sense than killing people.
Calling anyone who critiques the Israeli government’s policies and actions “anti-Semitic” may be a useful way to silence dissent, but it’s not at all accurate.
Israel is not Judaism. We can and should have a healthy debate about Israel’s policies and U.S. policy on Israel, just like we debate anything else in politics.

Tamimi child arrested again

Also on Sunday, Israeli undercover agents disguised as Palestinian civilians arrested teenager Muhammad Fadel Tamimi in the occupied West Bank village of Nabi Saleh for allegedly throwing stones.

Muhammad was forced into a civilian car with Palestinian licence plates and taken to a West Bank detention centre.
Muhammad was released hours later after he was determined to be in poor health.
The 15-year-old is recovering from devastating head injuries after being shot with a rubber-coated metal bullet fired at close range in December.
One-third of Muhammad’s skull was removed as a result of his injury.

Muhammad was arrested by Israeli forces in February while awaiting major reconstructive surgery and forced to falsely confess, without a lawyer or a parent present, that his skull injuries were incurred after he fell off his bike.
His 17-year-old cousin, Ahed Tamimi, was sentenced to eight months in an Israeli prison for slapping and shoving two heavily armed Israeli soldiers shortly after Muhammad was shot.

  Archbishop of Adelaide found guilty of concealing child sexual abuse

 Bolt prefers to name and shame Indigenous Australians and laugh at Julia Baird for saying Christians who attend Church regularly are likely child molesters. Bolt vehemently denies the statistics that surround the Catholic Church and the Order of St John of God it's strange, isn't it? Guess it's Indigenous that take sex tours to East Asian Countries. Bolt seems to have had his back turned to all the Australian Child molesters and pornographers. He keeps singling out alleged indigenous cases however and seems obsessed.

Adelaide Archbishop Philip Wilson has been found guilty of concealing child sexual abuse in NSW.
