News Corporation employs Right-Wing Broadcasters providing them with a platform ensuring the inequality of speech. Their Social Media Platforms not only advocate conservative, and extreme right-wing wing views. They monitor out most opposing opinions which they are entitled to do. However, they also simply lie when they say they provide an arena for fair and balanced discussion in a no-spin zone. They don't it's all spin.
A third of the nation's infrastructure pie will be spent on addressing the state's escalating congestion problems. Victoria will get almost $8 billion for new roads and railway lines from Tuesday's federal budget, with nearly a third of the nation's infrastructure pie to be spent on addressing the state's escalating congestion problems. Given Melbourne's dramatic population growth and the burden that's placing on the city’s transport network, nearly a third of the government's $24.5 billion infrastructure budget will be handed to Victoria.
Given that since the last Victorian election when the LNP threw a freeway contract grenade into the ALP's inheritance and Tony Abbott's $3bill blackmail withdrawal of funding the Federal Government can no longer stall in withholding the necessary infrastructure funds that caused the congestion we now face without a severe backlash.
4m This banner is little more than an attention grabber a PAYWALL lead for the Herald-Sun. Has Bolt really nothing to write about? The man who brags that he works an 80 hour week while people like Duncan Storar do nothing began his weekend on Friday morning and really took the time off until last night and started his 4 day week with little more than a banner that suggests a connection between two totally unrelated events. He 's so loose with his facts that he doesn't even bother to check his facts. the girl was 14, not 13. Bolt wished he could say 10 no doubt. So let's do the same because I can't access Bolt's "column". I can, however, compare two events and ask a more poignant question just the same.
Take George Colomaris pushing a soccer fan about as hard as Sophie Mirabella pushed Cabinet MP Ken Wyatt to prevent a photo being taken with Indie Independent MP Cathy McGowan. George did it for the honour of his mother who it was acknowledged the fan wasn't flattering. George was charged fined and forced to apologize and lost hundreds of thousands of dollars in sponsorships and banned himself for a year from the game he loved. He missed Melbourne Victory's Grand Final win this weekend. Andrew Bolt on the other hand in public went feral on 2 pranksters who threw some glitter on him, yes just glitter. So much so Bolt lost it and on video too. He clearly attempted what could have easily been seen as GBH Grievous Bodily Harm. He even proudly admitted to kicking one prankster in the crutch and punching him on the jaw. But Bolt didn't stop he made every effort to do more. Caught on camera Bolt wasn't humble in fact it seemed as if he was having a bi-polar manic - moment and it lasted for days. He wasn't just pleased with himself but publicly called on others to do much the same and take courage from his example and go out and punch suspicious lefties. He even put up his glitter stained suit for Auction. The question remains today WHY WAS HE NOT CHARGED IF GEORGE WAS? George had to defend himself did the Murdoch legal pit bulls come out to defend Andrew Bolt who seemed mentally challenged in the way he responded.
Cathy Mc Gowan said she wasn't pushed. The Newspaper apologized Bolt doesn't mention that, does he? Yes, the Newspaper got it wrong. But McGowan was hindered from having her photo taken with Ken Wyatt and intentionally so by Sophie Mirabella. She wasn't obliged to intervene in anything Sophie did and minded her business. She didn't intervene with Mirabella stopping Wyatt or the reporter writing a story and getting it wrong. She walked away from the stupidity. Mirabella's victory is and will be proven to be Pyrrhic the woman has a record of own goals as long as Tony Abbott's. Yes here we have a case of Andrew Bolt verbally "glittering" "staining" Cathy Mc Gowan but she being a woman and ergo wiser than Bolt will let this slide through to the keeper.
Guess this reads as if Bevis and Butthead a.k.a Blair and Bolt are defending themselves again against the attack of the "freak bats" the "me too" brigade and what they call reverse genderism making them male victims which however does not exist. What does exist however is an inequality which they deny and which squarely places them on the conservative right-wing that resists any cultural change despite the fact that Capitalism is slowly destroying communities families and filling individuals with resentment and anxiety due to financial dependance forced on them. Resentment is pervades all classes those at the bottom and even those at the top who fear loss both economic and cultural. What seemed was a rampant misogynistic, brutal but " very normal" culture, when revealed for what it was at Fox News, had the top cockies all fall off their once thought secure gold perches. That success then spread to the Entertainment Industry where Cosby and Weinstein et al were shown up as examples of the norm rather than exceptions and it has now reflected itself in the publishing as well. What we see in this lengthy post is is an attempt mock, deflect, distort deride and hopefully confuse and to suggest that men are victims being attacked by women who really want to take the place of men. All this to segue to Bolt's statement "What are the odds of a leftist New York literary figure being selfish, demanding, dishonest and a total arse? A trillion to one, I bet."Bolt
How Butthead of Andrew Bolt suggesting only "leftist" women would call out rape and misogyny. What are the odds? The odds are short in Bolt's case his probable history, accompanying jokes and urgency to deflect with a nudge, nudge, wink, wink in order not to focus on inequality.
Bevis and Butthead underying regret is they aren't like Indian upper caste men. They then could just throw petrol on their female accusers, not jokes and derision and burn them .'I am that girl' - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)
Bolt has given up and has accepted the fact that Labour will win why? It's in the interests of News Corp's business model which changed when Abbott was thrown out of office. Have Abbott become the leader in opposition again, run a full frontal attack on the ALP with a nope nope nope approach to policy. Revenue will continue to flow from the BCA and IPA lobbying and advertorial fake news as always after all influence has been proven by 2850 anti- Muslim articles in a year and the division they created. The same could be done for any number of things with Abbott back. Unfortunately, the Turnbull government isn't as sympathetic to this political approach and has left the ABC in place as a trusted corrective to Murdoch's narratives.
What for a moment has any of this got to do whether or not the Russians conspired to disrupt the 2016 election in Trump's favour? Trump declared no such thing occurred Meullers investigation has declared interference did.Now Bolt is sidelining away and deflecting to the fact that CNN and MSNBC "Cheered the Russian Rally" hammering in what Meuller discovered that America was ignorant of the fact along with Fox and all the media outlets.
Bolt a non-supporter of Trump until 12/10/16 did a 180-degree turn for the Murdoch Corporation's sake a real man of conviction spinning like the weathercock he is. He joined the Trump bandwagon in declaring Russian interference never happened. Now in another before and after story he's claiming what? That everybody was conned and that the Russians did scam America. What a two-faced grub he is trying to play three card monte. chase the ace and street hustle his ideas.
9m So Bolt get's global "scientist" Rowan the mouth Dean to advise him on renewable energy and technology. Dean the Managing editor of Spectator Australia has almost sent the magazine to the wall ensuring it won't be renewable or supported by the UK. For a start Despite Coal Lobby, Australia to Double Solar Energy in 2018 | Informed Comment and that this year alone. "Wind and solar are making up the bulk of new electricity production (solar is 46% of new energy in recent years) and by May of last year, renewables provided 17% of Australia’s total electricity production."
Now that's Australia wide even with the LNP putting the brakes on with the states taking those brakes off Weatherill will provide the confidence of a massive growth in the Industry. Musk proved a point that will spur finance and technology to turbocharge the state. Didn't these two clowns notice that their predictions of continuing blackouts this summer didn't occur? They were completely wrong.
The amusing thing is SA is doing, while the Bolts and Deans of this world are just motor-mouthing off in a world where "doing is being" and BS that science is just a religion will take the country into the smog-filled dark ages in the dystopian future. These are the guys that believe in "clean coal" now that's religious.
Bolt's still pretending the mission and target isn't Malcolm Turnbull for Abbott's sake and Barnaby Joyce is just the patsy, the wood duck for his Murdochian scheme. The fact has been established by others and Bolt just jumped on the slow train that's agreed that Joyce the Nationals retail Polly and leader is corrupt as and not just a one time snake in the grass but the complete package. It wasn't just a one time mistake. Bolt however in his rush to get Turnbull tripped over his own two left feet and tried to be the priest in the confessional box saying Barney's sorry and should be forgiven and allowed to carry on. Now he's covering his tracks because corrupt practice and much more is coming to light.
35m The fact that the whole of the ACT knew along with the press suggests Bolt knew too. The only people that didn't, were the voting public. We just had a vote on marriage equality Turnbull voted for Joyce against along with Bolt and Abbott. Joyce, Abbott and Bolt have proved their misogyny within the family circle time and time again. Turnbull voted for equality and declared it along with 65% of Australia and now these sexist alpha males in their own minds are trying to stone him for it once again. The word is 'equality' and it's not in their lexicon the women have been trampled and the only person to recognize it is too. Their poofter bashing Turnbull trying to do a Wake in Fright on him while he's away and simply shaming themselves and wallowing in their ignorance doing it. They are kicking the victims and who are they everyone who voted for equality and who knew what the whole of the ACT knew and kept stum. Even women like Albrechtsen lay down cop it and then defend the Wake in Fright lifestyle we support by not waking up. They all now just want to get Turnbull to leave town permanently. That's their defence the jury 65% of the voting public doesn't see it their way and 11% don't know but as this media mob have the megaphone in hand they have been banging on about it for 2 weeks why to convince the public to think otherwise. Peter BH, Bolt, Albrechtsen, Richardson etc etc etc isn't it strange they all are pros on the Murdoch team and so anti-Australia
As usual, Bolt looks to individual cases and yes children should be removed from harm but when removal becomes a one glove fits all trend that even according to Bolt allows room for mistakes so many that it's possible that a trend develops along with an industry that goes beyond a case by case approach. So were mistakes made yes were they institutionalized yes. Were the children treated honestly and with the TLC professed it appears not. Bolt just can't seem to get his head around the fact that trends developed and treatment meted out akin to indentured labour. That kids were lied to molested and not treated in a proper manner. But then Bolt believes that kids deserved everything they got at Don Dale too.
Bolt and Blair, Butthead and Bevis prove one thing they don't know how the AHRC even operates. Quick to see if there is any justification for a complaint. In Yassmin's case not under the Act. If there is a mediation process to resolve it the speed of which is up to the parties concerned. Failure the parties can take it to the courts the AHRC doesn't. Bill Leak wasn't delayed by the AHRC nor were the Qld students and yes the system works don't let Bevis and Butthead convince you the process doesn't work.
Bolt is a swinger isn't he one day declaring he's a conservative not Progressive or Libertarian and rails against both next he's jumped the gutter and declares Libertarians need protection. One moment he calls Turnbull a conservative and in the next, he's not "How often Kelly forgives Turnbull for betraying the conservative or libertarian causes that a Liberal Prime Minister should actually champion." Turnbull simply put isn't a conservative but a small L Liberal and Paul Kelly who Bolt isn't having an office affair with accepts him for what he is when Bolt can't. "So Kelly may be right to say conservatives are losing many battles. But he should join some dots and admit they lose more of them when Turnbull is the Liberal leader." Bolt. He's a sideshow isn't he a distraction. He twists he squirms he wriggles and he worms each and every way to change the perception of an argument. The battles lost are many by the conservatives 'in' the Liberal Party today but as many as the ones lost when they were in control of the Party which would in any reasonable persons terms be a tautology. Bolt often reduces everything he says to tautologies meaningless statements that offer nothing to the understanding of reality or simply the same thing said in a hundred different ways as an offer of pro
noun: tautology
the saying of the same thing twice over in different words, generally considered to be a fault of style (e.g. they arrived one after the other in succession ).

19/02/2018 Mr Joyce is to be dumped as leader of the Nationals, with Senator Bridget McKenzie to take over as interim leader before a later Cabinet reshuffle that is likely to see Riverina MP Michael McCormack take over the top job in the party.
Bolt's like a tired old echo. However, as much as Murdoch has ordered a blitz on Turnbull and Bolt is doing what was ordered time and time again keeping Barnaby Joyce in place means the end of the LNP. It's simply not in MP to commit political suicide simply on behest of an American who runs a corporate media chain. As much as Bolt bangs on about Turnbull having to go it won't happen because this isn't the only dirt on Barnaby. The tide can't be held back on the "bonking beetroot"
Shari Markson from Murdoch's stable didn't break the Barney Story but did raise it to political thunder to discredit Malcolm Turnbull our PM
Only after billionaire media mogul Rupert Murdoch gave the nod to his News Corp foot soldiers last week to proceed with publishing the truth about some of the scandals surrounding Mr Joyce, did other journalists suddenly somehow discover their reporting mojo and investigative capabilities.
Media mogul and political kingmaker Rupert Murdoch (Commons)Over the past week, news headlines in Australia have involved almost nothing else apart from the struggles facing Mr Joyce. The headlines have even travelled around the world with media in the USA and UK reporting on Mr Joyce’s troubles and travails. Clearly and obviously this story was in the public interest. But why not in October and November last year when Mr Joyce was facing an important by-election in New England caused by his own ignorance of his citizenship status?
IT's A PAYWALL NOT A POST Bolt is obsessed with Miranda Devine and runs a Trump-like tweet " "The Prime Minister has been enhanced, as even the most bull-headed conservative will one day admit."Devine. He somehow expects us to believe Turnbull caused this poll crash to his approval rating and not the media reporting for the last 11 days by News Corp that it was Turnbull that was at the eye of the government storm. Newspoll Paid for by Murdoch is generally made public on Tuesdays how is it that Andrew Bolt publishes the results on a Monday? Like Trump, he'd too would swear to no collusion. This post takes the shape and form of one done by the Don flaying at everything in sight. If it wasn't the fact that Bolt is a leading man in the Murdoch stable this post would be hilarious for its amateur effort to sell papers. Guess Bolt also blames Turnbull for this National's antics "The post comes just days after 17 people were killed in a shooting in a high school in the US.
Proof positive Andrew Bolt it's not Turnbull's fault but partners like this and Joyce and media like yours that have soured Australia. However, they haven't raised Abbott, have they?
Controversial Queensland MP George Christensen has been reported to police after posing with a handgun on social media.On Saturday, Mr Christensen posted a photo of himself aiming a gun on Facebook along with a post saying, "You gotta ask yourself, do you feel lucky, greenie punks?"
Bolt's over eagerness drowns out the fact that the LNP have improved. Is it any wonder given Murdoch's frontal blitzkrieg on Turnbull that his personal appeal has gone down and here's Bolt doing his best to boost the idiot Abbott and put him back in the frame. Abbott/ Joyce now that's a combination worth consideration, isn't it. Australia hasn't any politicians worth respect, not any the media can put forward.
Let's face it there has never been a choice in Bolt's mind but then he lost his when he was handed this job years ago always just a work in progress stuck in a rut
1h7 Bolt choice isn't one it's his cry for Tony again. Triggered by the fact that Tony cried he'd never do it. Murdoch needs to put him on the IPA's shoulders and triumphantly escort him back to Rome . One needs to ask did Bolt plagiarize this article in IA by Passant written as far back as 12/2/18?
Malcolm Turnbull denies that his vitriolic presser yesterday was meant to shoehorn the Nationals into dumping Barnaby Joyce. Yeah, right, he just tipped gasoline onto the Nats’ already-burning leader just for the heck of it. #BringBackAbbott#auspolbarnaby
16m Bolt claims to have "damned " Barnaby Joyce with a feathered whip. Yesterday he explicitly blamed Vickky Campion for Joyce 's demise. and might as well have damned Natalie his wife for not backing Barnaby up. Having posted that now Bolt says " I wouldn’t be the only conservative presenter on TV getting an avalanche of emails from viewers furious that I’ve damned the Nationals leader."
LIBERALS LIKE TURNBULL'S BONK BAN LEAST
Here is a curious fact about the support for Malcolm Turnbull's new nanny-state ban on Ministers having sex with staff. According to Newspoll, Liberal voters like it least and Labor voters like it most. Isn't that a metaphor for Turnbull's leadership?
Bolt what sort of an idiot justifies his argument on the basis of the most least liked in a poll Andrew Bolt does. He doesn't happen to mention that when he says "liberals like it the least" he's also including the Nationals Barnaby fans in his use of the term "Liberals". They aren't exactly Liberals. Somehow using a negative as a positive against Turnbull hardly carries any weight. Furthermore, using Bolt logic decries Turnbull a "weak leader" and praises Abbott for his strength. Yet it's Turnbull whose challenging Bolt's "least liked" not Abbott. So it's Turnbull whose acting like a leader here, acting on his conviction and going against the least liked majority. Bolt & Abbott who are sucking up to that 31% majority Bolt so much thinks is so important. Confused, of course, we are and Bolt intends it to be that way. He believes in male dominance in the workplace in the family and in society as a whole. Read it in the blog post where he clearly states Joyce was the victim of Vikky Campion's incompetence and implying Natalie Joyce's as well they simply didn't do their jobs well enough. What Bolt fails to emphasize is that the coalition vote was in fact 57% in favour Turnbull and only 31% made up of Nationals as well against. Having just flipped the poll table suggesting that the "least" most popular is significant he's ducking reality for semantics. It's the same old same old ploy Bolt uses to suggest he's indigenous and a victim of black or reverse racism, a victim of reverse sexist aggression and generally a victim of the leftist elite of Australia generally. But then Bolt fights for the majority of 1% Australians who own 70% of the nations wealth and demand control over the security, policing, media, education welfare and arrangements under which we live which often tend to be the most least liked. "Joyce isn't is strife for the sex"Bolt
I agree why wasn't Bolt judged more severely by Justice Bromberg for his serial vilification and lying? Bolt's repeat offender. Further why were the police so lenient on Bolt and harsher on George Colombaris. Colombaris didn't have the GBH intent that Bolt showed yet not charged. Bolt even celebrated the fact and incited others to do the same.
Bolt doesn't ask a judge but simply a shill a lawyer available to Murdoch media 24/7 for advice. Simply a gun for hire to defend people like Bolt. Hardly an unbiased commentator more a parrot on side of the media corporations ready to say what they want and get paid for it.
It leaves the question unanswered why are our courts so soft on Corporations like the media, banks, insurers etc that have killed hundreds of people citizens over many years and have had the time to think about the morality of their agendas and have sacrificed nothing for their bottom line only to be hit with a feather duster. Quill is a corporate lawyer making no comments about the corporate crime he's called on to defend
