US submarine in underwater collision in South China Sea

  A group of former US officials and experts has written to the US president, Joe Biden, warning the deal could threaten US national security by encouraging hostile nations to obtain highly enriched uranium (HEU). At the same time, the former Australian prime minister Malcolm Turnbull says if Australia does buy the submarine reactors without a domestic nuclear industry – and therefore the nuclear expertise – it will be “more plug and pray” than “plug and play”. The former Nato deputy secretary general Rose Gottemoeller has called on Australia to make a new deal with France to use their uranium, which is not weapons grade. That would heal the rift with France and ease nuclear proliferation fears, she said.

 When IBAC did notify NSW- Media

 The resignation of Gladys Berejiklian has resulted in mainstream media revealing their apathy towards corruption and their Liberal Party bias.

Berejiklian’s resignation ignites mainstream media lovefest

 

 WHEN IBAC DIDN'T NOTIFY VICTORIA-Media

The fact that Peter Costello's Ch9 have no evidence of what IBAC is doing never prevents them ( I don't really know, Nick McKenzie etal ) printing bullshit as fact. All their "journalists" need say is "according to sources and records obtained by The Age." Needless to say these sources, and they are wide and varied, remain unnamed and tightly held.  Yet the journalists would have us believe they are inside the very minds of the IBAC commissioners and know them better than they know themselves. "The Independent Broad-based Anti-corruption Commission now intends to hold public hearings into"....

 The greater liklihood however is that Matthew Guy is back and the LNP dirt brigade has become more active in order to boost Guy's seemingly tougher stance in opposition than Michael Obrien's. Little Matt needs a boost given the shellacking he took at the last election.

The problem for The Age is that they need to be providing news for all Victorians and not just a few. We have noticed that the print version now looks more like a LNP leaflet than a newspaper purchased for it's crosswords,word puzzles and Sodoku.

 Victoria’s anti-corruption commission will hear evidence during about how public grants to ethnic groups were used for political purposes.

Andrews government knew three years ago about problems at centre of corruption probe

Gladys, whose involvement with a corrupt boyfriend where she either deliberately ignored his behaviour or was dangerously incompetent at noticing, resigns before an investigation and there’s a general bashing of teeth at the unfairness of it all. This is the middle of a pandemic and changing leaders is not something anyone should want. Dan, who may or may not be appearing in an IBAC investigation which may or may not be about his behaviour, is « refusing » to stand aside and « stubbornly » continuing to lead his state and refusing to answer questions that may be a breach of the law were he to talk about the inquiry which may or may not exist. We’ll probably know more in the coming days. And if it’s discovered that Andrews has appeared then it’s only right that he should be placed in the stocks and publicly flogged, even if he was only appearing as a witness where he is cooperating to help bring to light branch stacking in the Labor Party. (Branch stacking doesn’t occur in the Liberal Party; they only have aggressive recruitment).

Coronavirus pandemic

Leaked emails show hotel quarantine system was cobbled together, stretched

As the Victorian government rushed to set up hotel quarantine for international travellers in late March, even the private security companies hired to help were confused about who was in charge.

Apparently, Australia's great supporters of Private Enterprise CH9, News Corp are heavily against governments using the privatised system so dear to their hearts in cases of emergency. They seem to want governments to set up fully state-managed and parallel systems and have them ready in a crisis.  Closet Socialism seems to be what they have in mind. Instead of blaming the operating system, they support that runs on the smell of an oil rag which they also support but demands maximum profit for it's owners. Instead of that needing change, it's easier to "blame" the Dan and the ALP government rather than their privatised security system.
The very opposite was heard when Dan wanted to professionalise the VFA then the hewn cry by Ch9 News Corp and the LNP Opposition could be heard all the way to China. However, now they seem to demand Andrews Socialises those Private Security firms takes them over and regulates them like the Chinese Communist Party would.  Criticism is so easy from the bleachers when leadership is watched but not required.

Coronavirus pandemic

Coalition MPs tell Andrews: stop 'blaming everyone else'

An inquiry into Victoria's handling of the coronavirus pandemic has split along party lines.

Imagine what leadership would look like if these peanuts O'Brien Riordan and Vallence were in charge. Privatise, Deregulate, Cut Costs. sit back and watch a crisis develop or reverse the system you demanded and deregulated solve things better.  Private security firms so important to the LNP's philosophy fucked up, sweep that under the carpet. Private aged-care regulated by the Federal LNP government fucked up, sweep that under the carpet. Morrison tried to and called it the "Victorian Disaster" simply because of ti's location. Now Dan Andrews shouldn't speak out and let Victorians know what's what in their zoo. 

 

Jobs fears, call to boost stimulus as state restrictions drag down national economy 

Both the International Monetary Fund and the Reserve Bank have urged governments to keep spending to minimise the growing economic impact of Victoria's lockdown

It just doesn't stop does it? There's a war going on and Ch9 is complaining about the National Economy being "dragged down". No, the National Economy is being "saved" by the deployment of a 6-week lockdown needing to be enforced because what was recently the most successful state in the country has been hit and it's our workforce hit the hardest Health Supply and Retail. The borders closed the Federal Government publicly declared it wasn't going to maintain the level of supports people needed to survive and the pressure was on.

 As a result, people simply kept on working and lying about what it was they were doing not isolating! They were told as far as Morrison was concerned freebies were being cut and it was every man for themselves. Told basically to go back to work. The most successful state in Australia that kept the economy going had a problem and had the leadership necessary to instigate a temporary 6 week stop rather than allow a 6-month drag to occur. A reopen U-turn was called for and listen to what's happening,  the Politics of propaganda on the front pages of our MSM, not the support required and it's even International being used by Donald Trump.

FAKE NEWS

CORONAVIRUS: WE CAN'T LIVE LIKE THIS. AND SPARE ME ROWLAND'S DISGUST

The World Health Organisation now says there may never be a vaccine for this virus. So can we really keep living this way? Spare me the fake sentimentality of the ABC's Michael Rowland, who says he's disgusted when I point out that the young are smashed to stop the very old from dying months earlier. My editorial from The Bolt Report.  1h ago  

 Bolt should watch the ABC and he might just have some arguments against the Vic Gov. He just might learn what critical news and information distribution is about. Tangible facts that Bolt fails to even address.

Here we go it only took a day off blogging and Andrew Bolt's changed direction again somebody in the WHO said "might".

 No, we can't "keep living this way" Capitalism can't save us the free market system is diseased and has been a lot longer than the arrival of COVID-19.  Yet we have heard Bolt demanding that Dan Andrews and Government do more of what he's against regulation. It "seems" to him that Dan is just st shooting from the hip. When quite the opposite is happening and it's Bolt shooting a shotgun while locked in a barn and missing everything. It's so easy to be critical of something so complex isn't it? One minute declaring a "police state" the next why isn't more ADF called in. Overreach, underreach Critical thinking isn't just a matter of throwing mud hoping some will stick. But isn't that what Bolt is doing putting "all" the blame on Dan not a word about Scott Morrison's involvement in the shit that Dan Andrews has been left to deal with.

 Rowlands is right what's disgusting is Bolt is a divider cleaves for the purpose of dividing for some self-interest no interest in problem-solving at all. Aged -Care homes are the problem they always have been Bolt hasn't for a moment focused any attention to the fact they never were Dan Andrews immediate issue they have always been Abbott's/Turnbulls/ and Morisson's problem and one they refused to face.

However, Bolt's defending today what it is he's been denying previously that in an economically rational world we should be allowing the old to die not over concentrating on the extension of life. Suicide is painless 50- 80% of people in aged-care don't want to be in death's waiting room on a user-pays basis transitioning their wealth to some private operators.  Yesterday it was do everything possible to save them according to Bolt "Dan" isn't when it was 75% Scott isn't. Today it's protecting our young ensure they become indebted before they are allowed to live like adults. However, that's not what Flipper Bolt was about yesterday or was it the day before?

Meanwhile, Dan Andrews is in his war room collecting every bit of raw data he can from all the expert organisations that are available to him to plan strategies that will allow us to transition through the crisis Victoria has found itself in. Unlike Bolt he's not talking about himself he's assessing real circumstances the reality he has to work with the complexities that are involved and the best way forward in the hope of delivering the best outcome.  That's called leadership a foreign word to private MSM Look at Blot's banner it "me" and not "we " he's talking about.(ODT

Another example of the Liberal Party’s inability to responsibly show leadership during a crisis.

Like Deb Frecklington’s flip-flopping shown yesterday, here we have Victoria’s Tim Smith in a more outrageous and moronic display of being contrary just for attention and not for the health and safety of Victorians.

Tim Smith complains Andrews is a control freak and at the same as weak and inactive. Which is it, Tim? Authoritarian or not authoritarian enough. It seems like he can’t make up his mind, but when it comes to who’s a “friendless loser.”.. #IStandWithDan is a repeating trend. And so is #DimTim for that matter.

The leadership shown by Anastasia Palaszczuk, Mark McGowan and Dan Andrews should be remembered.

By the same token, the pathetic jibes of the Liberal National Party during this crisis should also be remembered.

 

 

CORONAVIRUS THEATRE: PRETENDING TO KEEP SAFE

Karol Markowitz on the absurd security theatre of this coronavirus scare: "We do things that have no bearing on our actual safety but that make us feel safe. Take masks. It makes sense to wear masks inside businesses or for any close contact with strangers. But why are people wearing them outside, when they’re not near anybody?" There's more.

1h ago 

 

When the Titanic was in crisis all the minutia of possibilities weren't delivered to the crew and passengers to individually choose in their moment of crisis. Bolt and Markowitz offer nothing that resembles leadership here. Not a shred for all of us to act on to achieve a common good. All that's being offered in this crisis is "overreach" the ship isn't in trouble don't listen to the captain "every man for themselves". The game is on Richmond are playing to win there is no "I" in team. Bolt and Markowitz do.

Bolt and Markowitz should be muted not shut up but turned off.(ODT)

CORONAVIRUS: THE OLD DIE, BUT THE YOUNG TREMBLE

Adam Creighton on Gen X fragility: "Survey evidence... found young people in Australia were more than twice as worried about the coronavirus impact on their own health as those aged over 75, who are at far greater risk... Almost half of that group also said they had been 'emotionally affected'..., compared with 8 per cent of the over-75s."

2h ago 

The young have a life to be lived and not curtailed but we have heard Andrew Bolt tell us what Greta should do we have heard him say he'd be the first to tell his daughter what not to wear but he's not a Muslim. He simply said time and time again and shown that the young should be seen and not heard. It seems he's changed his mind but to reticent to say so here.(ODT)

BILLIONAIRE OPRAH DENOUNCES WHITE PRIVILEGE

America's poor whites will love this lecture from this oppressed billionaire: "Billionaire media mogul Oprah Winfrey declared ... that 'whiteness' and 'white privilege' afford unspecified benefits to white people in the 'caste system' of America." The sweeping generalisations suggest that being "anti-racist" now is less about principle than power.

3h ago 

 Money doesn't declare what it is or what it isn't you can see most clearly. Education is a greater starting point and it's why Warringah is without Tony Abbott today. 16.5 thousand Dutch Jews of 156000 survived WW2. The Dutch mythologised for 40 years about how they protected them. The taught the stories of Anne Frank in schools and not The Cut Out Girl or the facts that took 40 years to come out. Even the Jews didn't know the full horror of the Dutch experience. The Germans, after all, didn't invade the Netherlands and the Dutch public service ran the country yet less than 20% of Dutch Jews survived. But these weren't things to be talked about or taught in schools. Andrew Bolt certainly doesn't and he has told us he feels more Dutch than Australian and he's proved that often enough. Should we say that's bullshit?

Bolt promotes false histories as necessary and uplifting and any critical revelation that they're bullshit as destructive no matter who reveals it. Nobody said there aren't any blacks in America that have shared "privilege" or here in Australia like Stan Grant and Warren Mundine. However in their case, only one of them places in a context that informs us and it isn't Mundine. By the way whatever happened to Mundine who was a regular on the Bolt Report? Wasn't he caught out  in some financial rorts(ODT)

 

BEIRUT EXPLOSION: JUST FERTILISER?

The first explosion is bad enough - but the second is monstrous. What was in that building? Ammonium nitrate, or explosives?: "Lebanese Health Minister Hamad Hassan says at least 25 people have been killed and more than 2,500 are wounded in a massive explosion at the port in Lebanon's capital, Beirut." It won't be just 25.

10m ago 

Yes, Bolt "just" fertiliser. We suggest you search for the facts not just your preferred fantasies!! Particularly because you have better access. Your "public" suspicions have encouraged violence in the past.   
What is Bolt doing here? Doing what his bosses require him to do fish for subscribers. They are losing them and everyone is required to pitch in. This is an example of saying less is sometimes more. 
There have been major, major chemical and waste fires occurring in Melbourne in recent years in private storage dumps  Bolt makes no comment about why? Guess we aren't close to Israel... just a thought.(ODT)

@MrKRudd

Let's get this straight: our ever-so-responsible Morrison Govt admits a $60 BILLION ‘reporting error’ in JobKeeper! The same Morrison who crowed only the Libs could be trusted to manage Australia's finances? Of course the Murdoch protection racket lets them get away with it…

 

Let's disengage from China ... slowly and carefully

Shaun Carney

Columnist for The Age and Sydney Morning Herald

As China becomes more belligerent in its strategic and diplomatic behaviour – unquestionably, this is happening – it will be in our interests to reduce our reliance on it and to develop new markets, just as we should also deepen our regional partnerships.
But that should be done quietly, without harming us in the here and now. The debate over how we engage with China is one we must have, but it can easily be derailed if our leaders speak and act impetuously.
Because of the Prime Minister's overt global politicking, which China was bound to see as a Trump-based initiative, we've got a barley export industry that's set to fall over and a beef export industry that's also in trouble, possibly with other sectors set to follow.

The quality of our journalism really does stand out doesn't it here is Carney telling us to cut our tie with China but do it quietly be Chinese about it as if China was dumb deaf and blind and hadn't noticed that we were actin as if tied to America's apron strings. America's Pompeo is making hell of a noise threatening us because Dan Andrews is being diplomatic. Somehow Carney believes they haven't noticed. It shows what The Age has become since being taken over by Ch9 a twisted version of Murdoch media rather than an alternative to chasing after their advertisers.

'Very white' Australian commercial TV broadcast to Pacific in soft-power push 

Australian television shows like The Voice, Border Security and Neighbours will be broadcast in the Pacific under a $17.1 million soft-power push against Chinese media influence in the region, but critics say local voices should be the priority.

Truly sick aren't we Tony Abbott having got rid of Radio Australia and shredding the ABC giving China the opportunity to provide what Australia did for 75years has the LNP deciding we need to come back and come back with an old patronising South African/LNP version of South Pacific.

 Australian television shows like The Voice, Border Security, Neighbours and MasterChef will be broadcast in the Pacific under a $17.1 million Australian Government project at a time when China's diplomatic and media presence is on the rise in the region.

SACK THEM FOR THIS $60BN MISTAKE

Terry McCrann: "The head of Treasury, Steven Kennedy, and ATO Commissioner Chris Jordan must both be sacked... The statement put out by the duo jointly on Friday to 'explain' why the JobKeeper program was now 'only' going to cost $70 billion instead of the estimated $130 billion was quite simply an attempted butt-covering disgrace." 

What a load of crap by McCrann and Bolt trying to stick their heads above the parapet to be noticed. These two know that all forms these days are computer-generated template applications. The issue that a program didn't distinguish 1000 incorrect filled boxes out of 9000 is simply bad programming. Readiness to spend $130 bill was declared great policy.

 The cry "sack them" is scapegoating and a walk back on policy and not a technical error. They didn't cry "sack them" when business heads intentionally spent years robbing workers of their wages and Super. Shortchanging them of their benefits and even more. 

Their aim is to sensationalise themselves and not even consider why and what the problem now is. Kennedy and Jordan aren't the excuses for Frydenberg's current error walking back on a promise and policy considered necessary. Scapegoating is easy. However, given Frydenberg and the LNP saw $130 bill as a reasonable and necessary amount to spend to save Australian workers at this time why now is $70 bill being regarded as going over the cliff? The "backdown" in policy is the issue that stands out and not a computer error.
Bolt's made costly mistakes at News Corp to the tune of hundred's of thousands of dollars and he's still with us we didn't hear him calling for the sacking of News Corp's legal advisors or that his mistakes were theirs.  

JOBS NOW. THINK OUTSIDE THE SQUARE. CHECK OUT PERROTET

Hmm. One man seems to have a more practical plan to get people working. Morrison's: "An overhaul of vocational education focused on tradies and skilled workers."  NSW Treasurer Dominic Perrotet's: "Businesses would be given more freedom to spill into... footpaths, into parks and converting streets into marketplaces." There's good science to this.

15m ago

 Let's rather remember how Tony Abbott supported by Murdoch drove science and research and our brightest and best out of Australia and now the LNP figure they have an opportunity to correct that and attract them back with our brag of no Covid-19 here. 

 Only 7 years have passed and Liberals are wanting to turn that around and declaring that there's something urgent and in need of being fixed. 5000 super-smart immigrants needed to be coaxed here using to Covid-19. Scammed without need to change the budget or funding policies Abbott put in place that drove them out in the first place. No need to provide support for the work they declared unnecessary because it interfered with the Climate information and the technologies they didn't want us to know about.  Abbott tried to bribe universities with $5mill to take on the failed CCC and Bjorn Lomborg.

Bolt has ignored his part in media promoting Abbott's plan and turned his attention to the exciting news that the whole of Syndey could be turned into a street market like Lakemba, saying "there's good science to this". He for one wouldn't attend.

Trump has smeared himself countless times no lesson learned here. He smears himself each time he steps in front of a camera.

Looking for sympathy in all the wrong places. MP's and the top of the tree are meant to set the example. Bolt believes in the reverse principle that the rules are just for the sheep.

Andrew Bolt's Blog 27/3/16; Hypocrisy on Easter Sunday; Like all cowards Bolt has a big voice from behins his curtain; Bike riding and budgie smuggling bullies are fit for pushing their way to the front; Bolt sliming Turnbull on Easter Sunday and showing Australia's Western values;

 

The Age spends Easter praying at the altar of anti-Catholicism

Here is the proud agnostic who in the blog  below puffs with Christian and Western pride calling Belgians who are mainly Catholics cowards and humiliating them from half a world away  and on Easter Sunday. It makes Bolt defending the Catholic Church look an idiot. Yes by all means defend the organization but scorn it's followers.

"A Bayside church linked to historical clerical abuse and destroyed by an arsonist last year will be rebuilt at an estimated cost of $20 million – almost double the total compensation paid by the Archdiocese of Melbourne to 326 victims of paedophile priests. The decision to restore St James Church in Gardenvale to its former glory has incensed victims"

How dare a newspaper the Age report  facts of Melbourne life rather than defend our institutions. Bolt can attack our Police and the Law for being slack about teenagers he dislikes and free-speech but print that a Church is making an insurance claim after having been damaged by arson and your trying to bring down Christianity. Mention compensation of victims and you need to be closed down. Report the fact that you as victim can't get access to secret archives of crimes perpetrated you should be nailed to a cross. That's just how much Bolt cares for kids molested when in Church care. He obviously didn't  absorbed the lessons learnt as a child.  

Bolt is a beacon of ignorance he can't or is incapable of distinguishing between Christianity and Islam two religions, The Catholic Church an organization and politics.1) The Church an Institution was found grossly lacking in upholding Christian values and beliefs. 2) Islam is a religion it has no institutional structures equivalent to the Catholic Church. 3) Governments and politics have usurped and grossly misrepresented Islam to get their way just as the Catholic Church has misrepresented Christianity. 4) Andrew Bolt has misrepresented the lot Christianity, Islam, The Catholic Church and worst of all Australian values.

"I think there is little doubt The Age culture despises Christianity and wants the Catholic church destroyed. Yet Islam, the true threat to the kind of personal freedoms The Age claims to support and which Christian societies best guard, is given a pass." Bolt

 

 

March against fear cancelled for fear

Has anybody ever seen Andrew Bolt standing side by side shoulder to shoulder in support of  his beliefs. Has anybody seen Bolt attend public events in support of his beliefs. The man's extreme privacy has nothing to do with shyness. However it has a lot to do with cowardice. He's never marched for Freedom of speech never seen at anti mosque rallies or attended rallies against asylum seekers. But like all cowards he's quick to condemn others

"They said “je suis Charlie” when in fact they feared to fight for their free speech."

"Now they organised a “march against fear” when they actually feared to turn up:"

 

By snubbing Abbott, Turnbull makes him an issue

Poor Abbott is being snubbed after constantly trying to get  himself front and center of Liberal attention. Is Turnbull at 61 as  fit as Abbott? He doesn't ride a bike or pose in budgie smugglers, his finess must be in doubt. I guess the same can be said of Andrew Bolt who looks a little pasty and pudgy faced. Does he drink too much? "
MPs grumbling Malcolm Turnbull isn’t spending enough time helping marginal seat MPs with fundraising." The fact is MPs in marginal seats in the past didn't want Abbott in their electorates. When will we hear a call for a spill and see the destruction of the Liberal Party to satisfy one man's dented ego?

"The Prime Minister’s Office and Liberal Party director Tony Nutt have not been in touch with Mr Abbott to organise a formal role in the looming campaign."

Abbott organizing his own campaign is a sure sign of this non-team player a lone rogue  gate crashing other peoples space. He is Tony everywhere craving attention and behaving like a spoilt brat. However  News Corp will be there trying to polish the turd.

 

Islamic State terrorists made secret video of Belgian nuclear official

When Malcolm Turnbull said something of a similar nature about Belgium security did we hear Andrew bolt support him? Not on your life. In fact I believe he disparaged  Turnbull for being too weak and saying his response to the events in Brussels was too weak. Turnbull Should have been far more anti- Islam than just critical of Belgium's security.

Here we  have the model of  right wing media puffing up the Islamic State in preparation for and election. Using this for political advantage they will raise the level of fear to as high as possible. When military heads are playing up the diminishing  size and strength of IS telling us we are winning the war in Iraq.  Bolt will be doing his  best to tell us they are lying and alarm is in the red zone. He will like Kruthammer at Fox News be doing  the very opposite.  Bolt and Murdoch media  will be doing everything to insure the possibility of a terrorist event occurring in Australia. All this in the hope of bringing Abbott back as leader. Watch as Bolt tries re stir up the false panic he helped contrive to bring Abbott to the Prime Ministership in the first place and sending Australia reeling backwards in the eyes of the rest of the world.

You are funding a state media which promotes Islamism. UPDATE: Another Lyons’ claim denied

Proof of the pathetic standard of media we can expect if News Corp gained control of the ABC. Bolt deals in rumors, innuendo distortion and deflection to push ideology. In this case his side in order to do whatever it takes to discredit the ABC.

At his worst he never apologizes unless brought to bear by News Corp's legal advisers. When ever he does "I should have been more sceptical, given the byline.  Ebeid denies: " as you can expect. It's an apology in small print so the stench of his original complaint not only remains but  is repeated.

So why has Bolt chosen to offer minimum apology? He had vengence on his mind. Bolt wanted to get own back on another News Corp drone John Lyons. But Bolt who failed to verify anything he was talking about was left with egg on his face again because Lyons didn't write what Bolt was accusing him of.

" It seems it was more the headline (which Lyons didn’t write) than Lyon’s copy which really went too far."

This whole blog is in fact an apology however it doesn't read like one and the banner remains. It's News Corp operating like only News Corp does.

The benefits of Chavez socialism

Link Bolt 2010 Link Powerline the American Tea Party ezine 

The difference between Democratic Socialists and The Australian Liberal Party and it's supporters is their general acceptance that all Socialism and what it has or even had to offer is bad. Whereas Socialists prefer to verify the data and search for the truth. It's why you hear very little about Cuba or what occurred in Kerala India after the first Communist Party came to power. Bolt never talks about Uraguay but will tell you a terrorist became President. Socialists want to know Liberals just spin. Only 553 people own 50% of the total wealth of the USA.

It's why all the decisions Liberals make are behind closed doors and the for and against arguments are never presented in public. Paranoia seems to be governing ambiance and not the good of the Nation. It was so much healthier watching the ALP conference in action with all it's transparency. There's was no threatening doctors, nurses, teachers, and journalists there with jail.

Not the principle but the side - the Mia Freedman example

Yes it's the side and not the principle says the pot calling the kettle black. Markson misses she should go back and look at the countless blogs shared by Tim Blair and Andrew Bolt over the past year pleasuring themselves in demeaning women. There is however one truth. They are not funny. The thing that escapes us all is the right wing commentators are never funny when the content of what they have to say is examined. However gather them in any photo shoot and they are hilarious. Bolt's aggrieved white man's spear throwing was embarrassing not funny Charlie Pickering  you made it funny however and showed it for what it was...dumb.

 

 

 

Why Labor and its media mates are sliming a good judge

Link Bolt's answer is to be found in Quadrant heaven help us it's coupled with Gerard Henderson.

When A comes before B in time and space and are co-joined one might consider that there was a necessary connection between the two  then A caused B can reasonably be implied. Which when all is said and done  the good judge and the Liberal Party slimmed each other before any media or the Labour Party got hold of it. It might be argued that the ALP and the media caused it all to be revealed after the sliming had been well and truly done and the slime is little more than the track left behind by these two slugs. 

However more to the point is the judge and his advisers weren't astute enough to realize the dangers of what was occurring they claim innocence. However when judges are concerned ignorance is definitely no excuse. The Liberal party have made that perfectly clear when trying to slime Professor Triggs and Peter Slipper  Would Dyson Heydon have skewered his own conduct had a unionist done it?

If Fairfax were fair, it might admit there’s no real clash. It might also embrace a referendum

Link Canberra Times 

Do we now have to have a plebiscite on whether a plebiscite is to be held in conjunction with a referendum? When the Liberals get their heads together to make things appear less simple than they in fact are you can be sure it has nothing to do with the issue but everything to do with the politic. If it's as simple as it's made out to be why isn't it to be held now?

 

 

 

Labour falls for socialism all over again

Link News Corp's Greg Sheridan

Bolt uses the word Socialism as a constraint and Austerity forced on individuals as a form of Liberation. Individuals have no economic or social rights which haven't been earned is the myth in a society whose earned wealth in fact is rooted in inheritance. That's the only form of history Bolt espouses to. All other histories are a danger to the fundamental principles of Capitalism ant the wealth of the status quo.

I repeat: Abbott’s same-sex marriage “disaster” is actually a triumph. Two tips to seal that deal

Link None Unsourced All Bolt

Paul Kelly says it's what it is  "the idea of a national vote seems the best outcome for the Abbott government." It's not a a moral or cultural choice but political ploy. There is little interest in the idea of a peoples choice that's been already polled countless times and 72% agree with. So if a plebiscite is to be held why hold it after the next election? Because it can be used a for political advantage this term. The Liberal Party believe that forcing it to a representational vote at the next election will not only make it look closer than it is but the false slogan we are for the children, free religious belief and tradition rather than we all have rights to be treated the same can be twisted and it will be. Love has nothing to do with this.

You are funding a state media which promotes Islamism

Link News Corp's Paywall

Andrew Bolt the Aussie who supports Reclaim Australia, treats anything said by ISIS and anyone supporting ISIS as gospel, the man who refuses to accept the words of Australians unless they are die hard Liberals accuses SBS  of being an Islamist promoter.

Bolt even still can't have Zacky Mullah  on the same page as Tony Abbott though Zacky like Abbott wants ISIS targets in Syria bombed and destroyed. Yes they are the same but we simply don't like him because he's a Muslim can only be Bolt's reasoning. No Bolt says he went to jail over 11 years ago. That's Mullah's crime he doesn't wear a blue tie and has done time. Mullah in fact will show himself to be like Abbott and Bolt politically but that's what Bolt does not want because the the whole Q&A debacle will be seen for what it was a ploy for political advantage on the part of Abbott.

 

 

 

The Age chokes on its hatred of Abbott

Link SMH

Even the reporting of the fact of Dyson Heydon's  monumental blunder of accepting the post of main speaker at lawyers function that turned out to be a Liberal fund raiser questions the mans diligence and competence. All this is hailed by Bolt as indicative of the  hatred for Abbott. Is Bolt suggesting all these Liberals involved together with Heydon conspired to bring down Abbott? Even the left don't go that far. However Bolt would if it meant saving the boss.

 Tony Abbott should  have shut up and not defended Dyson Heydon. Abbott threw fuel on the fire by supporting him as he did Bishop. Are we going to have to wait 18 days for him to change his mind? Could you imagine the furor if Gillian Triggs was found to be guest speaker at a Labour fundraiser? What sort of incompetent Liberal organizers, advisers and commissioners has Tony Abbott PM appointed? Tim Wilson independent commissioner was appointed by Tony Abbott is only happy to speak at Liberal  fund raisers. The whole PMO is ditsy.

Flipping the argument is just a vacuous  debating tactic Bolt uses when he has no argument. Turning the accused into the aggrieved by ignoring the sequence of causal events. Heydon is accused because he put his hand up to speak. He negotiated with Liberal organizers and Abbott defended him. Heydon and Abbott are not the hard done by and The AGE is both reporting and commentating on a matter of fact.

"Conservative buyers of The Age should realise they are subsidising the most extreme and misleading propaganda."

What is misleading in the presentation of the facts as they occurred? Is Bolt suggesting that none of this happened and it's all confected? Heydon admitted it  did and the Liberal Party advertised it as they did with Tim Wilson. Bolt is not putting words in Heydon's mouth he's taking the out spin is spin. He's even misrepresenting what Peter Hartcher is saying.

Peter Hartcher has called it what it was an astonishing cock up. Bolt on the other hand is calling anything other than what it was and Abbott should have shut up. The whole thing is another fiasco.

" The astonishing misjudgment that led the royal commissioner into trade union corruption, Dyson Heydon, to agree to speak at a Liberal Party fundraiser was the most unexpected blow to a punchdrunk party."
