Australia is what it is or did the film die in a Multicultural Nation? (ODT)
The Australian Dream is a film that's ahead of its time in many ways, but, like Goodes, while its heart is in the right place, the nation did not rise to meet it.
The ticket sales prove the film's point.

Andrew Bolt the anti multiculturalist seems to think.

The ABC never gives the real answer to its question: "Why have local audiences abandoned Adam Goodes and The Australian Dream?" In fact, rather than admit the film failed because few Australians buy its much-touted premise that footy crowds are racists, the ABC claims the failure is just more proof: "The ticket sales prove the film's point." Andrew Bolt

 Andrew Bolt has spent an excessive amount of time repeating himself on the subject, years in fact why? Basically, Bolt has been proved to be a bully not the bully being bullied. He is a racist but not one who's a subject of reverse racism. Bolt's never been the victim of racism and nor is Cameron Smith. Bolt falsely accused and attacked Adam Goodes on racial grounds and for his actions but Bolt left out the full context of what occurred,what was said and done. What really occurred at the time was twisted and manipulated for the sole purpose of pretending he had a case against Goodes's Black Racism. The fact that Bolt has been obsessed with this for such a long time shows he seems guilty, unconvinced and still believes he hasn't convinved us that he  hasn't a case to answer while Adam Goodes does. But Adam is relaxed in his own skin and isn't as flustered as Bolt still is today. Watch Bolt try on the equivalence argument again this time with Cameron Smith and prove he's an idiot.
Bolt's effort to claim equivalence with Smith and Goodes booed falls short of what actually occurred and the difference between the two events.  They aren't the same. It's yet another attempt by Bolt to play the misunderstood victim. How often can he keep repeatedly do it and fail?
The film, Australian Dream, didn't fail! Australia is a multicultural country, so one wouldn't expect a high attendance to a low budget production like this to have a large turnout of differing cultures. Bolt, however, proves he's gloating, racist, idiot, and as thick as a plank who represents a bogan minority within Australia.   They are condensed to some extent in an AFL crowd and ready to lead the stadium in booing like a Mexican wave. Nobody suggested that "all "AFL football supporters were a part of that white supremacist body that Bolt encourages and enables. However, you will find them there and active. Find them leading the Australian racist chorus Bolt tries to excuse and fails.

 Australian audiences haven't abandoned Adam Goodes they just happen to be part of a multicultural audience diluted and less unattentive to the plight of indigenous Australians. They might be considered part of the casual racism Goodes said exists.  Simply part of the internalised casual racism that Australia has taken on board and normalised these past 200 years. Are Australians sympathetic to the racism indigenous Australians suffer evidenced on every social metric yes! Do they support Andrew Bolt who blames Indigenous cultures for their plight, no! 85% of Australians recommend recognition of Australia's First Nations want the racism in our Constitution gone. They, unlike Bolt, are for voice given to  Indigenous Australia from the bottom up and not just top-down.

"ticket sales prove the point of the film" it's true they do, but it's what you'd expect in a multicultural country. That response isn't what you'd expect from bigots like Bolt who seem to believe it's proved a point for them when it hasn't.

CAMERON SMITH BOOED LIKE ADAM GOODES WAS. AND IT'S NOT BECAUSE THEY'RE BLACK

COLUMN If booing Adam Goodes proved Australians are racists, what does this booing of Cameron Smith prove? That he’s actually Aboriginal, too? That’s the problem with the media playing the race card so often. It runs out of trumps.

Our country's political decline isn't being helped by the mainstream media.

Over the past few years, we've seen our Government go from bad to worse while news and mainstream media fuel the fire.

 When it comes to independent media, now more than ever in our history is the time to get behind and support their work as it is clear that the oligarchs running the MSM are only batting for their own interests and agendas. The rise of social media is a threat to these powers, so it's now time for all of us who see what is happening in our country and the world to support independent media that gives voice to the truths that the MSM suppresses and ignores.

What better time than now to make an enormous shift and let advertisers at MSM media outlets like News Corp Sky and 2GB and CH9 their products and services are unwanted as long as they align themselves with these persuaders and purveyors of FAKE NEWS and INFORMATION

The reef report is in and ocean scientists are fearful

If anything, we have been underestimating both the rates of climate change and their global impacts.

Leaders slowly come to grips with a different economy

The beginning of economic wisdom is to understand that the advanced economies – including ours – have stopped working the way they used to.

And Treasurer Josh Frydenberg gave a speech on Australia’s productivity challenge, which offered the Morrison government’s first acknowledgement that maybe not everything in Australia’s economic garden is rosy.

Our politicians have shown themselves too small for this task

The idea of Australia isn’t big enough - but it can be enlarged. The Uluru Statement from the Heart asks us to imagine: a bigger nation. A nation freed from the curse of terra nullius: that can finally place the First Peoples of this land at the heart of Australia’s founding document.
Our politicians have shown themselves too small for this task. The generosity of the Uluru Statement has been shrunk to the politically possible. It is a debating point. Now, we fill the ABC studios with empty words that take us nowhere.

PLAGIARISM: ULURU STATEMENT FROM A CONGOLESE HEART

The Uluru Statement is hailed as the key Aboriginal definition of their special "spiritual" sovereignty: "the ancestral tie between the land, or ‘mother nature’, and the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples who were born therefrom, remain attached thereto, and must one day return thither". But those words were taken from an African. 

Bolt doesn't seem to be able to get what's clearly been already recognised in history elsewhere. He turns to any trivial argument available to dissuade us from the simple fact that the British illegally invaded a land that was inhabited by a diverse group of indigenous peoples. That what British did here had broken their own laws. They intentionally denied others were here first for pure profit and gain.  On that basis, Australia is now the one and only settler nation that fails to have a treaty or recognition of that fact with the First Nations.
Further, that our current Consitution is a Racist document and for that alone changes need to be made. To give those First Peoples recognition and a voice solely for no other reason if only to bring us into alignment with the US, Canada, NZ or Israel. Bolt rarely or ever seems to refer to these facts that Australia stands out as unjustifiably different.

Any wriggle any distraction any squirm is his modus operandi to justify a "no" to recognition and a voice to the first peoples of this nation that were brushed aside in our inglorious past.

He's made efforts to change our commonly understood language by trying to alter the contextual meaning of "Indigenous". He claims he has more right to be called Indigenous than any Aboriginal younger than him. Even though he's a dual Dutch and Australian passport holder. He actually turned into a laughing stock on the ABC's "Recognition Yes or No" documentary when ex-Conservative NZ PM James Bolger brushed his idiocy aside.  Again he was scoffed at by an expert in Constitutional Law. Noticeably Bolt has dropped that idea that simply changing the style of language escapes the problem.

Here its "plagiarism" everything but the precedence of the past attributed and documented in other settler colonies ought to be adhered to. The idea should be brushed aside because of style which Bolt says overrides meaning. In other words, according to Bolt Indigenous Australians first or last can't translate what their "special" relationship to this land is in "English" that Bolt understands simple as that. No suggestion that he's wrong clearly. What a knit picker Bolt is. Unless the First Peoples wore suits had a written language, presumably English their Uluru Statement is meaningless. What can't be specifically translated into original English without using a template of some other nation they have no right to what has already been a precedent in British Law accorded others.

Bolt has been laughed at by wiser people than him, and he's still at it all style but no meaning.

Trump Hides From The Public In Dayton Appearance

But delivers and Tweets a Fake Photoshoot

He's in Dayton to "bring people together." At a protest, maybe.

Aside from brief appearances on the airport tarmac as he arrived and departed, Trump did not speak publicly or allow himself to be photographed. Reporters traveling with him were secluded as he took part in what aides described as a series of meetings at Miami Valley Hospital with first responders, hospital staff and survivors of a shooting early Sunday morning that left nine dead.

Cat got his tongue?

The visit to Dayton was a marked break with tradition, as presidents visiting grieving communities typically offer public condolences and use the opportunity to try to comfort the nation.

Trump obviously knows he's not welcome there but even so, when the president refuses to offer condolences to a grieving community that's just cowardice.

 

MASSACRES BLAMED ON TRUMP, BUT CHECK THE HYPOCRITES. SANDERS, WARREN....

Trump haters are insane. Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders blame Trump for two shooting massacres, even though the second was by a socialist who supported them both. And didn't a Sanders volunteer shoot a Republican? Meanwhile a Democrat campaign doxxes Trump donors just as Hollywood promotes a film of Trump "deplorables" being hunted and killed. 

Andrew Bolt plagiarises 1) A Trump Tweet and 2 ) OAAN a right-wing pro-Trump channel promoted by Trump himself.

You don't judge people by what they say but what they do. Bolt, however, doesn't. He has been known to suggest Hitler was left-wing because his Party appealed to workers by calling themselves Social Democrats. Trump says he's a pro -Labor Republican and yes Connor Betts claimed to be left-wing. Yet, all of them selected minority groups and inspired their supporters to aim their guns at. Hitler Jews and Gypsies, Trump Muslims and Hispanics and Betts Blacks. Trump had even suggested Antifa was the same as White Supremacists when it came to mass shooting. That there was an equivalence between left and right violence. Rubbish, 1n 2018 there were a total of 88 mass shootings the majority by White Supremacists. In 2019 there have been 251 a 277% increase and again in the main by White Supremacists. 

Watch what they do and not what they say provides a clearer understanding of Connor Betts, who is totally unlike Warren and Sanders. White Supremacy is a virus, not every American has caught Trump spreads that virus-like Hitler did in his 1930's rallies  White Supremacists are those that have contracted and spread it. Trump is a Racist to say otherwise is and an indication that Bolt, without doubt, is one too. He may not hold a gun, but he sure has encouraged others to.

Remember when Bolt said he admired the ISIS jihadis in Barcelona for their conviction and courage to fight? He called Cristian youth gutless and wished they shared that same conviction. If that's not challenging and inciting right-wing violence, what is? Bolt has the ratings and spread given him by News Corp, and he certainly can't say he didn't influence the young mindset of the NZ Christchurch shooter. Bolt spread the virus-like an ISIS recruiter and enabled extreme right-wingers to act justified by the spread of ideas like that.
Like Trump Bolt was known to say there were a lot of good people protesting in extreme right groups and he gave them media time on the Bolt Report promoted and cheered imports on leaving Australians to pay their bills. If that's not enabling recruiting and challenging people to act what is?

PROOF: NEW YORK TIMES DOESN'T DARE BE FAIR TO TRUMP

FAKE NEWS MEDIA The one time the NYT was fair to Trump, it caved to the haters: "Zealous liberals and Democrats... attacked The New York Times for running a headline that was actually fair-minded toward President Trump, noting that he was urging “national unity” over racism... The Times altered the headline to something more caustic."
The NYT didn't "cave in" it admitted its headline was "poorly worded" and corrected it. Trump walked back on his rally rants of "invasion" and "infestation" his Orsen Welles war of the worlds. He realised he'd overstepped the mark. So much so even Trump realised he caused such resentment in Daytona and El Paso. He wasn't seen in public. Trump even isolated himself from his own media and press teams in case they dared print the truth.
For god sake  Bolt is declaring the NYT was "caustic" that Trump is the victim of the media. Bolt certainly didn't even try to get a poll of local opinion, did he? Trump skulked in and out of the two cities because even he was aware he was not the unifying figure America needed.
