Dr Leong said 80 per cent was “not good enough because it can still burden the hospital system very significantly and there will be too many excess deaths”. “The numbers are mind-boggling, given what’s possible over the next few weeks,” he said. Prime Minister Scott Morrison set a vaccination target as part of his four-step opening plan for Australia, with phase C triggered when double vaccination reached 80 per cent.

News Corp’s dirty laundry has been aired in a day of extraordinary Senate hearings, with former employees accusing the media giant of spiking public interest journalism, a toxic workplace culture, and sexist reporting. More than 74-years of combined experience at News Corp was on display in emotional testimony before the Senate inquiry into media diversity on Friday, as former staff exposed how the Murdoch empire’s dominance warps public perception and perpetuates stereotypes.

Proving Kevin Rudd and Media Watch to be very much on target.  That Andrew Bolt famously reported two "fake facts" as real this week is probably wrong as he reported much more. However, about the letter and dossier he never read accusing Christian Porter of rape Bolt made out he'd done his "homework". He certainly had and both were contrived and false. The fact that on the night of the alleged rape young Porter and the girl went to Sydney's Rock Club Bolt said the Hard Rock Cafe hadn't been built in 1988. Bolt was right but it was the Oz Rock Club that was being referred to. Bolt also correctly pointed out that there were no baths at the student residences of the University college in his Perry Mason like address. What Bolt missed was the dead woman said she was so drunk she couldn't recall but she was put in either a bath or shower. Something Andrew Bolt conveniently omitted and not just missed. It wasn't long before Michael Kroger was spreading Bolt's false facts and "warping public perception". Neither Bolt or Kroger have offered any retraction. Is it any wonder they want the ABC gone?

Media Watch may have caught Bolt out. Bolt certainly didn't offer a retraction but the damage was done. Bullshit is Bolt's stock in trade. He's been sued and convicted in our courts for exactly that and been called lazy by the judge and a liar by people very close to him. Polite words I must say because they are always too late. The bull has wrecked the china shop left an unholy mess and Bolted. News Corp's insurance has paid.  One thing can be said about Goebbels he had a Phd.

JobSeeker Hypocrisy: ‘rule of law’ for Porter but not for those below poverty line

“Currently, wages growth is running at just 1.4 per cent, the lowest rate on record.

This step-down means that we are a long way from a world in which wages growth is running at 3 per cent plus.”

  Australia insists WHO inquiry into Covid origin must be robust, despite China tensions

  In light of the fact that there is a UK virus mutation and SAfrican mutation shouldn't Morrison be clamoring for the investigation into their origins with the strength of voice he is demanding us to investigate China? Corona viruses existed well before this one and the new ones are even more contagious. So why is the China mutation more important that these others?
  

  The Spanish flu was in fact the Kansas flu the American flu first discovered in the US and taken to Europe. The question of it's origins was never as important as it is today. The question seems driven more by politics than science by Australia. 

  The name of the Spanish flu has never been corrected why is that? Shouldn't it be corrected and called the American Flu? The importance of the Spanish flu back then that it was a pandemic and secondary was it's name. In this case however Morrison seems to insist that it's origin is more important than the the virus itself. Is this why Trump gave him his medal?

PAUL EVERINGHAM: FRECKLINGTON 'NOT UP TO THE JOB', LNP POLICIES A DUD

I said Queensland LNP leader Deb Freckling lacked gravitas. Now Paul Everingham cuts loose after the Queensland defeat: "We lost because our leader was not up to the job. You have leaders like John Howard or even more so Ronald Reagan who can draw votes across the spectrum whereas the LNP leader can not hold even the LNP vote." Read on.

Is Bolt hiding behind Evringham's whinge that women can't cut it in the Liberal Party? Hardly a reason to attract subs is it?

HANSON'S ONE NATION CRASHES IN QUEENSLAND

One Nation lost half its vote in Saturday's Queensland election. In 2017, it got 13.73 per cent of the vote. This time it got just 6.95 per cent. Too many scandals and media attacks, and no one by Pauline Hanson herself to pull in the votes. But Hanson isn't the cut-through she once was.  

 No despite the fact that Bolt gave her so much air time she lost. Or is it that Bolt lost and hasn't ever had the cut through he once had when he had Tony A  backing him. Had Hanson faced the ABC she certainly would have had a bigger audience and gained some respect from voters. Far more than she could possibly have garnered from Andrew Bolt.

FRANCE FIGHTS ISLAM FOR ITS FREEDOM

COLUMN The Nice basilica’s floor was still wet with the blood of the Christians when the media Left surrendered. Once again, they pretended not to see Islam is at war with France and its Western culture. If anything, they declared, France attacked Islam. Take SBS and the ABC.

No you take the ABC and SBS Andrew Bolt. You remind us of just why the NZ massacre occurred in the first place. It was because of your prattling on about how Islam was threatening the West when the majority of Muslims were yelling "Islamists aren't us". "We don't stand with radical Islam". Bolt always focussed on the fact that radicals were Islam's base rather than it's wacko exceptional and unfortunate fringe.

When Bolt and Trump champion the radicalized Christian militias, the Proud Boys, the PLF and nut cases backing Trump in America and Nationalism here as the true gladiatorial defenders of Western Culture is it any wonder they lend and support push back from Islamists? If Bolt continues his crusade we will see another Christchurch occurring. He's a media recruiter for war and violence on bothe sides.

If he's truly concerned about violence he should focus on the IDF the Israeli Defence Force and their killing of children and when done lying through their back teeth about it. He just might have an argument then.

An emotional Scott Morrison has put forward a compromise solution for Queensland’s border closure, saying a requirement for those wishing to enter the state to isolate for 7 years on a remote island would be a more Australian, humane response.
“This is the sort of compassion Australians expect,” Mr Morrison, close to tears, told radio listeners.
“The idea that families have been separated without first being placed in a cramped detention centre for the best part of a decade is hard to fathom. It’s not the Australian way”.
He said we risked losing our unique way of dealing with people from other places. “When someone comes to our border we don’t just say ‘no’. We lock them up. That’s how we do things in Australia. Full credit to Queensland and Western Australia and South Australia for finding new and peculiar ways to create fear of outsiders. But I think we can go much, much further”.

TRUMP BROKERS ISRAEL PEACE. REMEMBER WHEN CCN SAID HE COULDN'T?

Donald Trump has brokered two peace deals between Israel and Arab nations - the UAE and Bahrain. Remember when the media howled that he'd made peace less likely by moving the US embassy to Jerusalem? Remember CNN? Remember John Brennan?

27m ago 

 

Trump brokered absolutely nothing. What he did do was help Netanyahu's failing Prime Ministership by moving the US embassy to Jeruselem and legitimising  the annexation of Palestinian lands in the West Bank and Golan Heights. A favour to his biggest American Jewish $100 mill + donor Sheldon Adelson. An area in the Golan Trump Heights was even named after his embassy promise. 

 So it's time. Time for a little Quid pro Quo. Netanyahu is simply turning the light on what has been happening for over 11 years. Israel's not so secret relationship with the Sunni run States of the Middle East. A theatre production always on the cards to help Trump and have a chorus yelling NOBLE Prize  to match his Bay of Pigs one that doesn't exist. SNL Seth Rogen stoned couldn't have written a more hilarious one,

Israel has been fully involved in the war in Syria acting as a de facto air-force a hospital and a logistics base  supporting  rebels and terrorists in Syria. They have been providing and sharing intel with the Saudis against the  Houthi in the Yemen and Iran and guranteeing the safety of the Sunni despots in the UAE Bhrain and Kuwait for years.

There is nothing new to see here. Trump has brokered absolutely nothing peaceful. In fact he's supplies and sent more drones over the Yemen than have ever been used before. He took a step too far when he illegally assassinate Solumeini which has resulted in no longer "assissting" but now "occupying" Iraq who now demands  the Americans get out and Trump chest pounding reply "make me". 

With the world watching he is about to symbolically move 2000 troops out for his image but not "get out" of the country.  He'd shamed the American military by double crossing the Kurds who fought shoulder to shoulder with them against ISIS. Who he won't stop moving back to Iraq declaring them gone when they haven't..

There has been no peace deal brokered merely a great deal of spin created by two grifters Netanyahu and Trump scratching each others backs. One revealing what's been going on for years while the other Trump is being told to fuck off out of Iraq and Murdoch promoting Trump as an American Caesar.

 Unrelenting attacks: News Corp alleges the ABC is 'too left-wing'

 1)Death to critical thinking. 2) It's too progressive for the IPA 3) Providing all sides of an argument leads to people at the bottom have second thoughts about sharing fairness, justice and the common good 4) It questions merit property and inheritance. This article is too polite (ODT)

The top four search results for the term "ABC left-wing" on Google produce articles from News Corp media institutions.

The first three come from Sky News commentary and the fourth result is an article by The Australian.
 The emotion-laden headlines read:

• The ABC is a left-wing blob of boring, woke views;
• ABC becoming too right-wing' following 'occasional conservative guest;
• The ABC no longer even pretends to be balanced; and
• Forces from within are destroying the ABC.

 The notion that "the ABC is too left-wing" seems to be gaining momentum. It appears that News Corp has played a significant role in furthering this narrative.

So, if there is no evident reason to say the ABC is "too left-wing", why does News Corp persist with the label?
Here are four possible answers:

• A commercial ploy to draw viewers away from the ABC. Sky News’ target demographic is 'over 55s'. This group is also the ABC's traditional demographic. They are direct competitors;
• Attacking the ABC shifts the credibility "goalposts". News Corp's journalism starts to appear more "enticing" when the ABC's character is dragged through the mud. The majority of Australians view the ABC as the most trusted news source. It's in News Corp's interest for this to change;  
• News Corp is a multibillion-dollar company looking out for its profit margin. It makes economic sense for them to be wary of any news outlet that provides a stage for any political party aiming to dent their bottom line. Affording the Labor party significant airtime (remember Shorten’s line "tax the top end of town") detracts from the positive light they shine on the Coalition, renowned for cutting corporate tax and diluting worker's rights; and
• Deepening the political divide. In reality, the labelling of persons, politicians or media platforms as "left or right-wing" does nothing but entrench a sense of tribalism. This further polarises the voting public, creating an environment where emotions are manipulated for political and commercial gain. 

In the end, Australian voters would be wise not to take the one-liner "the ABC is too left-wing" at face value, especially considering the potential motives behind such a statement.

“They’re going to die out anyway” - » The Australian Independent Media Network

You won't find this in The Australian or on Sky News you will find outright denial and the praising of the Hancock's today. When truth takes a back seat to profit and news (ODT)

Yes, I would argue that the total extermination of Australia’s Indigenous people was deliberately intended. If not by the bullet, then by the policies of those governments that saw them as a stain on white purity. God favoured the white man and they set out to do His work.
For those who missed the link to Hancock’s vile proposal …




'Nobody has experienced anything like this': Businesses feeling the pinch as we dive into recession

 Before and after this crisis LNP debt was x5 that of the ALPs under Wayne Swan. Not discussed in a Murdochian world.
 Former treasurer Peter Costello says Australian government debt could hit a trillion dollars because of the COVID-19 crisis — and it's money that would unlikely be paid back.

At the start of the crisis, the Federal Government had more than $570 billion of debt, more than five times what it got to after the global financial crisis.



 

We hear a lot from our politicians about grandchildren and how grandchildren will be lumped with horrendous debts unless the Budget is balanced. Never mind that the politicians cited above have presided over an astronomical rise in Australia’s debt. Balancing the Budget sounds eminently sensible to the shopkeeper from the Liberal Party base.
Yet the problem with the grandchildren assertion is that it is a half-sentence. If our grandchildren are to be paying off the debt, whom will they be paying? Will Josh Frydenberg’s grandchildren be paying Mathias Cormann’s grandchildren?
It is a question of enormous importance now as Australia is in deep recession and, come September, two million people will be coming off JobKeeper perhaps straight onto JobSeeker, underemployment is through the roof; and the Morrison government’s plan to fix all this seems to be appears to be cutting corporate taxes, wages and red tape and pursuing austerity rather than expansion.
Don't shrink the economy grow it or you will be fucked!!

 FAKE FACTS

 

PASCOE DEFENDER ADMITS HE 'REGULARLY EXAGGERATES'

The Monthly and The Saturday Paper are owned by the publisher of  Salt, by Bruce Pascoe. Last year the Saturday Paper made 20 errors in attacking my claims that Pascoe is not Aboriginal and his history is false. But The Monthly has since admitted Pascoe "regularly exaggerates and embellishes" and makes claims "not supported by the source material".

19m ago 

Andrew Bolt pointing fingers at someone who has allegedly been accused of what Andrew Bolt admits motivated the course of his career years ago. His dislike of work and verification of data stands out like Everest on the Nullarbor. Bolt left the effort and search for primary sources and their verification years ago to be an obituary writer. He is a self-claimed hater of the severe discipline and standards required of an investigative journalist.

 However, how does Andrew Bolt present himself today? Book covers tell us he's an Australian expert on climate change false. An expert on Islam, terrorism, immigration and a wide number of topics when we know he abhors the work required to be a specialist of anything. Yet here we have Bolt accusing Bruce Pascoe of being another Andrew Bolt. Whatsmore Bolt's using an unnamed unverified secondary source.

 Yesterday Bolt accused the ABC of interviewing Pascoe, whose openly declared his bloodlines are uncertain as if Pascoe was the only interview conducted by them which is absolute crap an exaggeration and not the case. Bolt needs to first have the credibility that he's done the work Pascoe has before believable mudslinging. Pascoe, on the other hand, is comfortable leaving Bolt slinging and dancing like Rumpelstiltskin and ignoring him.  
One fact Pascoe's work will be around a lot longer than Andrew Bolt's.

THE TRUTH OF OUR HISTORY? RACE WARRIORS CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH

The Mocker singles out the claims of some race hypocrites. There's the ABC's Julia Baird, demanding we  “accept the truth of history” and saying statue destroyers have "thrilled this historian’s heart." There's Professor Larissa Behrendt, demanding more "respect" for Aborigines. But do they mean this? Do their deeds match their words?  

22m ago 

A hell of a lot more than Lang Hancock's did in resolving the issues of modern-day indigenous Australia and Hancock's suggestions were and still are representative of Australia's shameful racist thinking today, Thinking for which Andrew Bolt claims he isn't to blame. Bolt keeps his heritage locked away tightly and never speaks of it. The attempted genocide of the Dutch Jews during WW2. It was the most successful program of any nation during WW2.  That's two histories Bolt loves to deny or not speak about. He's after all just a cabbage patch doll who popped up out of nowhere plucked to be a millionaire working for a billionaire to spin his stories which are largely the same as Hancock's. 

 There is an attitude that ignores and allows them to blow up heritage sites like the pyramids to simply get at the treasure below and then PR their way out of those crimes because we know nobody really cares about that minority or will be jailed for what can be deemed a simple mistake and erased wit a sorry as nobody was in the past in this country.

What was that truth Julia can't handle and the truth Bolt hides?

PRAISE THE DICTATOR'S GENERALS

Victoria's new Local Government Minister, Danny Pearson, has suggested memorialising Stalin's generals to honour "the great contribution the Red Army made in supporting Western liberal democracy by … destroying fascism”. That is before they went on to crush democracy and freedom across nearly half of Europe.

To date history, as taught has been how America and the West saved us from Fascism don't mention too loudly that Hitler lost the war as did Napoleon on the Russian front in the middle of winter. Don't mention the Dutch collaboration in Jew hunting was so eagre that they killed directly or indirectly 80% of their Jewish citizens far more percentage-wise than even the Germans did. Bolt doesn't want it known that Anne Frank was an exception and not the norm in Dutch Jewish history. Bolt's family origins are still today found in Aalsmeer the most notorious Jew-hating town in WW2.  Bolt is like the Dutch who hid that history for 40 years and want it to be kept silent while the world's Jews want their story told.  He doesn't, let alone that it be taught as modern European history in Dutch schools. The Germans teach their dark past as early as primary school. Why doe's Bolt insist only myth be taught like Hitler did?

ELIZA SCANLEN IS THE RACE-HUSTLERS' PRIZE

COLUMN Our race hustlers have caught another racist! It’s their biggest catch since footballer Adam Goodes called a 13-year-old girl the “face” of “Australian racism”.  And the best bit about catching actor Eliza Scanlen is that it will scare the rest of us into bending the knee.  

1h ago 

Andrew Bolt would have you jailed before he got on bended knee. He prefers to lie before ever saying sorry and he's been caught out and found guilty doing it time and time again in our courts. He's folded like a cheap suit simply by the threat of being taken to court. 

Bolt has made a public fool of himself with his personal attacks on Adam Goodes. Cherry-picking Goodes's words to throw back as racist barbs. Bolt never puts the story in context or applies any critical thought to what actually occurred and why a 12-year-old girl was aping and representative of white Australia on the day. Even after the girl apologised Bolt has been bellowing victim in her defence using her as his tool. Bolt continues to force on her what he wants not what she does today.

I may not know why Bolt is abusing and accusing Scanlen but given his history, it will, we know, be based a single event where any wild generalisation will provide Bolt with a fool's picnic. 

BRUCE PASCOE: ABC TWICE ASKS A WHITE TO EXPLAIN HIS ABORIGINAL PAIN

COLUMN On Saturday, the ABC twice interviewed a white man to explain his pain as an Aborigine.  Yes, the ABC marked the Black Lives Matter protests by getting a white — “historian” Bruce Pascoe — to play a black. And not once did an ABC journalist ask the obvious question of Pascoe, author of the best-selling Dark Emu.

2h ago 

The only reason Bolt feels he has the balls to say what he does here is because Bruce Pascoe has actually given him permission to by admitting his indigenous history is uncertain however his identity isn't. Had Bolt been repeating this to those others he was found guilty of vilifying Bolt would be entertaining himself at the governments' pleasure. However, he's not Derryn Hinch

BLM, by the way, isn't an exclusively a black racial movement and the ABC didn't "only" interview Bruce Pascoe as Bolt suggests here. Bolt would like us to believe he's fighting a just and righteous white cause like Hinch did child molesters but he's certainly no Derryn Hinch.

 He's more Pascoe's PR representative who has people rushing out to buy Bruce's books and listen to his interviews. He, on the other hand, Bruce does little to increase the psychologically disturbed Bolt's ratings.

‘The World Has Watched in Horror’: Ex-Australian Prime Minister Torches Trump’s Coronavirus Response

Former Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd published an incisive piece in Foreign Affairs on Wednesday dissecting the international consequences of COVID-19 and the effects it will have on the globe’s great power struggle between the United States and China.
He argued that, despite some expectations that China is weathering the crisis’s domestic risks well, the Communist Party will certainly be damaged by the fallout at home. But he saved most devastating and whithering critiques for the United States, the Trump administration, and Trump himself in particular. His remarks offer a useful glimpse into how the world perceives the American handling of the crisis.

Donald Trump is getting nervous. Internal polls show him losing in November unless the economy comes roaring back.
But much of the American economy remains closed because of the pandemic. The number of infections and deaths continue to climb. Almost 3,000 Americans died last Friday alone, the deadliest day since the pandemic began.
So what is Trump’s reelection strategy? Reopen the economy anyway.
