Stefan Eracleous on the campaign trail with former prime minister Tony Abbott in 2013.

Who said that the New Young Liberals aren’t the New Neo-Nazis? Tony A was a thug too, and it took him all the way and back again maybe. He's been a role model and a career path to follow

These clues led to an Australian mobile phone number and an approximate home address in outer suburban Melbourne. Further data mining fully lifted John Dixon’s black mask: he is a Victorian man and former Melbourne University Young Liberals office holder named Stefan Eracleous.

Spud pulling the wings off butterflies – “I think I will, I think I won’t…”. You’ve got to feel for der Gruppenfritter. Well, no you don’t – the bloke’s what an arsehole would be if arseholes had an arsehole, or in kinder parlance he’s a fully cooked unit, so rather let’s just have a chuckle at his dilemma – will he deploy an IED or will he hold off hoping Scooter goes full Campbell Newman. Spud can smell the blood in the water. Herr Shickletuber is no doubt delighted at Scooter’s travails; according to Bob Carr going so far as chucking a grenade down the hallway in the form of a public airing of a scathing text assessment of Scooter’s character as a “fraud” and “complete psycho”. The potato wedge (someone had to say it).

Third ally turns on Morrison

 Problem with Credlin is she like all Liberals live with myths of the past. The fact is the LNP has been the highest taxing Government not the lowest. The greatest to go back on its promises. Increased Government debt like no other and refuses to admit to the worst leadership we've ever experienced for three terms. Credlin is a reflection and amplification of the chaos in the L-NP

News Corp columnist David Penberthy says he thinks many Australians regard the Prime Minister as “expendable”. Sky News host Peta Credlin has lashed Prime Minister Scott Morrison, pleading with him to “do better” or abandon his chances at the next election. 

In an opinion piece for The Australian, Credlin said Mr Morrison needed to give voters “a reason to vote for you” and said the performance of the Liberal party was leaving people “politically homeless”. “The government that’s going into this election is almost unrecognisable from the one elected in 2013,” Credlin wrote. The former Liberal staffer said the actions of Mr Morrison had led to a lot of “disillusionment among many Liberal supporters”, especially on policy related to lowered taxes and more support for big businesses. “There’s no big political party that’s rock-solid for lower taxes, smaller government and greater freedom, plus support for the family, small business and the institutions that have made this country what it is,” she wrote.

So for several decades, the bureau has supplemented the official unemployment figures by also publishing the number of people underemployed – those part-timers who’d prefer working work more hours. The latest figures show an unemployment rate of 4.2 per cent, plus an underemployment rate of 6.6 per cent. Thus it is true the official unemployment rate of 4.2 per cent isn’t as good as it looks. It does understate the proportion of people who aren’t able to find as much work as they want.

 We’ve had great success in creating extra jobs in the past year – most of which have been full-time – mainly because the government has responded to the pandemic with massively increased government spending. But the economy may slow if, as all that “fiscal stimulus” runs out, the private sector doesn’t take up the running.

 The jobs market has also had a lot of help from an unprecedented (and temporary) source: for two years our borders have been closed to incoming workers. Skilled workers on temporary visas, and overseas students and backpackers doing unskilled and casual jobs.

The workforce has shrunk

Palestinian innocents killed by Israeli air strikes on Gaza

 unprecedented events in Jerusalem have further fuelled the conflict. Hamas, the Islamist movement ruling Gaza, rejected Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas' recent decision to postpone the Palestinian election — ostensibly because Israel sought to prevent Jerusalemites from participating in it. In response to recent Israeli incursions into the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound and the pressure placed on the Palestinians of Sheikh Jarrah, Hamas launched homemade rockets into Israel.  

The response from Israel’s sophisticated military power destroyed infrastructure and residential flats. Innocent civilians, including women and children, were killed. This action – a contravention of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights – has inspired condemnation from the international community.

Scott Morrison holding a lump of coal

The world’s powerhouse economies have turned their backs on coal, with economists warning Australia is setting itself up for misery if the federal government keeps investing in fossil fuels.

 In a communique, the world’s seven largest advanced economies – the United States, Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, plus the European Union – said international investments in “unabated coal must stop now”.

Almost 1000 refugees still in limbo as US deal approaches completion

The 2016 deal to move refugees from Australian detention centres to the US has filled three-quarters of its 1250-person cap.

LNP passed a law enabling the government to detain asylum seekers for their entire lives. That makes bombing Gaza seem an act of kindness

Did you know you’re counted as “employed” if you work 1 hour a week? When you first hear that, it can sound shocking. It can make you suspect the government’s manipulating the unemployment data to make the labour market appear in better health than it is. But let me explain why it’s not a problem. It’s a perfectly logical definition for “employed”. Then, after I’m done with that, let me show you some ways in which you can be led astray by the government. It regards the unemployment rate itself.

"LEADERS" VERSUS REAL LEADERSHIP

Julia Gillard was our first female PM , and she achieved a lot in her short time as PM. Despite the monstrously Misogynistic attacks on her daily by the despised and disposed of mad monk. An atrocious chapter in Australian politics. Julia is up there with Hawke, Keating, Chifley and other Labor heroes for actually getting progressive policies implemented and getting important things done. Scotty from the LNP marketing department plainly isn't up to the job.

Behrouz Boochani must feel a huge sense of relief at being accepted into New Zealand by the Lady who many here would like as our PM, Jacinda Adern . After years of suffering at the hands of the psychopath Dutton and his predecessors, Behrouz can now pursue his writing career and continue to be a voice for detained refugees here in Australia.

DANIEL ANDREWS BLAMES US AS SIX MORE DIE IN NURSING HOMES

Another six Victorians have died today from the coronavirus - three in their 80s, three in their 90s. Yet Premier Daniel Andrews blames the public for not doing the "right thing" - as if a mum without a mask, pushing a pram in a park, is responsible for not guarding the doors of the nursing homes, more than 60 of which have had infections.

24/07/2020 

The king spruiker for privatising everything Andrew Bolt is bemoaning the fact that the aged care industry is privatised and runs on the smell of an oil rag. That oil rag being casualised and poorly trained staff.  He's here declaring it's not regulated enough and the privatisation and deregulation party the LNP could have done it better.

What the king of media clowns doesn't tell you is that the 770 aged care homes in the State 570 are privately run and only 200 State managed. Of the 66 deaths, he keeps bemoaning only 10% were in State-managed facilities. So is Andrew Bolt calling for the State to take over and Socialise the private system? Given his past Mussolini commentaries that would be a definite no!

 Note he readily blames Dan Andrews but not the system of management which he's always declared "over-regulated" and battling left-wing organisations like the AMA and the Nursing unions who have always complained that conditions in aged-care to be appalling. Now Bolt agrees with them but is he shooting bullets in a 180-degree turn of direction and jumped the gutter? Fuck no he's not yelling that the VIC LNP would do a better job that would be "Sunday too far away". 

But then his job for Murdoch at News Corp and Sky News isn't News or analysis but the promise of profit through political quid pro quo advertising subs and PR. Bolt is a loser on that level as Foxtel has lost 350k subs in the first quarter of 2020 despite the company having been given $40mill in "freebies" in the past 12mths while their competition the ABC which Bolt "the forever whinger" without wouldn't have a job. Who again have had their budget cut by the LNP which isn't a cut but been called only an " efficiency extension". (ODT)

MUST PELL REALLY STAY IN JAIL WHEN A MISTAKE HAS BEEN MADE?

A question I've been asking lawyers. Say you're a judge of Victoria's Court of Appeal and have just been shown that a crime could not possibly have been committed in the way you ruled it could have. What do you do? Surely the answer I've been given - do nothing - cannot stand. Must George Pell really stay in jail? 
According to Andrew Bolt judge and jury, convicted pedophiles and child molesters ought to be allowed out in the Community while an appeal is pending.





CHINA MOVES TO CAPTURE ISLAND

Oops! Tony Abbott the Pillock of the Pacific cut Foreign Aid. Turned Aid into a quid pro quo business first Dept  rather than leaving real aid the priority. He removed Radio Australia from the region with cuts to the ABC turned his back and went to Europe. Abbott  was more intent spending on Monuments in Europe Knights and Dames and sending troops to the Ukraine in the hope of becoming a honorary member of NATO. China didn't need to "capture" anything and the Pacific Region leaders certainly don't need to be mocked insulted and spat at by the likes of Andrew Bolt.
