The Bolt Report

Jump to new
The show that followed (Meet the Press) offer somewhat more substance with some interesting interviews. Warren Truss spoke well, but the interview with Tony Windsor was the highlight. Three points from his interview were,

1) A reference to life and death (health) with regard to the government losing it's slim majority.

2) Leans against the government means testing the private health insurance rebate on the basis that it might impact on the balance between public and private health in regional areas. Door not totally shut here, but has voted against it twice when intrduced by the Rudd government.

3) Considers a carbon tax to be the most effective means to manage carbon (dioxide) emissions. Rest of the world context important in his decision here.

So it may yet not happen.

Notice Oakshot used the word "prefer"; as quoted of course.

Without Gillard's minority Guvmint he would cease to exist as any force so she has them over her barrell so to speak.

If you think this Gov't led by Gillard is going to fall I think you are all dreaming. Yes it may be a w..k but unfortunately the alternative under the Pope's right hand lad would be a shemozzle.

IMHO
 

explod, "PLEASE EXPLAIN"!!!!!!!! why you believe the 'alternative' under the Pope's right hand lad would be a 'shemmozzle'. Are you refering to one of his Cardinals?
What a load od codswaddle.
Glllard will be very fortuante to still be the lodge at Xmas. Suggest she accept Tim's proposal and marry him at the lodge ASAP as she has no answer for Abbott. He has her well and truly bluffed.
 
Sounds like it should go on for a few yrs or until the next election????

Watched the Insiders I like to gain an insight (which I got) not a political rant (which I don't need).

So did I. It was a one-sided political rant. Which I don't need. However I got an insight into the left wing bias of the Fairfax press, and also into how Abbott has Gillard rattled.

The two leading Liberal party cheerleaders on ASF are trying to beat up Abbott's talent.

Gillard has Abbott "well and truly" covered, it is the Australian people that she should be concerned about "rattling".

Back to Bolt, it is his superior smirk that gets my ire. He doesn't actually have to say anything for me to just want to punch him in the head.
 

Macquack, it's a shame you can't face the facts old boy. For you to consider violance towards Bolt, he must really be getting under your skin with the truth. Suggest you take a cold shower, a Panadol and lay down.
Bolt is like a breath of fresh air after having listened to the ABC and most of the media for months with their biased attitude against the Coalation.
 

I think Bolt is an OK entertainer, couldn't listen or read his crap all day though - If you dig a bit deeper most of his ideas are, how should I put this..... half baked.
 

Never mind, Macquack. We have to put up with the droning voice much more than you have to put up with Bolt's smirk. And you don't have to tune in. The droning voice comes on whilst watching the news, although the remote gets a good work out these days as punches are not allowed...

At least Bolt is voicing the concerns of the growing number of Aussies who feel conned and ripped off by Gillard and Swan. And from Abbott's speech, it is clear he is also listening to voter sentiment.

Whatever he has, it must be working. He has you rattled. Why is it that whale lovers usually resort to violence?
 
I think he can sometimes be quite rude in his interviews and this can turn people off, but I have to admit - he regularly asks the tough questions when the MSM lap dogs just repeat whatever they are told. More tough questions pls and dig into the answers - way too much fluffy spin from politicians and AGW alarmists in general.
 

Half the time Abbot cannot even stammer his words out, and when he is stammering you just know he is twisting it. And having been brought up in the same ilk I can vouch for the childhood programming that gets in the way of objective thinking and decisions, and the Pope is the head of all that. However that is all of topic. Meet you on the Abbot for Prime Minister thread.
 
just reminds me how unlucky this country is never to have had costello as PM...

destroys Howard, Abbot, Rudd and Juliar
 
Agree. If Andrew Bolt achieves nothing more than this, his program will have done the country a service.
I haven't seen it yet. Not on in the regions, apparently.
 
Well I haven't seen it but from the sound of this thread I must tune in.
 
O.K season pass on tivo just programmed, hope it's as good as you say.
