Dont forget to watch The Bolt Report every Sunday  on Channel 10 at 10am and 4pm

Join Andrew Bolt, one of Australia's most read, most topical newspaper columnists, as he addresses today's political and social issues through opinion commentary, panel discussion and interviews.

This week

Abbott’s deficit tax. Sacrifice or suicide?

My guest: Amanda Vanstone, former Howard Government minister and member of the Commission of Audit.

The panel: Michael Kroger and Cassandra Wilkinson.

NewsWatch: Rowan Dean.

So much to discuss: destroying the handout mentality, the deficit tax and growing corruptions scandals. Plus:  the menace of Clive Palmer’s money and the arrest of a man who quoted Churchill in public.

And this: is Labor’s what-budget-crisis? strategy clever politics or a reckless betrayal of the national interest?

Your Say and more.

The videos appear here.

From icy's post "We’re only asking students to pay 50% of their course cost. They currently pay 40%,

Do you have any idea how much a Uni degrees costs. Most do a double degree.

Pyne's plans: cut course funding by an average 20 per cent and increase the interest charged on student loans.

So where did you get a 10% increase from icy?

They must've put a gag on hockey, all the others are now pushing the hard sell and threats

[cherry*135]

Sort of like blackmail isn't it? Unjustified threats until a demand is met.

Hockey must have had a zipper put on his lips after that howler about poor people and cars.

Horrible!

Oooops just realized what thread this is, I didn't watch blot today, I watched a doco about Freddie Mercury instead, brilliant guy that one:)

Cut research funding to places like this. Smart move, NOT.

"The University of Wollongong is an international centre of research excellence, ranked in the top one percent in the world for research quality in the 2013 Leiden Rankings.

A UOW key initiative is the Global Challenges Research Program, which brings together researchers from a variety of disciplines to work together on three of Australia’s biggest challenges: managing an ageing population, coping with industrial transformation and managing coastal environments.

A number of UOW’s internationally-recognised research centres are based at the Innovation Campus, working in fields ranging from innovative materials to sustainable building design, efficient energy storage, digital media, business leadership, public health initiatives and international maritime law.

So iC offers a unique opportunity for enterprising companies to co-locate with these leading researchers at a centre for Australian innovation."

I have never watched Bolt on TV. Only seen his blogs reposted here. Reading 2 lines of them is enough.

Ask Mr Pyne, Am, I was quoting him.
