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.

Thought I would watch just to get an idea of what him and his guests had to say and to see if I was just plain baised without being fair. Alas, I couldn't stomach it to the end but it was enlightening none the less.
Apparantly the labour party are being negligent by not putting up policies. ... That they are not in government obviously means little.
Julie Bishop was very aggressive about the dastardly destructive budget disaster that labour had left the country in. Which Bolt naturally agreed with. Except. Joe Hockey himself claimed that there was no issue with the budget when he was in New Zealand. "No crisis at all in the Australian economy, nor is it in trouble" he said. Many many economists around the world have lauded the way the labour goverment steered Australia through the GFC. But that is apparantly irrelevant.
Her interview on the muslim issue was as predictable as I suspected it would be.
Andrew Bolt went on and on about free speech and how muslim leaders shouldn't be allowed to say the things they were saying that incited hatred and were just plain bad. This from a man who was convicted for contravening the Racial Discrimination Act.
I heard all I needed to hear. At least on other like minded shows they have people with opposing views so that discussions can be challenged.
And who listens to Michael Kruger these days?

Patrick Moore is not a founder or co-founder of Greenpeace.
Patrick Moore Did Not Found Greenpeace
Patrick Moore frequently portrays himself as a founder or co-founder of Greenpeace, and many news outlets have repeated this characterization. Although Mr. Moore played a significant role in Greenpeace Canada for several years, he did not found Greenpeace. Phil Cotes, Irving Stowe, and Jim Bohlen founded Greenpeace in 1970. Patrick Moore applied for a berth on the Phyllis Cormack in March, 1971 after the organization had already been in existence for a year. A copy of his application letter and Greenpeace's response are available here (PDF).

but, but don't you want to watch costa and costello on jihadists - both well know experts on the subject, since.......never
moore works as a lobbyist for industry.......
http://www.greenpeace.org/international/en/about/history/Patrick-Moore-background-information/
Patrick Moore, a paid spokesman for the nuclear industry, the logging industry, and genetic engineering industry, frequently cites a long-ago affiliation with Greenpeace to gain legitimacy in the media. Media outlets often either state or imply that Mr. Moore still represents Greenpeace, or fail to mention that he is a paid lobbyist and not an independent source. This page contains information about how to accurately describe Mr. Moore and to judge his credibility.
