[nero_bolt]

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.

Miranda shouldn't publicly be calling anyone a tosser either but she did that.  Then she gets all upset and whinges about the twitterati calling her out on it.  What makes her think anyone didn't complain about Geraldine Hickey?  It's not about her so she wouldn't know.

And she calls other people hypocrites.

So you think that justifies a feral, so-called "comedian" calling the PM, heck calling anyone, a can't on public television? Who thinks that kind of language, on the ABC, no less, is acceptable?

Where was the outrage in the media?

what shoud we do here...   close down parliament or just get rid of Pyne  ( it is pretty feral and he's not even a comedian)

what do you think Icy... was that OK by you?? in Parliament too and he definitely did say it

Joono, I saw Devine's tweet to the footballer too

Lets face it.  The Bolt Report wouldn't be the Bolt Report if they didn't throw in a little bit of ABC bashing.  Usually with one of Rupert Murdoch's employees.

As I recall there was a media frenzy about it and talk raged for weeks.  Google it and there's pages of it. And no, I don't think that kind of language is ok. Not on public television masquerading for comedy and certainly not from a politician.

I googled high and low this afternoon to find any kind of reference to it (Geraldine Hickey) in order to post a link but found nothing. Not on any news site, nor facebook or twitter.

I have a look at M devine's and Chris Kenny's pages about once a week, just to see who is their latest target . Kenny was relentlessly attacking that father bob from Gosford who has signs outside his church. But lately it's been the SBS sports reporter. .. The ABC usually gets a daily mention

I don't know how you can stand to watch Bolt's show Joono, but I think I'm understanding the meaning of this " faux outrage" that a couple of posters keep mentioning 😀

[debra9275]

I don't think that kind of language is ok anywhere. And don't forget tax payers are funding C Pyne... and he said it in Parliament. The comedian, I've never heard of and wouldn't know her if I fell over her... If there's no link , maybe it's not even true ( like a few of bolt's other stories that have ended up in court)

Andrew and Miranda...... a match made in Heaven.......
That kind of language is acceptable only in the lowest of the low circles.
Isn't Bolt on the ABC? I am confused......

[debra9275]

I think he's on 10 Az and maybe sky news as well

Definitely not on The ABC... But perhaps he wants to be?
