Great article but no one will read it. So long as the dominant Murdoch media continue to repeat the rubbish and lies that Abbott sprouts, people wil believe them to be true.

The apparent spike in the death rate from the home insulation scheme is a good example of this.

It doesn't matter that the rate of tradie deaths was higher the 2 years before the scheme was introduced. It doesn't seem to have been reported that the scheme regulated the industry for the first time (hence the drop in deaths). It doesn't get reported that the scheme banned the use of foil which is what caused almost every death during the schemes time. Etc.

Rudd is on the bolt show right now. I think they're outside waiting for an autograph... Or their pay cheque.

Rudd did ok on that show. It's the first time I've seen bolt, he has a glazed look in his eyes. Now I've had to turn it off because that dreadful Amanda person is on.

Sadly I missed Rudd.

But i caught the end with Vanstone. Pointless and shallow dicussion.

This is the first time I have watched this show but Bolt REALLY is an idiot isn't he? He comes across as a seriously unintelligent.

He is one of those interviewers who has a page of questions to ask, and has no idea how to follow up on the answers given.  Probably doesn't listen to the answers, and just goes on to the next question.  Absolutely useless.

I got that impression too.. he's not an intelligent interviewer. There's something creepy about those glazed eyes.

Then it got REALLY creepy when that vacuous creature Amanda took the stage.

I had to laugh at her Abbott is the mature one comment.  Yep, making a spint for the door of parliament to shun another member is real mature.

The videos in the OP are appalling. I've seen them before, but they're still appalling. Yes, we need a man like him leading the country. Ugh.
