Tonight on The Bolt Report and radio - rude protesters and Rio waste

On The Bolt Report on Sky News Live at 7pm tonight: 

Two questions about our Rio flop: Shouldn’t we get more medals for our $340 million? And are we actually too damn greedy for a small country? Gold medalist Russell Mark takes a shot.

Liberal MP Cory Bernardi has news on his push to change the Racial Discrimination Act that’s being used to crush free speech.

And Malcolm Turnbull has his big moment hijacked by protesters of the Left...

ABC bias exposed - and Turnbull fell for it

Former Premier Jeff Kennett cannot believe Malcolm Turnbull called a royal commission on the strength of such a biased ABC report:

VIEWERS of the ABC were recently shown an emotional, one-sided Four Corners program on juvenile detention in the Northern Territory. It was frightening, but deliberately misleading. It relied on old footage and I believe the program was an abuse of the ABC’s charter and an abuse of taxpayers’ money…

The old Don Dale Juvenile...

Explain this challenge, Prime Minister. And explain your surrender

Have Malcolm Turnbull and Scott Morrison damaged investment into Australia by surrendering to populism?

Glenda Korporaal:

Comments from the Chinese embassy in Canberra ... effectively throw down a challenge to the government to spell out its policy towards Chinese investment in Australia, or risk seeing a whole range of Chinese investors go elsewhere with their cash.

Made in response to several requests from The Australian over the past week to comment on...

MPs: Turnbull tricked us on free speech

I’m sure you’re surprised. But MPs claim Malcolm Turnbull tricked conservatives with a promise to change our laws against free speech.

Simon Benson:

Turnbull had committed to making changes to the controversial section 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act to persuade pro free-speech MPs in his quest for the leadership last year, it has been revealed.

The Daily Telegraph has confirmed that a number of MPs had been given assurances that Mr Turnbull as Prime...

Mark Kenny is the hate-speaking racialist he claims to denounce

So often it strikes me that the Left’s anti-racism is really an hysterical projection.

Take the Sydney Morning Herald’s Mark Kenny, for instance.

He would argue that his frantic defence of the oppressive Racial Discrimination Act, actually now used against people protesting against discrimination, is driven by a hatred of racists and hate-speech:

In their peerless assessment of the lived experience of all minorities, [opponents of the Act] have decreed...

Keep peddling or the polar bears will drown

Global warming tends to unleash the inner narcissist:

Cyclist Sue Abbott tells a magistrate she shouldn’t have to wear a bike helmet because she is saving the planet, Daily Telegraph, Tuesday:





My possible death or my catastrophic brain injury as well as the climate’s continued demise because we won’t face our responsibility towards climate change should far outweigh this infraction under NSW road rules.

Looks like you can’t park illegally to save the...

Book at the boat club

My book is on an odyssey, visiting the skulls of Montpellier, Shanghai, Croatia, Ho Chi Minh City, Santorini, London, Lake Como, Ithaca, Scotland, the Bay of Naples, Dubrovnik, Fiji, Aileron, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, the Andes, a christening in Newcastle, the Northern Territory, the Whitsundays, Kalgoorlie and Condabri, Queensland, before invading Australia’s most Left-wing Parliament - an experience which convinced one reader at the...

UPDATE

The editorial of my latest The Bolt Report - actually an introduction to my discussion on euthanasia with Andrew Denton:

And more evidence that the Four Corners show on juvenile justice in the Northern Territory - the one that panicked Malcolm Turnbull into calling a royal commission within 10 hours - was biased from the start, leaving out information the ABC actually documented in a letter to the then minister in charge of...

Tonight on The Bolt Report and radio - Andrew Denton, plus an embarrassing letter from the ABC

On The Bolt Report on Sky News Live at 7pm tonight: 

Andrew Denton is campaigning to legalise euthanasia. We will tonight discuss our differences.

Matt Cunningham has an extraordinary letter the ABC wrote that casts fresh doubt on its report into juvenile justice in the Northern Territory.

Define “critical”

Curious. Brian Toohey:

Ausgrid, the state-owned NSW electricity distributor, has denied Treasurer Scott Morrison’s claim it provides “critical” communication services to business and government. Morrison said these alleged services raised one of the key national security issues involved in his ban on selling Ausgrid to Chinese and Hong Kong bidders.

Ausgrid told The Australian Financial Review it doesn’t provide any communications services, critical or...
