Turnbull’s Cabinet cannot even say a simple no. UPDATE: Turnbull rejects Rudd

The very first post-election Cabinet meeting proves it cannot make even a decision that involves a trivial issue to which a “no” is the obvious answer:

MALCOLM Turnbull has been forced to make a “captain’s call” on whether disruptive former prime minister Kevin Rudd is let loose on the world to run for ­Secretary-General of the UN after a heated Cabinet meeting yesterday failed to reach a decision to support him.

God knows how Turnbull’s Cabinet will go...

Keysar Trad? Head of our top Muslim body?

Excuse me? Keysar Trad now heads the top Islamic body in the country?

The president of Australia’s peak Muslim body has stepped down and been ­replaced by community spokesman Keysar Trad...

Hafez Kassem sent the Australian Federation of Islamic Councils executive committee notice of his resignation on Tuesday night, suggesting Mr Trad as his successor. Mr Trad, a former treasurer of the organisation, was unanimously elected its president yesterday....

Thanks very much

Thank you very much to everyone who has bought my book. It is always scary releasing something into the market. Fear of rejection is high.

But we will be ordering a reprint next week to top up the initial 15,000 print run. I must send a copy to the publisher who declined to take on the book and told me she doubted it would sell (although, in fairness, I suspect this was said to excuse her fear of her colleagues and peers).

To buy your own copy of one of...

Chief Commissioner hails Pell’s “victims”. UPDATE: This witch hunt is an abuse of state power

How can Cardinal George Pell expect fairness from Victoria Police when police statements smearing him somehow get leaked to the ABC?

And how can Pell expect fairness from Victoria Police when Chief Commissioner Graham Ashton speaks of Pell’s accusers like this:

My response to that is that we haven’t provided the ABC with materials. Anyone who saw that show last night on the ABC, which I did look at, it’s clear it’s - the source of that information is...

Why are our taxes going to Hillary Clinton’s foundation?

Why have Australian Governments - and especially a Liberal one - been donating to a highly questionable foundation run by the family of Hillary Clinton?

Note once more the role of the Loyal Deputy, Foreign Minister Julie Bishop, now also busy trying to get Labor’s Kevin Rudd appointed head of the United Nations.

From the Daily Caller:

Clinton Foundation listings include contributions from the Commonwealth of Australia and the Australian Agency for...

The ABC has misled the public about this ‘torture’. UPDATE: And misrepresented Voller’s record

The ABC’s presentation of this incident is looking more suspicious by the day.

Here is how Four Corners presenter Sarah Ferguson described the above scene - of Dylan Voller being strapped to a restraint chair:

The image you have just seen isn’t from Guantanamo bay.... or Abu Ghraib.. but Australia in 2015… A boy, hooded, shackled, strapped to a chair and left alone. It is barbaric.

This is juvenile justice in the Northern Territory, a system that...

Who let them in?

Yet again the same question - why are our refugee and programs putting Australians in danger?:

ONE OF three teenage boys charged with the sexual assault of a 15-year-old girl in western Sydney is believed to be a former child soldier from west Africa, court documents reveal.

The 17-year-old Liberian-born boy, who cannot be named, was refused bail when he faced Parramatta Children’s Court yesterday, just over two months after the girl was allegedly...

UPDATE

My editorial from the latest The Bolt Report - the ABC’s smearing of George Pell:

Malcolm Turnbull’s choice. I think I know which way this is going

Malcolm Turnbull makes an appointment:

The role of racism, and the adequacy of the Northern Territory government’s response to reports into its juvenile justice system, will be examined by a royal commission formally established on Thursday.

The inquiry, to be led by former NT Supreme Court chief justice Brian Ross Martin, will principally examine the failings of the Northern Territory’s child protection and youth detention systems since 2006.
