The ABC’s war against free speech

ABC hosts are increasingly against free speech - by which they mean only the free speech of other people, and not their own.

ABC religion and ethics editor Scott Stephens:

There’s something quite disturbing about our response to the events we’ve witnessed in places like Orlando or Nice. I’m hearing things being said that not that long ago would’ve been unthinkable …

It seems to me that we are going through a period in the west of a moral regression, and...

Shorten nobbles Albo

Troy Bramston says Bill Shorten’s reshuffle shows Labor is fractured but Bill Shorten is stronger:

This was dramatically exposed by Anthony Albanese’s calculated and concerted push to dump his long-time factional enemy, Kim Carr, from [the] frontbench. But Albanese spectacularly failed.

Albanese corralled most of the national Left to deny Carr one of the faction’s 14 allocated spots… Albanese has not forgiven Carr for failing to support his leadership...

McCrann: Morrison must fix his super disaster or quit

Terry McCrann:

Superannuation is now the fundamental defining issue of Scott Morrison’s treasurership. Either he fixes the mess he unveiled on budget night or he announces his total unfitness to be treasurer…

Very simply but very significantly, what is proposed is just very bad policy. It was always going to be the outcome of a process corrupted from gestation, as it aimed solely at generating revenue and devil take any consideration of good policy…

So why did the Munich killer cry “Allahu akbar”?

Malcolm Turnbull prefers to paint these recent mass murderers as merely mad, not driven by Islam:

Malcolm Turnbull wrote to [ counter-terrorism coordinator Greg Moriarty ] noting “the extremist narrative and ISIL’s slick propaganda are clearly luring some Australians to support terrorism, but we need to ensure that we are actively looking at all the areas of potential vulnerability”.

The coordinator was specifically tasked with checking “the full range...

Farrelly’s disgusting defamation

Elizabeth Farrelly defames me with this grotesque and dangerously inflammatory claim, suggesting I actually would love to see innocent Muslims hurt by vigilantes:

Andrew Bolt’s prediction of a right-wing anti-Islam “backlash” in which “innocent Muslims will be hurt” was chillingly reminiscent of Enoch Powell’s 1963 “rivers of blood” speech, and verged similarly on glee.

What a disgusting invention from a writer who invents so much.

This is grotesquely...

Gunmen attack Munich shopping centre

Reports of three gunman killing six people at a Munich shopping centre. Few details yet. No word on motivation.

UPDATE

Munich police said they suspected it was a terrorist attack.

Authorities were evacuating people from the Olympia mall but many others were hiding inside. Munich’s main railway station was also being evacuated.

A Munich police spokeswoman said multiple people were killed or wounded. No suspects had been arrested yet, she said.
