So by comparing Bolt to our "lying prime minister" your saying he is not all that credible at all. She's an out and out liar so he must only be a secretive one (which he fails at most of the time) ;)

Bolt relies on the politically ignorant to not question his lack of reason and facts.

He's a Murdoch arse-licker.

And a Gina Reinhardt arse-licker.

That is, he works for rich people to do their bidding in persuading his readers to think the way those rich people want them to think.

Honourable exceptions being those who post on here, of course ;)

So if he is an opinionist I would think that makes his use of "facts" quite tenious.

i would like to think he does his homework before he has his say and from what i have seen and read i believe he does. Its a pity our Prime Minister wont answer the people of Australias questions which she hasnt and that is certainly fact.

Trust me he doesn't. Anyone who says ...

That's obvious to the average year 8 student it does I would have thought.

Global cooling, stolen generations never happened etc.

To the batshit insane/right-wing extremists yes, in that context I could see how Bolt could be described as "having done his homework" :lol:

ok if i could really be bothered i could also gather information that says he was correct. Same as global warming why dont we have a debate with scientists who think it is happening and those that think it is not?? it could go on for ever i just dont think there is enough evidence to suggest that we need to send our businesses broke our households broke our jobs lost thats for sure. Like JULIAR suggests all these other countries are heading down the carbon tax path it is rubbish have a look at the united nations with countries like Russia,India and the like saying they will be doing nothing as they are now thinking this whole carbon tax global warming is a load of rubbish. Like the believers said there will be a drought and the dams will be empty and the fires will rage!! :lol: next thing what do you know the country is rejuvinated with lovely rain the lakes are flowing no bush fires!!!!

st, do you really think that climate change only affects Australia. Are you so short-sighted that you think climate change isn't real if it rains??

What are your comments on the currentt drought and famine starving thousands of men, women and children to death in North Africa right now?

Just one correction: You could not gather information that says Bolt is correct. If you think you can, then do it. If you cant be bothered, then you lose the debate to Gozu, who provided information.

You say the Carbon Tax will send our businesses broke and our households broke. What evidence do you have for that, when 85% of economists think the opposite. Is your evidence purely what you're told by Tony Abbott and Andrew Bolt?

Oh, I forgot to add Bob Francis to that list.

st, you'll notice that the usual intelligent contributors who support the coalition have been absent from here very recently.

I know why and I'd just like to assure them that I understand ;)

i think what you will find Bolt said about the stolen generation is with all the awards they seem to hand out now days to the aboriginals is that a lot of these people who are getting them are bloody WHITE. No i understand Australia is part of the whole world but what i would like to know is do you really think that what she is doing is going to help the world when countries like China,Brazil and Indonesia dont care about this furphy of a tax and are only going to increase there output?? So the famine,starvation and drought has only just started in Africa has it?? I suppose we wouldnt blame Mugabe for what hes doing either would we it would have to be the climate correct? Professor Richard Lindzen has said since 1995 there had been no global warming that could be distinguished from natural variability.This coming from a man who is arguably the worlds finest climate scientist who was dubbed credible even by professional alarmist Tim Flannery.

Mugabe??? :?

So you have no evidence at all that the PM said anything of the sort about Russia?

Another lie?

Also mate, you're happy to take the word of one scientist, but totally ignore the views of 90% of the world's climate scientists?

Bit selective.

st, I'm shocked :shock:

I'm totally surprised!!!!!

I thought I'd better Google your Professor and guess what????

It came up with an interview with an Australian 'opinion presenter' who only ever interviews climate change scientists who agree with him.

You'll never, ever guess who that Australian is?

Andrew bloody Bolt :shock:

one (1) interview?? even the peanut Tim Flannery says he is credible. Maybe you better google a bit further. Why does JULIAR refuse to be interviewed by certain journos who will ask her the hard questions???? :roll: :? :?
