Andrew Bolt and Domestic Violence

Here is the full story:

Women are more likely to experience violence from men they know, often in the home, than from some monster lurking in the bushes

One in four Australian women have experienced physical or sexual violence by an intimate partner

On average, one woman a week is murdered by her current or former partner, according to the most recent analysis of homicide statistics in Australia

One in four Australian women have experienced emotional abuse by a current or former partner

Australia's Newest Threat

Immigration minister and Border Force Obergruppenführer, Peter Dutton, has warned that Australia is at risk of succumbing to compassion.

Citizens are being urged to remain vigilant against the spread of compassion in Australia which, if left unchecked, could see our society regress into an egalitarian dystopia, where greed and self-interest struggle to survive.

The Russian Witch Hunt Hoax

Here is an update on the Russian Witch Hunt Hoax:

In the 12 months that Robert Mueller has been conducting his witch hunt hoax, 20 witches and three witches’ businesses have either been indicted or admitted guilt and a total of 75 charges (none concerning witchcraft) have been laid.

Five witches are now cooperating with the witch hunt.

The Witch-in-Chief has begun insisting that he has the constitutional right to pardon himself from charges that might result from the Russian Witch Hunt Hoax.

Punishing the Banks

Here are some revelations from the Royal Commission into banking so far:

NAB employees in Western Sydney were paid bribes of up to $2800 to wave through loans they knew were based on fake documents.

Fake payslips, IDs and Medicare cards were allegedly made up to generate loans for the bank’s “Introducer Program”, which generated $24 billion worth of home loans and paid out between $100-$150 million in commissions between 2013 and 2016.

This week in welfare

A former member of the Administrative Appeals Tribunal said the government's robo-debt system often calculates debts that are inflated or non-existent.

A 17-year old girl with leukaemia was ordered to visit Centrelink in her wheelchair so staff could “sight her” despite her mother’s protests that she was immunosuppressed.

The girl and her mother have made several attempts in the last 18 months to obtain a Health Care card which would make her chemotherapy drugs more affordable.

A Contentious Debate

Between 1979 and 1996, 104 people were killed and at least 52 were wounded in 13 mass shootings in Australia. Since national gun control laws were introduced in 1996 there have been no mass shootings in Australia.

In 2018 there have been 34 mass shootings in the US, killing 51 people and injuring 106. In 2017 there were 346 mass shootings in the US.

When asked to comment on the debate on gun control in the US, Malcolm Turnbull responded:

“It’s not for me to get involved in a contentious domestic political debate here."

Here's a pledge for you Peter Dutton

“In my view, there is a place for the pledge in a broader rejuvenated civics effort with school-aged children, regardless of their background,”
- Mr Dutton 21/02/2018

Here's a pledge for you Peter Dutton, none of my children will be making any pledge to a government consisting of crooks, liars and shit stains like yourself.

While we're on the subject of pledges, here's one you made on becoming an MP, and also on becoming a minister:

"I, Peter Dutton, do swear that I will well and truly serve the people of Australia."

Happy New Year Malcolm Turnbull!

So the Government has kicked off 2018 with:

A racist Senator and accused war criminal who makes no apology for posting 'Britain First' memes, but demands a grovelling apology for being called a coward for doing so;

Peter Dutton undermining the legal system, spreading fear of non-existent African gangs in Melbourne and encouraging the rise of white supremacist vigilantism;

Doing a Disservice

"Those who want to engage in judgements of things that happened 250 years ago and ignore the context of the period do history and themselves a disservice..."
- Scott Morrison today

"My mother would sit and cry and tell me this; they buried our babies in the ground with only their heads above the ground. All in a row they were. Then they had tests to see who could kick the babies’ head off the furthest. One man clubbed a baby’s head off from horseback.

Dutton is Extremely Concerning

Dutton will never relent with his attacks on all perceived enemies. He will never respond to criticism with anything more than the pleasure and enthusiasm he derives from attracting it. He is a racist, a misogynist and a misanthrope for sure, but worse than that, he is a paranoid control freak, an obsessed hater, a would be dictator.
