Andrew Bolt, the IPA & Gina Rinehardt

 

Andrew Bolt, the IPA & Gina Rinehardt by Malachi Doyle

 

The Media Commentator Andrew Bolt is employed by the Institute of Public Affairs (the IPA), a Right Wing think Tank, which is funded heavily by Gina Rinehardt & the Mining Industry. One of their goals is to overturn the Racial Discrimination Act & thus to attempt to invalidate First Nations People’s claims to land, to better enable further mining & prospecting, including fracking.

Why does the media never talk about organisations like the IPA?, pretending that the view expressed by people such as Bolt is his own, & felt sincerely.

This is payola. Rupert Murdoch is also closely affiliated with the IPA, & has been guest speaker at their events.

We live in dark times, where journalistic integrity has been supplanted by commentators representing organisations which pay them to communicate the interests of non-disclosed sponsors.

& the people are ignorant of this. The average Australian’s grasp of rhetoric & intellectual integrity has become so poor & degraded, that they would not see a problem anyway.

 

Anyway, I don’t enjoy writing about this. I do so out of a belief in democratic openness. That individuals like Rinehardt can use the media’s bidding to rig elections sickens me, as it runs counter to any traditions of justice that Australia once espoused. In its place, might has replaced right & governments & the ‘quiet Australians’ play along.

 

I don’t know how to finish this, except to say, after Mick Jagger, “Shine a light!” on all this nefarious & surreptitious business. Democracy can only work if the players act in good faith & out in the open.


P.S.

All this information is easily available on the web.

    Always good to see the corporate manipulators of public opinion being called out and how so true re. intellectual integrity and rhetoric - the likes of Bolt, Rhinehart and co will always look after their own interests and if they can keep people stupid to it, or dependent, all the better. That's how I see it.

Win ugly

  Win ugly I win ugly for some bloody reason I win ugly Life’s like footy Playin into the wind Some days you act like you wish it was over Some days you get the word from the coach & you take it in your stride Though you know ur only D grade Who thought you could play ruck rover & play a ruddy blinder Who thought you had it in ya? Not even ur mother Where did that come from? For you to walk like a king who knew you could sing?

In short, sharing versus selfishness

  In short, sharing versus selfishness   I have heard about The Yolngu people & gasped & sighed & dreamed & with my kite Tacked with & against the wind; Here in Dja Dja Wurrung country, Returning, Solitude for the Yolngu people Is prohibited It’s reason of ‘sorcery’ Offered Pride & closed heartedness Stunting & ending wisdom Without love, So much the better is Living communally on Country, The sounds of Nature: Birds animals water frogs Wind trees & bushes Yarnin & laughter: Relaxed, Part OF country, Not straining adrift to Examine & stand apart, & so, I write here Amongst friends, The sounds of The sitting room Food prepared, The birds the frogs A rabbit to be Air rifle shot & eaten People walkin & talkin & A sneeze The click tick Of finished oyster shells In the fireplace Chewing noises Pottery, Life in good Company Cooperation ...
