Andrew Bolt's Blog,24/11/17; Manus and the prisoners of War; Update by Richard Flanagan;

Bolt is seriously offended literally a victim, a potential captive of the  "illegal Immigrants" we got rid of to PNG. Remember the "babies overboard lie"? When the Howard government and News Corp tried to blame the parents of babies for embarrassing us internationally trying to make us the victims of the asylum seekers. When the rest of the world and international law dictated that they were asylum seekers and not illegal immigrants Bolt's term for them. But who gives a damn what the rest of the world thinks. Well, we still do and it's why News Corp and Bolt keep trying to control the narrative as PR agents for Dutton when he continues to show himself to be a ham-fisted dolt.
Like the babies overboard we need to be seen as the victim over and above anything else and won't be dictated to even if wrong. These ungrateful Muslim prisoners are stirring the unwanted feelings   Australian Muslims here and already radicalizing them. They are among us as we speak. (The Bolt Report cuts to a Muslim woman asking hard questions on Q&A). It doesn't matter that no Muslim women have ever been arrested. Bolt's just winding up the audience to cheer the message like a game show.
 We Have heard this before from Bolt on how badly we the conservative elite have been treated and made to look like fools. Of course, we have, Don Dale where the poor guards being insulted and offended, made to look bad the victims of the rebellious indigenous brats they dutifully looked after. Just look at their work conditions. Those kids keep their accommodation like pigstyes and expect others to keep things tidy. They are simply untrainable and need to be taught the meaning of obedience and rules in the harshest way possible. Like Muslims, their culture is just too poor to have raised them properly. Bolt almost breaks out into son don't you wish they were more like us.  Any wonder missionaries and social welfare removed them as babies and put them into homes.
The homeless have brought on their conditions themselves as have all those bludgers on welfare. They need to be policed and investigated as closely to see if they too are illegals or just bludgers who claim to need help like asylum seekers.
Bolt simply doesn't stop pointing people out to who he applies and demands the rule of the rod. He is the example of the psychology of the conservatives in a  system that breeds and produces a  division between haves and have-nots the system under which we have organized ourselves has produced and continues to produce our separation. It's a system that's been with us for more than 200 years and one that so easily convinces the 'haves' that their position is deserved and earned and any hand up given as help questionable. It's a belief in only a limited good insufficient to share whose distribution has been earned and is the result of a "Natural Order" of god or social evolution. 
Currently, immigration, education, and calls for social change are a threat to that order, the hierarchy of privilege and power. Dysfunction is a problem, yes but it needs to be policed in order that the balance is maintained. To suggest that the dysfunction actually a sign of a greater wrong invites the expansion of chaos in our social system. To treat conservatives those who protect it as idiots is the problem and that's what the Asylum seekers on Manus have been doing for over 4 years. 


Behrouz Boochani on Manus Island
The wretched of the earth, because they were no longer safe where they lived, sought to come here. With a determined cruelty, we kidnapped and imprisoned them in Pacific lagers. These lagers became synonymous with the idea of hellholes because it was important to our government that they be – ­and be known as – hellholes.
On this policy of deterrence, as it was called, which had as its declared purpose to make innocent human beings suffer indefinitely, we spent billions of dollars. To this end we had truck with vile regimes such as Sri Lanka’s. And to this end we began forsaking our democratic rights.
In the camps the refugees were made to answer to numbers given to them as their new identity. Denied their names they were not even allowed their stories. Every attempt that could be made was made by the Australian government, from the petty to the disturbing, to deny journalists access to the Pacific lager. When it came to imprisoned refugees free speech became a crime: for some years any doctor, nurse or social worker in the camps who publicly reported on the many instances, now well-documented, of rape, murder, suicide and sexual abuse of refugees was liable to two years’ imprisonment.

Rohingya refugees say they would rather "drown at sea" than be sent back to Myanmar.

What Bolt refuses to understand what Asylum really means :




The lack of empathy refusal to listen or say you just might be wrong are all signs of psychopathic and sociopathic tendencies
