Andrew Bolt

And you will not be paying for people that don't need it, though taxes.

No, he won't. Instead, he will be getting subsidised by the people whose taxes have paid for the construction of the rest of the network, but who can't afford the extra expense to make the final connection to access the full benefits of the network they have paid for.

This is a public infrastructure project built from public funds and, as such, equality of access should be the guiding principle.

The coalition's policy seeks to use public funds to subsidise the private choice of those who can afford to choose.

This is of course not inconsistent with some of their other policies and their overall ideological outlook but in my view it is simply a misappropriation of public funds and an abuse of the progressive tax system in this country, which is supposed to promote the principles of equity, rather than undermine them.

I missed Rudd on the Bolt tv show on Sunday, anyone see it?

 

[El_Scorcho]

Pretty impressive performance by Rudd.

 

[StrappingTape]

Yeah, he did well to keep a straight face while not answering questions and flat out lieing.

 

[bomberclifford]

The sheer genius of Rudd is that he's managed to provide the Australian public with a conservative government without the pesky need for having to go to an election.
Kevin Howard transforms to Tony Rudd in his blind quest for power.

And don't the kids love him.

It's unreal isn't it. I would also be surprised if Rudd doesn't also have psychopathic tendencies deep in his personality makeup.

 

[power09]

How many schools did he go to the other week, all the kids get around him

Then he dashed off the bring the troops home
Wat a Guy

I don't think he should have gone on that show, but bomberclifford is right. s**t hes just as bad at answering questions as every other politician. I believe you have to be like that though, as if he goes "yeah we won't see any results" then Bolt will go hard. I think my opinion has changed recently on refugees, there is not a good enough reason not to accept and help them, but I think the Labor party wouldn't get near an election if they said so (not sure what they would actually say of course).

Still, I prefer Rudd to Abbott, even if he isn't as faithful to his social beliefs as Abbott is.

I really don't like the two party system we have now, but s**t Australia doesn't have many problems so it doesn't keep me up at night.

 

[StrappingTape]

Why shouldn't he have gone on that show Lurk3r?

 

[El_Scorcho]

For the same reason that Tony Abbott has avoided an interview with anyone from the other side of politics since Leigh Sales tore him a new a-hole on the 730 report.

Holding your own against someone who is actively and aggressively trying to destroy your credibility takes a strong will and the ability to think on your feet.

Rudd did really well.

I'm not voting for him because his asylum seeker policy is an abomination and he can't have that and my left wing vote I'm sorry.

But he handled Bolt well.

If Rudd handled Bolt well then Leigh didn't tear Abbott a new a-hole.
Obviously Abbott should of completely ignored leigh's question and instead pump up his own achievements, then attack her making her out to be a crazy socialist.
would that be him doing really well?

 

[LeoMessi]

The problem is though if Abbot is the second best candidate in the elections, you can just imagine what his asylum seeker policy would be. I'm still voting for Rudd bc I do believe Rudd at least has a shred of humanity.

 

[Peck]

Why shouldn't he have gone on that show Lurk3r?

The same reason Obama should never, ever go on Glenn Beck's show*, he has nothing to gain by giving Andrew Bolt any credability, and it is quite frankly a very bad look for him to be arguing like that, but perhaps that happens all the time in politics? I don't see much political news/interviews.

(If I'm wrong and he has been on Glenn Beck... then may god have mercy on us all).

 

[StrappingTape]

Wow Lurk3r, that evil Andrew Bolt how dare he put forward some questions on things that Australians actually want answers to. What's so scary about talking to Andrew Bolt? Would you prefer everyone was interviewed only by people they agree with? Going by your logic should no coalition MP go on Insiders then or the 7:30 report? You know it's not that scary to go and find things out for yourself out in this big world.

I just think Bolt is a moron, who no one should listen to, and I mean no one.

Kevin Rudd appearing on his show gives him credibility that he absolutely shouldn't have.

Also, do you seriously want the answer to "Will we see less refugees before the election?" because that is one of the dumbest questions I've seen..

Yeah, who'd want to know when the PM thinks his PNG policy will start working...

 

[power09]

No, he won't. Instead, he will be getting subsidised by the people whose taxes have paid for the construction of the rest of the network, but who can't afford the extra expense to make the final connection to access the full benefits of the network they have paid for.

If somebody cannot afford to have the fiber cable connected to their home, then they would most likely not be able to afford to pay the FULL price of subscribing to the Maximum speeds available though Labor's NBN.
Guess they will have to do without usual household needs like streaming 8-10 multimedia files at once...

VDSL.. remember that acronym

That’s got to be a bullshit headline?

Surely?

Well * me.

Bolt is a bigger piece of s**t than we all thought.

 

[Grave Danger]

He should stick to tennis...

How on earth did noone veto or suggest a different topic for him to crusade on about,?
