Tips for Wednesday, October 26
Tell us the news here. And my editorial from the latest The Bolt Report - is the US about to vote for a crook as president?
On my shows tonight - will a crook be preside...
On The Bolt Report on Sky at 7pm: why is the media ignoring new and damning evidence that Hillary Clinton sold access for millions of dollars? Plus Victoria's new puppy-farming laws: is this another greyhound-style overreaction that puts honest breeders out of business?
Who let them in?
Once against we must ask: has our refugee program put Australians in danger? Actually the answer is clear. Latest evidence: three men of African appearance carrying a machete and a gun have robbed and then smashed up a jewelry shop in Toorak.
Q&A; hijacked: why is the media not investigat...
I'm not sure Q&A host Tony Jones expected former CNN political director Christine Dolan to turn a bash-Trump question into an answer about how the media is not investigating what even Bob Woodward describes as Hillary Clinton's "corrupt" behavior.
The success of The Australian explained
Crikey's business model is to be on the Left, attacking the Right. Yet it is shocked - shocked - to discover that the success of The Australian lies in a deliberate decision to make it an alternative to the soft-Left Age and Sydney Morning Herald.
Barracking for the sharks
Animal rights extremists say we should treat animals like humans. But that means we should treat humans like animals. And so it is turning out.
How safe are Turnbull's subs?
I yesterday raised again questions about the cost and delays of Malcolm Turnbull's $50 billion order for submarines, as well as the reliability of the supplier. Cameron Stewart says there's also a security matter that Turnbull is trying to brush aside.
Newspoll: the incredible sinking Turnbull
Malcolm Turnbull sinks again in Newspoll, and the Liberals are lucky to be behind by "just" 48 per cent to Labor's 52. But there's no sign now that Turnbull is the man to lead them to recovery.
Two bunches of slackers
I am stunned. Not a single Australian on the dole lost a single dollar for failing to turn up to a job interview without a good excuse. Human Services Minister Alan Tudge seemed last night unable to explain why job agencies are refusing to uphold the rules.
Why is the Governor still there?
Tasmania's Governor is either stunningly ignorant of her responsibilities or deliberately misused her borrowed power when she attacked Pauline Hanson. Either way, it is surprising she has not resigned and that the Premier defends her.

How Insiders stitched up Abbott
The ABC is too big and biased for a healthy democracy - or for Tony Abbott, who was stitched up again yesterday.
On the shows tonight - Will I save the Reef!
On The Bolt Report on Sky at 7pm: football guru Mike Sheahan on why he appealed to me through in our biggest-selling daily to save the Great Barrier Reef. Resources Minister Matt Canavan on saving our coal mines from multinational green groups. Peta Credlin on fresh government strife - the resignation of Solicitor-General Justin Gleeson.
Where are the cartoonists to defend Leak?
Cartoonist John Spooner is astonished that so few fellow cartoonists have the courage or integrity to defend Bill Leak from the censor's eraser. And he disagrees with me on the best way for Leak to defend himself. (UPDATE: Another cartoonist attacked.)
Bacon arrested. ABC to the rescue
Once again, I must ask: is it obligatory for journalism academics to be of the Left? Well, the grip of the Left on journalism faculties sure works, to judge by the very kind coverage the ABC now gives to Wendy Bacon's confrontation with police.
Warmists more dangerous than warming
We have mothballed desalination plants. We had a useless carbon tax. We had the ruinous home insulation scam. South Australia just lost all power. So Matt Ridley is right: global warming alarmists are causing more damage with their schemes than global warming itself.
Hillary's sexism is worse
Jennifer Oriel says Donald Trump may be a sexist, but Hillary Clinton's sexism is more dangerous.
Tasmania's Governor should shut up or quit
A Governor-General or Governor is the ultimate umpire so must be a "respected person who remains entirely above partisan politics", as the late Richard McGarvie, an admired former governor and judge, said. So Tasmania's Governor crossed the line on the weekend with her extraordinary political attack on Pauline Hanson and her policies.
Stop these anti-coal fanatics now
India warns that green groups - backed with American money - are making investment in Australian mines too hard. So what is the Turnbull Government doing to save these mines and jobs?
Sinking feeling with Turnbull's subs
Israel will now buy new submarines for a sixth of the price of Malcolm Turnbull's, with the first to be delivered four years earlier. But that's not the only strange thing about Turnbull's $50 billion promise.
Victorian boasted: no restraint chairs. Thugs...
In July Victoria boasted that it was not like the Northern Territory and did not restrain violent juveniles in detention with tear gas, restraint chairs and spit hoods. Now teen thugs have taken over and smashed up their unit in the Malmsbury Youth Justice Centre, and a WorkSafe report warns the lives of staff members are at risk.
ABC hates Trump so much they can't even laugh...
Such is the hatred of Donald Trump that courses through the ABC that a presenter treats this excellent joke from Trump as a faux pas. Is that because Trump failed to conform to the ABC's preferred stereotype?
Abbott haters forget Turnbull is 0/3 in this ...
TONY Abbott’s haters are again bashing him, this time for sabotaging Malcolm Turnbull. They are missing the big picture. In their three big battles in the past week, Turnbull was on the wrong side each time. Even when he won.
Turnbull blasts politician for "waffling" abo...
Malcolm Turnbull? Saying this about someone else?

Rowena draws Tim a picture
The gender-fluid Rowena Dean is always ready to help the afflicted through her agony column. Today's letter comes from a poor Race Discrimination Commissioner needing pen-pals with complaints to save his job.
The West can't defend itself
In Austria, an Iraqi asylum seeker wins his appeal against his conviction for raping a 10-year-old at a pool. The court agreed he might not have known the boy didn't want to be buggered. In Australia, an Afghan refugee on ice and driving a stolen car mows down a policeman and smashes into a police car and ambulance to escape. He is not jailed.
No to coal: how SA Labor killed reliable powe...
A new letter shows how South Australia's Labor government, maddened by its global warming religion, refused a deal to save its last coal-fired power station. Result: electricity bills shot up and the whole state lost its power.
Credlin: only Turnbull was talking guns for v...
"This should never be a hard choice for any prime minister. It certainly wasn’t for Tony Abbott." Peta Credlin says Tony Abbott did not and could not have traded guns for votes. But Malcolm Turnbull is a different story.

It is our government, not theirs
Chris Kenny describes the family links of the Solicitor-General and wonders if he and his class realise that the voters are the boss in this democracy. Or are meant to be.
Israel gets subs at a sixth of Turnbull's pri...
Malcolm Turnbull told us he's ordering 12 submarines for $50 billion, with the last to be delivered in 50 years. Israel is now reportedly buying three submarines for $2 billion, with delivery in a few years. Are we getting ripped off?
Turnbull can't and won't appease Abbott
Dennis Shanahan on Tony Abbott's damaging attack on Malcolm Turnbull's seeming willingness to trade guns for votes: "It’s not about Abbott becoming leader again, it’s about him not being sufficiently gainfully employed." But could Turnbull ever offer Abbott real work?
The Australian shouldn't "justify" Leak's car...
The problem with The Australian's defence of Bill Leak's cartoon is that it already cedes the right to the censors to delete cartoons and articles they think are not justified. I'd prefer the lawyers to offer no defence but the defence of free speech in a free society.
How foreign activists are killing Australian ...
Leaked emails show that the multinationals who are really ripping us off are the multinational green groups, boasting about evading our taxes and killing Australian jobs.
The breakup of Australia
In the documentary I shot this year for the ABC I tried to warn that the Turnbull Government's plan to change the constitution to recognise Aborigines as the First Australians and give them extra rights would logically and inevitably lead to demands for sovereignty. Historian Keith Windschuttle now has a new book explaining just that threat.
Manne: Left, Right Left and now right again
Robert Manne, author of Left, Right, Left, has long wanted a cause that pits him again some Manichean foe. He was brilliant at first in outlining how our Left caved to Soviet influence, then lost himself in promoting the "stolen generations" myth and global warming. But finally he is back - describing the ideological origins of the Islamic State.

Bill Leak right, says top cop
Bill Leak drew an Aboriginal drunk who did not remember his son's name. SBS told Leak to f... himself. The Race Discrimination Commission branded him a racist. Now the Human Rights Commission is investigating him. But WA's top police officer says the cartoon is an "accurate reflection" of reality - and has the evidence.
Tim Wilson: 90 seconds on free speech
Liberal MP Tim Wilson takes just 90 seconds to explain why the wicked Racial Discrimination Act must be changed to stop it from being used as a weapon to censor debate.
Turnbull vs Abbott: the war is on
Malcolm Turnbull and Tony Abbott are in a brawl of mutually assured destruction, with the wounded Prime Minister having the most to lose. Turnbull yesterday publicly suggested Abbott was a liar, and then Abbott blasted back.
Democrats have also queried election results
Call out those hypocrites of the Democrats and the media who claim it's "horrifying" that Trump won't say he'll accept the election result. Have they forgotten Al Gore, to name just one?
Get the Speccie now
So much great reading again in the latest Spectator Australia, including the article I disagree with. And note: editor Rowan Dean is on The Bolt Report tonight.
Tips for Friday, October 21
Pass on your news here. My editorial from The Bolt Report - the Donald Trump-Hillary Clinton debate. Trump showed he knows he will lose, but Clinton showed she'll be trouble.
On my shows tonight - Trump, Triggs and troub...
On The Bolt Report on Sky at 7pm: The verdict on the final Trump-Clinton debate. And Gillian Triggs: why she must quit. Plus: why is Victoria suddenly so much more violent than NSW?
Why doesn't Turnbull say "je suis Bill Leak"?
Remember the crowds last year claiming to be appalled by the massacre of four cartoonists at the Charlie Hebdo magazine in Paris? Remember their chant of protest at the slaughter of those cartoonists and eight others by Islamists upset by their drawings? “Je suis Charlie” — I am Charlie — they lied.
Vic schools claim boys conditioned to be hete...
Victorian children will be taught that men and boys are conditioned by society to be “heterosexual”, “emotionless” and encouraged to exert dominance over women. Their parents will learn never to trust the school system with their poor children.
Former Greenpeace boss backs fracking
Stephen Tindale, former executive director of Greenpeace: "As a lifelong champion of the Green cause, I’m convinced that fracking is not the problem but a central part of the answer." So end the scare-mongering.
"Children" play West for mugs
We've had the same phenomenon here, of adults pretending to be child refugees. Now Britain is falling for it.
Proof: wind power caused the SA blackout
South Australian Premier Jay Weatherill - along with green energy interests and many journalists - claimed South Australia's fault had nothing to do with the state's wind generators. They were telling untruths. A new report into the disaster concludes the blackout was caused by wind farms suddenly going off line, while gas generators didn't.
