By Andrew Bolt ~ Why wait?: Liberal insiders say Julie Bishop will retire from parliament just before the next election, despite speculation she might consider a career as opposition leader should the government lose the election, and despite the fact she has been re-endorsed for her seat of Curtin. One theory in Liberal ranks is […]

By Andrew Bolt ~ I’ve said that the current Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison had to call out former Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, who is determined to destroy the Liberal party that rejected him: Malcolm Turnbull has been in regular contact with Kerryn Phelps and one of his staff members helped the independent MP, who […]

By Andrew Bolt ~ The Liberal Party Left makes no sense in exploiting the Victorian debacle. Senate president Scott Ryan says this was “primarily a state campaign” and the state Liberals were in the “strong Liberal tradition” of Jeff Kennett – socially “liberal in their outlook”.

By Andrew Bolt ~ Victoria’s election was a disaster for the Liberal Party that has federal implications: The incumbent Labor Party Government looks set to win at least 60 of 88 seats… The win is the biggest for the Labor Party since Steve Bracks won 62 seats in the 2002 against Robert Doyle. The Liberals […]

By Andrew Bolt ~ Background: Here, be aware that where it mentions the Liberal Party, here in Australia, this is the major party from the Conservative side of the political divide.

By Andrew Bolt ~ You have been conned. The Liberal Party members have been betrayed by their leaders. (Here in Australia, the Liberal Party is the major political party from the conservative side of the political fence) Liberal Party MPs voted to scrap the carbon tax; now the Turnbull Government sneaks in a new one. […]

By Andrew Bolt ~ (Where you see the word Liberal here in reference to the name of the political party, that Liberal Party of Australia is the major political party from the Conservative side of politics here in Australia…..TonyfromOz) Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull’s Liberals are running the ultimate marginal seats campaign, under the influence […]

By Andrew Bolt ~ Australia’s new Prime Minister, Malcolm Turnbull’s first challenge will be to stop the Liberal Party from splitting. So far, so tentatively promising: Malcolm Turnbull is moving to appease his conservative colleagues by striking deals to quell the anger over the leadership plot against Tony Abbott, cementing policies on climate change and […]

By Andrew Bolt TonyfromOz prefaces ….. This adds to our earlier Post on this same subject. It may be centred mainly in Australia, but the importance lies in the fact that now it looks extremely likely that any Emissions Trading Scheme may be voted down in the Senate.

The way that the media are ‘handling’ Sarah Palin bears similarities to a degree on something that happened here in Australia. The lady in question was Pauline Hanson. She started political life as a member of her local council, and when an early Federal election was called in 1996, she was preselected to represent the […]
