I've just learned that Julie Bishop has resigned as
the Foreign Affairs Minister but that she will stay
on the backbench until the next election - representing
her electorate of Curtin in WA. The PM must be relieved.
It's a very noble thing for Ms Bishop to do - especially
considering that none of her WA colleagues cast even one
vote for her in her recent challenge for PM.

The lady shows class - and party loyalty.

She deserves to be rewarded with a high ranking overseas
posting - where she could continue to do Australia proud.

Foxy, are you suggesting that a person, or persons, that pass by several safe havens to flee persecution is a refugee? If you are, then it is pointless having any discussion with you as my view is they are clearly not genuine refugees. At a pinch they were when the arrived at Indo, but once they left indo their refugee status was left behind and they became que jumpers, wanting to jump in front of genuine people applying for entry to our country.

Hurrah, The only reason that Foxy, Paul and Co are so upset for the events last week is that the sure bet for a Labor win is now gone. At least now there is a chance for a continuance of good government with a conservative at the helm.

What happened last week should have happened long ago but it took much time for the Libs to wake up to the mistake they made in putting Malfunction in charge. They obviously had a brain ceizure that day.

There is no doubt the both Morrison and Dutton both did a great job with Immigration and deserve the respect of all Australians for the work well done in stopping the illegals and freeloaders.

The mention of Mr Murdochs name in relation to last weeks events is just pure speculation as there is no evidence for such allegations. The lefties are just looking for a scapegoat and should be disregarded.

Many Australians are so upset because
they've had their PM deposed by vicious MPs who
placed their own agendas first - ahead of the interests
of the nation and they were helped by the Rubert Murdoch
owned News Corporation newspapers - such as The Australian,
The Daily Telegraph, the Murdoch owned pay-tv channel Sky
News, and the Fairfax owned Sydney radio station 2GB.

A recent article in The Conversation tells us:

"There's overwhelming evidence that the News Corp newspapers,
Sky News, and 2GB shock jocks have given encouragement,
legitimacy, and a megaphone to the most revolutionary elements
in the Liberal and National parties."

"Their coverage has been characterised by the prominence given
to racial sentiments such as those of Andrew Bolt recent
assertions and alarmist warnings about immigration typified
by references to African gangs."

"These all play to the audiences of the extreme conservative
element of the Liberal Party whose figurehead has been the
government's distabiliser -in-chief - Tony Abbott, and
whose front bench puppet and champion has been Peter Dutton."

"Sky News in its night-time panels is dominated by people
promoting extreme views. Earlier this month it went so far
as to invite a neo-Nazi on air only to apologise when the
heat came on the next day."

" there's Abbott's former
chief-of-staff, Peta Credlin who has used her program to
promote Abbott's brand of reactionary politics and attack
Turnbull with a vengeance."

"On 2GB meanwhile the likes of Alan Jones and Ray Hadley have
given the Abbott camp not just free kicks. Hadley has Abbott
on his show regularly, but both have created an on-air
culture where outrage is encouraged. Not only encouraged -
but required."

"For example Jones referred to, key Turnbull
backer - Mathias Cormann as a "nig**r in the woodpile".
He later apologies, but it's not the first time he's used the
word."

All this amounts to Foxification of Australian politics and it
follows the template devised by Murdoch in creating a
highly partisan TV channel - Fox News which has an ideological
agenda to what the extreme right stands for in Australia.

It is unfortunate that the Liberal Party founded by
Sir Robert Menzies which has been supported by
Australians for decades started to crumble to the
extent that it needed a Coalition to get into
Government and now it's being further destroyed by
the extreme element which guarantees its future
oblivion unless these extreme influences are removed
and rejected by the Liberal Party.

We can only hope and trust that these self-serving
elements are gone prior to the next election for the
survival of the Party.

Hasbeen see what you are saying, proud to be always in much closer contact with reality than you, but admit that is no hard task,Bishop was not a victim of hate, she was disliked by the Abbott faction, but her WA mates needed to make sure Morrison ran second not her, because without that the second ballot would have installed Dutton, they and enough others in that room, did not want that.Bishop, even under a Labor government has well and truly earned an Ambassador's role,the one she wants too.
