GOVT LOOKS OTHER WAY AS ACTU CHOKES MELBOURNE
Tens of thousands of unions walk off the job illegally and shut down the centre of Melbourne, again illegally. Yet: "Employers have criticised the Turnbull government and the Fair Work Ombudsman over their lack of response to allegedly unlawful industrial action by workers attending the ACTU rally."
Up to 100,000 fired-up union workers marched through the streets of Melbourne in protest of workplace conditions.
The disruptive rally caused the closure of major roads and tram routes across the CBD.
A sea of chanting high-vis workers began their march from Trades Hall to the Melbourne Magistrates’ Court.
A heavy police presence followed the rally as it made its way through the CBD...
The protest caused major disruptions across the public transport network, with angry passengers being booted from trams suspended at Flinders St.
Employers have criticised the Turnbull government and the Fair Work Ombudsman over their lack of response to allegedly unlawful industrial action by workers attending the ACTU rally that disrupted the Port of Melbourne and the city’s central business district this week...
Resource sector employers said yesterday the rally contravened laws, disrupted the city and illegally shut down critical port and transport services but there seemed to be no ramifications for individuals and groups behind it.
“We haven’t heard a whisper from those tasked with upholding Australia’s laws condemning the unions inciting this action,’’ said Australian Mines and Metals Association chief executive Steve Knott said.
“If the Fair Work Ombudsman with its $188 million budget and 736 staff wasn’t asleep at the wheel, individuals engaging in such illegal action would have been well aware they could face fines up to $12,600.”
[Fair Work Ombudsman Natalie James] refused to respond to the criticism yesterday or provide any comment on the rally.
Mr Knott said the “silence is also deafening from the government, which is yet to publicly condemn the illegal industrial action."

Real men: Ukraine’s heroes shame us
Ukraine's heroes have shamed us. These real men have shown us something that we in the West think we've lost, having had manhood and patriotism beaten out of us.
SO TALKING ABOUT FAKE ABORIGINES IS NOW ALLOWED?
Amazing. Now there's even a play about white people pretending to be black, and the woke Sydney Morning Herald praises it. What a change from the days when it joined the pack attack on me for writing about this astonishing race-shifting. Read on.
We can’t sell our freedom for Chinese-Australian votes
Australia has 1.2 million people of Chinese ancestry. Now there are warnings that the Liberals should go soft on the Chinese dictatorship, to keep those voters happy. That toxic identity politics is a danger to Australia and an insult to many of our Chinese. My column here.
ROY SPENCER: GOOGLE PUNISHED ME FOR REPORTING THE REAL TEMPERATURE
Dr Roy Spencer runs the world's most authoritative measurement of the world's temperature, using NASA satellites. Google has now demonetised his website, where he reports the results. It accuses him of spreading "harmful" news - which is that the planet is not warming anything like as fast as predicted. Here he speaks on The Bolt Report.

The Liberals are trying to smear and smash Anthony Albanese. But they aren't talking much about his real problem - the one that worries me most. My column from The Bolt Report.
