I think Labor will be elected, Liberals not offering strong vision: Bolt | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Andrew Bolt says he thinks Labor will be elected, as Liberals haven’t offered a ‘strong enough vision’ or ‘dared to argue’ against Labor’s global warming hype or its ‘crazy policy’. \n\nMr Bolt says it is ‘insane’ Opposition leader Bill Shorten promises a massive climate plan that would ‘kill most of remaining coal fired power stations, raise power prices, hurt farmers, and would make more motorists buy electric cars’, but won't tell Australians the cost of the plan. \n\nMr Bolt says if Labor is elected and brings in its policies, Australia will be hurt. \n\nImage: News Corp Australia\n The Australia Andrew Bolt wants will be hurt. The Australia most Australians want will come to fruition. Should a news organisation really be repeatedly advertising a directly partisan opinion piece? Do you have any misgivings at all about this? mediawatch ? ABCmediawatch ? Anyone ? Hurt? Like the hurt of the last six years? Like a failing economy, stagnant wages and doubled debt? On the scale of hurtiness, how hurty will it be?
