Andrew Bolt : Sychophant or Information Provider?
“Abbott’s role in galvanising international action has been almost unprecedented for an Australian prime minister.
The media from Tokyo to Washington have reported it.
Dutch journalists at media conferences last week admiringly contrasted Abbott’s calls for action with their own leader’s calls for calm.
And Russia has noticed, too, first blasting Abbott’s criticisms as “unacceptable” and then — government sources say — subjecting Australian diplomatic communications to intense surveillance.
Abbott, as a Catholic and student of past battles with totalitarianism, understands evil.”

John Kelly: Supports my Tokyo to Washington search. Bolt is nothing more than a Sychophant
“We have been given the impression by certain members of the media recently that Tony Abbott is being hailed as some sort of world leader in the aftermath of MH17. Try as I did to find any reference to him in any of the major news dailies around the world, I couldn’t. I found several negative references concerning his abandonment of the carbon tax and his attempts to deregulate university fees, but nothing that linked his name to MH17.”
” Notwithstanding their efforts, the Prime Minister appears to have had his moment in the sun, and one gets the impression now, that his ongoing efforts to bring us the latest updates on gaining access to the crash scene, are nothing more than grandstanding. The latest poll taken after the MH17 tragedy suggests he has been given a few brownie points for little more that what would be expected of any national leader just doing his job. So, is he so naive as to think his grandstanding on the tragedy of MH17 will absolve him of past unpopular decisions and restore his credibility with the voters?”
