Bolt was taken from the teat too young. Father Bob did a great job on him on SBS one night it was great.

It is disappointing to read that there are still those who seem to think that aboriginality is some sort of racial condition rather than a lived experience.

It is also rather strange reading about a person who expects us to trust his opinions when his capacity to potray facts is less than competent.

Our main concern should be with the recently publicised - but always known - depravity in aboriginal camps, not with Andrew Bolt says.

"In any case, why are you so concerned that many children with an Aboriginal parent or grandparent identify as Aboriginal themselves?

These children are often raised in remarkably supportive - if not materially comfortable - extended family environments, and grow up accepted by all concerned as Indigenous."

'Remarkably supportive'?

Graham Ring says to Andrew Bolt, "I imagine your columns are read by roughly a million more people than read mine." Which goes to show that merit and opportunity are not always closely related. How's this for an idea - Graham Ring and Andrew Bolt change places for three months?

On second thoughts, I accept Graham's rule of thumb: "it takes white fellas like us about two years of serious work to realise that we know absolutely nothing about Indigenous Australia." I don't think Andrew could last that long away - the readers of the National Indigenous Times wouldn't tolerate Andrew's red neck ignorance for that long.

Using civility on Bolt is a wasted effort, he only thinks in 'strict father' authoritarianism and will see your thoughts as weakness. Stroke his ego and name your powerful sponsor, thats the only way to reach such craven scribes of the plutocracy.
