Surely, Australia has a surfeit of me-too journalism. You don't have to agree with everything (or even anything) he says. But he does say things that others don't. Whether they need to be said is a matter of individual opinion - individually, on each issue he covers. Go it Andrew! Australia needs you.

Well done. There is no way to inform Andrew himself, but it is essential that we keep trying. barbh.

Andrew has his pet hates, mostly subjects he refuses to learn anything meaningful about and mostly no other journalist bothers anymore to correct his prejudices. I read his forum occassionally - he has banned me because he doesn't like me correcting him on some issues.

Just last week he was repeating the tired old story that Iraqi refugees weren't real refugees because they came through other countries - that is a perfectly legal thing to do and the fact that 98% of the Iraqis were granted refugee status here proves the point. After all who on earth would argue in any year that Iraqis could not be refugees?

He hates the Bakhtiyari family with a passion although he never spoke a single word to them. The mere fact that he has been proven to be wrong over and over again doesn't stop him.

Lowitja O'Donohue gets up his nose because he seems to think being given away by her white father is acceptable, don't know quite why that is.

He supports killing Iraqis and accuses anyone who disagrees with appeasement - refuses to accept that us killing Iraqis is no different to Saddam Hussein killiing Iraqis.

Yes he is a violently oppressively distinct man - but I will defend his right to the death to express his opinion.

He does not research anything or talk to real people so it is only his opinion. No one has to agree.

OnLine Opinion would create greater interest and debate by publishing some of Andrew Bolt's articles than waste its time with this sort of drivel

You've got to love old Bolty. Where would we be without him?

Every newspaper has its funnies section. I just don't understand why he isn't on the comics page with all the other comedians.

Every newspaper needs to have a fatuous reactionary redneck and cheerleader for conservatism.

Congratulations to the Herald-Sun for such a marvellous choice.
