"His lone-wolf voice has won support among cane farmers and tourist operators but defies consensus by 150 of the world’s leading coral reef experts about the dire state and fate of the reef." News Corp
It's strange isn't it that the Daily Telegraph News Corp's description of Ridd doesn't even seem to align with Bolt's.
You see Bolt believes when all the scientific evidence in the world suggests smoking causes cancer he and his paper have the freedom to irresponsibly deny it and the right to encourage us to smoke. If the tobacco companies put up the money he's obliged by the principles of business to take it and argue against responsible Social policies. Even if irresponsible attitudes like that result in the further deaths of children and adults bucking researched truth for corporate profit overrides any responsibility or social justice. After all, Bolt simply equates science as just another voice like religion in the marketplace of ideas. Frankly, we haven't the time to argue with media negators of researched like Bolt Jones et al when peoples lives are at stake now. There are occasions when there is little time for discussion. Abbott was an expert in the 'false emergency" and we clearly saw it in his nope nope nope approach to do nothing it certainly wasn't researched but it was backed by News Corp.
CAN'T THEY CLEAN UP THEMSELVES?
Column I’m not sure who’s lazier. The illegal immigrants at Manus Island or the activists shocked that no one will clean their own mess? Now, excuse me, but exactly who did they think should clean their toilets, remove their bottles and pick up their dropped paper?

I know who is lazier it's Andrew Bolt who seems to be repeating a commentary he made once already this month probably in the hope nobody would notice.
1) International law dictates those people on Manus "asylum seekers" aren't illegal. Australia is breaking International Laws.
2) Bolt in the tradition of right-wing extremists who deny the people on Manus aren't victims but rather they are the creators of their own demise and are a reputational threat to us as a Nation.
3) This petulant elitist expects prisoners with no access to water or tools to be able to clean and service the facilities the Australian government is obliged to provide them. Their safety the major priority. When even the PNG government don't want them there.
4) Bolt is no better than a Nazi guard at a Jewish concentration camp who had the same opinion of the Jews behind the barbed wire. They are less than human just vermin. Bolt runs the same argument against Indigenous Australians, the homeless the disadvantaged and in general people on welfare. In fact, it what he thinks of people on welfare is they need policing rather than help.Help for Bolt is the last and never the first measure to be taken.
"Now, excuse me, but exactly who did the illegal immigrants think should clean their toilets, remove their bottles and pick up their dropped paper?
Are they really too bone idle to do a little scrubbing and picking up after themselves?"
Andrew Bolt is the very reason we as a nation need a radical shift in our power structure. One that ensures the redistribution of opportunity and fairness a return to prioritizing values of Universal Rights, Social Justice and, Equality as goals to be achieved rather than avoided. Bondi Life Guards don't qualify who it is they have to save from drowning. Bolt can't be relied on to do it so others must do it for him.
Basically, Bolt is trying to apologize for Peter Dutton's great policing of asylum seekers by arranging the care in Cambodia for $50 mill and PNG at ongoing costs letting them die and saying it has nothing to do with us. That's pretty responsible of us and according to Bolt puts us on the global moral high ground as a nation.

Posturing outrage Bolt is loving it. Wait for the call to bring Abbott back he's sorry he's changed and he's listening. It's a pity about the fact that he hasn't said anything recently because Malcolm is in the country and not overseas. Wasn't Abbott active then.
JELENA DOKIC: NO ONE SAW I WAS IN DANGER
Former tennis champion Jelena Dokic can't understand why tennis officials and reporters didn't notice she was in danger from her father. From our interview on The Bolt Report.
1h
Everyone did see she was in danger. However just as we saw that Yassmin Abdel -Magid was in danger of an abusive Murdoch press with the likes of Andrew Bolt the leading the abuse we chose not to punch back. In that circumstance male, female young or old has no means of defense. The voice and power of an abusive press is simply too great unstoppable and overbearing. Bolt is comparable to a guard at Don Dale comfortable in the circumstance in which whoever he chooses to attack hasn't any weapons to counter with. Jelena Dokic is an example not just her father's abuse but cultural abuse that said we shouldn't interfere. Jelena Yassmin Dylan you were all victims of a 'me' and not a 'we' culture.
Bill Shorten is the new Tony Abbott
Column Bill Shorten is the Tony Abbott of the Labor Party — and I mean that in a good way. Both men are superb Opposition leaders. All Shorten needs now is to not make Abbott’s big mistake.
Yes in terms of elections they are both drovers dogs. Bolt admits in this sentence that Abbott never won an election Labor lost. The same can be said of Shorten but with a difference. He wasn't as aggressively negative as Abbott no "ditch the bitch" heard here. The only similarity being the party he's in opposition to has killed itself very much so with the help of none other than Tony Abbott. Remember Bolt said he didn't have a dog in the race well rest assured he's hoping to re-enter is again despite the fact it's lame and with a track record that would make the race look extremely Latin American or African "fixed"

Well done that man who sang the national anthem at the 'Gabba before the First Test. And isn't is just great to hear the voice of Bill Lawry? It takes us to a great space.

THE JULIE BISHOP MIRAGE
James Campbell doubts rumors of a Julie Bishop leadership push, with Scott Morrison as deputy: "Asked how many votes she could rely on, a minister reflected for a couple of seconds before answering: 'Maybe a couple of the women. Maybe.'... Morrison does have a number of votes ... though opinions differ about whether that number is six or seven."

TURNBULL ENERGY PLAN DOESN'T MAKE THE CUTS IT CLAIMS
This suggests Malcolm Turnbull's National Energy Guarantee is a dud: "Wholesale electricity price reductions that the Turnbull government attributes to its preferred National Energy Guarantee policy will really be driven by the existing Renewable Energy Target, government modeling says."
