Today Andrew Bolt was found guilty in the Federal Court of breaching the Racial Discrimination Act over two articles he wrote in 2009. He was being sued by nine Aboriginal people. Federal Court Justice Mordecai Bromberg found Bolt had breached the act because the articles were not written in good faith and contained factual errors.
Mr Bolt described the verdict as "a terrible day for free speech in this country". But at what point does "free speech" become "hate speech"?
We believe that Andrew Bolt's weekly television program, "The Bolt Report" provides him with another outlet for his racist (and other bigoted) views. Channel 10 should take responsibility for this and axe the program.
