Fans of Andrew Bolt’s column may have to wait a little longer for the News Corp commentator to return from his Christmas break. The prolific Sky News presenter and Herald Sun star blogger was expected back on board after Australia Day but has had to delay his return to work as he “fell out of a tree”. According to an internal email to Murdoch editors, Bolt broke three ribs and injured a wrist after climbing the tree.
Fellow Hun columnist Rita Panahi revealed her take on what befell Bolt during a chat on the 2GB evening show this week. “I’ve always accused him of being a tree hugger,” Panahi said. “He loves bird life and magpies.” Panahi went on to reveal that Bolt often popped out to buy minced meat for the magpies that visited his garden because he loved to feed them.
The history boys
Just when we thought we’d escaped Bolt’s views on Australia Day, he took to the airwaves on Thursday to tell 2GB’s Chris Smith about the so-called cultural elite who were trying to ruin Australia Day by disparaging our history. Bolt says that after years of teaching schoolchildren that Australia has a history of racism, it was inevitable that the campaign to change the date would gain momentum.
