Reference :- Yesterday's local newspaper ran a full page of Andy Bolt's cutting edge journalism . It was impossible to determine whether it was an actual article or a paid advertisement from Sky News , but what a treat it was to enjoy Australia's most read columnist over a morning cuppa .
Thanks Andy . You managed to squeeze two illuminating articles on to the page , and as usual ,both are worthy of comment .
I see you are still relentlessly pursuing the truth regarding the genetic heritage of author and experienced firefighter Mr Bruce Pascoe . The Australian Federal Police have dismissed allegations against him . I guess they have many more pressing investigations into high level corruption to deal with , so good on you for not giving up.
Mr Pascoe may be a nice bloke who has warned us about the importance of controlled burns for years , but it is clearly a danger to the nation if his belief that he has an aboriginal ancestor is mistaken . He does claim that only a fraction of a smidgen of his blood contains indigenous corpuscles . But that may be untrue . It's obviously difficult to confirm , what with all those massacres and forced relocations over the years , but a thorough investigation is clearly in the national interest . I feel certain you are just the man to tease the facts from the wild claims and the racism .
I tried to get my son Ken junior to read that part of your advertisement , or column if you prefer , but half way through he lost interest and nodded off. Sadly, unlike us , many young ones don't value the truth anymore .
The bigger headline on your page informed us that global warming is good for us . The farmers around here are certainly glad to read that , especially since you referenced the sources leading you to arrive at that conclusion . I see you are still telling climate scientist Professor Pitman what he thinks . It's a bit rich of him to keep claiming you have quoted him out of context . Who does he think he is ? Nobody has the right to explain that articles written about them don't reflect their actual opinion . Clearly you know what his opinion is , not him.
But Andy , I do worry about your relationship with young Rowan Dean, the prancing presenter of polar proliferation who sneers his way through the " Outsiders " weather reports . You and Dean have always stuck to your opinion that there is no global warming. For example , you have told fire chiefs they are crazy for believing it , activists that they are unscientific loonies , Westpac that they are fools for pandering to the global warming nonsense and so on .
Now that you have changed your mind and believe in global warming , does that mean you and Rowan have fallen out ? You have to be careful there , because Sky News relies heavily on interviewing it's own employees , so losing Rowan would severely limit your options.
Anyway , when Ken junior woke up I told him about your recent 180 degree switcheroo regarding global warming . And I told him all that stuff you wrote about changes in the Indian Ocean Dipole being the cause of the drought , not climate change . But the silly bugger said that the problem is that the dipole was being altered by climate change . I ask you , where is the logic in that ? It's like those ridiculous ads on the television that say drink driving kills . Drink driving is quite safe , crashing into things is what kills .
Like you, I deplore the way logic takes a back seat in most debates these days.
Your comrade , Ken .
