I had never watched Andrew Bolt before. Richard di Natale was very impressive and calm. I got hot under the collar at Bolt calling those fleeing to Europe ‘illegal migrants’.

A friend sent this to me, G. Gran. I too, like you, get furious with these persecuted people being called ‘illegal migrants.’

I know Australian politics isn’t everyones cup of tea, but I’m glad Richard Di Natale is an intelligent strong leader.

Di Natale restores my faith in the possibility of rational intelligence in politics. But in the end, I couldn’t watch the whole interview. Andrew Bolt makes me want to weep with rage and frustration.

I agree, Andrew Bolt irritates the pants off me! I did watch this one and was pleased to see Richard holding his own, in fact Andrew Bolt was stuck for words!

Very interesting, Barbara….Much the same kind of thing we see on TV in the US…..a real taking of sides and strong opinions by two people who have their heels dug- in and love to opine about things they can’t do anything about….

Of course I know almost nothing about Australian politics, but I find it interesting that you and your readers all seem to favor the same side of the argument……

I guess the right wing Australians wouldn’t read my blog, as I’d upset them too much, Cythia. Politics in Australia are in a sorry state at the moment, but you are entitled to disagree Cynthia! 🙂

I am filled with admiration for Richard Di Natale making it through that entire interview without punching Andrew Bolt in the nose. I sure wanted to.
