Our leaders deserve respect as well as criticism

Although terrible mistakes have been made, we should thank our political leaders for fighting like hell to stop a frightening virus even our top scientists struggle to understand. We can criticise their failings but that should come with respect, writes Andrew Bolt.

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA - JULY 28: Lizzy Jarret speaks with the media prior to delivering a petition to NSW Parliament calling for immediate action and the investigation of Aboriginal deaths in custody, including the death of David Dungay Jr, on July 28, 2020 in Sydney, Australia. The rally was organised to protest against Aboriginal deaths in custody and in solidarity with the global Black Lives Matter movement. More than 400 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have died in custody across Australia since the 1991 Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths In Custody. As the protest is unauthorised by authorities, NSW police have the power to arrest and prosecute attendees for breaking a current COVID-19 health order which bans mass gatherings.

Race-baiters ignore truth on David Dungay’s death

Race-baiters would have you believe that David Dungay is a symbol of the “racism” in our legal system. Yet the left and the media shy away from the fact he was a violent thief and woman beater who died in a struggle with warders trying to stop him eating himself to death, writes Andrew Bolt.

Political games have made crisis worse for everyone

If our leaders had got the basics of this pandemic under control — keeping the infectious in quarantine and the old safe — the rest of us could have got on with life, but political games have destroyed trust and sent us into a new wave, writes Andrew Bolt.

Bolt: Andrews’ mask mandate ignores the science

Nothing is more important than protecting the old during this pandemic, given a third of our dead were in nursing homes. Yet the media have rushed to embrace desperate Dan’s mandatory mask rules while ignoring what would really stop people from dying, writes Andrew Bolt.

When did Australia become so soft?

Australia used to be a land where we got on with the job and admired those who kept a stiff upper lip, now the wounded and bleeding are being heralded as heroes. We need to harden up because nobody likes a whinger, writes Andrew Bolt.

Poisonous cancel culture gets new Princess of Woke

Meghan Markle’s latest woke advice to the young is to “drown out the noise” of anyone who disagrees — without consideration or argument — proving this cancel culture is a revolt by brainless, intellectually lazy bullies, writes Andrew Bolt.

Why Stan must stop playing the victim card

Stan Grant may seem to be living the Australian Dream but now he says that dream “is rooted in racism”. It’s time to stop playing obsessive race politics, which only encourages people to count their hurts and not their blessings, writes Andrew Bolt.
