Just say nothing, Bill
Just how easy is it for Overington and Bolt to coach from the sidelines. The question isn't about what whether or not Bill Leak can or can't draw his cartoons. They would like you to believe that. No the question is does a person whose been offended have a right to say they have and that there is an umpire available to draw that attention to Bill Leak. It's a long road traveled before Boll Leak is even informed of the fact. A long road before mediation even comes into play or even if it's necessary that's why so few cases come to court. Andrew Bolt had a choice to politicize his case and he made that choice on the basis that Section 18D was a shoe in to get him off. But News Corp lawyers as hotshots they thought they were weren't. Bolt did more than just offend he lied and was loose with the facts doing it and that's what Peter Foster was found to be doing apart from just Pyramid selling. So the argument Bolt is running may not have eventuated had he actually accepted his recklessness with the truth. It's why Marcia Langton said he wasn't a racist but very much a liar using race to make his point. Langton you see distinguishes institutional racism from prejudice stemming from ignorance and misguided facts which Andrew Bolt was doing. He was doing that with Adam Goodes as well.
