Bolt Report up in the air
AFTER his final Ten show for the year, Andrew Bolt and his family held a Christmas lunch at his home in Melbourne yesterday. Dining on his home-cooked moussaka and fennel sausages were Janet Albrechtsen, Bruce Hawker, Richard Marles, Josh Frydenberg, Tim Wilson, Andrew Landeryou and his wife, HSU official Kimberley Kitching, Judith Sloan and Rowan Dean. In a heartfelt speech to staff, Bolt said the future of his show was unclear — it may not return to Ten. While he didn’t elaborate, Diary can reveal Sky is keen to have the Bolt Report on its network. They’d also love Bolt to host his own nightly show instead of a weekly one. Executives at Sky, Ten and News Corp are highly complimentary of Bolt’s mainstream appeal and charm on camera. The fact his Sunday program rates better than ABC’s Insiders doesn’t hurt either.
wreitten by sharri markson ( the australian's media editor) I doubt very much that bolt rates better than insiders. so that would be the usual murdoch murdoch spin
I thought bolt seemed a bit anxious when i watched a bit of his show a couple of weeks ago
I love moussaka, but sadly Mrs Wine doesn't care for eggplant. Fennel sausages sound good too. I use dill seeds rather than fennel, I think the taste is a bit softer. I wonder if Andrew has a bit of Greek heritage ? Hopefully it was washed down by copious amounts of Agiorgitiko. Wish I was there
Interestingly enough, a couple of weeks ago he wrote a couple of 'less than flattering' stories about his mate abbott, like this one
Which leaves Abbott, promising to improve and listen more.
But he’s promised this before, and the Queensland disaster is the final straw for many MPs.
That’s understandable. First and most obviously, Abbott was probably the difference between a narrow LNP win and a narrow loss. He was so unpopular in Queensland that he was told to stay away from Premier Campbell Newman’s campaign.
Then came his self-indulgent decision to make Prince Philip a knight, which made his party such a laughing stock that the last week of Newman’s campaign was completely swamped.
Australian voters can’t be commanded, tricked, bullied, surprised, taken for granted or treated like fools. How many leaders have learned that already? Abbott, too, has broken promises — on spending cuts and tax rises. And, like Newman, he picked too many fights, announced radical schemes without real consultation and made several idiosyncratic decisions, such as reinstating knighthoods.
He now seems out of touch, unpredictable and too self-willed. One who imposes, not persuades.
Already he’s hinted he will today announce he’s scrapping or cutting his costly paid parental leave scheme, which few Australians support.
But much more is needed.
Can Abbott change as he must?
His leadership rests on that question.
and now he's back to supporting abbott. the press are saying he lost too many readers and upset the RW.... so there you go
