Cardinal Pell honorary role with Richmond - Is this the last straw?

whats a convicted racist ?

Harsh on Shai Bolt. He's still young and might make it.

If Gillian Triggs thinks you're a racist, you are. At least in the minds of nutcases like OP.

Bolt's entitled to his opinion, even if it is controversial. We live in a democracy, not a totalitarian dictatorship. The biggest thing separating those two is the freedom to speak your mind. He hasn't done anything against the law. If the club revoked his membership or whatever for his opinion, that would be incredibly wrong. People are entitled to be right-wing whether you like it or not.

Don't get me wrong, I think the guy is deadset flog, but he's not a convicted paedophile. How would you like it if the club removed your membership because of your political views?

Pell was a patron of the club, which is a special club appointment. Bolt's just a member, isn't he? We can't be running character checks on our regular members, we'd have no-one left.

Usain tried his best for CCM.
A bit harsh.

Whilst Andrew Bolts a ******* idiot, he’s broken zero rules and revoking somebody’s membership because you disagree with his opinion as insane as it is, but he’s still entitled to hold is a dangerous precedent to set.

I think it's something we should consider. Cut down members significantly by only allowing those of highest character. We could then move all home games to PRO and whinge when we don't get finals played there.

whats a convicted racist ?

On 28 September 2011, Justice Mordecai Bromberg found Bolt to have contravened section 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act.[38][39]

Convicted racist Andrew Bolt has taken to his blog to state that, in his opinion, Cardinal George Pell is innocent of the five child sex offences of which he has been convicted

whats a convicted racist ?

It would be someone that a court found had breached the Racial Discrimination Act - as the Federal Court did with Bolt. (https://www.theaustralian.com.au/bu...e/news-story/3c920f44a5d5e4bf26fd3119588c3fb2).

 

[parmy2balmey]

bolt should replace robbo on 360

 

[RFCGloryJC]

Bolt can replace Whateley on Fox and SEN.

 

[Underarm]

Bolt doesn't have a position at Richmond, and hasn't been convicted of doing anything Illegal. If we allow Shazza to be a paying Member, then we have to allow Andrew Bolt.

It was his first post, must be a phantom account hilarious

He has been convicted of breaching the racial discrimination act, I don't think Shazza has .

That's enough for me to vote AB out...

 

[sportshow]

No

 

[biaseddustyfan]

just take him to a vet and have him put down instead, easier option and better for the country

 

[Cdog71]

So you want to marginalise him...cause he marginalised other people?
