President of advocacy group the Blue Knot Foundation Cathy Kezelman said Mr Bolt and Mr Henderson were"minimising" the crime.
"[Mr Bolt and Mr Henderson] are completely irresponsible, they are uninformed and their ignorance is destructive to the social fabric of the country."She pointed out how the Royal Commission into Institutional Child Sexual Abuse"showed there was a culture of minimisation, denial, cover up and a lack of understanding about grooming and how insidious it is".
Responding to Mr Henderson's comment, Father Rod Bower of Gosford Anglican Church said the outrage about St Kevin's College was not"anti-Christian", but"anti-child sex abuse". "It minimises the harm that was done … It seeks to invalidate the experience of harm. And that's a devastating thing to a survivor of child sex abuse."
Best man on TV. Brave god bless him
Just shocking!
Why are we listening to these two losers.!🤪🤪🤪
Bolt new to make some money by appealing to the silent voters.
MSMWatchdog2013 well past time that ACMA called AndrewBolt to account. Child safety is everyone’s responsibility. Publicly trivialising the crime of (sexual) grooming of a child is inexcusable. GerardHenderson also should know better.
Bolt is way overdue for the back paddock.
AdamBandt After 61 years, I still haven't forgotten about the grooming and subsequent 'secret' - read 'rape'. The perp is dead, but I am his daughter's god-mother. Groomers and their supporters need to be goaled- for a very long time; no exceptions..
Only a fortnight ago a HR staffer at Sky News was complaining to her friends about how the millennials at her workplace were too sensitive when it came to 'harmless' office banter and 'flirting' and needed toughening up. Imagine working at the cesspit.
Sounds like Pell all over again.
Why is this man even allowed on air with a mic, he should be banished for ever from our screens. The sick Bastard.
I don't think Bolt has every shown the moral compass expected of public figures. What part of grooming a kid for sex doesn't he find immoral and criminal?
Bolt is a freak.
Perhaps GH could have a chat to the buggers in the catholic church that support Duterte in the Phillipines. He's murdering people with the support of the catholic church in Aus & there. Says it's druggies but is human rights activists unionists opposition parties evangelicals.
APatriotAussie If those ppl making that claim actually watched the segment they would be forced to admit that he DID NOT defend that scum Kehoe in ANY way. Fake news!!!
JoeKanoAus *normal decent humans have condemned their comments...what a pair of arseholes.
adamajacoby If it is criminal to incite racism, surely it must also be criminal to incite paedophiles?
Looks like those two sleazy old men have finally exposed themselves. Not a pretty sight. stopfundingprivateschools
unionsnsw Time for these old fossils to go. They have no relevance and are so out of touch with society.
Both total attention seekers.
Maybe Bettina Arndt will soon be interviewed by Nolt on this subject too!!
AdamBandt These 2 have been apologists for paedophiles since the release of the royal comm. They need to stop defending the rapists in the catholic church & show some decency & empathy
Awwww you dirty old boys.
Bolt is always defending child sex predators......why is that?
Appearing to defend? Bolt has form.
I am speechless. When will this vacuous piece of filth be removed from all media. Look away and turn off now. Better still email those companies who advertise during the program. This is not OK!!
He knows what he’s doing. He just needs the publicity.
He was convicted of child grooming and registered as a sex offender. There’s Nothing I hate worse than media outlets that “sensationalise” (lie) stories for more clicks.
Sky news should be shut down. Disgraceful as always. One look at who sits on their panels is enough for me to never watch it
devalara44 Ummm, didn’t appear to defend - DID DEFEND. Call it as it is
AdamBandt This is unacceptable in our Australian culture. Can we send Bolt from where he is coming from?
So “ irresponsible ” what we are now calling “ pedophile and pederast advocacy ” ? High-Profile Men Can't Seem to Stop Defending the Sexual Abuse of Children
Andrew Bolt defending a pedo is not news.
Seriously has Henderson done a poo?
With a teack record of abuse and coverups over decades in these schools Bolt should have left this one well alone Irrelevant of alleged severity of the the offense, once that line is crossed there is no defending such a persons character, it is forever tarnished Poor form Bolt
A disgusting ‘example’ of journalism. Should not be allowed on air for advocating this apologist shite. Think of each and every victim, and the risk of them reliving guilt and trauma. To think this is even allowed in Australian media. For Crying Shame. You absolute pricks!
It wasn't just Bolt.
leftists always attack conservative commentator, just stop wasting your breath.
“Hit on, but no sex.” Bolt is the dumbest person on Australian television.
Qldaah He defends pedophiles all the time..bolt is suss?
Bolt_RSS as some one who was just 'hit on' by a teacher, my skin still crawls at the thought 3 decades later. It is a complete abuse of the trust placed in teachers and you should be ashamed that you try to justify these actions. You are part of the problem.
About bloody time! Why are Bolt & Henderson protecting pedophiles? Are they pedophiles? This has got to stop!
And blocks stunningandbrave 😂 this guy thinks someone who dislikes paedophile supporters has a “narcissistic sense of moral superiority” this is very , very creepy. auspol
You don't play politics when comes to safety of kids, especially when paedophilia is involved. Taking the side should be very clear for any decent person, but some just lost that sense of decency. Shame on them. Bolt Henderson
Easy & ready bile & venom of perennial & pervasive twin curse of Boganville, misogyny & racism spewed by proud bogans of SkyNewsAust –contrasted that with skynews-UK, which would be 'left' in Boganville; must only be due to chronic indigestion of bogans in being in looted land.
If Andrew Bolt & Gerard Henderson are remembered at all, it will forever be as defenders of child sexual abuse. auspol stkevinscollege 4Corners
He just does it for the response...we keep him relevant, horrible man but we feed him
revardin The only people sympathetic to a child abuser surely has to be someone like minded?
AdamBandt It would be a great outcome if the comments by Bolt and Henderson put an end to their careers. It’s time to put them and their ilk out to pasture. Their commentary borders criminal. There is no excuse ... be gone. theboltreport
They should both be off the air. Irrelevant and irresponsible SwitchoffAndrew
AdamBandt Westpac NaturesOwnLtd both are advertising product during this program.
revardin “appearing to ...” Are you seriously going to weasel word?
This man should be yanked off air permanently SkyNewsAust you owe us honesty and integrity and this man has neither
AdamBandt Appearing what rot have you watched it?
Bolt should called the Daddy of Daddies
as they should.
He did not defend him, don’t be disgusting and slanderous
Going after your ideological enemy there SBS, poor form.
Any excuse to 'slam' Andrew Bolt. auspol
