Ray Hadley condemns John Howard and Tony Abbott for 'gross errors of judgment' on Pell

, in which he praised the Cardinal as "a person of both high intelligence and exemplary character".

"It's impossible to put ourselves in the position of the jury because they're the only ones who heard that evidence," Hadley said on air on Thursday morning.Alex Ellinghausen"There's no mention of any victims in Mr Howard's reference, and I think that doesn't bring any great credit to the former prime minister," Hadley said.

"He could have offered a reference about his knowledge of George Pell prior to the conviction ... but he hasn't done that. He's gone way beyond that. I think he's over-stepped the mark." "They hide their crimes. They con their victims. They con the victims' families. Paedophiles con their families, their friends and their colleagues," Hadley said."Mr Howard and Mr Abbott in my opinion have shown a complete lack of understanding of victims of paedophiles. Not just in the case we're talking about now, but generally."

michaelkoziol About bloody time Hadley

michaelkoziol The Honeymoon is over ?

michaelkoziol You know things are seriously f&ked when Ray Hadley is the one who is actually talking sense 😵😵😵😵

michaelkoziol What if and that's a big IF, George Pell and his legal team do manage to overturn the guilty verdict and all charges are quashed? Will the public and Mr Hadley change their views of Pell?

michaelkoziol I'll give props to anybody (no Matter how partisan they usually are) when they are in the right, and Ray Hadley is right.

michaelkoziol Ray Hadley speaks common sense?

michaelkoziol 'TOTALLY AGREE'!!!!!

michaelkoziol I feel sorry for Pell Johns record of supporting people has not been good look at the 2 by elections when he supported the Liberals GONE now Pell must be feeling a little like it will happen to him ,well yes Pell it will, your going down George.

michaelkoziol Mr Abbott’s comments were as you’d expect - Mr Howard’s comments displayed a total disregard for the victims and the judicial system - he really should learn to keep his stupid mouth shut 🤐

michaelkoziol Ray hat off to you. The character of these men is questionable. The victims seen Pells face

michaelkoziol Their judgements are based on their knowledge of the person’s character. The conviction is based on the uncorroborated evidence of one individual. We must ask whether a fair trial has taken place.

michaelkoziol Holy Mother of Mary it's on for young and old now.

michaelkoziol Hadley condems Howard and Abbott? Ah!... yea! only about 20 years too late!

michaelkoziol I think this and the first few weeks of Super League in 1995 are the only times I have agreed with Hadley!

michaelkoziol Gross error of judgement, as if they are good people who made a mistake. They didn't make a mistake, they have known for a long time what Pell has done, they did not care then, they don't care now.

michaelkoziol Kristeen Kennerly is aligned with Eddie Obede....gross error of judgement?

michaelkoziol How religion and the church can blind people, especially those close to the church. This is why we have separation of powers as the past has proven the church cannot be trusted. Religion becomes blind faith a situation that needs to be challenged constantly.

michaelkoziol I admire people who stand by friends even though it isn't in their best interests to do so.

michaelkoziol Cripes, something we agree on.

michaelkoziol Too shocking for Hadley should raise Howards eyebrows

michaelkoziol Just sounds like Hadley is distancing himself from the outrage shown to Bolt.... hard to believe these creeps.

michaelkoziol Well done Ray Hadley.

michaelkoziol Hmm. A clown making a comment about other clowns. Insightful stuff.

michaelkoziol What are they up to Hadley is told what to do he dosnt have a brain himself

michaelkoziol Yea Howard & Abbott need to go away now. We don't need these 2 amoral ppl involved in our govt or public life.

michaelkoziol Ray has gotten a bit excited again. He should wait and if the appeal fails then he can unleash.

michaelkoziol There is a grief process for us all. Our non-comprehension of:- -The victims -The cardinal officiating a Christian Catholic Church & the order. -The Catholic Christian Church goers Australia wide. -the ones that thought they knew/know him. -Then the rest of us. Phew!

michaelkoziol Finally, a shock jock not looking to shock! A common sense comment from Ray

michaelkoziol Three chumps.

michaelkoziol It was only last month that John Howard was touted as being a rock star and the secret weapon for GladysB and LiberalAus for the NSW State election.

michaelkoziol Even Jason Gillespie has a test match 200 to his name

michaelkoziol Thank you so much for reporting this SMH. I’m always interested in what Ray Hadley has to say. Great stuff. Wonderful. bencubby

michaelkoziol Breaking: High Octane Bloviator from his Liberal Party masters.

michaelkoziol And ray Hadley is always right

michaelkoziol And the shit fight starts

Tony Abbott haunted by praise for George PellAs Australia absorbs the horrendous news that its most prominent church leader, Cardinal George Pell, is a child sex abuser, former prime minister Tony Abbott must come to terms with the years he spent praising the man. TonyAbbottMHR Now both ScottMorrisonMP and TonyAbbottMHR consider a convicted paedophile as a great moral compass. TonyAbbottMHR If you want to crucify TonyAbbott for being loyal ...go for it, BUT if you are happy doing that then try to think that if you were charged with a crime, irrespective of being innocent/guilty, how many ppl do you know would still stand by your side & show his loyalty as he did Hani_Iskander TonyAbbottMHR Like Abbott would GAF about what he said. Since when did he ever show the ability to reflect and improve?

'None of these matters alter my opinion': John Howard's character reference for George PellJohn Howard was one of 10 people to provide a glowing reference for Pell, praising him as a person of 'high intelligence and exemplary character'.
