If politicians spent as much time executing meaningful policy as they do those exercising their right to free speech and public opinion, we'd have it made.

Perhaps this is why our country is in the state it's in, because rather than run the country, some politicians are too busy bogged-down trying to control public opinion.

Since when did Bob Brown become Gillards PR consultant?

What has Andrew Bolt said or thought that most Australians haven't already said and thought already?

I think Bob Brown has a hold of himself, this and should resign with some shred of dignity himself, and so do many others re-his blatant hypocrisy over this and the preference deals he made with Labor he vehemently condemned before and during the election.

Or does it only count if a hypocrite like Bob Brown calls for someone's resignation?

Andrew Bolt is well within his rights to express his own views , opinions on his own blog.

Cool

There is no need for Bolt to do anything.

His call for Gillard to resign is valid.

You look at this terrible tragedy which fills us all with sadness and you see how preventable it was.

Poor and weak policy have caused more and more boats of desperate people to come to Christmas Island.
They must be stopped before there is such another tragedy.

Come now Andrei. You don't have to disguise your contempt for these people now that they happened to have been involved in a tragedy.

The greens primary vote dropped.

Partly because they failed to live up to their own party's core-ethics post the 2010 federal election.

Bob Brown bats for Wikileaks Julian Assange, (as I do too), though opposes public opinion in other areas, ie, Andrew Bolt?

Plus, most impoverished students don't approve of compulsory student union fees ...a little under-handed deal Greens senator Sarah Hansen-Young and Labors Simon Crean made under the bench just before the election to help secure preference votes.

I doubt Greens student base vote would have been overly impressed with this.

It's public opinion, and he's entitled to it.

If you don't like it, then don't read Bolts blog.

Last I checked, reading his blog wasn't compulsory.

It's all very infantile, and irrelevant in the whole scheme of things....Bob Browns brown-nosing this is.

Stupid comparison. Julian Assange doesn't write opinions (at least not in the context within which we're talking). He publishes fact.

Though I do agree with one thing, calling for Andrew Bolt to be censored or to resign is counterproductive and has no real positive outcome.

He preaches to the converted, and does it well. He doesn't serve to inform people, but reinforce already held views. Power to him (I guess).

Andrew Bolt is entitled to an opinion based on what he knows to be, believes to be fact.

It is afterall an opinion blog...No?

Bob Brown has called for the censorship and resignation of Andrew Bolt due to his views.

This coming from a poofter-loon who was tossed out of parliament for his own free-speech?
