I liked him too until he revealled his "dangerous idea" and disclosed the source of his mediocrity. He was quite good until he took the mask off, but then all true performers are.

The Bolt Report you mean the only RW Conservative show on tv? That one...?
There definitely was a Lefty on it I saw her... you seem to have a very faulty memory stratos as well as being very selective about what you choose to believe.

what makes Ray Martin a lefty?

Funny, I didn't mention him as a lefty, why did you assume I meant him?

You said there were two righties .... If you don't think Martin is a leftie, I hope you don't think either Pyne or Judith Sloan are Grin

I don't watch it for obvious reasons - mainly in that we don't get the ABC in England - but I would say that in all the time I watched it I thought Tony Jones gave out just as much to the ALP and Greens as he did the Liberals.

Were the audiences stacked?
Not sure they are to be fair.

But Tony Jones for me, I would rate up alongside David Dimbleby (who hosts the BBC's Q&A and is equally as unforgiving of both sides) as the best panel controllers around.

For once, Andrei makes sense!

I doubt it'll become a habit, but you never know....

Well said, anyway.

You'll find I make sense all of the time.

It's a shame you werent with me on saturday evening Mr Freedman, I was in the Springbok pub in London watching Aus v England rugby union.

I am sure in your honour we would have switched to English from Afrikaans to keep you involved.

You could have given the pub an insight in how Boers are such horrible people without care for anyone else?
I am sure it would have been well received.

I find you make sense only rarely. No-one does it all the time, including me.

Hope you enjoyed the game, a good effort by a young England team.

But just remember, the mighty All Blacks are waiting and plotting revenge..... Wink

I find it to be pretty-much as you do, Andrei.

These idiotic claims of bias by some of the geese on here are just that - idiotic.

What a surprise. Taxpayer dollars at work - one conservative on the panel constantly being disrespected, interrupted and hounded down, and another 90% left-wing crowd.

If Abbott refuses to participate on Q&A despite being invited numerous times, are you surprised? If you want balance on insiders, get Abbott to participate two or three times a year. Oh wait, can't do that - it would expose him to unscripted questions that he can't answer without saying "um" a lot.

Besides, you probably didn't see next week's Q&A panel - five prominent businesspeople. There's your balance.

And you obviously don't watch Insiders (where Bolt has appeared with disturbing frequency) or The Business (a right-leaning show due to the subject matter it covers).
