ANDREW BOLT AUSTRALIA’S COMMUNITY COACH
Andrew Bolt ever the optimist:
” I don’t believe Australia has been greatly enriched on the whole by immigration from Lebanon, despite many obvious success stories:”
‘Hanging with an Islamic Dipper’ is a must read by Andrew Bolt not that anything could change his bigotry. Read Martin Flanagan Saturday Reflection in The Age 26/7/14 if you feel the need to shake off the continuous misery that is known as Boltism which is akin to botulism in the press.
Ali Faraj and his mates are true blue Lebanese Australians as is his whole community of friends.
After Cronulla Ali and his mate Wozza not only played for but turned Damo’s North Shore AFL Club Thursday pie night into a Lebanese feast of hummous,tabouli and kebabs.
Currently Ali and Emad work for the GWS Giants and belong to the half-Israeli, half- Palestinian AFL Peace Team. Ali coaches the NSW intellectually disabled team in the AFL Participation Cup.
What does Andrew Bolt 2nd generation Dutch migrant do? He highlights alleged often uninvestigated factless stories to bolster hate.
Ali and Emad picked Flanagan up on a Friday and took the Irish Australian for arvo prayers at their local mosque. What a surprise a non political English sermon in Bolt’s den of terrorism. It was Ramadan like Catholic Lent a time of fasting. However they took Flanagan to a cafe and got him a burger to tide him over till sunset after all the infidel was entitled to a last meal.
Then at sunset a long table, a hilarious group, story telling and all round laughter accompanied an evening meal in an area and suburb which had burst into life Lakemba was rocking.
Much to Bolt’s disappointment Flanagan didn’t encounter any hostility. Everybody agreed Mr Andrew Bolt, ” Muslim Christian or Jew it’s whether or not your a person of goodwill. Furthermore you don’t know a person until you’ve travelled with them.”
Andrew Bolt crowed to a journalist how the Dutch have a responsibility to hospitality as they sat alone to the lunch he’d prepared. One things for certain you will never find Andrew Bolt on the streets of Lakemba, Coburg or even setting astride a long table seat sharing joy and laughter with any large group he doesn’t know. He sits at home dictating how life should be writing at the expense of the Australian Lebanese and Afghan communities
.
For Bolt’s edification.
Data collected by the Australian Bureau of Statistics shows that Lebanese make up the fifth largest ethnic group in Australian prisons after Australians, New Zealanders, Vietnamese and British and Irish, with 226 Lebanese prisoners last year accounting for 0.75 per cent of all detainees held for serious crimes. That Andrew Bolt is less than 1
Per head of population, Lebanese-born people had the seventh highest rate of imprisonment (after Samoans, Tongans, Sudanese, Vietnamese, Romanians and Indonesians).
Sinclair Davidson is a professor in the School of Economics, Finance and Marketing and a senior fellow at the Institute of Public Affairs. “Right now, however, I haven’t seen any evidence to support the argument that migration, or the refugee intake, be reduced due to an enhanced criminality of new-comers.”
There is nothing in the statistics to support Bolt’s fanatical and continuous condemnation other than his illogical anecdotes which tend to be if true exceptions that prove the rule in favour of multiculturalism and not disprove it.
