Appallingly, that fine and prominent Australian journalist Andrew Bolt is being prosecuted in an Australian court for racial discrimination. Nine people are suing Bolt and the Herald-Sun over Bolt’s suggestion that some people choose to assert Aboriginal ancestry in order to advance their careers. Prosecuted for racial discrimination. Over saying that. Just think about that for a moment. Mark Steyn, who himself went through a similar experience in Canada, delivered this priceless presentation in support of Bolt at an event the other day. The event was attended by nearly 600 people deeply concerned — as well they might be — by this most sinister threat to western freedom. Truly the light is going out in the west. www.melaniephillips.com Mark Steyn’s specially recorded video message for the Institute of Public Affairs’ Free Speech event, with guest of honour Andrew Bolt.
