A trans-tasman apology

For those who haven’t followed it, Australian conservative commentator Andrew Bolt blogged how he met me at the NZBR retreat. I then returned the favour.

In my comments George Darroch posted a long list of awful things Andrew has said, saying his views “border on insanity”.

The only problem, as Andrew pointed out back on both my blog and on his blog is that not a single one of the 16 comments Darroch attributed to Andrew, were made by Andrew. They were simply comments by others on his blog. Most people can tell the difference between a comment and a post.

Anyway after the publicity of being called to account on Australia’s most widely read blog, George has apologised to Andrew. Oh and then made it a Claytons apology by demanding Andrew state his opinion on the 16 statements he falsely ascribed to him. Darroch has now also blogged on the issue.

Who needs underarm bowling for a good Trans-Tasman clash 🙂
