Columnist and broadcaster Andrew Bolt has secured an exclusive interview with Cardinal George Pell at the conclusion of his evidence to the Royal Commission into child abuse.channel.
Bolt has secured a one-hour interview with the Cardinal to be broadcast live-to-air to Australia on Thursday morning, directly after his final day giving evidence to the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse.
The Catholic Church is understood to have agreed to the interview with Bolt, who has defended the Cardinal in his writings, even deriding his own paper, the Herald Sun’s exclusive reporting of Victoria Police investigations into the Cardinal.
But Bolt turned after the second day of evidence from Rome, when the Cardinal denied having knowledge of the activities of notorious paedophile priest Father Gerard Ridsdale and dismissing it as a “sad story” that “wasn’t of much interest to me”.
Bolt told Sky News those words alone were “disastrous” and “terrible”.

Sky News would not confirm whether the interview will take place but confirmed it had flown Bolt to Rome for the week to cover the hearings with the intention of securing an interview when Cardinal Pell has completed his testimony. The interview will also be broadcast across the Macquarie Radio Network, including 2GB and 3AW, for which Bolt is also a contributor.
