Bolt Syndrome is a condition whereby sufferers delude themselves into believing that all the peoples of Australia should be just like them; same colour; same culture; same language; same political ideology – in other words they want a monoculturalist society where non-Western cultures, religions, heritage and identity are swept aside so that all Australians can be just like Bolt.
Other symptoms of Bolt Syndrome include an obsessive need to insult and vilify against whole groups of people that are different from Bolt. Sufferers also display signs of paranoia such as claiming that their right to insult and vilify are a denial of their right to ‘freedom of speech’. Sufferers also have an abnormal fear of the ‘other’ which usually presents as chronic Islamophobia and xenophobia.
The most recognisable symptom that sufferers present with and which invariably clinches the diagnosis of Bolt Syndrome is their denial that they are themselves in any way racist. Indeed, in many cases, sufferers of Bolt Syndrome not only deny they are racist but actually accuse those that expose their condition as being the ones that are racist.
Bolt Syndrome has been around since the year white Europeans first arrived in Australia. One would have thought, however, that we would have found a cure for it by now. A diverse multicultural Australia should unite to rid this nation of the destructive potential of the Bolt Syndrome.

Seemingly intellectual justification is just another sign of arrogant watering down of fundamental ethical and moral issues in Australian society. There is an undeniable fast accelerating momentum of exposure to these problems in Australia, which can connect and fuse a country together or destroy the moral and ethical fiber of the Australian population. The Australian deeply engrained habits of denial, ignore till it goes away, ridicule anyone who doesn’t think the same as us is going to blow up in our faces in a big way in the very near future. Anyone serious enough about a cohesive Australian society with a serious dose of integrity should be compelled to search the internet for the fast growing opposition towards Australia and Australians in general. The slogans or keywords like “I hate Australia”, “Fuck Australia”, “I hate fucking Australians” are more then unsettling to me. If anyone in our country thinks that we are best to ignore these slurs because we are above it all, then we should take a humble five minute in humility and think it over if there is maybe, just maybe something wrong with us or the way we are interacting with people from other cultural backgrounds. Australia is more and more exposed to the rest of the world thru globalization, media and internet. Australia has to become part of the globe and not some Nation that thinks that everyone else has to tow the line according to Australian ideas, the ideas of 20 Million people in the midst of a 7 Billion world population.
