Bolt is seen as one the nation's most influential and controversial political commentators. He is described as a conservative but rejects the label "right-wing".
Bolt was born in Adelaide, South Australia, to newly arrived Dutch migrants. He spent his childhood in remote rural areas, including Tarcoola, South Australia, while his father worked as a schoolteacher and principal. After completing secondary school, Bolt travelled and worked overseas before returning to Australia and starting an arts degree at the University of Adelaide. He left university to take up a cadetship at The Age, a Melbourne broadsheet newspaper. He worked for The Age in various roles, including working as a sports writer, prior to joining The Herald. His time as a reporter included a stint as the newspaper's Asia correspondent, based first in Hong Kong and later in Bangkok. He worked for the Hawke Government on two election campaigns.
Bolt has had various roles on numerous TV networks, radio stations and in the print media.
In 2005, Bolt released a compilation of newspaper columns in a book entitled Still Not Sorry: The Best of Andrew Bolt.
