Paedophile supporter Andrew Bolt may be in strife, I suspect. He's almost certainly guilty of contempt of court.

Without reading the judgement, Bolt referred to mob justice and said “I have to congratulate Justice Mark Weinberg for being that judge who did stand against all that, did look at the evidence and say no he couldn’t believe that George Pell could be convicted on reasonable grounds”.

The clear imputation is that Chief Justice Anne Ferguson and Justice Chris Maxwell did not deliver a sound verdict, did not look at the evidence and acted as part of a vigilante mob.

Under Victorian law, Bolt is probably guilty of contempt by "scandalising the court". This targets conduct that may undermine public confidence in the courts or which threatens a court’s authority. This could include statements alleging judicial bias or impropriety on the part of judges.
