Bolt, who is employed by News Ltd, publisher of The Australian, is currently a regular panellist on the ABC’s Insiders political panel show, which also airs on Sunday mornings.



He reportedly told host Barrie Cassidy he might have to withdraw from Insiders if a project he is working on comes to fruition.

A Ten spokeswoman wouldn’t confirm or deny the rumours today, merely saying the network was impressed with the right-wing commentator, who has spent the past week in the Federal Court defending allegations of racial discrimination levelled by nine fair-skinned Aborigines.

‘‘We’ve enjoyed working with Andrew Bolt on a number of network programs,’’ said a spokeswoman for the network.

‘‘We think he’s a great talent and we’re always looking at further opportunities for the people we work with.’’



Bolt celebrated 10 years as a panellist on Insiders on Sunday morning with a testy exchange with fellow regular Lenore Taylor, national affairs correspondent for the Sydney Morning Herald, which fuelled rumours he will leave the show.
