It was pointed out to me that this remark received a mention in The Australian: http://www.theaustralian.com.au/new...a-nazi-reference/story-fn72xczz-1226073253898
I was wondering if Richard Glover's '..forcibly tattoo the deniers..' (in the SMH) qualifies as 'hate media' in Bob Brown's definition?

After 25 years writing this column, I've had my first experience of an internet hate campaign. So far, more than 2400 people, nearly all American, have emailed me . . . The Americans believed I was seriously proposing they be tattooed against their will. Given what they thought I was saying, I guess their upset was understandable. And boy were they upset. TTB, from Nevada, said he had "a couple of 9mm hollowpoints with your name on them". Jonathan, of Sag Harbor, NY, wanted to remove my testicles, while DB wanted to remove my penis. And M. Glasgow, in an email sunnily titled "can't wait to meet you", observed that: "I will kill you so dead that your rotting body will do nothing but energise the worms and maggots that will do their part in saving the planet from morons like you." . . . JH, for example, suggests that since I like nature so much, I should donate my "otherwise worthless body to the study of marine science by serving as shark bait". Actually, that did make me laugh.
Finally, will the Governor General allow this county to be thrashed by socialist ideology? joea

Logique, I actually read it in "Strewth" in "The Weekend Australian" which is my favourite bit of the paper. Quite an honour to make it onto there imo. Good onya.Cheers Joe, some publicity for ASF, good on the SMH for publishing it.

As is so evident even on ASF, if you can't win with policy (and they can't) go ad hominem.
Thanks for that correction Julia, it was actually in the Weekend Australian, and not in the SMH that published the original article by R.Glover.Logique, I actually read it in "Strewth" in "The Weekend Australian" which is my favourite bit of the paper.

It is run by the Caucus Communications Team with an annual budget of over $600,000 and provides advice to more than 40 staffers known as Caucus Liaison Officers on ministers and MPs' staff, including in the PM's office.
But the unit warns Labor operatives to hide their surveillance activities by saving intelligence on private email accounts and mobile USB storage devices to avoid it being detected on Government computers.
It warns staff against keeping the "shadow folder" on the "shared drive" because ministerial computers were subject to Freedom of Information laws and could be uncovered by the Opposition. "Notebooks disencouraged", the document says

My guesses for tomorrow's anticipated fortnightly Newspoll:
Labor: 30%
Coalition:46%
Greens: 15%
Others: 9%
2PP:
Labor: 45%
Coalition: 55%
It's not too great for Tony Abbott either:
On the question of who would make the better PM:
Gillard - 47%
Abbott - 30%
Don't Know 23%
