Besides which..isn't the guy entitlted to his opinion ?

He may well be gravely wrong (which he is...) and completely idiotic
(probably...) but he's surely entitled to express it.

I think I read somewhere that right-of-reply has been granted and

I mean life without <ASBESTOS UNDIES> Pauline Hanson</ASBESTOS UNDIES>
