Don't be ridiculous. A huge number of people want to *disagree* with
what she says, as loudly and as clearly as possible. Comparing her to
Hitler isn't gagging her, it's making a point that she can reply to if
she pleases.
Although I must say, listening to Hanson speak is almost as
excrutiating as listening to John Howard speak... but I'm sure her
right-wing puppetmasters will write something suitable.
To those who reject Hanson's scapegoating and simplistic answers:
Please turn up at 7pm outside the Challenge Stadium tonight (Saturday
3/5/97) and exercise your democratic right of reply to her
feeble-minded fascism.
Tim Richards.
