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.
