[edit] Fascism comment
"Curiously, the most obvious fascism around, Islamofascism, does not appear to have made an impression on Leunig nor do the suicide bombers who target the innocent. Maybe the cartoonist, like the Organisation of Islamic Countries which has for the past nine years refused to let the UN define terrorism, doesn't know a terrorist when he sees one."

[edit] Freedom of Speech
Any word on Akerman being arrested for assaulting protestors in Sydney around March 16th 2006? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 60.230.126.23 (talk • contribs) 07:53, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
- Nope. Wasnt it funny how he says he's sick of protestors who disrespect free speech.....moron
He was the one jostled and pushed to the ground when protesters tried to block people going in to hear Condi Rice's speech. Have a look here.
"moron" - was that your signature? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Elitism (talk • contribs) 05:05, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

- He was the one who claimed to be jostled, at least. In hindsight the claim appears to have been 'journalistic licence' by Mr Akerman to emphasise his view of the protestors. Despite his statements in the article (linked above), no charges were laid and there was no video evidence to back the claim. There is certainly no evidence that Mr Akerman jostled anyone either.

[edit] Cocaine
The article makes it seem that the cocaine allegations are just comments by Mark Latham behind parliamentry privelidge, and have not been stated without such, yet the Crikey article linked at the bottom makes allegations about drugs - presumably they are not protected by parliamenty privelidge. - Matthew238 01:05, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
Fair reporting of Parliamentary proceedings would not be defamatory, original Parliamentary privilege or none. That's the law, my beautiful friend.
- True - Crikey is just reprinting a parliamentry speech - but not one of Mark Latham's.
