Perhaps letting the Law faculty know would be a good start. I would prefer that one of the lecturers draws him aside and have “words” about his stupidity and the possible consequences thereof. Don’t kick him out of the University of Queensland. Just give him a verbal bollocking that he remembers.

I’m aware I’ve got identifying information on my Facebook profile, and I’m willing to stand by everything I say on there; if I’m not, I probably don’t say it. I wonder if these guys have considered that?

Also, one of the guys in that group pulled out ye olde ‘Krudd’ epithet. Searchable profile -> what a surprise, it’s a law student from UWA. As a sometime maths student from a much less pretty part of that uni and a longer commute, I’d like to re-insert his western suburbs silver spoon somewhere else. Another one reckons the Gov Gen oughta sack the PM before our economy goes the way of Zimbabwe. Fools.

As for the original group, it’s now up to 49,000 members. Looks like Turnbull’s lost the ‘Generation Y’ vote…

Also notice that a random sample of the pro-package group shows 70% women. The anti groups – not just the child abuse one but a more restrained one, have the typical Liberal group membership of about 85% male.

is witchcraft involved, Huggy?

Jarrah: as I understand it, a “luvvie” is supposedly a person who doesn’t think clearly, and bases all their attitudes on a kind of “group hug”-must-be-in-with-the-cool-crowd stance. First time I heard it, the word was applied to a mob of theatrical enthusiasts, who would LOVE anything they deemed “artistic” regardless of quality [as judged by others]. I think Sgr Strocchi enjoys labelling any persons he deems to be “leftie” as “luvvies”. Apolgies for the vagueness, and I stand to be corrected, but the concept and terminology is probably at its heart nebulous, amorphous, and ineffectual. It can also, perhaps not accidentally, be associated with meandering and interminable prose, which [in this instance only] I will now – regretfully – draw to a close.

Related anecdote about Alan Greenspan: ” When he was being questioned by somebody in the Senate Committee, one of the questioners said, “oh so what you’re saying is……” and gave his interpretation of what had happened and Alan said something like, “Well if you think you’ve understood what I was saying, I obviously didn’t explain myself properly.” ” [BBC Radio 4 retrospective on Greenspan]
