    Garret would have been subject to section 19 of the Criminal Justice Act 1985 which prohibited publication of the offence and subsequent ruling. this has since been repealed. There is more to it than that but my dinner is ready.

    Yes, the media is just not interested in informing the people. If I knew nothing of this "Attack on Democracy" the TV News would have made me no wiser, all they were interested in was three strikes Garret.
    As Simon said "The media seek fights, not truth." they see only sensational scandal. Like John Stewart said "Ooh look, a squirrel"

    Oh, which life?
    Callous disregard is the term for that sort of behaviour but then that is a qualification needed to be a member of ACT

    Well Graeme, so we shouldn't hold our breath waiting for the cops to show up to burglary or whatnot, they have got their work cut out going after all the bloggers and media organisations then?.

    Indeed Gio, how do you break someone's jaw from behind and what could you possibly do to wind up a psychiatrist to the point of violence?. I suspect the psychiatrist was the one being smart, something I wouldn't accuse Garret of being.

    Ok Craig, two can play at that...

    I got nothin'.

    And plenty more where that came from...

    I got plenty o'nothin' and nothin's plenty for me

    I got no car, got no mule, I got no misery

    Folks with plenty of plenty, they got a lock on the door

    Afraid somebody's gonna rob 'em while they're out a'makin' more

    What for?

    I got no lock on the door, that's no way to be

    They can steal the rug from the floor, that's OK with me

    'cause the things that I prize, like the stars in the skies, are all free

    Say, I got plenty o'nothin' and nothin's plenty for me

    I got my gal, got my song, got heaven the whole day long

    Got my gal

    Got my love

    Got my song

    <lengthy instrumental>

    I got plenty o'nothin' and nothin's plenty for me

    I got my gal, got my song, I got heaven the whole day long

    Got my gal

    Got my love

    Got my song

    *I'm assuming I can report this to you as it's been aired by him in the House.

    So if an MP names a person protected by a suppression order, in the house under parliamentary privilege, then the media can report that? I am not so sure.

    *edit, note to self. Reload page before posting.

  • Busytown: The art of seismography,

    A biography is a picture or image of a person using words it is not a discussion or analysis. Similarly Historiography is a factual representation of a body of work pertaining to a historical topic and as such can be regarded as an image.
    As for...

    'seismology' is taken by, um, seismologists.

    Indeed, although I am not quite clear as to your use of the term "taken" unless you mean as taken as a subject or study and if so, then I agree, seismologists do seismology by the means of seismography using such tools as a seismograph.
    I could argue about this until the cows come home and that is about twenty minutes from now, so keep it brief.
