My automatic translation of the piece was that there was no attempt to provide any form of discussion or even well balanced nor logically infallible argument for the premise of the headline nor the entry blurb. It was not an unbiased view to determine the "best thing for Australia" nor was this covered under the general "without prejudice" clause of an opinion piece.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=gpfarmblog.wordpress.com&#038;blog=47382663&#038;post=213&#038;subd=gpfarmblog&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
