[LINK] NBN article from the IPA

[Rachel Polanskis]

I spy from my rocking chair,
a mans lays astroturf everwhere
He was back again today,
I think he's from the IPA.

Is there any way to do something about this heinous organisation that exists only 
because a deal was done when Menzies reformed all the little lunar right wing front groups
into a single Liberal Party?
