Some Want House Arrest

It takes a crazy-brave or the truly dense advocate to say the quiet bit out loud.

When they do, it's usually a mistake and how that error it is treated by the press usually depends on the politics of the person involved .

When child-like Greens Party Senator Sarah Hanson-Young claimed the television series Sea Patrol was actually a 'documentary' the ridicule she deserved was mostly muted - because she is a lefty.

So too when she misspent public money and was ever so slow in paying it back.

There are many in they same boat, treated with kid gloves by the biased media.
