| Mark Addinall |
Email: URL: http://www2.ozland.net.au/addinall AusPWW Code: - Ed-Entry: Mark comments: "Possibly something along the lines of; 'A self-proclaimed obnoxious prick, opiniated and somewhat bigoted, but has spent most of his life in the service of Australia...' would be nearer the truth than what is up at the moment. And no, I do not deny I will attack the man, _along_ with the argument."

| Joseph Askew
|
Email: jaskew@yoyo.cc.monash.edu.au | AusPWW Code: - Ed-Entry: Flames by personal attack. Can write well, sometimes, but, that's something that is like full moons (once, maybe twice, a month). Is a lot of fun when caught in a good mood. Example Quote: (To Michael Lucke) "On the contrary you have shut up about your pathetic little excuses for ideas and are just whining. Soon you will be on your way home to Mummie to complain about the big bad nasty bully who beat you up and I won't have to listen to your sad little masturbations any longer." (jaskew.831703710@yoyo.cc.monash.edu.au).
Scott Balson

Email: gwb@gwb.com.au | Web: http://www.gwb.com.au/gwb/ Ed-Entry: Scott is the self appointed Webmaster for Pauline Hanson's One Nation Party. Has written books about how the mainstream media is out to get him. (Really!) Scott posts tracts putting down Jews and then tells everyone he isn't a Nazi. Explodes into ad-hom when challenged, especially by women.
Quote: "Get back to the vibrator - I'm sure that you would get more satisfaction there!" -

I always fill in the senate voting form below the line...I'm yet to find an unbiased opinion columnist outside the Fin Rev."

He says the biggest issue today is "Equality in Australia for ALL", but he is believed to have a _deep_ suntan and tends to let this _colour_ his view of equality.
The Greased Cougar from the Planet Big Bollocks
|
E-Mail: altapeto@silas.cc.monash.edu.au | URL: AusPWW Code - Ed-Entry:Described by some as a "young fogey" for his right-wing leanings. His influences are Margaret Thatcher, PJ O'Rourke and Bruce Ruxton, two of whom he has met. Passionately defensive of the present Australian flag and constitution. Favours the Liberal Party but can't stand ambitious Brendan Nelson-type upstarts. Likes: "wogball", Hahn Ice blocks, Claudia Schiffer. Dislikes: Intellectual fads, women who have kids only to farm them out to child care, Brian Ross. 
Anthony Grigor-Scott
|
Email: Anthony.Grigor-Scott@f933.n711.z3.fidonet.org | AusPWW Code: - Awards: Winner of the aus.politics Net.Kook award 1995 Ed-Entry: Anthony originally posted from The Bible Believers BBS and was generally laughed at a bit.. mainly for his ultra-conservative views that equalled those of Fred Nile. It was the volume of his postings that made him such a name on the group. See also: SMH 090595.

| The Gunner
|
Email: hodgesm@ozemail.com.au | URL: http://www.ozemail.com.au/~hodgesm AusPWW Code: i7n3h3e5g3dMe ?-?-? Ed-Entry: He generally leans to the Right, however, I actually -like- The Gunner's postings.. He doesn't (often) resort to an attack of the person (he's usually got a good enough take on issues to respond properly) and has a keen sense of humour. One to read.
-
| Rod Hibberd
|
Email: rod.hibberd@mcc.com.au | AusPWW Code: 1.0 i5n7h5e9g7dRd liberal-mixed-devolved Ed-Entry: He writes regarding the Who's Who: "I'm not sure that part of the amusment of aus.pol isnt that we _dont_ quite know who we are talking with. That we are not nailed down in mind by any formal set of known attributes. A bit like having a mag over the billy without anyone having to answer for our past.
-
| Dave Horsfall
|
Email: dave@fgh.fgh.oz.au | AusPWW Code: - Ed-Entry: One of the first writers to aus.politics, and perhaps one of the people who pushed for its inclusion in Robert Elz's newgrouping spree when the Aus.* heirarchy was created. A Left-winger.
-
| Kym Horsell
|
Email: khorsell@ee.latrobe.edu.au | URL: http://www.ee.latrobe.edu.au/~khorsell AusPWW Code: - Ed-Entry: Kym writes up the OzNews files which are periodically posted to soc.culture.australian, which are an invaluable resource if you're overseas or unable to muster up the cash to afford a TV or newspapers in Oz. She complains that everyone assumes she's a guy, and compiles newsgroup statistics on anything and everything even vaguely plausible.
-
| John Iser
|
Email: jiser@u030.aone.net.au | URL: http://www.home.aone.net.au/jiser/ AusPWW Code: - Ed-Entry: Tends to promote a Libertarian, free market viewpoint. 
Brendan Jones
|
Email: brendan@mpce.mq.edu.au | URL: http://www.mpce.mq.edu.au/~brendan AusPWW Code: - Ed-Entry: One of the original Lefties on the newsgroup.. usually a good read, too. Example Quote: To Peter MacKay: "Hmm... I wonder how much of the population understood the full detail of all the Coalition's election promises? Does that stop them having a right to express an opinion? You're happy to claim the support of ignorant masses when it suits you, aren't you, Peter?" (4n66hr$i1v@sunb.ocs.mq.edu.au).
-
| Michael Lucke (aka Dragon)
|
Email: bati@ozemail.com.au | URL: http://www.ozemail.com.au/~bati AusPWW Code: - Ed-Entry: Mike's most notable postings seem to arrive after he's read a news story and sat down at the computer and ranted into a long posting. Sometimes it comes out as Right-wing, sometimes it's Left. He argues on the basis of "common-sense" and with lots of references to annecdotal evidence.
-
| Alan Luchetti
|
Email: luchetti@ozemail.com.au | AusPWW Code: - Ed-Entry: He's usually able to avoid Ad Hominem because he's cynical about -all- governments, no matter the flavour.
Chris Maltby
|
Email: chris@suite.sw.oz.au | URL: http://gw.softway.com.au/people/chris AusPWW Code: - Ed-Entry: He's probably the most seasoned out of all the left-wingers on aus.politics. He manages to refrain from acknowledging most of the personal flamage and get things back on track.
Peter Mackay
|
Email: petemac@dynamite.com.au | URL: http://www.netinfo.com.au/~petermac AusPWW Code: - Ed-Entry: Mackay is by far the most prolific poster to the newsgroup. He sometimes even posts something that's on topic but, this is a rarity ;-). Mackay is the guy that passed confidential Keating Govt floppy disks to Amanda Vanstone.
-
| Matt McLeod
|
Email: matt@hna.com.au | AusPWW Code: 1.0 i7n7h5e6g5Rd liberal-democratic-socialist Ed-Entry: A Lefty who posts on topic and argues to the point, and with examples. Example quote: "Company X, who (as noted above) has a pathological hatred of unions, says something to the effect of 'Do you want to sign now?' ('Not until the union checks it out'), 'Do you want to work here?' ('Yes') 'Choose'. That's the sort of thing that the ACTU guy was talking about [...]" (4ncgi6$iid@brushtail.hna.com.au).
David Moss
|
Email: dmoss@geocities.com | URL: http://plato.itsc.adfa.edu.au AusPWW Code: v1.0 i8n3h5e6g5dEd democratic-Liberal-libertarian Ed-Entry: A joy to debate with, and he keeps his Australian Politics site up-to-date and mostly unbiased.. unusual for a Liberal Party sympathiser ;-).
Photo removed | at Geoff's request Geoff Niland
|
Email: geoff@iws.com.au | URL: http://www.zeta.org.au/~gdniland AusPWW Code: - Ed-Entry: A Right-winger who Flames using Ad Hominem are his specialty. Can take a bit to goad him into explaining himself. Occasionally has some good points, though they're often lost in his alt.tasteless-style flame attempts.
-
| Bryan Palmer
|
Email: bpalmer@pcug.org.au | URL: http://www.pcug.org.au/~bpalmer AusPWW Code: - Ed-Entry: Will take the time to properly answer those 'lazy student' queries we get now and then or, without being smart about it, to elevate a thread which is labouring under a surfeit of patent ignorance. Has a good politics page.
Victor Perton
|
Email: victorp@vicnet.net.au | URL: http://www.vicnet.net.au/~victorp/vp.htm AusPWW Code: - Ed-Entry: An elected MP for the Liberals. Generally reviled as a man who used the general public's ignorance of what the Internet is to dump on one of his political opponents in real life in 1995.
Alan Peyton-Smith
|
Email: neutron@ozemail.com.au | AusPWW Code: - Awards: Winner of the aus.politics Net.Kook award 1996. Ed-Entry: A gun-nut who accused all and sundry of being liars and then began complaining about his treatment when people reacted. More abusive than most, quite a bit thicker, too. For a long time, he matched the postings of Peter Mackay -and- Geoff Niland and the newsgroup more than doubled its size.

Brian Ross
|
Email: brian@coombs.anu.edu.au | URL: http://mulder.waite.adelaide.edu.au/~bross AusPWW Code: 1.0 i7n7h7e6g7drd mild-left-liberal Ed-Entry: posting to aus.politics since 1987.

Industry experience includes Public Service, Dairy manufacture, Primary Industry and currently telecommunications. Dislikes the use of abbreviated codes to describe ones politics.
-
| Rob Silva
|
Email: rsilva@dove.net.au | AusPWW Code: - Ed-Entry: His long-running .sig is probably the most memorable on the newsgroup: "The sooner you fall behind, the more time you have to catch up." He's a Coalition supporter, but, he's able to critique both sides.
Rod Speed
|
Email: rspeed@dragnet.com.au | AusPWW Code: - Ed-Entry: On the far-right and has very little interest in debate. Specialises in simplistic statements which assume everyone's greedy and after welfare dollars; a very American viewpoint, IMHO.
Omri Swartz
|
Email: undocumented. | AusPWW Code: - Awards: Winner of the aus.politics Net.Kook award 1994. Ed-Entry: What separated him from the field was that he actually had some talent for debate. He was a Libertarian, of the strongest tenaciousness, who actually debated points! :-).
-
| Peter Wiley
|
Email: peter@prospect.anprod.csiro.au | AusPWW Code: - Ed-Entry: Was a polished performer with a political leaning somewhere towards the Centre. He's departed aus.politics because of the cyclical nature of arguments boring him to death, apparently.
Dai Wonderer
|
Email: dai@mailexcite.com | AusPWW Code: - Ed-Entry: Dai is a lurker on aus.politics. Rarely posts but takes a great interest in what goes down. Very interested in freedom of expression. He wrote this home page.
