Raphael Lee Cass, Byron Bay

It’s not often I get a laugh out of a newspaper’s editorial, but Hans Lovejoy’s tongue-firmly-in-cheek paragraphs on June 12 did just that. It underlined the missive of Orwell’s 1984, Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451, and China’s government’s statement that no-one died at Tiananmen Square.

ScoMo’s glib comment on TV that the Australian Federal Police raid was ‘nothing to do with the government,’ made me feel sick.

If this letter compromises Echonetdaily’s freedom of speech, let me know and I’ll withdraw this letter and publish it – with video evidence – on social media.
