Blogged it here:

The guy in the audience with a Breughel-looking beanie, who began by saying: “I’ve studied astrophysics…
(Me: Oh, that sounds impressive, maybe he’s just a scruffy but brilliant undergraduate)
“and classical music”…
(Me: Oh dear, that sounds irrelevant, probably a crank after all)
“…with Lyndon La Rouche!”)
(Me: “…”

Although I think it’s pretty much a bee’s dick between some LaRouchies and some of the nuttier Libs/Nats (and some on the Labor right I might add.)

The LaRouchies claimed no fewer than 15 out of 80 audience members:

It was at this live debate in the studio of ABC Sydney and broadcast on Australian national television that we intervened. Three organizers were kicked out on sight for “suspicion of being potentially disruptive,” while 15 activists, LYM and chapter members, made it in safely. Two of questions centered on the relationship between Nazi race science, eugenics, and environmentalism. One ALYM member, wearing a t-shirt that said “Anthropogenic Global Warming is a bigger fraud than your girlfriend’s orgasm!”, asked about statistical vs. dynamic analysis concerning the method in which the “warmers” gather their data. For the last question of the broadcast an organizer sharply asked if the panelists were for or against human populations. A more detailed report, including the reactions of the panelists to the questions, is forthcoming.

Not enough extreme-right nutbags for Eric, obviously.

(Edited to remove Eric Abetz’s name to make it female, which is supposed to be a putdown. Although you’re welcome here, Weez, this is a feminist blog and that isn’t OK here. Ed)
