The Australian Human Rights Commission has threatened legal action against a widely read but controversial US-based website over an article that encourages racial hatred against Aborigines.

Oh great, this publicity will probably cause someone who shouldn't to read the entry on Madeleine McCann and take out half of Western Europe in the resulting headsplosion.
