Within hours of Brendan Nelson being named leader of the opposition, someone put a site up (nelsonfacts.com) attacking him. According to the Whois record for the domain, the site was registered on November 26th.

It’s not immediately clear who is behind the site but when one looks at the Whois record, it is apparent that they are using the ALP DNS server, dns1.alp.org.au.
Interestingly, the same person or group also registered costellofacts.com, bishopfacts.com, abbottfacts.com, turnbullfacts.com, and robbfacts.com (all named after prominent Liberal politicians who may have been contenders for the leadership) so obviously they were hedging their bets on who would assume leadership of the opposition today. They haven’t yet registered pynefacts.com (after Christopher Pyne) or andrewsfacts.com (after Kevin Andrews).

In nelson facts, they failed to mention the importance of his height (or lack thereof) as being the major driver of the other pathologies that he displays
T Cell,
Odd - no ruddfacts site to look at similar issues for him.
There’s actually no need for a search - the site is authorised by the ALP’s Tim Gartrell.
with rudd, its all ear-wax driven
Just stick to the wax please.
Amir,
Looks like ruddfacts.com has been registered, but not yet on line.
You didn’t get it did you?
Ruddfacts.com is owned by the ALP. It was registered in August. It was registered at the same time as Howardfacts.com.
Gillardfacts.com is free if anyone wants to grab it.
And so is alpfacts.com.
