SMH article
[edit]I didn't get a chance to reply before the AfD closed, and don't care too much since it wouldn't have changed the outcome of the AfD, but would like to point out that the SMH article isn't an unacceptable self published source.
Quoting that very policy,
""Blogs" in this context refers to personal and group blogs. Some news outlets host interactive columns they call blogs, and these may be acceptable as sources so long as the writers are professional journalists or are professionals in the field on which they write and the blog is subject to the news outlet's full editorial control.".
The Sydney Morning Herald is a reputable publication and their blogs are under their full editorial control, so they do not fall under WP:SPS, and can be reliable sources. Kevin Gorman (talk) 00:38, 25 October 2012 (UTC)
