atw: newspeak

Good site, thanks Chris.

Here are some sites with an Australian perspective on
what Julian Burnside (curse you Stuart! It took me
ages to work out I was searching the wrong family
name.) calls doublespeak and Don Watson calls weasel
words.

I particularly like Julian Burnside's term 'language
in extreme situations' the acronym for which aptly
describes what it really is.
