Chris Mitchell,
Mr Murdoch et al
Gentlemen
The cartoon that was passed on 19/1 by the editor is a disgrace – A NAZI FAXIMILIE!!!
There are multiple questions:
  1. How could the cartoonist conjour such an obscenity?
  2. How could you guys pass it?
  3. How could you withdraw it and not deem it necessary to apologize?
Kindly apologize as my letter request: link above.

Having returned from holidays on Friday 18/1 we were shocked to find Nazi - type adornment to Graham Richardson's otherwise at best trite article Gillard's survival technique.
Your three excellent letter writers on Saturday 19/1 resulted in your removal of the grossly offensive Lobbecke cartoon.

To date you have not formally apologized for this terrible lapse: I guess Jews should be grateful that the Star Of David strangling PM Gillard was not yellow.

Nor was any other comparison appropriate with Leunig: it was worse!

I request an formal apology at the foot of my published letter - as well as in a prominent place in your paper.

I understand you have had a formal complaint from the Jewish community.
