The really funny part will be when the AFP spokesman who referred it to the Fedral Police, gets a polite reply "Tough titties mate, its legal and unless Peter Beattie is a tradmark world-wide, you got nuthin"
I see news in two categories
1. Sometimes its NEWS and informative (60mins at times or lateline)
2. Sometimes its just shouting, no substance just taking the high moral ground (See A Current Affair for details or worse Today Tonight)

well to be fair it said registering and redirecting (It used the word hacking a lot).
And I also wonder how much difference it would have made to popularity *before* they published the article (conspiracy theory? ;)
Anyway, sorry to cause a stir but I thought (what I consider to be) the genuine 'hacking' community (those expert and trying to get more from ColdFusion, for example) might be interested in what it takes to be called a hacker in this day and age ;)
Have a great day hacking people!

James,
I read that article, but it did not say registering a domain name was hacking. What it said was that redirecting people from his site to the National parties. Although not technically hacking, just makes the National website more popular than it would have been.
