Sorry. It&#x27;s just that a Google search would have taken him to this:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.m.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Children_Overboard_affair" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.m.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Children_Overboard_affair</a><p>Which was a release of wrong information that demonised refugees for supposedly throwing their children into the water to blackmail the Howard government into letting them into Australia. This was released by Peter Reith, but it was subsequently revealed it was nothing of the sort, but it helped create a moral panic that boosted the electoral prospects of the Howard government, who subsequently won. It wasn&#x27;t checked carefully by media organizations who ran the story - so it indeed got out of hand.<p>Which answered his question.
