	WAPC Conference - Reporting of Private Matters
		Miranda Devine, associate editor and columnist at The Daily Telegraph, introduced the topic with the contention that, "what I have found is that Australians have an unhealthy obsession with privacy...
		Ms Devine argued that Mr Ruddock missed the point when he told the media to leave the refugees alone, that "they are not circus animals to be dealt with and photographed, as a matter of perverted interest".
		Ms Devine noted that the villagers, observing the conference on television, "began hissing the reporters, angry for some reason that uncomfortable questions were being asked, angry at the bad manners of pushy reporters who seemed to be haranguing of officials".

		Miranda Devine today weighs in against those dastardly secularists and their campaign against Christmas lest someone is offended.
		Alas the Devine Miss M does not elaborate what this “degrading hooking-up sex” actually is. I say it is the same sex young adults at uni have been enjoying for a long time (Like 15 years ago when I was drinking beer while pretending to study for a B Ec).
		The Devine Miss M then moves onto the attacking the idea that sex was guilt ridden until the liberation of the masses by Kinsey.

		Regarding Miranda, I note that like so many global warming skeptics she also elides the skepticism that does exist toward human contributions to global warming with skepticism towards the measured phenomenon of global warming itself.

	Bulletin - Who is Miranda Devine? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Devine appeared out of nowhere, though better informed readers could have made the link to her father, the Catholic conservative journalist Frank Devine, who has variously edited The Australian, the New York Post, and the Chicago Sun-Times.
		Miranda Devine was a general reporter working her police contacts for The Daily Telegraph in the early ’90s when she was promoted to the paper’s opinion page by Col Allan, the then-editor.
		Miranda was born in New York though when exactly she won’t say (she’s in her early 40s).

		Miranda however misses the entire point of the summit, which is aimed at dealing with the major problem of alcohol abuse in our society.
		Exactly a year ago to the day Miranda wrote a beautiful column entitled "Gays write death notice for marriages", in which she attacked Democrat Senator Brian Greig for attempting to legislate to legalise same sex marriages.
		Devine] is that the push for same-sex marriage is not about strengthening or enhancing the institution of marriage, as Greig claims.

	Troppo Armadillo: Devining Literacy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Miranda's taste of literature seems to be a lot more limited, I don't know what expertise she would be able to provide.
		Miranda Devine's journalist persona (which I don't deny may well be obnoxious, I don't actually read anything she writes) probably falls into the category of deliberately provocative.
		Miranda would be torn to shreds - both by people who disagree with her and by those who agree with her but see her as making them look bad.

	Crikey Website - The great ABC radio experiment (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		According to Devine, the head of ABC Radio, Sue Howard, is perceived within the ABC as "anti-Sydney" and "anti-male" – and hiring Trioli is part of this stance.
		According to Miranda Devine, being a mother is an unqualified mark of good character, while being childless should invite suspicion.
		Devine's blind prejudice was displayed in her incredibly silly and completely off-the-mark tirade in yesterday's SMH against Virginia Trioli's appointment as Sally Loane's replacement at ABC 702 in Sydney.

		On March 9, 2003, Miranda Devine wrote an op-ed piece about drugs that appeared in a number of Australian newspapers under the title "It Pays To Be Tough on Drugs".
		Miranda Devine took offense to my letter and wrote me an e-mail, demanding a retraction, and asserting that the information she referenced came from my web site.
		Devine had studied the history of this issue, she would know that the US Government has had an official policy to lie about drugs and drug policy for several decades.

	Miranda Devine at AllExperts
		Miranda Devine is a columnist and writer for The Sydney Morning Herald, noted for her conservative stance on a range of social and political issues, and for her defense of Howard government policy.
		Devine returned to Sydney in 1989 and soon after joined The Daily Telegraph as a general reporter.
		Devine's name became so entrenched with her right-wing commentary that when she married and wanted to change her name, Allan objected.

		So Miranda Devine's “journalism” had come to this: it’s okay not to let the actual facts stand in the way of a good story if it highlights what you think is really going on and advances your political message.
		Miranda and the rest of the right-wing commentariat grouped around Quadrant magazine have got a lot of mileage out of the “former detective sergeant” and “former SAS soldier”but, as it turns out, he is neither.

		In case you did not read this characteristic piece of right-wing abuse by Miranda Divine in the SMH of 20 Feb, here it is with my comments.
		Miranda, you will be mentioning Gordon (or "Gordy") so often in your article that he must have been all over the place in the Peace Rally.
		And Miranda still cannot forgive these "bourgeios people" for being smart enough not to split the vote for the republic a few years back.

		Back in March this year, Miranda Devine wrote a column in which she quoted from a friend of hers who is a soldier in Iraq.
		Devine’s implication, to the extent that you can garner intent in this messy piece, is to use this information as some sort of vindication for the invasion, as some sort of cover for what she now calls ‘the mistakes and tragedy’ of Iraq.
		Consider: Miranda Devine not only wants to ignore the fact that this has not gone anything like the various claims that have been made since March 2003 said it would, or that what she says now contradicts what she said in March.

		According to Ms Devine, militant consumers and predatory lawyers are forcing virtuous obstetricians like 'Dr A' from their trade.
		Whilst this is a catchy introduction for an article, Ms Devine’s comments are a thoughtless and offensive insult to all lawyers, not least those who work hard to achieve justice for victims of medical negligence.
		The fact is people who have suffered injury as a result of medical negligence are entitled to, and seek, compensation to restore their life, so far as money can, to the position they were in before.

		Miranda Devine’s article “Don’t blame me, I am just the lawyer” (SMH, 4 March, 2004) makes the statement that “growing popularity of no-win, no-fee law has led to an increase in litigation with little down side for the losing plaintiff”.
		Miranda Devine’s assertion that no-win, no-fee arrangements have been a major driver of the liability crisis is just plain wrong.
		Miranda Devine must have enough money to pay for her own lawyers.

	philosophy.com: April 2003 Archives
		Miranda Devine's establishment cheerleading is fairly harmless when she's patrolling her local turf - bushfires, 4 wheel drives, women's apparel - but it simply isn't good enough when the subject is war ('Bush's tough stance is the steel in UN jelly', Sun-Herald, 29 September).
		Ms Devine's crack about 'men so politically seasoned' exhibiting 'a faith in the infallibility of the UN' was meant I suppose to infer a sort of oldster naivety but to jeer at this sentiment while herself exhibiting faith in the infallibility of the US speaks volumes for her own callowness and lack of perspective.
		Like her lapdog counterparts in the US media, Ms Devine can't resist a dig at his predecessor while praising Mr Bush's 'tremendous self-discipline: a non-drinker and runner with the physique of an elite athlete', as if these were qualifications for office.

		My views about the nature of the 'Club' were reinforced by Devine's failure to inform readers that she and her family are good friends with Blair.
		Of course, there is nothing improper in anyway here, except that for Devine to promote Blair without revealing their relations might be considered a conflict of interest.
		Miranda Devine and her father have, unfortunately, only helped strengthen my belief that I shall not have to change my assessment of our self-appointed rightwing elitists.

		It surely doesn't sound so from Devine's column, yet even Devine seems to think there is a case against euthanasia while recognising that Mrs Crick was probably in full command of her faculties when she decided to leave this world.
		Alas, the Devine Miranda, whom I usually have kind words for, seems to have gotten her logic mixed up in a recent piece on how to deal with drug users and drug dealers.
		Devine would argue that I'm missing the point because the very incidence of drug use itself is undesirable and we should be doing all we can to minimise drug use.

	The Sydney Morning Herald - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Sydney Morning Herald is recorded as being read by a stronger representation of the so-called, "AB demographic"", (which is thought to measure education, income and occupation) than its main competitor, the only other major daily newspaper in Sydney, the Murdoch-owned The Daily Telegraph.
		Although more journalistly responsible than The Daily Telegraph, several of the paper's leading journalists, particularly Miranda Devine and Gerard Henderson are well known for their so-called "conservative" (right-wing) views and in previous times the Herald was noted for its conservatism.
		Its circulation is smaller than the Telegraph; according to circulation data published in the first half of 2004, the Herald sells about 221,000 copies per day compared to around 409,000 copies of the Telegraph.

		His call for “restraint” amounts to an insistence on the cessation of all critical analysis of the operations of the Howard government, and is especially aimed at silencing any objective assessment of the essential political function of the “war on terror”.
		Devine’s reference to the detention of the “Dunera Boys” provides a chilling insight into the meaning of her historical comparison of the open-ended “war on terror” with the Second World War.
		Devine’s use of the term “national security” has nothing to do with any conception relating to the protection and safety of ordinary Australian citizens.
