Dust, a question or two mate: what's with all your references to "tea partiers" and tea party this and tea party that?
I looked up the phrase and this is what I found out, apparently it derives from the "Boston Tea Party" in Masachusetts USA.

The Tea Party movement is an American political movement that advocates strict adherence to the United States Constitution, reducing U.S. government spending and taxes, and reduction of the U.S. national debt and federal budget deficit. The movement is generally considered to be partly conservative, partly libertarian, and partly populist. The movement has sponsored protests and supported political candidates since 2009.

The theme of the Boston Tea Party, an iconic event in American history, has long been used by anti-tax protesters. It was part of Tax Day protests held throughout the 1990s and earlier. By 2001, a custom had developed among some conservative activists of mailing tea bags to legislators and other officials as an act of symbolism.

I've got to admit Dust I just don't see a link between these horrible aussie tea partiers you berate on HC, whoever they are, and the overseas partiers whose strict adherence to the US Constitution and the symbolic custom of mailing teabags to officials is confusing to say the least.
While I don't know when that Boston Party was[200yrs ago?] I sure didn't think they invented teabags that long ago but since you seem to know heaps about this symbolic custom and its effect on anti-tax protestors maybe you could explain for me some of the background stuff about "tea party" traditions and more importantly what the heck it has to do with the Australian Constitution, radio shock jocks and "defamation in politics" and how this "tea partier" term relates to all these HC posters you seem to dislike so much; so much that you use that term it appears to me as an extremely derogatory insult?

Is your adding the "ier" to party an attempt to denigrate these tea party aussies you know of and as such is it akin to the habit of the climate change alarmists' of labelling, as terrible holocaust deniers, those who do not believe all that the alarmists preach?
Dust if I have misread your use of the term "tea partier" as an insult please accept my apology.
