Dear MM,

I am not in a position to remove any sentences from any submission received by the Department. If you would like your submission published could you please remove the profanity (submission attached for your convenience) and re-send your submission for publishing on the web.

The sentence containing the offensive word is page 1, paragraph 2 - beginning with 'Then you have to face up to the usual crew of workmates - ugly as a hatful of (profanity)...'.

Thank you,

Some Poor Chick, Department of Climate Change

Dear Some Poor Chick

You have my full permission to remove any sentences containing profanity. Please let me know if this submission is to be published, by Monday 27 October. If there is no agreement to publish by this time, I will be approaching the Ombudsman for adjudication.
