Today’s Rebecca Urban special asks punters to faint over an inclusive language guide released by the Victorian government in August (and splashed as a front-page “exclusive” in the national broadsheet today) all because it suggests that maybe calling people fag or dyke is not a good idea.

(In true Daily Mail style, this was republished within two hours as a “new” guide.)

Given the well seems somewhat dry on Safe Schools outrage now, the Oz appears to have turned its attention to any guides prepared for government about how to maybe ensure LGBTI people aren’t treated poorly — like, shock horror, asking people not to assume that they’re straight.

To save time, we’ve tried to figure out what the Oz‘s LGBTI outrage editor in chief might come up with next. We did a quick Google search this morning, and believe that this guide on inclusive language prepared for Defence might be the next front-page exclusive. How dare the army be told what to call people! Or perhaps this Tasmanian Education Department inclusive language guide that also suggests not calling people fag, dyke or poofta. Won’t somebody please think of the children?! Or another similar guide by Palliative Care Victoria. Howard’s battlers are under attack! So many possibilities.

We’ve also come up with some headlines The Australian might like to use over the coming weeks for their next set of articles:
