Independent Australia

Noting this edit - I wonder if it might be time to add Independent Australia to the explicitly banned list. I haven't thought them to be a remotely reliable source for a long time, but after an incident this week with them spreading objectively fake news about Jacqui Lambie (in the same column and by the same author you just removed) I feel like the encyclopedia would be better if it was comprehensively purged.

Their journalistic standards are lamentable. Every now and then someone will google for sources and come up with an IA article. It is almost certainly something thoroughly biased, lifted without permission from another source, or complete nonsense. The sort of fringe publication that caters for diehard conspiracy theorists, making money from eyeballs, and pushing sensational tripe. They are on the left and the right, but this one caught my attention years ago.
Is there a process to go through? --Pete (talk) 02:37, 16 February 2020 (UTC)
