    • 1983 April 23, Sue Hyde, “NAMBLA bashed at Marx Centenary”, in Gay Community News, page 2:
      A National Committee member of the Socialist Workers Party queer-bashed the North American Man/Boy Love Association (NAMBLA), according to the Sydney Gay Solidarity Group. In a burst of temper, the SWP National Committee member said that if he had his way he would line up members of NAMBLA and shoot the lot of them.
