Recently that word has been co-opted in our politics and media here in Australia to mean "people who criticise us online, often a bit rudely". It's a really dire state of affairs. Hopefully this is just the death throes of a collapsing party in Government, there is an election in a few months and the party in charge is polling terribly (as they should be), and there's also a really strong independents movement to get more independent candidates who are pro-integrity and pro-climate action on the crossbench (which could make a massive improvement in our politics, because while the opposition is a lot better in a lot of ways than the currently ruling party, in some areas they do the same crap).
