Quotes on Google News

Google has introduced a search for quotes on its news service.

Apparently it’s been a Labs feature for a year, but today was the first time I had seen it linked with Google News Australia.

Since Pauline Hanson is the lady of the moment, I entered her name for a quotes search. The results were quite revealing:

A tremulous Hanson told the Herald that she was like “our diggers going to fight at Gallipoli for our freedom and for our rights”.

“It accuses me of being a person without conscience or ethics, a person of despicable character,” Ms Hanson wrote.

Asked what had happened to electoral funds she had received, Ms Hanson said: “You can go and do your interview, because this is going over and over … I’m tired of answering these questions.”

The search results include links to the source, making it a useful tool.
