South Australian Attorney-General Michael Atkinson has landed himself spot number six in Zoo Weekly's annual Top 50 People We Hate List. I wonder why.

They've taken a jab at ABC for labeling last Friday's episode of Wire In The Blood about a sex-crazed cannibal as 'entertainment' in their TV guide.
