What the hell is wrong with people??? I just do not understand why some think it's acceptable to resort to personal attacks on someone, whether personally known or otherwise. And no, I'm not a fan of Charlotte Dawson, I am, however, a fan of decent human behaviour, something which is in seriously short supply these days. For shame, people, for shame! I wonder if you've stopped to think that by your vicious comments you've just proved her statement about NZ being "small, nasty and vindictive" true!

She copped the abuse because she denigrated New Zealand. While it may seem hateful, I believe she got everything she deserved. Don't dish it out if you can't take it. As for needing hosiptalisation just because of some tweets .... grow up. It was her that was "small, nasty and vindictive" and she just got repaid in kind.

An ambassador for the Australian anti-bullying programme should know better than to make such comments about NZ. It's also a form of bullying, just because it involves over 4million people doesn't mean it can't hurt anyone. Perhaps the insecurities of her being 40 and no children exists only in her mind. Become a better person rather than arguing with children on twitter. It is shameful. If you want to insult a nation then you should be prepared for backlash.
