// @description    Remove text-only ads from news.com.au that aren't blocked by AdBlock plus
// @include        http://www.news.com.au/*
// ==/UserScript==

// AdBlock Plus is great, and gets rid of most of the ads on news.com.au.
// However there are still some bothersome text-only ads on the site.
// This simple script finds and removes them.
