He may be unpleasant to some, some of what he says is bull but the only challenge and evil are in the ongoing attempts of "Progressives" to suppress speech. We have just seen in Roxon, a Minister of the Crown, try to do what Elizabeth I would not "I would not open windows into men's souls".

Maybe the Enlightenment was a mistake and there should be a new suitably staffed inquisition, ex-officio including "Journos" of the ABC / Fairfax axis, Uni Profs (..... Studies, Sociology) plus selected like (correct) minded.

They could send those who need help to a suitable institution, maybe Macquarie Island where we already have some Government accommodation?

>>Without a Bill of Rights, free speech is not a right in Australia. It is implied in the Australian Constitution but laws determine speech only to be free if it does not incite, harm or offend.>>

LOL

If there really is a right not to be offended you may have to shut up shop Graham. There are certain topics that bring out "offenders" in droves.

...What this article fails to address is the outcome of contracting free speech, when the worm turns as it will and must, these constricting laws designed to stifle protest to the multicultural march, will be used against "multiculturalists" to silence their nonsense! Sooner the better!

It's a false dichotomy to claim this is an issue between Islam and white supremacists. In reality, it's an argument between liberal democracy and a political theocracy. The 'white supremacist' angle is to merely paint anyone who criticizes Islam as some kind of fascist.

The problem is real. If Muslim demographics reach near or over 50% in any European country, then it's a given that that country will start to look like the countries of the Middle East. This is simple concept to grasp. If you fill a country with people who have ideas grounded in a political theology, then the country will reflect that.

The left's position on this issue is ludicrous. While they claim to be 'fighting oppression' everywhere, they inadvertently end up making friends with the most ghastly of people. Gay rights under Islam? Ha! Women's rights under Islam? Ha!

I think it is a bit early to declare victory.

One of the most obnoxious elements of the proposed new legislation is the burden of proof. The burden is on the accused to prove their innocence!

Our parliament peddles hatred in the community every time they break refugee laws to pander to the haters.

They are no different to this idiot.
