>>the really sad part is that they don't even apply to White Australians, we can be punished by them but we have no access mechanism of appeal against anti White vilification or discrimination.<<
Bullsmeg. The law applies equally to all Australian citizens: if you can demonstrate discrimination on the grounds of race then you have exactly the same rights under the law as the next foreign, evil, funny-smelling coloured bloke.

Any attempt to limit speech is really an attempt to limit thought.
If you can't say it, you can't think it. "Thoughtcrime" should not be tolerated in a liberal, democratic society. Posted by Shockadelic, Wednesday, 13 November 2013 8:55:20 PM

Bullsmeg. This forum is proof of that: I cannot say the profanity that might otherwise substitute for 'bullsmeg' but I can certainly think it. Until the government develops mind-probes - and neurological science is decades away from such technology being feasible - they can only prohibit your words but not your thoughts or beliefs.

Tony,
<<The law applies equally to all Australian citizens: if you can demonstrate discrimination on the grounds of race then you have exactly the same rights under the law as the next>> Hmmm it seems then that someone hasn't told our magistrates! "AN Aboriginal girl who kicked a woman and called her a 'white slut' did not engage in racial vilification because the slur was common street language." http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/nation/street-language-ruled-not-vilification/story-e6frg6nf-1111112215330 Now can you imagine what would happen if "black" was inserted in place of "white" ...or heaven forbid, after inserting "black" in place of "white" you added the descriptor "ape" --perish the thought!

that religions divide countries and inevitabley
cause civil war over control of countries
as their respective numbers expand.
But I am told, I must practise religious tolerance
or else I am an intolerant uneducated bigot
So I am denied free speech because I quote
what History obviously demonstrates is fact,
because the reality is too harsh for people and also
because people have their own agendas in wanting to
practice their religious beliefs regardless of the
division it causes in societies where half the population
has a different belief.
There is also an underlying racism and tribalism in most religions
who claim they are falsely fighting a Holy war and not a bloodline
war. I would like to see them have the guts to teach the
truth in our Universities but they must teach the lie or
be drowned in a horror reaction by those who like to believe in
false lies that don't make them feel uncomfortable or frightened.
