18 c repeal is nothing more than a smoke screen from the Fascist Crown Government and as another poster said more of the status quo - divide & conquer. They are doing it very nicely under the radar, shortly we are likely to see rammed through in dead of night with marathon sittings of parliament, new terror laws, surveillance laws and removal of the right to silence and many common law protections gone forever.
The bench of the High Court is now of course stacked with LNP lackies, & I lament the retirements of Gummow & Kirby, who at least if only for their humanity, kept a lid on some of their more judicially activist friends in the later (current) bench.
