This article is a load of crap.

The criminal behaviour of the louts towards the Jewish schoolchildren is already adequately covered in common law.

This article is just another spin job by socialist conservatives who are desperately trying to defend their state supported ideology of multiculturalism by using 18C to shut up their critics. The freedom to discuss any contentious issue of national importance is fundamental to a free and democratic society. These authors are evangelical crusaders to whom freedom of political discussion and democracy are an impediment to the implementation of their fairy land ideology which is failing everywhere.

Multiculturalism is exactly like socialism. How many times does it need to fail before educated and supposedly intelligent people like these two authors figure out that it does not work?

These two are hardly liberals if they think that freedom of speech should not be applied to people that hold opposing views to what they advocate. Thomas Paine would wondering what went wrong with you pair. You have now become the very people that in your youth you so vehemently opposed.

Multiculturalism is the various Elite's response to the success of People Power movements, such as Women's Lib and the Anti-Vietnam War movement onwards.
They saw a clear and present danger to their control of society so chose to allow the fruitbats to have their way, to divide and conquer(rule).
It has worked well for them too.

The ECAJ can directly influence the issue or denial of visas by the immigration department.
When Geert Wilders, a philo semitic commentator and Israel firster applied for a visa there was a similar outcry by the Left and Islamic groups yet he was allowed entry to the country.
So the immigration minister is answerable to the ECAJ, they are the only other group besides the government who can dictate immigration policy.
The 18c debate is another example of the power of the ECAJ over the federal government, so is the issue of Palestine so there's a growing and very reasonable perception that the government answers to the Jews first and the electorate second, that if a particular policy isn't acceptable to Jewish activists it's to be scrapped.
So in practice, after the Crown the ECAJ are the second most powerful group in society yet they're supposed to be immune from criticism or the kind of pro-active resistance applied to say, the state or the government?
This relationship between those who purport to speak for "the Jews", the government (all governments at all levels) and the state is unique, no other group has so much power, this perception that the government is controlled by Jews is why Jews are quite rightly seen as legitimate targets by those opposed to government policy.
If Jews can't take the heat, they need to step out of the kitchen and demand that the ECAJ and other Jewish bodies stop interfering in the operation of the government, stop the bullying, the lying and the race baiting.

When you compare the alleged treatment of private school Jewish students to the pre-meditated slaughter of over four hundred children in Gaza by the Jews in Palestine, what significance does it have?

The reality is that the Zionist lobby throughout the West have inordinate power over our Govts because of their close connections to our Global Central Bankers like the Rothschilds, Rockerfellers, JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs.

He who pays the piper,calls the tune.

If you are claiming that the Jews in Australia dictate are government policy, jay of Melbourne, 7you may be in breach of Section 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act. A Jewish Australian can say he is "Offended, insulted, humiliated and intimidated" by your opinion which he thinks could have his ethnic/religious group held in contempt, and could cause violence towards his group as evidenced by the bus incident.
