'Hate speech' censorship: the reality : Comments

By Laurence Maher, published 28/9/2015

'Hate speech' is no more than an ideological label used to dress up the latest manifestation of the ever-present human impulse to gag other human beings from expressing opinions which differ from the censors' approved opinions.

Judges are not infallible, Toni. The case was clearly a mis-carriage of justice and a cowardly fear of Islam, which will eventually see the end of the West.

The "Catch the Fire" incident was some years ago, Susieoncrack, but I will recount what I remember.

It was during another Labor/Greens turn at office when some bright spark came up with a new idea for fleecing the public, while promoting the Socialist agenda. They created a Human Rights Commission to defend Labor's new, imported ethnic voting electorate from the Australians. Naturally, they also enacted new anti racism legislation to stop those racist Aussies from criticising multiculturalism as well.

In one way it worked just fine. It became another new burden on the taxpayer while giving unproductive non jobs to the sort of bureaucrats who vote Labor. The problem was, that nobody ever bothered to complain to the Victorian Human Rights Commission about how bad the Aussies were treating them. We can't have that, can we? After all, here is this brand new department with a bloated budget, untold numbers of unproductive workers, comcars, and generous superannuation. They have to justify their useless existence.

Luckily for the Victorian Human Rights Commission, they heard about a public meeting where Christians were going to give the Muzzies a well deserved serve. So, the HRC desperately looked around for a couple of Muzzies who would go the meeting for the purpose of getting offended.

Now, if you were an intelligent person, you would ask yourself whether it is appropriate for a workless government department who's existence is self evidently unnecessary, to go and look for business, by asking Muzzies to go a meeting so that the HR Commission can find some work? And if I remember correctly, the Christian leader who was prosecuted by the HRC refused to pay up anyway, and the whole matter was dropped when it was discovered that the HRC had put the Muzzies up to it.

But you won't ask yourself if the HRC is necessary, or is an impediment to the western liberal tradition of free speech. Like Elmer Gantry, the HR Commission know how to use the high ideals of naive people like yourself, to sucker them into supporting them for their own self aggrandisement.
