Taking offence is not a matter for the law : Comments

By David Leyonhjelm, published 26/8/2019

It is an offence to insult a registrar or magistrate in a bankruptcy examination, a member of the Australian Competition Tribunal and on and on.

Many thanks David for making the efforts you did in defending free speech in Australia.
I too hope that there will be others willing to take up this cause.

"Taking offence is not a matter for the law";
- Especially when 'taking the piss' is a bona-fide part of our national culture.

If you take these to things together, it becomes evident that our nation is displaying symptoms of a serious mental illness, is it not?

As a true blue Aussie the only reasonable response I could ever make to them is to tell them where I think they should go;
- In a certain refined Australian vernacular that goes beyond what is permitted here -

This 'offense' narrative comes from foreigners and brainwashed university people from our foreign filled liberal cities who are trying to impose their new global PC religion on the rest of ours and every other western nations constituents.

(And also backed by the ADL's constant divisive promoting of 'anti-hate speech' ideology)

AC,

good to hear some home truths for a change, and not some unrealistic,
misguided and baseless dogma, preached by those from the "precious" and completely unrealistic side of the tracks.
They choose to live in what they consider to be a "perfect" world.
Unfortunately THEIR perfect world is in their own head.
If only these same people would look around themselves with open eyes and minds, we would not have to watch our P's and Q's.
This ignorant PC attitude affects me and so many others and is most pervasive if not recognised and rejected with prejudice, because I have always enjoyed a good joke or send-up.
These days PC has hit the most basic of life's pleasures with it's insidious disease spreading even into the world of comedy.
This is the last place I would have expected this disease to have infiltrated.
A sense of humour is simply that just another sense, that your either born with or not.
I have always maintained that if I feel the need to insult, then I will, and I must.
If I intended to offend, then I have achieved my goal.
To do otherwise is to lie.
So now I am expected to be untruthful because the truth might upset the very person the truth will offend?
People are mentally and emotionally lacking or mis-directed.
They are also gutless, they lack the courage of their convictions, whereby it is easier to give in and agree, than to stand and fight, even if only verbally.
So it is that such people must be shunned and avoided or side-lined, because to take them seriously, taxes us and the system in real terms by trying to change the NATURAL course of events and therefore, life and nature itself, as we know it.

Altrav,
That's fine but also include the Welfare payments for their perfect world to the contents of their heads !
