Foxy,
I gave a direct quote from the link you advised everyone to read. It is there in black and white. There is no ambiguity. David Marr agreed with George Brandis, he said: "The anti-vilification provisions of the Racial Discrimination Act used to attack Bolt are drafted far too broadly. They outlaw speech that is merely offensive or insulting." Posted by onthebeach, Friday, 21 March 2014 4:05:17 PM

Foxy,
You haven't answered the question about whether truth should be a defence. Posted by Divergence, Friday, 21 March 2014 4:09:49 PM

Gentlemen,
I've provided you with several links including the link that explains the reasons for the judge's decision in the Bolt case - within the Racial Vilification Laws. You may peruse these at your own leisure and make of them what you will. I have no further wish to add any additional comments to this issue. I've stated what I wished to say on this subject. Enjoy your week-end. Posted by Foxy, Friday, 21 March 2014 7:20:29 PM

Gold Coast again, what sort of attacks are these?

Beach,
Are you saying this attack was racially motivated? Are you homing in on that part of the article which said "dark complexion" I would descried the perpetrator as a bad tempered jerk. One of my sons is a Sydney public bus driver, and I catch buses quite a bit myself, and yes there are some bad people, crazy people out there. My son and other drivers take the attitude that fare paying is a problem for the police and transit officers, as drivers say "don't be a hero. hero's get hurt". Fare evasion is huge on Sydney Buses, my own observation and my son's first hand knowledge says at least 10% don't pay at all , and who knows how many under pay. The inspectors ping about 1/2% Beach, still waiting on your comment about your man Jim Saleam, you did ask me a question, I gave you an answer, you never came back with a reply. Also I must add in the seat of Cook THE GREEN candidate out polled The Mad Doctor by a factor of 10 to 1, I wonder whyyou never replied? Could it be because Australia First really is a joke, after all. Posted by Paul1405, Saturday, 22 March 2014 7:26:03 AM

He stated quite clearly that Bolt was wrong.
Spectacularly wrong!
Judge Bromberg's words:
"I accept that the language utilised in the newspaper
article were inflammatory..."
"Race, colour and ethnicity were vital elements of the
message and therefore a motivating reason for conveying
the message..."
It would help everyone to read the previous link
given earlier on the Racial Vilification Laws and the
Bolt case from a State Perspective. It clearly explains
the reasons for the judge's decision:
