The appeal is on extraordinary grounds.
If granted it would mean that you could not criticise the Klu Klux Klan
or the apartheid laws of Sth Africa. Hitler would be off limits also.
I think it means that you cannot offend anyone in any way.

The appeal judge has expressed puzzlement.

Dear JB and Bazz,

I don't think that Ms Prior's appeal has any chance
of being granted.

May we all have a very Merry Christmas, and a Healthy,
Safe, and Happy New Year.

Suppression of felt ideas because of PC will spill over to voting Trump. It is a reaction to having allowed nonsense and PC to rule society. It is government by fear to deny the free expression of ideas.

Oh yes, you may not be able to criticise Pauline Hanson because it
might offend her. It could be considered offensive to redheads.

Cannot see it happening but PC madness is everywhere.
It must be a virus.

Foxy,

You would do well to read the articles to which you link. The left whinge aligned opposes the changing of 18c and sites several examples of vilification, none of which would be affected by the proposed changes.

I have yet to find a cogent argument for Keeping "offend and insult" in 18c.

Dear SM,

My link explained why some politicians want 18C
changed. That was its aim. You obviously agree
with these politicians. I do not as I stated
earlier. I have nothing further to add.
