The HRC, Triggs, Malcolm Turnbull, anyone supporting Section 18c and all enemies of free speech should feel very uncomfortable about their probable role in the premature death of Bill Leak. However, turds that they are, it is unlikely that they will make any connection between their filthy attitudes and Leak's death.

s18C deters and may punish others for saying this,
"There is a new, dangerous Aboriginal culture emerging Langton spoke of "a new version of Aboriginal culture that keeps a few elements of the older culture and adds a new set of dangerous elements", elements that expose women and children to assault yet forbid them from speaking out about it. She believes legislators have "drunk the Kool Aid" and are too afraid to interfere with the "culture" of communities, a culture that now involves high levels of violence and abuse. From this comes a "culture of silence" as explained by Cashman, which "allows criminals to gain power over communities and to establish unfettered access to children through fear, which perpetrates a misguided tolerance of criminal behaviour." In situations where domestic incidents are reported, victims are called "dog and snitch" for collaborating with white authorities and those who report violence and rape often find that the police responses range from slow to non-existent, she said." http://www.smh.com.au/lifestyle/news-and-views/experts-urge-australians-to-forget-bill-leak-think-of-indigenous-women-instead-20161117-gsrjo0.html Imagine a Bill Leak cartoon depicting any of that. But wait, there was one wasn't there and wasn't Leak denounced for it? Posted by leoj, Tuesday, 14 March 2017 12:16:16 PM

I find Marcia Langton to be a particularly sensible woman. Her often mentioned mistreatment of women and children in indigenous society is generally ignored by the up-themselves elites and politicians who are too busy squawking about 'recognition' to care about domestic violence.
Aboriginal women are 84% more likely to be victims of domestic violence than are other women in Australia. Will Recognition change this. Of course it will not. The vast sums of money already spent on this divisive notion would have been better spent enforcing the same laws on back thugs that apply to white thugs.

Were the Q&A host and his hidden prompters, the Q&A panel members and audience, and last of all the protesters, totally ignorant of reports like this,
http://www.sbs.com.au/nitv/the-point-with-stan-grant/article/2016/03/08/josephine-cashman-im-not-hyped-and-i-dont-need-calm-down Bill Leak put his head and the future of his own loved ones on the block to get something done. As someone who was prepared to step forward and take the hypocrites to task. I wonder if any of the easily led cowards on the Q&A panel are feeling a mite shabby after?

In 2015, Leak was threatened by jihadists for the thought crime of drawing a cartoon of Mohammed after the massacre at the Charlie Hebdo in Paris. In 2016, Leak was threatened by the PC censors’ favourite weapon, section 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act, for offending someone somewhere.
It was offensive to those offended by the truth that some men are alcoholics, some alcoholics neglect their children and some alcoholic men who neglect their children are indigenous.
It is time to change 18c to prevent extremists from all sides from attacking free speech and the innocent.
