The total fraud, Turnbull, knew that no amendment to Section 18c would get through the Senate, so he cynically sent it to that house of ferals first up, and the amendments have been knocked in the head by Wong and Co, as expected. No chance given to the likes of Cory Bernadi to make any amendments that might have seen changes to the iniquitous piece of rubbish.

Was this Turnbull trying to slither around the fact that there might not have been enough so-called conservatives in the Government at lower house level to get things going?

Was this Turnbull pathetically trying to hide the fact that the sort of conservatism that really believes in free speech no longer exists in Australia?

Yes, on both counts. There is no longer any party capable of forming government in Australia that cares about freedom of speech.

Turnbull may want another DD election. Never learn.

Turnbull and party are so on the nose a DD would be a sure win for the other incompetent Labor stooge.

only no freedom of speach for white males TTBN. Others can and do say what they want. Triggs and her ilk are a disgrace.

Given that 18C is about race and excludes religion what kind of comments does it prohibit in its present form?

Sorry can't say it, someone might do an 18C on me.
