Well every thread expands, even travels in different directions
Surely however we can stay on track here?.
Recommend the first dog on the moon this week's cartoon for one extreme of the issue.
Remain to convinced this new bill when it comes before Parliament, even after it passes, will be no easy thing
But just as firm, while convinced some, on all sides, will miss use it, it if we need it, must not stop free speech
I would not want the job of writing this bill

What this clip produced by these activists is saying is that there is a miniscule possibility that a tiny minority of people might hear something that offends them and they might not have the ability to vastly overreact and ruin the offender's career.

That they routinely go out of their way to offend and shock others seems to escape them.

Shadow Minister I suspect, much like the first dog on the moon cartoon [Guardian Australia this day] use as you say the extreme to highlight their view.
Should such take place I am confident it would be rectified in the courts.
However many will miss use this legislation no matter what it contains
I would not want the job of putting it together.

I cant discriminate against you, because of your religion.
But you can discriminate against me, because of your religion.

Pull the other one.
This is the religious right to discriminate bill.
Surely soon to be followed by jim crow laws, apartheid and locking the disabled in gulags.
Since discrimination is so fine and dandy these days.

I feel sick from the inherent hatred and divisiveness of this bill and suggest you lot have a good think about the words of your mate about "do unto others etc".

I believe there is a legitimate moral right to offend people whose behaviour you disapprove. You do it to your children in their training, they get offended but it corrects their behaviour. It should be similar to uncultured adults, it happens in most social settings, work, school, church. We can be corrected or offended; if we are morally right the offense does not affect us.

Would you like a lend of a hankie?
You feel sick from what, being disabled from kicking the guts out of Christians?
There are still openings where your view of bullying is believed: Qantas for example.
When put to the test, proved a failure though.

It's actually religious people in need of protection from your lot, viz a viz Falou for a classic example.
