At the same time freediver... if you accuse us of being hypocritical... we can do the same for those who are banning us from criticizing Islam... etc.

So really, you don't have a point worth considering. Especially when it's just the name of a mosque we're talking about opposed to everyday speech.

I agree with you Freediver - Alan Jones and Brian Wiltshire appear to be openly racist, although Wiltshire only ever comments if the subject is brought up and can nowhere be compared to Jones who responds with gusto every time the word "Muslim" is mentioned.

How Alan Jones has got away with it for so many years is unbelievable. Yes we do have the right to comment on certain groups of people, but broadcasters need to choose their words carefully. Maybe not so much for the general public, but for those with sick intentions who take his word as gospel.

'Sugar' Ray Robinson suing John Laws
Reply #84 - Jul 3^rd, 2007 at 4:16pm

http://www.smh.com.au/news/National/Sugar-Ray-Robinson-suing-John-Laws/2007/07/03/1183351190254.html

Controversial indigenous leader "Sugar" Ray Robinson has succeeded in his bid to pursue defamation action against high profile radio announcer John Laws over comments made 12 years ago.

Mr Robinson, the former deputy chairman of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission, alleges Mr Laws defamed him in a string of broadcasts aired on 2UE radio in 1995 and 1996.

In the Supreme Court in Brisbane on Tuesday, Justice Martin Moynihan dismissed an application, lodged by lawyers for Mr Laws, seeking to strike out the long-running case Mr Robinson first brought against the radio host in 1995.

The details of the allegedly defamatory comments were not outlined in the court nor detailed in Justice Moynihan's judgment.

Street language ruled to be no racial slur

AN Aboriginal girl who kicked a woman and called her a "white slvt" did not engage in racial vilification because the slur was common street language.

Sydney radio station 2GB will introduce new training procedures after three of its commentators breached racial vilification provisions of the broadcasting code, the broadcast regulator says.

The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) said Harbour Broadcasting Pty Ltd, licensee of 2GB, "will introduce a comprehensive training program on vilification intended to ensure its future compliance with the code".

ACMA said in its statement the training program met required compliance measures stemming from three investigations into the broadcaster during the past six months.

The investigations related to comments made by Alan Jones on his breakfast program, Brian Wiltshire on his late evening show and Malcolm T Elliott on his weekend program.

Jones and Wiltshire were found to have broadcast comments likely to vilify people of Middle Eastern descent and encourage violence around the time of the Cronulla race riot and retaliatory attacks in December 2005.

I never liked Alan Jones..hes a wan ker.
