This is a typical FD quote bomb.  He carefully selects posts, isolates them out of context and then posts them as a collage,


That's true, Aussie. FD's an artist of the highest caliber.

Another masterpiece.

Are you saying you meant something different to what you said? Was Toben jailed for his opinion?


The specific question I was asking was not about the reason for Toben's jailing.

Aussie you have repeatedly accused me of misrepresenting you by quoting you, insisting that your words meant something different in a different time and that the context was also somehow different (despite your complaints about the number of threads on the same topic).

You never explained how the time and context changed the meaning of your words. Would you like to enlighten us? Or is your standard response to accuse people of lying whenever you are caught out?

That's what freedom f speech means Barnacle.



Actually, it's the eopposite. The defence of freedom of speech is normally used when speaking out against the powerful. Racists and bigots use their speech against the powerless.

Freeeeedom, innit.


Can you give some examples of speech that is covered by freedom of speech? Do you think for example that Toben is part of the powerful majority? Gandalf seems to think it is the Jews' fault. Are we only allowed to use freedom of speech to defend Muslims, dirty hippies and people who cannot make the mental leap from being jailed to being denied freedom?

No political speech should be encumbered by law.


But always remember that the body politic is a body that makes the laws etc - and a policy of that body politic of mass extermination or persecution of a specified social group** etc is unlawful illegal ***and should properly cause a calling out of the palace guard... and speaking on such a policy is equally illegal.

Now we all know that various policies of mass extermination of rights and livelihoods have been in place here for forty years... over to you....

**such actions are defined as Crimes Against Humanity by The Hague... yet entire demographics here can be discriminated against and not a word said..... so you need to be always wary of your 'body politic', since it has to power to prevent such things, but here, now - it chooses not to, and instead actively engages in them.  Thus it is complicit and even guilty of initiating these policies..... or at the very least suffering a depraved indifference.....

You know the policies I mean......

*** be wary of confusing 'unlawful' with 'illegal' - 'unlawful' simply means there is no law to cover it at this time - 'illegal' means that it does not accord with the Rule of Law.... thus clearly, many policies of recent advent are illegal but not unlawful, often for the simple reason that there is no apparatus or opportunity for them to be challenged ... affirmative action being but one among them...  Cool

(aced 'em again!).....  Wink

Another thread on 18c?

This just supports what I said in the opening post of my own thread.
It seems people are more concerned with their right to be racists and bigots than they are about ensuring the Government is held to account.

The draconian "special intelligence operation" legislation would never get 5 posts running at once


Barnacle, you claim to have started the other thread out of genuine support for freedom of speech, but have spent more time downplaying a more direct and explicit attack on freedom of speech. Doesn't that seem a bit hypocritical to you?


Aussie I went in search of an explanation of how a "different time" (1 week) and "different context" (a thread you insist is on the same topic), somehow makes it misleading for me to quote you directly. I could not find any. What I did find was a rich vein of highly concentrated stupid.

Aussie wrote on Nov 27th, 2016 at 9:28am:

And, it is a blatant lie of the most scurrilous kind on your part freediver to assert he was jailed in SA for denying the holocaust.


Aussie wrote on Nov 27th, 2016 at 12:30pm:
It is a blatant lie of the most scurrilous kind, freediver, to assert he was jailed for denying the holocaust.  Would you like the relevant links to the actual cases?
What is also relevant is that you must rely on bullshit to support your contention.  Telling.


Aussie wrote on Nov 27th, 2016 at 12:58pm:
So, your retraction and apology will be in your next post?

Quote:
Pausing there, it follows from the above that there is no room for dispute that Dr Toben has spent time in prison in Australia for criminal contempt constituted by the publication of material found to have racially vilified the Jewish people and which conveyed imputations including that there was serious doubt that the Holocaust occurred.


Aussie wrote on Nov 27th, 2016 at 1:20pm:
It sure does.  You lied in the most scurrilous manner. 


Aussie wrote on Nov 27th, 2016 at 1:26pm:
He was done because he lied on relevant issues.....a lie can hardly ne made in good faith, can it.


Aussie wrote on Nov 27th, 2016 at 1:36pm:
See, he lied, so lost the capacity to use the defences in 18D.

[quote author=freediver link=1480201951/20#20 date=1480234491]
Read the rest of the sentence Aussie. What form did the criminal contempt take? Or are you seriously suggesting that because the name of the crime was 'criminal contempt' rather than 'denying the holocaust' that he was therefor not jailed for denying the holocaust?

Yes I am.  He was ordered by a competent Court not to do stuff (irrelevant to his eventual fate what that stuff was) and he defied the Order of the Court. 
You lied to pursue your own little pathetic crusade you say you have mounted for others and not yourself, one you floated here, (even with a sticky no-one else can use here to ensure prominence) to push a barrow of complete bullshit.


Aussie wrote on Nov 27th, 2016 at 8:11pm:
Perhaps you can have a go on this.  What is that you want to say that 18C/D prevents you from saying?


Aussie wrote on Nov 27th, 2016 at 8:22pm:

So let me get this straight. The man committed contempt of court by denying the holocaust and was jailed for it,

Read the Judgement I gave you the link to.  He committed a contempt of Court by defying an Order of a competent Court.  When will that get through to you?
Quote:
....but that is different to being jailed for denying the holocaust?

Indeed it is.


Aussie wrote on Nov 30th, 2016 at 5:10pm:
If you are referring to Tobin, he was jailed in Australia for defying a Court Order, and for nothing else.  The embarrassment is yours freediver.  You simply refuse to acknowledge the truth, as usual.


Aussie wrote on Dec 1st, 2016 at 1:46pm:
Your are posting absolute garbage.....what you say is totally incorrect, in Law.  Do you think you ought be allowed to mislead people on what is a simple legal concept?

In case you have forgotten already, you were attempting to claim that getting jailed for contempt of court that takes the specific form of denying the holocaust is somehow different from getting jailed for denying the holocaust.

Correct.  You said he was jailed for denying the holocaust.  He was not.  He was jailed for defying a Court Order, i.e. contempt of Court.

Likewise the definition of a court order specifically includes the order given.....

The bloke was jailed for contempt of Court, and for nothing else.  What was his contempt?  He defied a Court Order.
He had already published his denial of holocaust rubbish, and was not jailed for doing so.  He was ordered to cease publishing that material, an Order he defied, and was then jailed for contempt.


Aussie wrote on Dec 2nd, 2016 at 7:51pm:
Finally...after how many pages, you get it correct:

So he was not jailed for denying the holocaust. He was jailed for not ceasing to deny the holocaust?

....as he was ordered to do by the Court.


Aussie wrote on Dec 3rd, 2016 at 8:49pm:
Tobin was jailed for defying a Court Order.  Contempt of Court.  That is what he was convicted of and jailed for.  If you have proof otherwise, let's see it.

freediver wrote on Dec 3rd, 2016 at 8:50pm:
Can you clarify that when you accused me of lying about whether the man was jailed for denying the holocaust (without explanation) you merely meant that he was jailed for refusing to cease denying the holocaust?

How many times must I do that for you freediver?   I have agreed with that.
What you originally said (and it was a lie) was that he was jailed for denying the holocaust.  Are you now denying you said that, freediver?
Quote:
Why is it that the evidence you introduced does not make the same distinction? Did you introduce a lie as evidence?

No, I did not.  I highlighted your lie, one you offered to suit, yet again, your personal agenda.


Aussie wrote on Dec 4th, 2016 at 8:38am:
There you go yet again with deceptive language.  He was jailed for Contempt of Court.  His contempt was defiance of a Court Order.  The Court Order was that he cease distributing holocaust denial material.  He then distributed that material.  Ergo, he was not jailed for denying the holocaust.
How hard is that to understand?

freediver wrote on Dec 6th, 2016 at 5:57pm:
Gandalf, do you agree that Toben was jailed for denying the holocaust, or do you take the learned Aussie's view that he was jailed for Contempt of Court by defying a Court Order not refraining from denying the holocaust (and anything else is a blatant lie of the most scurrilous kind)

I've corrected the question so that I am not verballed, and to make it accurate in terms of what I said, and not what FD wishes I had said.

It is a measure of Andrew Bolt's egregiousness in his two columns that he could run afoul of these expansive exemptions.

Denying the biggest genocide of the 20th century is far more than offending the thin-skinned. I'm not sure that denying history should be illegal. But given what such propaganda is capable of achieving, I'm not so unhappy that it is.

He did far more than hold an opinion. He told people about it. That is how Mothra knows that 18c is not a threat to freedom of speech. All he had to do was keep his opinion to himself.


No, he could share it. People say on here all sorts of things that contravene 18c.

Are they prosecuted?

No, they're usually backed up.

Publicising something under your own name and inviting public comment that vilifies people is a direct breach of 18 and if indefensible under 18d can be ordered to be taken down.

You cannot go to jail for that opinion though. You can only be asked not to publicise it.

How is this a difficult concept for you?


And if you do publicise it, you can go to gaol. Do you not see that for all the weasel words saying otherwise, the law can imprison someone for expressing an opinion.


Incorrect.  Read the Act.

This is a tad long....but worth the read.  You will better understand why you are incorrect.

Should have read  "Toben was still in gaol."   he was gaoled for contempt of a court which ordered him to stop publishing his opinions. In a free society no court should be able do do such a thing.


Let's say you are in front of a Judge who has issued you with a fine.  Do you reckon you'd get away with "You're an arsehole.  You're a fruitloop, a joke who would not know chit from clay.  The legal system is as corrupt as you are."

What do you reckon would happen next?

He was imprisoned for contempt and he was guilty. It has nothing to do with expressing his opinion. That is a fact.
There is no word play or obfuscation involved, straight plain direct English is the only requirement.

Freediver is unable to grasp the fact that freedom of speech does not mean freedom from consequence.

His inability to understand how the law works means he will continue to post inaccurate statements in threads such as this

Toben acknowledged this himself. He even apologised for it.

Toben is a serial Holocaust-denial law tester. He did the same in two European countries. He acknowledged that Australia did not jail him for denying the Holocaust, as they did in Europe.

FD disagrees with his very own martyr.

Freeeeeedom, innit.
