Malcolm Turnbull has responded swiftly to the growing energy crisis gripping parts of the nation, promising to overhaul section 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act as soon as possible.
In a joint press conference with Attorney General George Brandis, Mr Turnbull said Australians were rightly concerned about energy security and the effects of climate change, and that it was therefore incumbent on his government to ensure that racial minorities could be insulted.
“At pubs, in kitchens and at BBQs around the country people are talking about electricity, they’re talking about the cost of living, they’re talking about job security. So we need to take significant steps to ensure it’s easier for people to use racially-charged language,” he said.

Are the country folks also talking about $100 lamb as well? Typical lib trash talk.

The Libs will deliver on $100 lamb legs with their FTA

Well given they only "done" beef so far, maybe $100 steaks?

Only seven months ago, Turnbull was telling us that 18C was not a priority of Government. The Libs did not even take any change to 18C to the electorate in the last election. Turnbull was then talking about 'softening' 18C, and is now stupidly ranting that Government has moved to strengthen it. What a farce. What happened in the interim, Turnbull. Bill Leak tossed in his chips. Is that it? Far cough.

Never mind '18c' - what the government should be doing instead is to cancel the deceitful Lefty re-definition of the word 'race' which they've been peddling incorrectly as referring to ethnicity, culture, and religion.

Herbert....Herbert......Herbert:

Have you read 18C?

Quote:

Section 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act 1975 deals with offensive behaviour "because of race, colour or national or ethnic origin" in Australia.

Which words would you like deleted?

You've just confirmed what I said.

Race has absolutely bugger-all to do with ethnicity or what country you come from.

Calling me a "Pommy bastard" is not racism.

It was the Lefties who widened the goal posts to include these supplementary additions to the original meaning of the word.

"You f***ing black bastard" is racism.

"You bugger Lebanese Muslim bastard" is not racism.

You have to wonder why Liberal supporters prefer dumb leaders ?

" .... prefer dumb leaders".

Lift your game, please, DNA.

I would think it is you who need to lift your game recommending someone as poor quality as Dutton , really.

Reply #71 - Mar 26^th, 2017 at 7:44pm There was a recent recommendation to have a vetting process at the start to remove vexatious complaints and those with no chance of success. This seems sensible to me and about all that needs to be fixed with the legislation.

What this change has exposed is the sheer volume of whinging and whining ethnics, blacks, and Muslims who have been greedily hoping to be awarded fat cheques from the courts as victims of 18c.

No. The Act is clearly duplicitous, vague and too easily corrupted. Scrap it. Sack the lot. Burn down their offices. Salt the earth.

You know there have been about 15 cases in the last 20 years ??? The sheer volume is frightening.

Less than 5% of cases make it to court and the majority are unsuccessful.

Interestingly a number of cases have been raised against Pauline Hanson. 6 in 1996 and then 1 in 2000

2000 - Pauline Hanson following the publication of the book, ‘Pauline Hanson, The Truth’, which made claims “that Aboriginal people were savages who ate babies.”

They were all dismissed. The eating babies claim was dismissed because it was unclear who actually wrote the book as it was anonymous.
