Cottrel and his associates have been found guilty of making a video mocking terrorists. Gandalf is yet to decide whether such criticism should be banned, but does support bans in towns that are considering building a mosque or are having a broader discussion about Islam.

Is that an offence, Effendi?

Apparently. But it's the intention that matters, and the context, not what you actually do.

They weren't FD, as you're well aware I don't doubt.  They were found guilty of making a video mocking Muslims.   There is a difference.    Roll Eyes

Someone said we could not judge a person's Aboriginality on their skin colour.  Why isn't that applied in the matter of Pascoe?  Tsk, tsk, tsk...   Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

Even if the terrorists they are mocking happen to be Muslims? Are we only allowed to make fun of generic, unidentifiable terrorists now?

Brian do you have the right to criticise other nations and religions? How about the ability to do so?

Frivolous as usual.   How typical FD.   They were mocking Muslims as a whole.   Roll Eyes

Can you refer me to the section of the Act which makes it an offence specifically to make a video mocking terrorists, Effendi?

Depends on context, FD.  Time to mature up, instead of subscribing to black and white thinking...   Roll Eyes

How does it depend on context? Must we refrain from mocking terrorists if there is public discussion about building a mosque? Or do you only support the law when Muslims are being protected?

Do you have the right or ability to criticise other religions and other countries?

I support the law because it protects everyone, FD.   You only mock the law when it protects Muslims for some strange, unfathomable, Islamophobic reason...   Roll Eyes
