correct, but what or who are you responding to. ? Its not illegal to promote love between adults and children in this country, neither is it illegal to publish pictures of naked children. Not seeing your point here.




since when???...you are not allowed to take pictures of children unless they are your own in a play ground...let alone naked children...

and what sort of love between children and adults are you referring too??.. Angry Angry

Quote:
Section 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act 1975 (Cth) makes it unlawful to “offend, insult humiliate or intimidate” a person on the grounds of “race, colour or national or ethnic origin”. Section 18C was the provision used against News Corp Australia journalist Andrew Bolt in 2011 for two columns he had published in 2009.

“This week leaders from around the world have united to defend the right of publications like Charlie Hebdo to publish content that is offensive to some,” says Mr Breheny.

“But a publication such as Charlie Hebdo would struggle to survive in Australia, due to laws that censor offensive, insulting, humiliating and intimidating speech. Section 18C could be used against the publishers of cartoons that satirise figures based on their race or ethnicity. Content not caught by section 18C would almost certainly be censored by current state religious vilification laws, which are specifically designed to target the kind of content published in Charlie Hebdo.”

“The attack on Charlie Hebdo is an attack on freedom of expression. And as Prime Minister Tony Abbott rightly noted in response to this atrocity, ‘Freedom of expression is the cornerstone of a free society.’”

“The Abbott government should seek to put the prime minister’s words into action by repealing existing Australian laws that restrict free speech, starting with section 18C,” says Mr Breheny.

Currently 18C makes it unlawful to offend, insult, humiliate or intimidate another person because of their race, colour or national or ethnic origin.

Sounds like Australians need to grow up and the left to harden up.

As a great man once said  Wink

"We have to be prepared to speak up for our beliefs. We have to be prepared to call things as we see them. Of cause from time to time poeple will be upset, offended, insulted, humiliated... But it is all part of a free society...Because in the end the cornerstone of progress is free speech.


So in that case if Charlie Hebdo was in Australia they should be off the hook re: 18C

Islam is a religion not a race or ethnicity.

Isn't it?  Roll Eyes
The cartoons insult race and religion, thats obvious.

What is the 'message' being conveyed, by moslems, in the image above ?

What does that 'message' signify and intend ?

To answer that, simply look at the image below;

Um by all means go for a re-read....

Perhaps of the entire thread, since you need to ask "who are you responding to..."

Further, it is ILLEGAL to make or have images of children depicting sex acts with adults. One would think that does not need explanation, further, it is a slightly different issue than naked pictures, which actually do have some legal implications.

In short, you are not seeing the point here either because you have not read it thoroughly or have not comprehended what was said. It is after all fairly straight forward mate.

I would also challenge you Ian to test your theory, you see your use of the word "if". That is hypothetical therefore.

I think you would most certainly run into issues if there was even a hint of promoting and/or supporting pedophilia...

Child protection laws are in place for a reason.

Garbage articles by garbage journalists.

Here is why.

NO cartoon in this country has been tested or challenged by 18C. As such, it is not proven that Satire would be pulled up.

Secondly, if Charlie Hedbo was in Australia, then most likely some of it's satire (at some point) may be tested against 18C and also, some may be found wanting. That would not automatically mean that Charlie Hedbo (the magazine) would close down, cease to exist or disappear in a puff of smoke. The proof of this, why, Andrew Bolt of course. He failed the 18C test spectacularly and yet, he is still exercising his right to free speech, daily.

So, rubbish articles designed to capitalize from the Charlie Hedbo mass murder. Exercising free speech, these people are scum.

As to laws of nature, real laws of nature cannot be effected, limited or changed in anyway shape or form by man.

Example, blades of grass always move in the same pattern when blowing in the wind - that is a law of nature.

Free speech is a human concept for humans alone. Animals are not subject to freedom of expression, that's why we have culls, zoos and animal companion act laws.

Then we move to the child pornography and free speech furphy.

The argument of a low life imbecile. Anything that has images of sex between an adult and a child breaches child protection laws. We live in a society that has this idea you see that children under 18 years of age are not able to make informed decisions around many matters, including sex. As such, yep, it is most likely a form of censorship, however, more to the point - action taken legally against any publication that depicts sex with Children is based on protection of children who cannot make informed decisions and, rather little to do with limiting freedom of speech - only a pedophile or supporter of such practice would argue otherwise.



But don't you see, A lion roaring is itself an expression, animals (humans included) are born will the freedom to express themselves, we do don't need a state to tell us we have a right to express ourselves.

Its troubling to see the left throwing away everything we have achieved during the Age of Enlightenment.

Read my link, Bill Henson, its already been tested. Did he run into issues, yes. But ngt legal ones, they tried and failed. They even changed the law in NSW after his exhibit, but still not illegal to publish naked pictures of children. hypothetical or not this has issue exposed the hypocrisy and the motives of those condemning Islam.

Charlie Hebdo would not be censored in this country based on 18C

18C outlaws any public act that is reasonably likely to offend, insult, humiliate or intimidate another person or group, and which is done because of their race, colour or national or ethnic origin.

Not their religion.

18C would not apply because any offense taken would be based on religious belief and not race.

Secondly 18D kills 18C. According to 18D 18C does not apply to any acts that are done reasonably and in good faith, and which are one of these: artistic works; statements made for any genuine academic, artistic or scientific purpose or other genuine purpose in the public interest; fair or accurate reports of matters of public interest; or fair comment (based on a genuinely held belief) on matters of public interest.

That adds up to a lot of ways in which words or pictures cannot be caught by 18C, and they all apply no matter how offended or insulted the victims are.

Based on all this Human Rights Commissioner Tim Wilson is wrong Charlie Hebdo would not be censored because of 18C
