There may be a new law coming in as well which legislates against offending religious people to incite racial hatred or something along those lines.

Its a stupid law that goes against Free Speech whatever the small print.

Author: David (Australia) [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 01:01:59 12/23/04 Thu A law similar to this has been introduced in the Aussie state of Victoria. Probably will be the first step towards banning free speech. Ironically, though the law actually seems to have encouraged more division and hatred between religions, through prosecuting those who make such illegal comments. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
