The thing that has surprised me most about this government has been how much they're willing to openly gently caress over pensioners.

It features:
Gaza being blown up with artillery
Australians invading Gaza
Australians knifing many Palestinians/Turks
Australians winning something in WW1 that is not Gallipoli

Click at own risk: Andrew Bolt warning.

quote:

Abbott’s odd reason for dumping Racial Discrimination Act reforms

...

But surely the ethnic communities which produced those jihadists and the 21 Muslims we’ve jailed on terrorism offences already need exactly the kind of critical scrutiny too easily shut down with cries of “racism”.

...

His proposals were badly sold by Attorney General George Brandis, and far more groups than Muslims fought them. Jewish leaders, foolishly, were the most vocal.

He was never really that articulate, he just had a thesaurus rammed up his arse at some point and made the best of a bad situation.

Seriously though the section quoted was either "the Jews were duped by evil leftists" or "I regret that the Jews are now the enemies of freedom". Hyperbole in both cases only partly mine. He's made the exact same arguments with "Muslims" in place of "Jews" countless times. I genuinely think he's cracked on this one, he was the great hero of free speech for the ignorami, and they didn't rise in his defense. He's reeling.

The thing is Bolt would have been nailed harder and faster in a defamation action anyway. The guys research was to Google a person and think, "yep, they look more white then Aboriginal to me". The people involved went the harder route of using 18c as they wanted to demonstrate it was motivated by race.

The repeal would have him been able to say 'look, that law a court said I was in breach of doesn't exist any more so not racist". He couldn't post the exact same thing with 18c gone and no repercussions anyway.

I recall on Q&A this year when he was called out on being he a racist and the studio laughed when Brandis insisted he isn't. Then Bolt had a cry and wrote an article about how he was "lynched" by the ABC and branded as a racist that he didn't turn up for work the next day and acting like a victim.
