ZT:抗议吧，白澳又来了
摘要：
Abbotte政府准备废除反种族法的第18C条款，将原定义为非法的个人行为字眼" 冒犯，侮辱，羞辱“ 去除，即对有色人种（华人，Aborignal，船民等）来说：
1. 雇主可以种族歧视辱骂下属而获赦免。
2. 同事之间可以种族歧视辱骂而获赦免。
3. 在路上，车上，Milkbar，2 dollar shop等场所有人可骂你滚回中国去而不犯法。
4. 在校的少数族裔孩子也无法幸免。
------
墨尔本有顶级中学老师上课竞称Aborignal为”those people“，赤裸裸的冒犯，以后华人也跑不掉。
这就是部份华人抱大腿的自由党干的，美国英国加拿大都不敢这么干！
这只是草案，还要社区讨论。
George Brandis releases planned sweeping changes to race hate laws

The Abbott government is proposing sweeping and controversial changes to the Racial Discrimination Act, with an exposure draft approved by the Coalition partyroom on Tuesday morning.
A day after defending the right of Australians to be "bigots", Attorney-General George Brandis has proposed repealing section 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act.
Section 18C, in its current form, makes it unlawful for someone to do an act that is reasonably likely to "offend, insult, humiliate or intimidate" someone because of their race or ethnicity.
Senator Brandis wants to remove the words "offend, insult and humiliate" but to leave intimidate, which he said provoked fear.
"Those three words [being removed] describe . . . hurt feelings," Senator Brandis said.
These proposed changes would be discussed and consulted with the community in coming weeks, Senator Brandis said.
Senator Brandis has also proposed repealing section 18D of the Act, which provides exemptions that protect freedom of speech. These ensure that artistic works, scientific debate and fair comment on matters of public interest are exempt, providing they are said or done reasonably and in good faith.
A new section will be inserted into the Act, which will preserve the existing protection against intimidation and create a new protection from racial vilification.
"This will be the first time that racial vilification is proscribed in Commonwealth legislation," Senator Brandis said in a statement.
The Abbott government's proposed changes to the Racial Discrimination Act come after months of speculation, during which time a coalition of ethnic and religious groups made it known that they "vehemently opposed" any weakening of current protections against race hate speech.
Senator Brandis' motivation to make changes to the race hate laws was a 2011 case involving News Corp columnist Andrew Bolt.
The Attorney-General and Prime Minister Tony Abbott have close relationships with Bolt, and believe he was mistreated by the courts when he was found to have breached section 18C for an article he wrote about light-skinned Aborigines.
Justice Mordecai Bromberg ruled "that fair-skinned Aboriginal people (or some of them) were reasonably likely, in all the circumstances, to have been offended, insulted, humiliated or intimidated by the imputations conveyed by [Bolt's] newspaper articles".
It's not only ethnic and religious groups who have opposed the changes to the race hate laws. Senator Brandis has also faced opposition from within his own partyroom.
Liberal MPs including NSW MPs Craig Laundy and David Coleman, who represent electorates with a high proportion of multicultural constituents, have urged Senator Brandis to keep the legal "safety net" protecting racial minorities against hate speech.
Indigenous Liberal MP Ken Wyatt has threatened to cross the floor to oppose the change, and Jewish MP Josh Frydenberg is understood to have expressed reservations about weakening the protections.
Senator Brandis released the proposed changes in the Coalition partyroom early on Tuesday. He received a number of questions from concerned MPs about the implications of the legislation for minority groups.
Representatives from the Aboriginal, Greek, Jewish, Chinese, Arab, Armenian and Korean communities have been visiting Parliament House for months and lobbying MPs from all parties to oppose the changes.
It is not certain that the Attorney-General will get his proposed changes through the Senate, even when the new Senate convenes on July 1. The Greens and Labor oppose changing the laws, as does independent Senator Nick Xenophon. The success of Senator Brandis' legislation may hinge on the Palmer United Party senators, who have not publicly declared their position.
Executive Council of Australian Jewry executive director Peter Wertheim said he could not recall ''any other issue on which there has been such unity of purpose and strength of feeling across such a diverse group of communities''.
Senator Brandis said on Monday that the problem with the current law was that it dealt with racial vilification in "the wrong way" by "political censorship".
"People do have a right to be bigots, you know,'' Senator Brandis said.
