Kookoo:gzt:You are making the same claim a second time. Can you provide any convincing example?Of course not. It's a new law, there have been no examples yet. And even after the law is passed, you don't need examples of actual complaints. Once in place, anyone who wants to air criticism of religions (all or one of them) will have to pause and ask themselves - "Am I prepared to deal with a potential Hate Speech complaint to the HRC against me, no matter how unsbustantiated it is?" This will have a chilling effect on the freedom of speech,
I really don't think so. I will take one of your earlier examples and make it more specific. Christopher Hitchens. Specifically, his book "God Is Not Great". This is available in bookshops and libraries around the country. I have not read the whole thing. I'd be very surprised if any content in there rises to the level envisioned by the law as hate speech. I'd suggest some concerned person like yourself or the FSC pick one up immediately and begin the complaints process.
