Gay bloke with Arts degree? Sounds like ideal stereotype for the "Progessive" element in society.
Its called the Penny Wong law.

Wilson broke it.
Hypocrite yes but at least he is on the side of decency when it comes to Section 18c.

No, you've got the wrong bloke, he's one of the nutters who wants to repeal it so people can spew forth bile to their heart's content.
Unless that's what you meant by "decency".
No, I've got the right bloke. The one who spoke out against Orwellian nonsense when far too many were cowed by a baying crowd of lickspittles into silence.
“Nobody has the right to not be offended. That right doesn't exist in any declaration I have ever read.
If you are offended it is your problem, and frankly lots of things offend lots of people."

Poor old George would be rolling in his grave today, listening to the obnoxious right wing dingbats who constantly take his name in vain as they spew forth their indecent garbage.
And, of course, 18C posits a lot higher standard for "offend" than the penny ante crap Rushdie is talking about.
a) the act is reasonably likely, in all the circumstances, to offend, insult, humiliate or intimidate another person or a group of people;
As for penny Ante crap, getting a fatwa against you for offence is up there.
Orwell certainly wouldnt have any time for morons like Corbyn.

As you very well know, the law sets a fairly high bar for the meaning of "offend" in 18C, much higher than the type of "offending" that Rushdie is talking about; the fact that religious idiots issued a fatwa against him is irrelevant to that issue.
The "offending" that Rushdie did in his book would not have been enough to support a claim under 18C.
Nor would mere vulgar idiotic abuse of the sort you regularly trumpet forth from your cave about Corbyn and others.
The repeated attempts by right wing troglodytes to re-write history and to co-opt the lifelong Labour-supporting democratic socialist Orwell is one of the great ironies of our time, and really nothing more than a sign of the intellectual poverty of what passes for conservative "thought" these days.
So death threats are less serious than being insulted or humiliated? Great logic.
So you cant call an anti semite an anti semite?
Your momentum types and Corbyn lovers despise Orwell and see him as a reactionary snitch.

18C is not relevant to the normal criminal law, despite your pretzel logic.
Yes, you can, but not if you're just regurgitating desperate, really really stupid propaganda lies, as you do.
So what?
So, back where we were before you started flitting around and deflecting like a mentally deficient hummingbird; Orwell would have rolled over in the grave at the thought of you and your ilk hijacking him to support a political philosophy he utterly despised.
Jeremy Corbyn has told MPs investigating accusations of antisemitism in the Labour party that he regrets once calling members of Hamas and Hezbollah “friends”.

You ought to change your name to Mortein
"When you're on a good lie - stick to it"
George just did another 360 degree roll in his grave.
Amusing that Orwell's list contained those who actually worked for the USSR and also that Corbyn has been accused of being a Czech agent.

"Now watch me make it illegal for people to boycott businesses."
meh, completely different. Free speech has never included impinging on property rights ie slander and libel.
You cant have a bunch of mung bean eaters blocking entrances to businesses etc.
Plenty of well-established laws to deal with said soy-boys that don't require further regulation.
Morrison is talking about laws criminalising businesses and people withholding their custom from other businesses. Stupendously illiberal - but then you've always been one to observe in the breach.
Not sure how you do that. I dont like Burger King. I havent eaten there for years. You may even call it a boycott. Not sure how you are going to have a crack at me over that? I havent followed this closely but I cant see how such a thing would work in reality?
On the other hand giving out criminal sentences to vegans for boycotting butchers would be rather amusing

He’s desperate to get a promotion to the ministry, which will never happen under Morrison unless he undertakes conversion therapy with his church/cult
