18c 18d and the rest of the RD Act

[Rorschach]

Andrew Bolt was found "guilty of breaches" under 18c of the Racial Discrimination act.
All Bolt was trying to point out is that some people of mixed racial heritage seem to want to ignore parts of it in favour of others. Hardly a point one could consider racial abuse or offensive.

Shouldn't Mike Carlton be taken to task over his latest anti-semitic atrocity.
Wouldn't the luvvies be up in arms about that.
Let's see Mike hauled before the Racial discrimination court.

Mike Carlton is an Fwit. Only people like mantra read his crap. Was he anti-Semitic? I thought he got sacked for telling people to fuck off. LOL

Anyway. Can you (or Aussie) cut and paste the relevant bits from 18c/18d here or at least link to them. Thanks.

I did a search for 18D and this is all I could find.

Sorry to inform you, SN, but size 18D is ginormous. That pic is more a 10B. THIS is 18D.

Thank you for the correction.

Big girl.

Thank you for the correction.

Big girl.

Check your wife's underwear labels.

I have check in two different realities.

In my dreams she is the girl I posted.
In reality more like the one you posted.

But in both they are 18Ds.

And... I didn't find that offensive at all.

Oh goody...

Mike Carlton's column and SMH cartoon: racist complaint lodged
Racial vilification alleged under section 18C, but complaint unlikely to succeed as instigator is reportedly not Jewish. Oh that's just racist....

A complaint alleging racial vilification of Jews under 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act has been lodged about the Sydney Morning Herald’s publication of a cartoon and a column about Israel last month.

Under Section 18C it is unlawful “to do an act that is reasonably likely to ‘offend, insult, humiliate or intimidate’ someone because of their race or ethnicity”, the Human Rights Commission says.

The cartoon, by Glen Le Lievre, has been retracted and the paper apologised for publishing it after Jewish leaders said it was racist. It seems some Jews did indeed complain.

It has been removed from Fairfax Media websites and the Herald’s editor-in-chief, Darren Goodsir, admitted it was a serious error of judgment to publish it.

The paper has stood by the Mike Carlton column even though its author has since resigned over comments he made to some readers in emails and on Twitter.

However, it is possible that the complaint will be thrown out because it is understood that the complainant – said to be Wayne Karlen, a constant critic of the paper on Twitter – is not Jewish.

According to the act: “Only an ‘aggrieved person’ may lodge a complaint. In the case of the racial hatred provisions, an aggrieved person is someone from the group targeted by the behaviour who is offended, insulted, humiliated or intimidated because of his or her race.” Time for the Jews to step up then and not sit back and take it like most Conservatives do, so very often.

The law also allows for fair comment, including by the media which is allowed to present “fair and accurate reporting on any matter of public interest”.

This last exception enables the media to report on public issues, such as racial incitement or racially offensive conduct. It also allows editorial opinions and the like, providing they are published without malice.

Karlen has been talking on Twitter about using 18C against the Herald since the column and cartoon appeared last month.

The Australian reported on Thursday that Karlen “decided to lodge the complaint on Tuesday after the ABC’s Media Watch defended the cartoon and Carlton the night before”. The ABC defend a LW lunatic and anti-semitism... surely not...?

Karlen told the Australian: “The suggestion by the public broadcaster and others that this cartoon is acceptable must be refuted in the strongest terms and those responsible for its dissemination must be held responsible.

“The publication of this cartoon has caused offence to and racially vilifies Jews and was done to portray Jews as murderers of men, women and children for entertainment. The publication of this cartoon has caused intimidation and contributed to the Jewish community becoming afraid for their safety living in Australia and has offended their friends and supporters.”

However, Media Watch did not defend the cartoon on Monday night’s program. “Now we agree that that cartoon went too far,” it said.

Carlton said he knew nothing about the complaint.

Sean Aylmer, Fairfax Media’s group director for news and business media, has said the Carlton column of 26 July was “fine” but the way Carlton responded to readers was “totally inappropriate”.

The government recently did an about-turn on its promise to repeal the 18C provision, angering the News Corp columnist Andrew Bolt who was found guilty of breaching the Racial Discrimination Act over two articles he wrote in 2009 headlined “It’s so hip to be black” and “White fellas in the black”.

Bolt was sued in the federal court by nine Aboriginal people who alleged the Herald Sun articles implied light-skinned people who identified as Aboriginal did so for personal gain.

Mike Carlton in the Sydney Morning Herald falsely accuses Jews collectively of a genocide:
The onslaught is indiscriminate and unrelenting, with but one possible conclusion: Israel is not fighting the terrorists of Hamas. In defiance of the laws of war and the norms of civilised behaviour, it is waging its own war of terror on the entire Gaza population of about 1.7 million people. Call it genocide, call it ethnic cleansing: the aim is to kill Arabs… It is a breathtaking irony that these atrocities can be committed by a people with a proud liberal tradition of scholarship and culture, who hold the Warsaw Ghetto and the six million dead of the Holocaust at the centre of their race memory.

Mike Carlton abuses one of many Jews writing to protest by peddling an offensive stereotype:

You’re the one full of hate and bile, sunshine. The classic example of the Jewish bigot. Now f. k off.

Tim Soutphommasane is our Race Discrimination Commissioner. He’s supposed to be red-hot in denouncing racism. But, then again, he’s a former Labor staffer and Carlton is a darling of the far Left. And anti-Semitism is the fashionable racism of the Left. Maybe I’m too hard on Tim, but give me a better explanation for his refusal to criticise Carlton on the ABC (from 14:10):

Commentators you would hope would be cantankerous or controversial… Obviously Fairfax decided to take some action against him. Look, I’m agnostic on this.

With so many in the Left it is not the principle that counts but the side.

On the same show, Jonathan Green, a fellow Leftist on the ABC, denounces the real crime - that wicked Murdoch journalists noticed Carlton acting like a barbarian:

We have to salute the really hard work here of News Ltd too in rounding up those emails and drawing them to Fairfax’s attention. They’ve really prosecuted this with a great zeal… They’ve had a very active role in it.

UPDATE

Mike Carlton claims he’s victim of a Jewish conspiracy - and a Murdoch one. No wonder mantra likes him... That neatly pairs the two fashionable hate figures of the deranged Left:

Carlton says there’s no doubt there was a co-ordinated campaign to oust him by the Jewish lobby in Australia. “That was twinned by a campaign by News Corp?—?because they hate my guts, but also because it destroyed a rival columnist. And now, Fairfax has handed News Corp that present, gift-wrapped.”

Tim Blair punctures another Carlton fancy:

Former SMH columnist Mike Carlton thanks his supportive colleagues:

“I’d like to thank my colleagues at the Herald for the massive support they’re giving me right now.”

Don’t be too sure of that, Mike:

It was Mike Carlton’s own colleagues who sealed his fate, complaining about his abusive behaviour towards readers to Fairfax Media’s news and business publisher, Sean Aylmer.

Despite Carlton claiming he had vast support at The Sydney Morning Herald, and his downfall was a result of the “Israel lobby”, The Australian can reveal a number of Fairfax employees went to Aylmer with evidence of Carlton’s abusive comments, including one where he told a reader to “f. k off"…
As usual, Carlton is wrong. His misfortunes are entirely self-inflicted.


UPDATE

Gerard Henderson:

IT’S not surprising that The Sydney Morning Herald finally moved to discipline its Saturday columnist Mike Carlton. What’s surprising is that it took so long to do so.

Carlton has been a rabid dog and liar for most of his time at the SMH. One would hardly call any of his columns anything but biased rantings and fantasies.
