What is the solution, then, for adults who print and tout as fact libelous and slanderous lies? Is there no recourse for people who are accused in the media?
I don’t know that this law is the answer but I think the issue is important.
Let’s look at it like this:
What if you recognise the flaw of Islam, and want to criticise their culture and faith? In Australia today, doing so could get you in trouble with the rights commissions.
A far more serious threat would be a Muslim nutjob tracking you down and attempting an assassination. Without anonymity, none of the above can be done safely.
