No more sledging or name calling under proposed laws


CLA chief executive officer Bill Rowlings has lashed out at the proposed amendments to anti-discrimination laws which make it unlawful to "offend" people.

His attack follows ABC chairman Jim Spigelman's scathing appraisal this week – he said that the laws could breach our international obligations to freedom of speech.

Mr Rowlings highlighted the absurd things that such laws could cover.

"If you said the word (Juliar) to Ms Gillard's face, she might take you to court under proposed anti-discrimination laws, for she would surely find it personally offensive," he said.

Mr Rowlings said calling Mr Abbott a misogynist could create similar problems, as could sledging.

"This anti-discrimination stuff is dangerous. To stay safe, you really have to shut your mouth," he said.

it's just a stupid, moronic law by someone who is either that far removed from reality, or is just seeking some media attention.

It'll only take one clown to sue someone and they will very quickly change or ammend that law
