despite 71% of the Tasmanian population voting against the bill these politicians rushed it through. “The laws will also prevent hate speech and offensive language against gender identity and intersex status.”
Smith asked, “Who gets to decide what is offensive language?”
“Someone’s feelings could be hurt by another person’s unintended remarks. Feelings are not a consistent, reliable or measurable benchmark for determining offense. Stating biological, scientific facts could potentially land people in big trouble with the new law,” Smith warned. [binary.org.au]

Governments have lost touch with the people that is plain to see. Yet when it comes time to vote and make a statement voters are continually loyal to the big 2 parties. The ludicrousness of Offensive Language or comments is that it only has to offend one person. It appears that freedom of thought is the only vestige left. For the moment anyway.

The public no longer matters. The elite knows what's best for us. Look at Brexit. The elite hate Trump because he stands in the way of their planned Global Government. Western democracy is dead.
