Not five posts up you kind of hinted that it would be OK for a sports figure to be fired for kneeling during the National Anthem!

143

I was throwing what lib have said right here on this forum on thousand occasion back at em. If you’re not paying attention to what your side has said is not my problem Jay.

Read the forum Jay…and pay close attention to what your said had said. Who knows…you just might find it eye opener. :wink:

144

How about you respond to what I said and not some mythical monolithic bloc. I’m not WestAussie or anyone else. I’m me

Would it be right for a sports figure to be fired for kneeling during the National Anthem?

Yes or no.

145

Exactly what does banned mean in this context? I can’t specifically recall whether you have questioned my participating on this forum But rest assured there has been more than one poster on this forum that has questioned whether I should be participating on this forum.

With respect to your question in your post I am not sure who “they” are.

146

Content Jay…Australian goverment verse team own.

Content Jay, what I believe in verse what libs been saying here on this very forum?

147

I suspect that JayJay from what I have read of his posts would be on the opposite of the political divide to me…

148

Your post indicates that you don’t understand how the Australian Federal parliament works.

149

Is this not your post?

Now follow the discussion.

This is wiki on your law concerning Section 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act 1975

Offensive behaviour because of race, colour or national or ethnic origin

(1) It is unlawful for a person to do an act, otherwise than in private, if:

(a) the act is reasonably likely, in all the circumstances, to offend, insult, humiliate or intimidate another person or a group of people; and

(b) the act is done because of the race, colour or national or ethnic origin of the other person or of some or all of the people in the group.

Note: Subsection (1) makes certain acts unlawful. Section 46P of the Australian Human Rights Commission Act 1986 allows people to make complaints to the Australian Human Rights Commission about unlawful acts. However, an unlawful act is not necessarily a criminal offence. Section 26 says that this Act does not make it an offence to do an act that is unlawful because of this Part, unless Part IV expressly says that the act is an offence.

(2) For the purposes of subsection (1), an act is taken not to be done in private if it:

(a) causes words, sounds, images or writing to be communicated to the public; or

(b) is done in a public place; or

(c) is done in the sight or hearing of people who are in a public place.

(3) In this section:

"public place " includes any place to which the public have access as of right or by invitation, whether express or implied and whether or not a charge is made for admission to the place.

The real cost to our communities and prison system is due to not enforcing our immigration laws. This is what Democrats should be working on, not relieving the anxiety to illegals for being caught. In one state alone the state prisons contain the following. Being state prisons, they are not there for crossing the border illegally…but what they do once they cross.

"As reported by the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS), 251,000 criminal aliens have been booked into local Texas jails between June 1, 2011 and April 30, 2018, according to DHS status indicators. These criminal aliens were charged with:

More than 663,000 criminal offenses;
1,351 homicides;
7,156 sexual assaults;
9,938 weapons charges;
79,049 assaults;
18,685 burglaries;
79,900 drug charges;
815 kidnappings;
44,882 thefts;
4,292 robberies."

I understand your goverment allows what you can or cannot say.

152

I am not sure what point you were trying to make.

153

I repeat your post shows a lack of understanding of how my country’s federal parliament works.

154

I asked for a straight answer from you.

I get what you’re trying to say to me.

Now I am asking for a direct answer

Shouldn’t be too hard for a defender of the Constitution…amirite?

155

What were the other almost 417,000 other criminal offences that you haven’t listed?

156

Sorry…I see I’m wasting my time. Have a good day.

157

Jay…out of 15 years here have you ever seen me advocating more laws, regulations of banning stuff?

Ever Jay?

Think about it.

158

What we know is that they weren’t for border crossings or other immigration offenses, as that is not a state offense. The listed crimes are state crimes and that is the state prison system.

159

Thank you for acknowledging that you don’t understand how the federal Australian parliament works.

@JayJay

How many time have you seen where libs say you have a right to say it but you have no right to be protected from it consequences?

Now go back to original post, where I was being sarcastic.

161

Or maybe you don’t understand how your goverment operates.

Ever thought about that?

Of course not…libs know all.
