Extensions Needed Urgently

Alan Jones tells Tony Abbott that he has been subject to “vilification from the media class and pretty feral opposition in the Senate.”

I would like to point out that the Federal Anti-Vilification Act makes it “unlawful for a person to do an act, otherwise than in private, if the act is reasonably likely, in all the circumstances, to offend, insult, humiliate or intimidate another person or a group of people; and 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.”

I reckon Tony and Alan ought to start a movement to get this extended to acts done because of the stupidity, forgetfulness, egocentric nature, meanness or lack of irony of some or all of the people in the group.

Then they’d have a legal case to chase. Otherwise it’s just a case of calling a spade a fucking idiot.
