Ask those who want to repeal section 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act : just what is it you want to say, exactly? The Parliamentary Joint Committee on Human Rights inquiry into freedom of speech in Australia has perhaps a misleadingly broad title. As Zaahir Edries, Muslim Legal Network New South Wales branch President, pointed out at the February 1 hearing in Sydney, the inquiry only concerns itself with the effects of section 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act on freedom of speech and not, say, defamation or counterterrorism law.
