Word 'n----r' not offensive: magistrate
The words "n*gger" and "sand-n*gger" are not offensive to reasonable people, a Queensland magistrate has ruled.
Magistrate Michael O'Driscoll made the ruling yesterday in a case where a retiree was before Southport Magistrates Court after sending a strongly-worded fax to a local politician.
Christie Turner, a staff member working for the politician, was offended when she read the fax from Denis Mulheron which called on the Labor Party to strengthen immigration laws against "n*ggers", "sand-n*gger terrorists" and Muslim women who have been circumcised.
He also referred to indigenous Australians as "Abos", the Gold Coast Bulletin reports.
Mr Mulheron defended his language, telling the court: "I'm not a member of the cafe, chardonnay and socialist set ... to me that is everyday language".
Mr O'Driscoll said that the language used in the fax was not strong enough to be punishable.
"The words used were crude, unattractive and direct but were not offensive to a reasonable person," he said.
GOOD JOB SUSHI! Queensland just made us a laughing stock... again!

well, to be fair, if we charged citizens for displaying rampant ignorance each time they engaged with a public body, half the country would be in the slammer.
like that stupid fucking cow on Q&A last night, that wasted her big chance to talk to the country's leader, by quizzing the PM on an atheist swearing an oath on the bible...because the stupid old bint had never heard of affirming. fuck i raged. may as well have asked her what her favourite colour was.

If Tony Abbot wins there are 2 options
1: Leave the country
2: Take advantage of the place turning into a 3rd world waste-land by raping any woman i see,. Since they can't have abortions when they get pregnant, after a while i'll have an army of kids who will do my bidding and i could take over the place after it's burned to the ground (which if he gets power shouldn't be too long!)
