I would call a cop right now as I have been really vilified by you. I am neither rich nor vindictive and there is no such legislation where I live. However that is an example of how it could be used to shut up people. I really didn't think you would stoop to such tactics. If you argue like a mensch and not vilify, we can continue.
Words can kill.
As Prof.Irwin Cotler quoted in his B. B'rith Oration, the holocaust did not start in the gas chambers,- it finished there. We definitely need anti-racial vilification legislation in Australia. Under the guise of freedom of speech we are getting the media spreading the hate-propaganda peddled by every bigot and racist in the country. Repeat a lie often enough, people will believe it. The media however, as I have just seen on Four Corners, in the USA can vilify anyone with impunity,- ruin reputations of innocent individuals without a skerrick of proof of guilt, under the guise of 'freedom of speech'.
