Where are the cartoonists to defend Leak?
Cartoonist John Spooner is astonished that so few fellow cartoonists have the courage or integrity to defend Bill Leak from the censor's eraser. And he disagrees with me on the best way for Leak to defend himself. (UPDATE: Another cartoonist attacked.)
The Australian shouldn't "justify" Leak's car...
The problem with The Australian's defence of Bill Leak's cartoon is that it already cedes the right to the censors to delete cartoons and articles they think are not justified. I'd prefer the lawyers to offer no defence but the defence of free speech in a free society.
Bill Leak right, says top cop
Bill Leak drew an Aboriginal drunk who did not remember his son's name. SBS told Leak to f... himself. The Race Discrimination Commission branded him a racist. Now the Human Rights Commission is investigating him. But WA's top police officer says the cartoon is an "accurate reflection" of reality - and has the evidence.
Why doesn't Turnbull say "je suis Bill Leak"?
Remember the crowds last year claiming to be appalled by the massacre of four cartoonists at the Charlie Hebdo magazine in Paris? Remember their chant of protest at the slaughter of those cartoonists and eight others by Islamists upset by their drawings? “Je suis Charlie” — I am Charlie — they lied.
Steyn: where are the Liberals to defend Leak?
The great Mark Steyn is appalled that Liberals -even those who say they're his fans - now won't defend the free speech of Bill Leak. And he's right: Leak should not defend the rightness of his cartoon but attack the foulness of those wanting to shut him up.
Mr Turnbull, tear down this law
The Turnbull Government and the Human Rights Commission should know that attacking Bill Leak's right to draw is the last straw for News Corp. Today's editorial in The Australian is a declaration of war: the wicked Racial Discrimination Act that has already silenced and cowed too many must change. Leak will be defended to the last.
Je suis Bill Leak: where is the Left now?
Tony Abbott damns the laws that now have cartoonist Bill Leak being taken to the Human Rights Commission - but where is the Left that once cried "Je suis Charlie"? I said then that they were lying. UPDATE: Leak is my guest on tonight's The Bolt Report.
Bill Leak latest victim of wicked race law
First two of my own articles were banned. Then seven Queensland students were sued by a staffer at their university for complaining that Aboriginal-only computers were racist. And now cartoonist Bill Leak is being attacked under this same wicked Racial Discrimination Act.
