Australia gets more and more draconian.

Australia To Deport Asylum Seekers Who Spit Or Swear, Draft Code Reveals

Asylum seekers should be deported for "irritating people, disturbing someone or spitting or swearing in public", according to the leaked draft of an Australia's Behaviour Code.

Holy crap... hope it never becomes law, but looking at the wacko right winger they elected then who knows.

 

[Tigger]

Sounds like a hell of a good start to that sort of Code, if you ask me.

 

[RabidAlpaca]

If Tigger applauds it, you can be sure it's an insanely authoritarian, fascistic law.

Australia To Deport Asylum Seekers Who Spit Or Swear, Draft Code Reveals

The left loves to take things out of context. When you read the whole thing it sounds a bit different.



According to the draft code: “To harass another person means to persistently or continually disturb or irritate them.

"To bully another person means to act in an unwanted or aggressive manner towards them, especially if you are in a more powerful position. Bullying includes making threats, spreading rumours, attacking someone physically or verbally, or excluding someone from a group or place on purpose.

"Antisocial means an action that is against the order of society. This may include damaging property, spitting or swearing in public or other actions that other people might find offensive.”

“Disruptive means to cause disorder or to disturb someone or something.”

The Greens senator Sarah-Hanson Young called it "clear discrimination against a specific group of people and it needs to be called out for what it is.”

You do realize how easy it is to meet the conditions? Most people on these boards could meet the conditions in the vocal debates going on. This stinks of Nazi type laws against undesirables.

There seems to be a lot of that going on lately.

Clear discrimination against asylum seekers as a specific group? Next she'll be calling it racist. All for the sake of politics.

Still sounds insane. According to what you just posted I would be deported because I am anti-social when in public and often exclude people on purpose.

I think what they don't want is people immigrating there and not assimilating. I was in an Armenian area of LA years ago and I went into a small store where they went out of their way to make me feel unwelcome since I was not "one of them". I think maybe that is what they don't want to happen down under.
