[Madhatter]

Dave allan wouldn't be turning cos nothing he said or did would have been covered by this law. A dave allan sketch/joke wasn't/isn't meant to incite racial or religious hatred. Not liking a race or religion isn't the same as hating them. You speak of definitions, the border of where the law comes in will be a grey area, that area will be decided by government in each case as I understand it, but most things said will obviously not be meant to incite hatred. Abuse to you tink is just abuse, give some back. But start saying you should all be burned at a stake for being black and that’s definitely gone over the line and is what the bill is designed to stop; Hatred that most of you wouldn't find acceptable in our society. This bill will not deal with petty complaints of racism, it's meant to deal with terrorist groups, or groups that started the race riots, I really can't see the government letting the strength and seriousness of this law being watered down by dealing with petty crimes with it.
