Brandis repealing section 18C, unravelling.

Senator Brandis' attempt at repealing section 18C of the Race Discrimination act is unravelling with members of his own party against such a move.
The attempt to appease their mate Andrew Bolt may yet back fire on them.

Coalition MPs are secretly defying Prime Minister Tony Abbott and Attorney-General George Brandis by drafting an alternative proposal for changes to the race hate laws.NSW backbencher David Coleman, who has a law degree, is understood to be drafting the alternative proposal. Senator Brandis' proposal to loosen the race hate laws – which was inspired by a legal case against the conservative commentator Andrew Bolt – involves repealing section 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act.

 This is what happens when you try and wind back legislation that was put in place to protect the minority and marginalised sections of our community. The very people that have little power and voice to fight back at well connected right wing media personalities.
