My question is to the Attorney-General, Senator Brandis. I refer the Attorney-General to his celebration of bigotry in question time yesterday and his hastily conveyed press conference this morning. Is the Attorney-General familiar with Campbell v Kirstenfeldt, an action brought under section 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act in which the applicant had been subject to six separate acts of racial hatred language? Is the hate speech used in this case the speech that the Attorney-General wants to protect by repealing section 18C?
