Attorney, I direct you to the following quote from Senator Canavan this morning on ABC:

People should be allowed to have a joke in this country—it's part of our Australian culture and way of doing things, I think—without being hauled before the courts.

Why is Senator Canavan's right to tell racist jokes more important than people's right to be free from the harms caused by racism?
