Just Words - The Live Event  - sponsored by Audiocraft

To celebrate the success of Just Words, 2SER 107.3 has teamed up with Audiocraft to present a live listening event at 107 Projects this Thursday May 18th

We are excited to announce that we will be joined on the night by special live guest Jeremy Jones, Director of International & Community Affairs at the Australia/Israel & Jewish Affairs Council (AIJAC). Jones is no stranger to 18C – in fact, he has filed the most cases under the Racial Discrimination Act in Australia, using 18C to protect the Jewish community against anti-Semitism and Holocaust denial. 

Join the 2SER team as we record the final episode of Just Words live on stage,  and put 18C on trial  one last time, to determine if our race hate laws really did murder free speech.

A low lying fence and a prejudiced neighbour see years of racial slurs rain down on an Aboriginal family. So how does 18C help to end racial abuse for everyday Australians? 

In  2SER's last episode of Just Words, we look at a little known 18C case that plays out in the front yards of a suburban street in Western Australia.

White Bigot Fence

This is the story of what happens when a free speech advocate attempts to use 18C to restrict what another person can say.  




In August 2016, Liberal Democrat David Leyonhjelm was interviewed on the ABC’s Insiders where he said offence is always taken, not given and if you don’t want to be offended by something that is up to you.




Fairfax journalist Mark Kenny happened to be watching that very interview and decided to test Leyonhjelm’s proposition to the fullest.




The result was a colourful 18C case that showed just how the law is working.

Angry White Men

On March 30, a  late-night debate  in the Senate saw the  Government's attempt to change section 18C of the  Racial Discrimination Act reach defeat, after an alliance by Labor, Greens, Nick Xenophon’s team and Jacqui Lambie, voted down the proposed changes - 31 to 28.This means that the plan to remove ‘offend, insult or humiliate” from section 18C and replace it with the term “harass” will no longer go ahead. Although we do expect to see some changes to the processes of the Human Rights Commission.Just Words producer Myles Houlbrook-Walk spoke to Senator David Leyonhjelm on March 21,  a week prior to the bills defeat.

Podcast EXTRA - Senator David Leyonhjelm on 18C - 'offence is taken and not given'

Just Words spoke to 18C plaintiff Jeremy Jones, who has used racial hatred laws to fight anti-Semitism since the section was introduced over 20 years ago.
Jones is concerned that the proposed draft laws will open the flood gates when it comes to racist speech. He says the Coalition Government's plan to remove 'offend, insult and humiliate' and replace it with the term 'harass', as well as to more narrowly define the term 'intimidate' is a sign of 'immoral' leadership.Will the proposed changes to 18C still capture the concept of Holocaust denial?Just Words producer Anthony Dockrill spoke to Jeremy Jones, Director at the Australian Israel and Jewish Affairs Council on Wednesday 22 March, the day after Malcolm Turnbull flagged changes to Australia's race hate laws.

Podcast EXTRA - Will the reforms to 18C capture Holocaust deniers?

On March 21, Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull announced a potential watering down of the controversial Section 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act.
Under the proposal the words “offend, insult, humiliate” will be replaced by “harass”.
The reforms were debated in the Senate on Tuesday, but little attention has been given to proposed procedural changes to the Australian Human Rights Commission, which will not only apply to 18C complaints but all complaints of discrimination handled by the Commission, including, sex, age, disability and race.Experts say this could make it more difficult for vulnerable members of the community to make complaints of vilification and discrimination.Just Words  host Nic Healey spoke to  Luke McNamara, Professor of Law from the University of New South Wales about the proposed 18C reforms and what they could really mean.

Podcast EXTRA  - Changes to 18C?

It’s a case that asks more questions than it answers. In 2013, three non-Indigenous students walked into an Indigenous computer lab. What happened next nobody could have predicted. The court documents tell you that the case was Cynthia Prior against the Queensland University of Technology and three students. But the media conducted their own trial, and put the Human Rights Commission on the stand.

Prior v QUT

Just Words is an investigative series by 2SER 107.3FM,  where we go behind the hype and headlines of our race laws and get the true stories from those who have used the Racial Discrimination Act and those that have had it used against them.  

Section 18C is the part of the Racial Discrimination Act that makes it illegal to offend, insult, humiliate or intimidate someone because of their race. So will removing 18C  really give people the right to be bigots?

An original 2SER podcast launches Monday 27th February 2017. The seven part series is hosted by Nic Healey. New episodes are released each week.
