'Witch complaint under Victoria's Racial and Religious Vilification Law'

Stop this law now

Andrew Bolt, Herald Sun column, Wednesday 27 April 2005 "ROBIN Angus Fletcher, the jailed pedophile, is using the Bracks Government's notorious hate-speech laws to punish Christians who say his Wiccan religion is bad. Bad? How could witchcraft be bad, Fletcher complains from Ararat jail. How, when he's said it permits him to have rough sex with drugged and hypnotised young girls? Man, for a pedophile, that's a religion that rocks. Fletcher isn't the first witch or crank to use these religious vilification laws against free speech to silence Christians, to the belated alarm of our churches. But even the Government must now see it's made a terrible mistake. Its laws have -- just as I predicted -- turned out to be a menace, and must be repealed. . . "
