Changing the criminal law to combat racially motivated violence
Recently, I wrote an article in a state newspaper calling for the introduction of hate crime legislation in the wake of the Cronulla riots late last year. In response, I received many emails, letters and phone calls from disgruntled members of the community wishing to convey their utter dismay at what they saw as my pugnaciousness against against White Australians. However, my real fame came when my name was posted on a white nationalist website calling upon members of the community to contact me. Some accused me of attempting to dismantle White Australian society as we know it, while others said I had written a hate filled article that was yet another fierce attack on Australians of European descent. Moreover, what was consistent throughout all who contacted me was their willingness to vocalise their animosity towards Muslim and/or Lebanese Australinas
