Q. Do you approve or disapprove of the Government’s plan to change the Racial Discrimination Act so that it is no longer unlawful to “offend, insult or humiliate” someone because of their race or ethnicity? It will still be unlawful to “intimidate or vilify” someone because of their race or ethnicity.
