Bernardi introduces race-hate bill despite Turnbull's view

Senator Bernardi has moved the bill on behalf of several Government colleagues as well as crossbenchers including Pauline Hanson and Derryn Hinch. The bill seeks to remove the words "offend" and "insult" from section 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act. Despite the Government and Labor saying they have no intention of changing the laws, some in parliament think the change may yet happen.
