The Government plans to introduce a bill to change the wording of section 18C, saying "insult" and "offend" are too subjective and the word "harass" is a more legal term. The Prime Minister has insisted replacing the other terms with "harass" would make the law more effective and less restrictive. The Ethnic Communities Council of Victoria is calling for ethnic communities to rise up against proposed changes to Section 18C of Australia's Racial Discrimination Act. The council is urging Victoria's ethnic and multicultural communities to lobby the Federal Government to prevent the proposed changes from happening.
