But the interesting case was the Adam Goodes incident, where a 14 year old girl was detained by Police, and then made a mockery of by the entire media. Something which I doubt the Police had the power to do, and where the media violated every law applicable to youth offenders (like the Sudanese gangs running amok in Melbourne). Plainly they could do so, because she wasn't really an offender against any law, and couldn't have been charged with anything.
Oh, and I forgot about the one example where you are 100% correct, namely the odd case of the ACT, where they now have blasphemy laws for anyone who offends Islam (but they haven't charged Pauline Hanson with anything yet).

Renato,
You can't be serious, there are blasphemy laws in the ACT that specifically cover blasphemy against Islam? What if.... there was an Islamic version of a "Pissed Christ" displayed in an ACT Gallery? What would be the ramifications of such a display and would a prosecution result?
