Now that he [Bernard Gaynor] is a civilian he can say whatever he likes with no consequences. 

This assertion is simply not true. Bernard Gaynor is being personal attacked, in his "civilian" capacity, in the NSW civil and administrative tribunal (NCAT), with a huge litany of "section 18c" charges/ cases (and another round quite recently are going into the first steps of "case conference", even AFTER the state of NSW Supreme Court ruled in the previous case (numerous charges, almost identical to the current series) that NCAT does NOT have jurisdiction over a (state of) Queensland resident, and threw out all those previous charges! In other words, NCAT is making a complete ass out of itself.) Section 18c is real (it exists), is really being used by a vexatious litigant in NSW, against Bernard Gaynor a resident of QLD, for expressing his personal ("conservative") views publicly. This is a direct personal and legal attack against Bernard Gaynor's right to express his views publicly, and this attack is only made possible due to Section 18c of the Anti Discrimination Act 1975. So section 18c is an abomination being actively used against the right of free speech in Australia. You may disagree, and you are entitled to your opinion and to express your opinion publicly, but almost without doubt, Australia's penultimate court the High Court, is going to rightly cut this piece of legislation down to size (we can certainly hope this will happen, and this would be a damn fine day for the legal upholding of free speech in Australia, if that's what happens). With full respect to your absolute right to --publicly-- express your emotionally unbalanced and stupid opinion, Zenaan On Mon, Sep 12, 2016 at 02:20:54PM +0800, Nadine Earnshaw wrote:

what he did wasn't criminal just dumb. He tried to pick a fight with the military force he was a part of.   lol

http://www.smh.com.au/comment/christian-army-officer-bernie-gaynor-pays-the-... "Gaynor half-won that argument but he over-stepped the army’s mark by using his private blog to wage a cultural war against what he calls politically correct policies. Eventually, Major-General A.J. Campbell requested his resignation, stating: ''In short, army does not share your views, which are both offensive and divisive and not in the interests of army or our people.'"  What i meant is that he is free to say what he wants and what was said was simply his opinion and there is nothing criminal. However if you criticize your employer in public expect to lose your job.  The whole thing with Bernie and the fighting for freedom of speech is crap.  Now that he is a civilian he can say whatever he likes with no consequences.

the bottom line is that assholes cant hide behind their vile and call it free speech and find protection

OK, to hear you, the examples by Bernard Gaynor - is the only "illegal" thing he said, the quote you gave - i.e. "I won't have my kids taught by homosexuals, and I'm not afraid to say that publicly"

or is there something else he "said publicly" which you say the courts should uphold as illegal "unprotected public speech"?

Thanks, Zenaan

im fine with finger pointing at the asshat and calling them out on being what they are i also believe in gun control and legal abortion.  encypt your conversations and be a dick in private with other dicksthis i think you have the right to.importantly that you have right to privacy. the right to be free, to talk openly in private without being monitored by others. this is what I think freedom of speech is.
