search Query = feminist bookshop
Allegedly Illegal Webpages:
[redacted]
reason: this page is defamitory in nature to the feminist bookshop + it contains content wich is defamatory to the feminist bookshop, under Australian Internet law content that is defamatory cannot be published on the web.
The content could also be considered to be discriminatory "vilification" (Anti Discrimination Act (NSW)) against wemon in general and on the grounds of both political opinion and Homosexuality.
In NSW it is against the law to "make statements or remarks in a newspaper or journal, in other publications, or on the radio or television that vilify lesbians/gay men"
the web site in question is published by a person living in NSW so the law should apply.
