MODERATORS
They don't want criticism. This is completely legal in Australia and they already have laws about personal defamation in case it crosses the line. This is non-starter in my book.
Here's your starter: Anti-wind group sues planning minister and wind project owners, threatens public servants
Cookers threatening public servants for doing their jobs.
The article says if they followed the law they have nothing to fear. My guess is they have something to fear. Let us see how the law handles it before we destroy the right to criticize.
