Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The Abbott government’s plan to amend sections 18C and 18D – the race hate laws – of the RDA ignited fierce public debate and came to nought. Beneath the politicking and the cut and thrust of the public debate lay three more enduring factors explaining why the government’s proposed reforms of the RDA were a lost cause publicly and, as happened in this case, politically. First, in challenging the state regulation of citizen relations at all, the classical libertarian position of Human Rights Commissioner Tim Wilson and his former employer, the Institute of Public Affairs, was always unlikely to resonate much in Australia, which some have called a ‘Benthamite society’. Second, Attorney-General George Brandis’ more moderate, civil libertarian stance also faced a ‘perception’ difficulty in that his insistence on the need to ‘balance’ freedom of speech and protection against the incitement to racial hatred is precisely what the RDA’s racial vilification provisions had been designed to achieve and, for some sixteen years, had been generally applauded for achieving. Third, for ethnic minorities the anti-vilification provisions have immense symbolic as well as practical significance. As Australian multiculturalism is largely about non-discrimination and common citizenship rights, their sense of acceptance and belonging is largely tied to the legal protections against discrimination. This contrasts with the Canadian situation, where repeal in 2013 of a race hate provision in the Canadian Human Rights Act scarcely excited minorities, whose sense of belonging is sustained by a much more extensive conception and inclusive practice of multiculturalism.

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
