    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to support the amendment. One of the main reasons for this is: If you look at the words \"contempt, hatred and hostility\", it will occur to this House that those are words that are always personalised. They are rarely ever used objectively. It is often that when you use words that somebody thinks that they are intended to put him or her in contempt, the other person who is speaking thinks that he or she is merely joking. Sometimes, people become so intense that they think they are hated, when they are actually not. That applies equally to communities. This amendment is going to expose our country to the danger that the Attorney-General thinks that he is going to eliminate, because there will be extensive misunderstanding between the communities. There is sufficient legislation in this country to protect communities. The Constitution already says clearly that you cannot discriminate any person on account of gender, ethnicity or otherwise. This amendment is superfluous. It is merely trying to be used particulary during an election year, to be able to pinpoint people particulary those in the Opposition, for purposes of prosecution. I beg to support the amendment."
