Mr C Bernardi is working furiously on Section 18C
Maybe is Mr Bernardi gets his way then Mr Shorten would not be taken to task by a Canberra Rector
Liberal senator Cory Bernardi has the backing of nearly every government backbench senator to re-write section 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act, but denies the move is a direct challenge to Malcolm Turnbull's authority.
The libertarian South Australian senator has kick-started the push to force changes to Section 18C, which makes it an offence to "offend, insult, humiliate or intimidate" a person.

Reforming 18c 'is not a priority'
Reforming section 18c of the Racial Discrimination Act is not going to create a single job, says Malcolm Turnbull.
The issue is a rallying point for conservative and libertarian senators and 20 senators have signed the petition. In total, 13 government senators and 7 crossbenchers have signed the motion.
While Mr Turnbull last year expressed sympathy for amending 18C, the Prime Minister said over the weekend that the change "isn't a priority. I'm not suggesting it isn't an important issue".
