You'd think - again, see Bolt - that existing damages laws would take care of it i.e. if you say something untrue about a company they can sue you. If it is true then there's no problem airing it. <br /><br />What about that Jewish coffee chain who've been subject to store front protests? I take it there's no "anti-Israel" exception to the law?

A few years ago he had some clients who were obviously the advance party for the greens now infesting the inner suburbs. It was all going beautifully until these clients insisted that my friend not use any rain-forest timber in their windows, source a specified softwood from a sustainable source and provide evidence of his goodness and niceness in a certificate. <br />“No problems” my friend replied “I will attach the certificate in the contract in the same place where the warranty would normally be found”.<br />Clients aghast!!!<br />My friend explained that the timber they were specifying had very poor rot and pest resistance, so the normal ten year warranty would be reduced to six months.<br />Greenies threatened to take my friend to VCAT, ACCC, the High Court, the World Environment Court etc, wanting their specified timber AND the full warranty.<br />They finally returned, tail twixt legs, when they got the same response from every joiner in town.<br /><br />And this typifies the Greenie response – “I have high standards, which you must pay for.”<br /><br />To paraphrase G.
