Tahu calls 16yo a "black c***" -allegedly

[stormbati]

So it's ok to say it if you're both black men but it's racism at it's worst if a white man says it. Ok then. :roll:

Weird that, but I guess it would be like a fat person calling another fatboy.

 

[_snafu_]

either that or he no reason to confront the guy

so in your opinion he is guilty until proven innocent ?

Of course not.

The NRL anti vilification code requires the parties conciliate a complaint. Tahu may deny that he said what is alleged, but he cannot deny that a complaint has been made - it is the complaint that requires him to go through the process.

If someone was Summonsed to appear in Court and they didn't show because they thought "well I didn't do it so I won't bother going", they may well be right, but I bet the failure to attend Court would likely result in a bench warrant being issued.

It doesn't require conciliation it allows conciliation

"The reason why vilification codes are written is to allow conciliation and to allow complaints officers to try and get parties together," ARL chief executive Geoff Carr said.

big difference

and comparing it to a court of law is drawing the long bow as the conciliation is not mandatory
