(2) It is not necessary for a contravention that a person actually be incited. The
test is an objective one.
(3) It is not sufficient that the speech, conduct, or publication concerned
conveys hatred towards, serious contempt for, or serious ridicule of
homosexuals; it must have the capacity or effect of inciting such emotions
in an ordinary member of the class to whom it is directed.
(4) If there is specific evidence about the audience, it will be necessary to
make a finding of fact as to the nature of the audience to whom the public
act is directed.
(5) It will also be necessary to consider whether the public act would reach the
mind of an ordinary member of that audience as something that would
encourage the requisite emotion.
COMPLAINTS OF HOMOSEXUAL VILIFICATION
Introduction
29 The period of the complaint is 9 November 2012 to 2 January 2013. Mr Burns
complains that several publications on a blog www.johnsunol.blogspot.com.au, and letters and emails Mr Sunol wrote,

grammatical errors. In some cases we have included immediate context and
bolded the relevant parts. As was said in the Tribunal's 2012 decision at [32],
the message that the publication conveys must be determined in isolation,
without reference to the messages conveyed by any of the other publications.
But each publication must be read in context.
