You're confused. There is no consititutional right to ba a racist in Australia. 13 year old learned a lesson; In Australia...you can't run your mouth without consequences. She chose to be at that function/game...if she couldnt comport herself to the rules of Australian society...she could go and kick rocks.
If you dont like Australia's rules...dont live there.
Well, that was attempted by writing the constitution/bill of rights in the US but it clearly didn't stop our people from trampling the laws of the land.
4th amendment? NSA/FBI/CIA do what they want without warrants.
2nd amendment? guns are banned more places than allowed, and have qualifiers to ownership despite it expressly allowing people to bear them and keep them.
1st amendment? We just saw that the DoJ doesn't respect that one either and illegally wiretapped a credentialed reporter and informant by Judge shopping.
The list goes on and on. Constitutionality might as well be replaced with Conditional.
The point is, just *****, complain, say they targeted you for being young and they are ageists/gender discriminating and you are on equal footing to the pathetically offended minority.
Who actually follows the law in 2013? No one does, she is 13 and in this new era of optional societal rules.

Why are you speaking in abstract? Tell me which constitutional right you have been denied? How has the fedederal govenment restricted your 1st, 2nd, or 4th amendment rights?
Has the IRS restricted your claim to deductions on you income tax form?
Has the FBI unfairly or unjustly targeted you?
If the NSA has listened into any of your phone converstions...Did your representative vote for the Patriot Act?
You can't very well claim your constitutional rights are null and void if no one in the federal government has restricted you from any of your rights.
Seems you still have the right to rant and rail...all the while safe and protected by the very constitution that you say no longer exists...
An FYI, I just got off Skype with my Australian business partner. He just worked four 16 hour days straight.
His first words to me were "Jesus, I'm shattered".
Now obviously he's not literally lying on the ground in pieces. It's one of those words that has lost it's original meaning, that people use all the time over there. Same with abused. Aussies don't use those words the same way you might. So a direct translation doesn't really work.

The event happened in Australia, not the USA. A 13 year-old here in the USA might have freedom of speech. However, it comes with responsibility. If you are being disruptive and cruel, then you can be thrown out of a private establishment. You can't be thrown in prison for saying racial slurs in America, but if in a private establishment, the officials of that establishment can through you out for being disruptive.
Has this man recovered from his wounds yet or does his treatment continue?
