We don't need another envoy

We don’t need another highly-paid headline-grabing divisive envoy. What we need is to prosecute the media outlets, journalists and shock-jocks who are applying these labels in a racist way. If the race relations laws are not fit for purpose, then they need to be fixed and quickly.

Also there should be a penalty for blocking up the court system with expensive defence of frivoulous claims. I suspect they are tax-deductible, otherwise why go to the expense?
