Re: Australian Racism
Australia = Bad
UK = Good..... perhaps less 'good' if you fancy a beer in parts of London !

He also may have felt the whole thing was a waste of public funds, gave undue publicity to this silly fellow and was more bother than it was worth .

Re: Australian Racism
I rather think the judge looked at the overall picture and decided simply that on balance the chap could remain with his family and would be no further hindrance to future UK boat races.

Re: Australian Racism
There is zero chance, that any judge will stand up in court and say that he's allowed this clown to remain, because he thinks his wife might suffer prejudice in Australia.. none.

The difficulty is this can result in the judge inadvertently condoning bad behaviour and sends a message out to cry racism where it's not necessarily true or correct.

Re: Australian Racism
The funny thing is there are at least 3 of the most racist/bigoted people on BE sticking up for Australia as a none racist country. 
By the way I don't in anyway believe Australia to be anymore racist than the UK.

Re: Australian Racism
I certainly consider Australia to be more overtly racist and fall back on the 'its just a joke' defense. There is still a lot of growing up to do in Australia so hopefully that will change.
Papilon, the irony wasnt lost on me to be honest.
