This article examines whether racially derogatory cartoons are capable of infringing Part IIA of the Racial Discrimination Act 1975 (Cth). In particular, it examines the exemption of ‘artistic work’ in section 18D, which depends on the artistic work being published ‘reasonably’. Courts have struggled to apply the concept of ‘reasonableness’ to cartoons, noting that cartoons are exaggerated by their nature and that they often convey political messages.

种族贬义漫画和种族诽谤法：界限在哪里？

本文探讨了带有种族歧视意味的卡通片是否能够违反 1975 年种族歧视法（联邦）的第 IIA 部分。特别是，它审查了第 18D 节中“艺术作品”的豁免，这取决于“合理”出版的艺术作品。法院一直在努力将“合理性”的概念应用于漫画，并指出漫画的性质被夸大了，而且它们经常传达政治信息。
