linkA DISAGREEMENT between a fundamentalist Christian pig farmer and a transsexual soccer star is shaping as a test of the boundaries of political debate.
Exclusive Brethren pig farmer Roger Unwin faces a hearing in the Tasmanian Anti-Discrimination Tribunal over advertisements he authorised during this year's state election campaign.
The ads claimed Greens policies seeking rights for transgender people would "ruin our families and society". Hobart transsexual Martine Delaney lodged a complaint with the commission, arguing Unwin's ads breach anti-discrimination laws by inciting hatred against transgender people.
