On 22nd May 2008 the Human Rights & Equal Opportunity Commission (HREOC) in Sydney sent a letter to Koala Net stating that they had received a complaint from an organisation calling itself British People Against Racial Discrimination (BPARD). BPARD felt that the entries on the Australian slang page referring to Poms were derogatory and offensive.
Koala Net disagrees and will not delete the entries unless forced to by an Australian court.
You can read full details of the complaint and Koala Net's reply:
