equal rights, he should have the same treatment as if any one of us refused to do whatever it is he has done.

It's a storm in a teacup created by our media that loves a racial conflict to sell papers
I'm a firm on if you come to our country you go by our rules. If your asked to stand for the magistrate in court then you do so regardless of your religion. Imagine us doing that in there country. We would be lined up and shot.
Give him whatever treatment would be given to us
Thats a bit unfair, the media in this country would never do such things to sell papers/news services. We have respectable media services in this country!!
Sorry, I'm in Sydney, you? Lol

What if a person refuses to stand based on the belief that today's judges, who believe they are answerable to no one, do not deserve to be stood before when they enter the room?
I don't have a problem with authority, I have a problem with judges who do not do their job, and that problem would make it hard for me to show such a person respect. Staying out of jail might well be a driving force for not letting that problem arise but someone needs to make the judges accountable. Jeff Kennett tried to make Victorian Judges accountable for their actions and he got shot down in flames by the pricks.
Religion isn't an excuse for not standing but the guy has done and will continue to do things for show so I doubt his reason was religious anyway.
