Two Tucabia residents have been jailed for contempt of the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal and sentenced to nine months jail in Victoria after refusing to remove offensive material from their protest website. A warrant for the arrest of Vivienne Legg and Dyson Devine was issued on November 28, 2007 after a lengthy court battle was launched by Brent Gray and David Bottrill, members of a religion called Ordo Templi Orientis (OTO), in the States anti-discrimination court.

The court found Legg and Devine guilty under the Racial and Religious Tolerance Act anti-discrimination legislation pertaining to racial and religious vilification after they published information on their website, gaiaguys.

…Legg and Devine failed to comply with the court orders, and in court documents dated November 28, 2007, Honour Judge Harbison said neither respondents (Legg and Devine) intends to remove the material from the website in compliance with the order and the two were to be arrested and sentenced to nine months jail.
