Bhajji never had any problem. Pointing and symmond told lies and tried to frame bhajji to play a mind game to win the match. Now symmond is bagging for money from India.

From Harbhajan's point of view, his abusing Symonds' mother is less severe than calling him "Monkey ".As if Harbhajan knew that calling someone Monkey is an offence in Australia !!

In Australia any comment that could be construed as being racist can be subject to criminal sanction. If you make a racist statement about someone's mother the same would apply. If you make a statement, foul or fair, about someone's mother with no racial, religious or sexual orientation overtones then that would not be subject to sanction although you could have an action for libel against that person. If I said to H Singh "go and wash that filthy rag on your head" that might get me in trouble with the thought police in Australia because it might be of religious nature. But if I said to H Singh "your mother is the ugliest woman I have seen and has a face a like a bulldog chewing a wasp" then they wouldn't care less.
