From the Australian Jewish News:

Toben pulls apology, denial material remains on website
PETER KOHN

DESPITE a last-minute reversal, Adelaide Holocaust denier Dr Fredrick Toben will be held to an order from the Federal Court of Australia last week that he remove all material denying the Holocaust from his Adelaide Institute website by 4 pm on Wednesday (December 5).

Executive Council of Australian Jewry (ECAJ)’s Jeremy Jones, the successful applicant in a Federal Court of Australia hearing, told The AJN this week that Dr Toben’s apparent backdown from an apology he gave for his contempt of court last Tuesday did not alter the circumstances.

Dr Toben gave an unqualified apology to an Adelaide sitting of the Federal Court before Justice Michael Moore last Tuesday for being in contempt of a 2002 Federal Court order to remove offending material from the website
But writing on his website, he has since withdrawn the apology and has announced a halt to removing Holocaust denial material from the website.

In a posting, Dr Toben referred to last week’s story in The AJN and stated: “If the… interpretation is consistent with the consent order, then I hereby publicly state I am withdrawing from the consent agreement, and although I have begun deleting material from the website, as part of the undertaking given to the court and to the applicant, I am now stopping this action.”

Jones told The AJN that Dr Toben’s court statement “acknowledged that he had been in breach of orders and now what he is doing is stating there that he will be in contempt of further orders”.

Justice Moore last Tuesday set February 28 as a provisional date on which the court would reconvene if Dr Toben had not complied with the December 5 deadline but Jones said he hopes the court will examine any breaches earlier than that.
