Where’s the Prime Minister on the free speech crisis? : Comments

By Augusto Zimmermann, published 27/6/2019

The agnostic Latham defends freedom of religion and freedom of speech for Christians, but the Christian PM cowardly refuses to make a comment.

The reason why freedom of speech is no longer the keystone of western democracy, Augusto, is because of multiculturalism.

When both sides of parliament see the benefits of undermining democracy for their own ends, then democracy is in real trouble. The trick is to use immigration to "diversify" the electorate so much that the country becomes almost ungovernable. What was once traditionally considered to be right and wrong becomes completely fuzzy as imported groups with diametrically opposed value systems compete against each other at election times.

Both sides of parliament then compete with each other in saying nothing that could offend any group. Pollsters look at the different demographic voting blocks and advise politicians on what topics must be avoided at all costs.

Take freedom of speech. Muslims do not believe in freedom of speech and they support 18C. people who "identify" as "indigenous don't ;ole freedom of speech either because they don't want their lifestyle examined and criticised. But the most ardent advocates censorship today are the educated elite world savers who were once "liberals", but are now the Establishment. They don't want their new religion of multiculturalism criticised. The reason is, because just like any evangelical religion they think that their particular ideology is the only hope for mankind (sorry, personkind) and it is beyond criticism.

And there are quite a lot of them. Not only that, they are influential. Some of them are running corporations and media outlets like Facebook and YouTube and they have to power to shut down free speech. And they are doing just that.

Morrison's problem is the same for every western politician today, witht he exception of real leaders like Hanson, Farage, and Trump. Morrisons advisers are telling him that free advocating free speech could upset several demographic voting blocks that could cost him an election. The problem for Morrison is, that this issue is gaining in importance among the electorate and it can not be swept under the carpet any longer.

I think ScuMo has dictatorial ambitions. And I definitely think he was behind the police raids on journalists several weeks ago.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if it was revealed that he is in the pocket of the Chinese Communist Party. He does seem to be a great admirer of Zhi Jing Ping and a supporter of Chinese international expansionism even when such expansion looks to be fraught with aggressive imperialism. He does seem to me to be intent on giving control of the Australian economy to Chinese Communist Party supported corporations. And he did allow a Chinese fleet to enter an Australian harbour unannounced to the public, which basically said to Beijing 'You can come in anytime boys! It's all yours.'

Folau's freedom to speak and religious freedom just doesn't include taking three passages from the bible then misrepresenting them and or their accurate translation from the original Greek. Which when correctly translated just doesn't infer what Folau says it does!

Freedom of religion doesn't give anyone the right to impose flawed views or flawed brainwashed teaching on anyone. Moreover, there's absolutely no imperative for SoMo to defend Folau's religious rant/breach of contract!

Your religious (flat earth) beliefs are for you and you alone.

Folau is a fine footballer, not a theologian! And as a self-proclaimed biblical expert, doesn't know his ass from his elbow!

His religious rant, little more than hate speech and bigotry writ large. The God of love would never say what Folau say he said and the God of love alone decides who merits heaven! And given his bigotry, hate speech and latent homophobia. There's no guarantee that Folau will ever get there?

Not for nothing is it writ large, judge not and ye shall not be judged!

I read this article in The Spectator, and I agree with it, making comments on in it in the forum.

I agree with Mr. Opinion’s view of Morrison’s attitude to China. He is either a good friend of China, or he is frightened stiff of China. Just as he wouldn’t comment on Folau, he will not comment on China. Even Malcolm Turnbull spoke out against the China threat.

Morrison needs to realise that he is PM only because the thought of Labor was too awful to contemplate. The Liberal party needs to realise that it picked the wrong man. Dutton was the obvious tough guy we need.

Alas, Mr. Morrison doesn’t appear to believe in anything or stand for anything of use to Australia

Freedom of speech means supporting the right of others to say things you don't agree with.
