Proof that legislation will make no difference as long as it is not enforced - as it has not been by both members of the uniparty. Note that both of the parties are in lockstep with the latest proposals that won't be enforced. Police and prosecutors can do only what they are allowed to do.
Of course, there is the difficulty of defining what hate speech is: in Australia, it seems to be merely what offends some people, no matter whether the speech is true or not.
Liberal Senator McKenzie crowed that the new legislation would ban Hezbollah flags. They are already banned as an incitement to hate and terrorist support. Nothing is done. There is no reason to believe that anything will be done. It's easy to make laws. Not so easy to enforce them when there is no intention by the ‘talk big’ politicians to do so.
All politicians are doing is encouraging public ridicule. The public knows they don't mean what they say.
In the case of the loathsome, hateful and hate-filled lunacy of the two nurses in question, the ‘earnest’ seeming speech of a government minister, and a few short-lived sobs from a public servant were no more convincing than usual.
