"Fattah is a truly despicable character. Let her talk so the whole world can see it."

If people are speaking from the heart, not specifically setting out to cause conflict, even if they are upset, frustrated or angry about a particular event, so long as what they are saying really is an extension of their true beliefs, and they're not openly calling for violence, I think the speech should be permitted.

Peak Jewish group urges Labor to 'get rid' of hate exemption for religious texts
http://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01-14/jewish-groups-warns-against-religious-text-defence/106228086

>>The head of Australia's peak Jewish body has urged Labor to "get rid of" a defence to its new offence of inciting racial hatred that would exempt those quoting directly from religious texts during teaching or religious discussion.

Peter Wertheim, chief executive of the Executive Council of Australian Jewry, has told a parliamentary inquiry into the draft laws that the carve-out provides a loophole for preachers seeking to espouse hate.<<

Is this going to apply to all religions?
Including theirs?

“Nobody should express any sympathy for, let alone solidarity with, the person who caused the controversy (Adelaide's Writers Week), nor the luvvies who flounced out after (the Palestinian antisemitic activist”). The real issue is this. If you take the taxpayers' coin for your love-in, the government of the day which approves the funding has a right to say who comes to the party”. ( Anon)

In the meantime, the Trump administration has issued a “stark warning” to the Albanese government over its new hate speech legislation.

(People who have seen it have declared it to be a dog's breakfast that doesn't mention Islamic extremism, which is the root cause of the problem. Worse than the UK, which sees 30 people (not Islamists) arrested every day for expressing their opinions).

And there is an EXEMPTION from speaking hatefully if the sources are from religious texts.

No prizes for guessing who those people would be!

And so, the U.S says that the laws would be “deeply perverse” and create a “double standard”.

And before people huff and puff about the U.S not sticking its nose into our affairs, they should think about Venezuela.

Albanese is now a threat to the safety and well-being of Australians. Not only the scale of Maduro - yet - but certainly to a Marxist level never before known in democratic Australia.

The U.S Under Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy argues that the Albanese legislation provides a “safe harbour” for jihadist extremism, but “imprisons you for calling to deport jihadist extremists”.

She does say, “Let's hope this is not what Australia intends”; but Albanese's behaviour suggests it is what is intended.

She says that the trouble with hate speech laws is that they are administered by people who “coddle actual violent zealots”.

Well known say-it-the-way-he-sees- it Congressman, Jim Jordan, has mentioned to our Censor-in-chief the idea of Australia's “global censorship regime” in a another sense, adding to the growing suspicion here and in our main allied country that the Albanese regime intends to crush freedom of speech. Too much time spent with the CPA instead of like-minded Western allies.

The Bill ‘Combatting Antisemitism, Hate and Extremism Bill’ to be debated next Monday should be chucked out, and the real causes of threats to Australia's safety and security addressed openly.

The U.S is not only having to police dictatorial, terror-ridden countries: it is also having to speak for the people in Western countries whose own governments seek to enslave them.

“Nobody should express any sympathy for, let alone solidarity with, the person who caused the controversy.

The people who caused the controversy is high profile Jews and their lobby groups.
High profile Jewish lawyers Mark and his son Jeremy Liebler, who are also the chairman of AIJAC and President of the Zionist Federation of Australia, imposing a view that criticism of Israel is anti-Semitic and I'm assuming using threats of lawfare to shut down the free speech of Australians.

AI Overview
The statement "Anti-Zionism is Antisemitism" is a prominent position advocated by figures such as Jeremy Leibler, the President of the Zionist Federation of Australia (ZFA), and his father, Mark Leibler, a senior partner at law firm Arnold Bloch Leibler and chairman of the Australia/Israel & Jewish Affairs Council (AIJAC). They argue that anti-Zionism is a modern form of antisemitism.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bendigo_Writers_Festival_boycott
The Bendigo Writers Festival boycott occurred in August 2025 over a code of conduct adopted by the festival held in Bendigo, Australia, and operated by the City of Greater Bendigo. The code mandated that speakers at the Bendigo Writers Festival avoid divisive topics and that those speaking at events hosted by La Trobe University comply with the university's anti-racism plan, which had adopted a broad definition of antisemitism construed to include anti-Zionist criticism of Israel.

Are we really going to destroy our own country ourselves because a Palestinian Australian levels a bit of truth-venom at a nation murdering her relatives?

The neo-Nazis have announced that they will disband if Albanese's hate speech laws get through. They don't want to go to jail for their opinions, any more than anyone else does.

This could be interesting, as Albanese would no long be able to avoid talking about the Islamic threat in Australia by yapping about Nazis.
