How would a so called citizen-initiated referendum be activated? Firstly a referendum would have to be held to change the Constitution to accommodate such a move, as well as the procedural requirements for CIR's to be held. It would require bipartisan support from the left and right of politics, otherwise it would be doomed to failure. Sounds a rather wacky feel good idea to me.

AC,

Calm down. I am not going to comply with your rules.

Hmm, your friend David Flint supports Israel, just as you do.
Tell me do you also support using canines to rape Palestinian deainees who are kidnapped and held hostage without charge?

Is this a part of the culture and values you were talking about earlier?
Judeo-Christian values?

>>Krystal Ball just read testimony from an Israeli detention center. 'They stripped him. A captain sprayed something on his backside. They unleashed the dog. The dog raped the young man. It raped him, literally speaking, raped'

This is not a conspiracy theory. This is documented along with many other. This is what Israel does And because the victims are Palestinian Muslims. So you don't see any coverage on Western media.<<

Maybe the Israelis you and David supported pushed this provision through with CIR and that's how they became child murdering rapists?

As a good Christian I guess you also approve them destroying churches, statues of Jesus, crosses, restricting Easter services, spitting on Christians etc.

AC

My concern is ACTIVIST JUDGES usurping elected politicians, not just this particular case. You can't stop yourself from expressing your disgusting Jew-hatred, no matter what the subject is, you vile, racist antisemite. Your devotion to unsubstantiated videos has warped your mind.

And, you ignoramus, nobody pushed anything through with “CIR” because Citizen Initiated Referenda do not exist in Australia. How ignorant can a person be!

I “support” no country but Australia. I sympathise with Israel and Jews, but what you call support is beyond an old nobody like me.

I am ashamed of myself for having encouraged someone like you. It stops now.

While I'm opposed to the tactics and chanting used by the pro-Gazan activists, I'm also opposed to censorship of any kind.

The constitution exists to ensure that acts of parliament, even when overwhelmingly backed by a parliamentarians and, probably, the general public, can't be enforced if they run contrary to the rules of the nation. These laws passed by NSW were always problematic and contrary to any notion of free speech that underpins our democracy. Sure, it was a fraught time and the government was worried about ethnic minorities taking their enmity toward each other to the streets. But that's a problem with multiculturalism not free speech.

The laws were wrong and I'm glad they were overturned. Just as I'll be glad when Queensland's laws banning certain phrases like "From the River to the Sea" get overturned as being utterly contrary to any notion of freedom of speech.

Apart from anything else, its important to let the anti-western minorities yell their antisemitic tripe so that they can be seen. Its how we tell who they are and who the morons are.

Yes I'm opposed to activist judges who make decisions based on their own prejudices rather than the actual law, but this wasn't the case here

Speaking of morons spouting their antisemitism, we turn to AC who gives a story claiming that Jewish dogs are raping Palestinians. And his source? Some wannabe journalist called Krystal Ball (if that's not a giver-away I'm not sure what is). One of the comments on his link says that "You’d have to be educated in a Palestinian school to believe something this absurd". But you don't. You just need to be as monumentally gullible as AC.
