Speech they hate
By George Christensen, former LNP MHR
They’re coming for your words. Your thoughts. Your beliefs.
Under the guise of fighting anti-Semitism, the Albanese government—with full support from Peter Dutton’s opposition—has passed the most draconian hate crime laws Australia has ever seen.
Yes, you read that correctly. The so-called “conservative” Liberal-National Coalition has joined forces with Labor to push for new restrictions on speech, harsher penalties for politically incorrect opinions, and a dangerous expansion of state power.
- The Albanese government, with bipartisan support, has introduced strict new hate crime laws, expanding state power and limiting free speech.
- The bill criminalises speech deemed “reckless,” removing intent requirements and eliminating protections for political and religious expression.
- The law will disproportionately target conservatives, Christians, and opponents of progressive ideology while exempting leftist rhetoric.
- The law’s vague definitions could lead to criminalising historical and religious symbols, further expanding government censorship.
- Once enacted, such laws tend to grow in scope, threatening broader freedoms beyond the initial justification of combating anti-Semitism.
Why are these laws being pushed by both sides of politics? Because of the radical Islamic attacks on Jews taking place in Australian suburbs—essentially a Middle Eastern problem that both sides of politics have imported to our shores by virtue of out-of-control immigration policies. Now, in their rush to appear “tough on hate,” they are laying the groundwork for a full-scale assault on free speech.
This isn’t just about punishing neo-Nazis or radical Islamic extremists. This is a sweeping, vague, and dangerous law that will criminalise ordinary Australians for their political views, religious beliefs, and even casual remarks online. Think that’s an exaggeration? Let’s break it down.
Before this bill, prosecutors had to prove intent—meaning you had to actually intend harm for your words to be considered criminal. Not anymore. The Criminal Code Amendment (Hate Crimes) Bill 2024 lowers the bar so drastically that a person can be charged for reckless speech. What does that mean? If the government decides your words might lead to violence—even if you never intended that outcome—you can go to jail. Imagine this: you post on social media, passionately opposing radical gender ideology being pushed onto children. A left-wing activist claims your words could potentially lead to someone committing an act of violence. Congratulations, you’ve just committed a hate crime.
Journalists, religious leaders, academics, and political commentators—pay attention. The bill removes the good faith defence, which previously protected people engaging in religious teachings, political debate, or satire. Now, a pastor preaching traditional marriage, a professor questioning gender ideology, or a comedian mocking identity politics could all face criminal charges. This is not about stopping violence. It’s about silencing opposition to an agenda.
The bill expands protections for gender identity, intersex status, and sexual orientation—but not political beliefs. If a radical leftist calls for violence against conservatives, don’t expect them to be prosecuted. But if you dare to criticise mass immigration, gender fluidity, or radical feminism with gusto, then expect the full weight of the law to come down on you. This isn’t about stopping violence. It’s about censoring the criticism of certain agenda.
- We need to stop the mass immigration from certain areas because they bring division to our country and refuse to integrate. If we don’t stop this, we’re going to lose our country.Why it might be criminal under this bill: Previously, this would have been protected political speech. Now, it could be seen as “urging violence” against immigrants, particularly if someone in the audience acts on it. The expanded protected attributes mean this covers nationality and ethnicity, increasing the likelihood of prosecution.
- The idea that gender is entirely a social construct is not supported by biological science. Those groups forcing people to accept this concept are dangerous.Why it might be criminal under the bill: If an activist claims this statement “incites hatred” or “threatens the safety” of transgender individuals, it could be prosecuted. Context no longer matters—a person merely “fearing violence” is enough under the new threshold.
What’s more, displaying a “prohibited” symbol—now expanded beyond Nazi imagery—will carry a mandatory jail sentence. The bill adds new victim classes based on sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, and intersex status to the list of those whom symbols can “offend, insult, humiliate, or intimidate”. The bill is so vaguely worded that religious and historical symbols could be caught in the dragnet. A Christian cross used in opposition to same-sex marriage could be a hate symbol. A cartoon criticising radical gender ideology could be a hate crime. A historical image discussing gender roles? You’d better lawyer up!
It’s obvious why Labor is backing this bill—they’re socialists who always want more control over speech and political debate. But why is the erstwhile “conservative” Liberal-National Coalition supporting it? As mentioned, it’s because they see it as a tool to crack down on radical Islamic anti-Semitism. After a wave of anti-Jewish attacks—including firebombings of synagogues, violent threats, and even an attempted terror plot involving a caravan full of explosives—Petter Dutton and the Liberals have pushed for even harsher laws to send a message to the extremists in our midst.
Here’s the problem: this bill won’t just be used against radical Islamists. Once they’re on the books, they’ll be used to censor anyone who opposes progressive ideology. Labor, the activist class and the media will twist these laws to target those who speak out against mass immigration, question gender ideology, or defend traditional values.
Today, it’s about anti-Semitism. Tomorrow, it’ll be about protecting fearful trans folks. Next year? It could even be the radical Muslims who are upset that they’re being targeted for criticism! We’ve seen it happen before. Every time a government gets new censorship powers, it expands them. This is the road to tyranny. And make no mistake—it’s conservatives, Christians, and free thinkers who will suffer most.
The Liberal National Coalition’s approach is short-sighted. In trying to fight one form of extremism, they’re handing the government the ultimate censorship weapon. And history tells us the bill won’t be used against the people they intended.
This is a defining moment for Australia. We either stand up now, or we lose our freedoms for good. Contact your MPs. Demand that free speech be protected. Expose this legislation.
Share this article, talk to your friends and family, and refuse to stay silent. Support organisations fighting for free speech: CitizenGO, and the Free Speech Union are just two that spring to mind.
The government is counting on people being too scared to resist. Prove them wrong. Because once free speech is gone, we won’t get it back.
Until next time, God bless you, your family and nation.
Quoting from the Indiependent, “Censorship and Fascism: The Rise of the Far-Right”:
“One of the key features of fascism is the oppression of opposition voices. Whether that be voices of the people or voices of a movement, to suppress those voices which disagree with the current government is the poster-child of fascism.”

What’s clear is that people are beginning to uncover the lies and fakery and evil about what we’ve had drummed into our heads for quite some time. People are realising that the people in which we place our faith and trust to do the right thing by us have ZERO interest in us when it comes to themselves.
They can’t stop us from realising it and thinking about it, so the next best option is to STOP us from articulating the truths about their lies. That oughtta keep them safe for a while longer until we discover that we’re being gagged for a reason. 🙂

Birchgrove Legal Files Case for Complicity to Genocide to the Hague – International Criminal Court [Media Release]
Excerpt >
PM referred to International Criminal Court accused of complicity in genocide
Tuesday, 5 March 2024
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has been referred to the International Criminal Court as an accessory to genocide in Gaza, making him the first leader of a Western nation to be referred to the ICC under Article 15 of the Rome Statute.
A team of Australian lawyers from Birchgrove Legal, led by King’s Counsel Sheryn Omeri, have spent months documenting the alleged complicity and outlining the individual criminal responsibility of Mr Albanese in respect to the situation in Palestine.
The 92-page document, which has been endorsed by more than one hundred Australian lawyers and barristers, was yesterday submitted to the Office of ICC Prosecutor, Karim Khan KC.
“The Article 15 communication is of a piece with recent domestic legal cases brought against Western leaders in a number of countries such as in the US, against President Biden, and most recently, in Germany, against, among other senior government ministers, Chancellor Scholz.
“These cases demonstrate a growing desire on the part of civil society and ordinary citizens of Western countries to ensure that their governments do not assist in the perpetration of international crimes, especially in circumstances where the ICJ has found a plausible case of genocide in Gaza.”
Principal solicitor at Birchgrove Legal, Moustafa Kheir, said his team had twice written to Mr Albanese, putting him on notice and seeking a response on behalf of the applicants who make up a large consortium of concerned Australian citizens, including those of Palestinian ethnicity.
Mr Kheir said communications were ignored on both occasions.
“Since October we have attempted communications with our Prime Minister as we reasonably believe that he and members of his cabinet are encouraging and supporting war crimes committed by Israel against Palestinian civilians through their political and military assistance,” Kheir said.
“The Prime Minister has ignored our concerns and given the limited avenues we have for recourse under national law, we have been left with little option but to pursue this Article 15 communication to the International Criminal Court.
‘OUR COMMUNICATION HAS BEEN ENDORSED BY King’s Counsel Greg James AM and well over 100 senior counsel and barristers, retired judges, law professors and academics from around Australia who wish to test the strength of international law to hold their own democratic leaders accountable given the barriers we face to do it nationally.”
“As lawyers and barristers, it is impossible to sit back and watch sustained breaches of international law while Albanese continues to refer to the perpetrator as “a dear friend.”
On Background
In Australia, a prosecution for international crimes cannot be brought without the endorsement and support of the Attorney General which poses a significant conflict of interest.

Is Anna Von Reitz, a Cabal Agent/ Controlled Opposition?

➯ h ttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWMM2JznJHY
My question is are these unlawful antiseptic directives in preparation for the release of the JFK, 9/11 ,Port Arthur false flag suppression orders amongst others ? Going to be a lot of very upset people when the truth has been made official for the masses imo 🤔🍿
The story of who the Semites are-and it ain’t the Jews:
http://annavonreitz.com/antisemitism.pdf
Talked to an Arabic-looking bloke yesterday who was wearing a “Zionism Equals Fascism” T-shirt, who congratulated me on the fact that I know that the Arabic/Middle Eastern people are the Semitic people., not the Zionist Jews.
He lamented the fact that people just do not understand that fact.
In any event, where are all these grandstanding human rights lawyers like Josh Bernstein, Geoffrey Robertson and the others on this issue? All Freemason lawyers, moe like it, who do not represent anything but the System!
I get it, we shall no longer “recklessly” object to being fukked by anyone, right?
And our fearless leaders who shove such garbage down our throats still call Australia “home”?
Senator Gerard Rennick says P.H. One Nation supported this hate speech bill and there is mandatory sentencing, Malcolm Roberts voted against an amendment exempting under 14 year olds then P.H. One nation abstained, what crazy games is P.H. up to now with Chromedome.
On the conservative side only Rennick and Babet voted against
h ttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GEQXZ0-tTiQ
Senator Rennick is doing some great work actually putting Chalmers and the shadow treasury to shame, saying companies can lend money to Australia from outside and pay only the outside rates of income tax ( e.g. Ireland 22.5% ) while if you borrow within Australia the companies are expected to pay 30% tax, well I thought company tax had reduced to 25% but I have been out of the game for a while so not sure of all the details. Rennick seems to have the experts bamboozled though so that’s a good sign. We should not be shifting all this money offshore for free all the time when Australia is falling apart.
Elbow and Chromedome have nothing to offer except more stoopidity.
In the ALP there is not only one AnAl there are two, and AnAl #2 sits right behind AnAl #1, I am of course speaking of Anne Aly, and what does she contribute to the discussion, not much you might think but in fact she is the ALP specialist in middle east terrorism which as we know is usually engineered by the US and British DeepState agents, not that AnAl #2 would agree with that assessment.
Because she is brown AnAl #1 has put her in charge of aborigines to help combine all the brown and darker people into one unit or voting bloc of disadvantage that both AnAls can rely on.
All these people have nothing to contribute except manipulations. With every new law the place is more rooted than the day before. That won’t stop them though, they have a hunger, a passion, to infest the place with more and more laws.
It was going better 20 years ago and it was going even better than that 50 years ago. Now the wheels are falling off Melbourne where half these idiots live.

This is just so unaustralian and a complete betrayal of the Australian people.
Killing Australians with the Covid jab wasn’t enough now they want to kill our free speech and our souls too.
It’s monstrous!
This is the most extreme and reckless legislation I’ve ever seen written by a bunch of power hungry extremists…. And it’s the sneaky under handed way of Albanese getting through his “misinformation bill 2.0.
Liberals are gloating over it.
We are absolutely disgusted with all the mainstream political class and their bureaucrats.
We won’t be voting for any of them or the fake “independents”.
The internet will lose all of its vibrance and become a barren wasteland of online shopping and propaganda that nobody will watch.
I think LibLab is going to get the shock of its life when they see how Australians reject them all outright at the voting booth this election.

… all because of the jews’ genocide of Palestinians
What a coincidence that this law has just come into existence around the same time as Trump’s stance on Gaza becomes known.. He has now sanctioned the ICC for ‘saying bad things about Israel’… Where will it all end..
What must the American people be thinking about voting in this man.

Israel, Gaza and Australian politics: master lobbyist Mark Leibler reveals how power really works
See a posting by Commenter stranger Nov. 13 – “Wow just flicked by #QandA & witnessed the most disgusting Racist & Islamophobic comments against Palestinians BY MARK LEIBLER, I won’t repeat them. It was seriously racist & sickening. On the ABC to explain how they let this Racist on their program & not to let him on again.”
by Jommy Tee and Michael West | Nov 15, 2023
Mark Leibler is the tax lawyer, Australian Jewish community leader and staunch Israel defender behind the initiative to get six former Australian prime ministers to sign a letter in favour of Israel in Gaza. Paul Keating, the notable living exception to this line of signatories, famously outed Leibler as the man behind the strategy.
Leibler has been an influential player in Australian politics for decades, a Zionist community leader with the ear of successive prime ministers and media chiefs.

We need to give our first preference to centre right minor party or independent candidates that are on record to repealing these laws.
This is a DECLARATION OF WAR BY THE AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT CORPORATION against WE, THE PEOPLE.
Everyone must remember that this corporate government, the AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT CORPORATION is NOT THE CONSTITUTIONAL MONARCHY! THE COMMONWEALTH OF AUSTRALIA.
It is only the corporate business registered offshore by a bankrupt company in the District of Columbia, Washington DC/US (not USA).
It’s courts are Admiralty Maritime courts that have NO JURISDICTION ON LANDMASSES.
Mankind living on the Australian landmass is only ruled under COMMON LAW. This other farce is just a pretend that requires your voluntary submission.
Do not agree to any of their statements, do not talk to them at all or they will twist your words using their Blacks Dictionary vocabulary which is different to normal dictionaries. Do not sign anything. They will address your name in CAPITOL LETTERS which is the business corporation they registered your name in capitols as at birth on you birth certificate without your permission. Under their version of Contract Law, they cannot do any of this without your approval and in any of your ignorance of all pertinent facts. So they have no legitimate authority over you without your compliance and exposure to ALL PERTINENT FACTS.
Do not recognize them as an authority.
Your resistance is your saviour.
Do not allow them to frighten you into submission with lies.
They may unlawfully arrest you, but wisely protect your safety by not creating harsh situations. Record all instances of unlawfulness and brutality by them for future Common Law proceedings against them.
Common Law is empowered by President Trump and the American Military and is now spreading all around the world.
Officials that create treason or crimes against humanity will be executed in military tribunals.
Do not think that the Australian Government (corporation) can stand up against President Trump.
He bankrupted the Federal Reserve that Admiralty Maritime Bar Association is part of, so they have no backing anymore.
Our Reserve Bank is part of the bankrupted Federal Reserve.
The Australian Government Corporation will be dissolved shortly and they cannot print fiat money anymore. So they are broke and desperate.
Watch out for them.
They will come for you.
They are the Deep State of western nations.
Many are already executed.
Yes John Wilson the only way is for the people to take courage and trust God by using Constitutional Common law courts. ( Grand juries ) and Magna-Carta, like the people did in England against the wicked rulers.
The people should know if they have faith that Jesus Christ is sitting in the throne of David as King of kings, lord of lords, judge of judges.
Jesus said “Ask and you shall receive”, but they do not ask, so they will not receive.
Please note that the “Man of lawlessness” may soon expose himself and the Apostacy is now fully in place.

“Should the Jew, with the aid of his Marxist creed, triumph over the peoples of this world, his crown will be the funeral wreath of mankind, and this planet will once again follow its orbit through ether, devoid of human life, as it did millions of years ago.
Adolf Hitler – Mein Kampf – end of Chapter 2 (Stalag Edition)
Not to be forgotten is that at least one of the so-called Islamic attacks in Australia have been organised by our own A.F.P. or A.S.I.O. and politicians. If they did it at Port Arthur in 1996 why not more recently? Remember the Lindt Cafe murders.
Is there any more evil that our politicians as a group can pass down onto the people of this land who are expected to once again shortly vote for these same vile creatures?
Surely the population has not already forgotten Trump’s Operation Warp Speed and its devastation on the world. He is of the same group who have taken the spine ( and possibly brains) from the politicians.
There is one particular group outside of political positions who have a strangle hold on the necks of all the political hacks of the Parties. Why does this particular group always get its way, no matter how evil, with the politicians? I and many others know, but are now not allowed to voice our opinion.
It is a known fact that most Palestinians are Semites, so how does this bill protect their rights? It is not they that destroyed the country that was known as Palestine.
What is next on the agenda? “We will not be allowed to vote if a person of this particular group is on the ballot paper, and we refuse to vote for this creature.”
In other words our vote will not be counted if we vote any other option.
THE ISLAMISTS WON’T CARE WHAT ZIONIST LED LAWS ARE INTRODUCED THEY WILL CARRY ON AS PER USUAL AS WE SHOULD BECAUSE IF WE GIVE IN TO THESE RATBAGS IT’S GAME OVER.
