It's not easy to understand why the rest of us get blamed for Bondi.

Anyone with half a brain hates Trump, thinks Pauline is a joke, and thinks conservative Yanks who only want to travel here to break out society the way they've broken theirs, should stay the hell out.

 

Although I wish Trump were dead, and think it would be a huge benefit to the planet if he were, I would never encourage anyone to act on that wish and I don't think anyone else here would either.

Well that post will test the new amendments in the hate speech law - watch out!

The antisemitism law will be tested on this Imam as well, I've read where the law is retrospective.

All the hoo-ha has been about getting rid of anti-semetism. However, I think that it has promoted anti-Islamism. Which ever way you look at it, it has promoted 'anti the other mob' hysteria. What about all the other ethnic or religious mobs that are not the same as one's own. Will the Protestant -v- Catholic wars start up?

It stretches to everyone. Look at the memorials that have been smashed and sprayed with red paint in Victoria, heads cut off statues, anti Australia graffiti splashed over buildings etc in the leadup to Australia Day and Anzac Day.

Some Places CUT Heads OFF LIVE PEOPLE. America HAS the DEATH Penalty. Just being an atheist gets it in some Countries.. IMHO Atheists GET IT. Many others INVENT it for their OWN Purposes. Like CONTROLLING the POPULACE.  Nev

There's a lot of angry people out there, spouting foamy-mouthed visceral hatred. The disease starts with extreme right-wingers and Nazis, and goes right through to "Aboriginal activists", to radical Muslims spouting anti-semitism.

 

I trust the new legislation captures them all, not just the anti-semitism promoters. "Aboriginal activists" are amongst some of the worst spouters of racist, foamy-mouthed, visceral hatred.

They keep telling themselves "WE OWN this JOINT" and "white Fella's Just Muck it up".. What effect does THAT have on their KIDS attitudes to Education, white Mans LAW, AND property?  Nev

I guess it is lucky for you that you don't live in a country where you can be bailed up by thugs who demand you produce proof of citizenship.

You get charged when there's sufficient evidence of you Behaviour Being Criminal and likely to win for the Crown in a Court of Law. You have "Your Day in Court" and if you get a lawyer that won't be cheap. You might get costs IF the case brought by the Crown Prosecutor falls apart.. The Ordinary Person cannot afford to go to Court.  Nev
