The Greens justice spokesperson, David Shoebridge, said rushed amendments – agreed between Labor and the Coalition in the wake of the Bondi terror attacks – represent an unprecedented expansion of political power to ban organisations and criminalise speech based on vague standards.
The prime minister, Anthony Albanese, and the home affairs minister, Tony Burke, rejected the claims on Wednesday, insisting the laws were needed to protect Australians, including members of the Jewish community.
Shoebridge said legitimate criticism of Israel or the country’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, may be offences, if they cause psychological harm and prompt warnings to the government from intelligence agencies.
Ain’t that a bitch.
Just like Netanyahu.
Oops, straight to jail.
As was planned all along.
Fuck Israel.
Globalise the Interfada.
Look at me I’m a terrorist! What a bunch of piss-poor cowards we have in government in this country
Is that the same Benjamin Netanyahu with an arrest warrant out for him from the ICC for crimes against humanity?
User was issued an arrest warrant for this post.
Not a criticism: just a fact.
Second infringement. New warrant issued.
Criminy!
Which Netanyahu?
The Mileikowsky one
