Jinjirrie 🐈⬛✅AG Rowland clarifies the ambit of the new hate laws, so carry on, folks ... fk genocidal, criminal, apartheid #Israel & Zionism! https://archive.md/Vt2uA #ZionismIsWhiteSupremacy #hatelaws #auspol #Gaza #Palestine
'So, broad is the reach is the new listing prohibited hate group regime that the major concern right now is that they might be applied to stamp out pro-Palestinian sentiment and protest in the public square to again placate the Zionist lobby. But further, these laws sitting on the books could likely be used by a future “true blue” führer, so that their opposition can be eradicated on taking office.'' https://www.sydneycriminallawyers.com.au/blog/the-federal-governments-crackdown-on-free-speech-affects-all-australians/ #AusFascism #hatelaws #IsraeFascisml #Palestine
Timothy Roberts . President of the NSW Council for Civil Liberties:
'We cannot have criminal laws on our books that the community does not understand. This sort of ambiguous expansion of executive power without reasonable checks and balances only undermines the rule of law. No one wants more hate in our community, but without the rule of law and responsible government the divisions that drive hate in our community will only grow.'

Barrister Greg Barns eviscerates Albo's shoddy hate laws.
'It is utterly shameful that MPs of the major parties, including some Teals, supported the process surrounding this law and the law itself. They have shown themselves to be prepared to sacrifice human rights, the rule of law and democracy in a rush to impose tyrannical laws on the community.' https://johnmenadue.com/post/2026/01/bad-laws-are-the-worst-sort-of-tyranny/ #HateLaws #auspol #Palestine
Bad laws are the worst sort of tyranny – and this one ticks every box
A sweeping new bill to combat antisemitism, hate and extremism was rushed through federal parliament this week with minimal scrutiny and major rule-of-law flaws. Its vague definitions, retrospective reach and expanded executive powers risk undermining rights, due process and democratic accountability.
Albo's flawed "hate" legislation is demonstrated as even more Orwellian and oppressive with every new analysis. https://medium.com/@abrahamedwards/how-the-new-hate-crime-laws-will-be-used-against-palestine-solidarity-ad96db401beb #auspol #Palestine #HateLaws #AusFascism
Barrister Greg Barns -
"To be frank, when you read the bill, even to senior lawyers its unintelligible," he said.
"The great concern we have about banning organisations is there is no requirement for procedural fairness, known as natural justice.
"The executive always has to be subject to checks and balances, including by the courts — not to do so breaches the rule of law and is fundamentally undemocratic."' https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01-21/what-will-new-hate-laws-do/106253754 #HateLaws #auspol
Albo's hate laws look increasingly messy, oppressive and capricious. https://theconversation.com/hate-crime-laws-may-have-unintended-consequences-including-chilling-free-speech-274016 #auspol #HateLaws
One rule for the rulers, another for everyone else. And you thought no one was above the law? Albo has fixed that.

The knuckle-dragging hate agenda proceeds apace in the state of Texas as the legislature drags us further back into the 1850's.
