> It's true, the history of #MtGravatt did change my life. There is a long winded but hopefully interesting story within this documentary about what happened....

Regarding the Queensland “from the river to the sea” ban… it’s section 52DA of the Criminal Code, here:

https://www.legislation.qld.gov.au/view/whole/html/inforce/current/act-1899-009

It starts by saying: “A person who publicly recites, publicly distributes, publishes or publicly displays a prohibited expression in a way that might reasonably be expected to cause a member of the public to feel menaced, harassed or offended commits an offence” - and then goes on to define the phrase “from the river to the sea”.

Surely, singing John Farnham is not “a way that might reasonably be expected to cause a member of the public to feel menaced, harassed or offended” - and thus any media reports of people “narrowly escaping arrest” are lazy reporting?

(Even, surely, if you sing the song while holding a Palestinian flag?)

Or am I missing something crucial about this particularly dumb law from Crissafuli?
