Australia passed tough anti-hate crime laws, including mandatory minimum sentences for terror offenses and displaying hate symbols, in a bid to tackle a recent surge in antisemitism https://reut.rs/40PWtZF

Would like to see states do the same thing. That way, the next time Musk is in a state with similar laws, we can arrest him for violating data-privacy laws, etc.
As an Australian, this is targeting people tagging houses with swastikas, packing vans of homemade explosives and carrying out assaults and hate crimes at synagogues.
The mandatory sentencing is a bit dumb but so is the Australian public, and we have a federal election soon.
It’s already illegal to do the above, why expand on them…unless these laws could include ppl chanting “from the River to the Sea” or graffitiing a PMs office or placing a free Palestine sticker…
They don't. It is very concerning that it does include harsher penalties for protesting outside of a place of worship, but there have been some remarkably severe *actual* anti-Semitic attacks (not just pro Palestine) in Australia, and silence would have been damning against the LNP base.
It’s already illegal to do the Roman!!! The key here is what defines “antisemitism” and its interpretation. Like to most ppl antisemitism is basic - hatred directed at Jews for being Jews. But these days, if you listen to our politicians- it’s anyone protesting Israel’s barbaric campaign in Gaza.
This is our sensible, not Trump major party option. You should see the other guy, an ex-cop turned career politician who has directly quoted wanting to follow Trump's suit on trans rights and environmental protections.
Mandatory minimum sentences are not justice. They remove judicial discretion and decision making. This is reactionary bullshit designed to pacify the centre right before Dutton can get his hands on them. Another albanese disappointment.
You really are,aren't you. A prized for Numbnut. During the 2nd WW asked if Jews in Ireland would be protected by the Irish Government the then Taoiseach. Assured the state they would be.
50 years later. The address phone number workplace of every Irish Jew had been collected to hand over to Hitler
Why did the world forget about the Russians, the gays, the gypsies, the blacks that Hitler killed? And only remembered the Jews? Very strange, right? Blaming Hitler only for the Jews. Can you think for yourself without thinking about the Jews?
The world remembers the Jews more, the world hates the Russians, the Russian people died more than the Jewish people at the hands of Hitler, the gypsies almost disappeared, do you have a fetish for Jews? Or are you a Jew?
No, I'm not Jewish. I am an Irish citizen.
All born and recent citizen including many from the USA who have taken Irish citizenship. Are Irish.
Not American Irish.

As the world continues to repeat “anti-Semitism…” The richest man on Earth just took food out of the mouths of the poorest children on Earth. And the richest country on Earth gave Jews another $1 billion to kill Palestinians

I hope more countries do this. A hundred years later the same actions but funded by the richest people who've ever lived.
