- Sky News host James Macpherson has questioned the powers given by Australia’s new hate speech laws.
The Australian federal government has passed tough new hate speech laws, aimed to tackle terror and inciting violence.
Mr Macpherson said the laws have a “direct impact” on what people post on social media.
Definition, hate speech is anything the government disagrees on.
Or a powerful and organised segment of the community. Basically scapegoating via lawfare.
It's much easier to understand if we just call it what it is: censorship.

Jail time for speech. Australia has fallen.
Why should people be allowed to display Nazi salutes?
Australia is being controlled by Israel and the average Australian is too bloody stupid to see it.
I never voted for this
This whole thing is authoritarian and nuts.
Truth is not hate speech
It is now
@@nowhere529 Not when you fight against it! So vote One Nation!
Truth sounds like hate for those who hate truth.
@@PowerfulRiftOne Nation voted in favour of it. Better off voting for Gerard Rennick's people first party.
@@pavsingh7988 Claiming One Nation voted in favor of anti-free speech policies is completely false. One Nation has actually been one of the strongest opponents of censorship laws in Australia. They have actively fought against the Misinformation and Disinformation Bill, with Malcolm Roberts and Pauline Hanson leading the charge to kill it outright. If One Nation had supported restrictions on free speech, they wouldn’t be trying to shut down legislation designed to silence dissent and control information.
As for Gerard Rennick’s People First Party, while it may have solid policies, there’s no clear evidence that they are doing more for free speech than One Nation. Rennick’s focus seems to be more on economic issues rather than taking a firm, detailed stand on free speech. Meanwhile, One Nation has directly opposed censorship laws in Parliament, proving they’re actually taking action instead of just talking about it.
Australian must stop this!! This is crazy 😢😢
are you willing to protest? because now it might cause jail time, and that is exactly what they wanted.
it's not like they are doing anything majority oppose. Democracy at its finest. They are one election from removing these nonsense if there really is a will.
When white men protest they get labelled neo-nazi's and arrested asap. Only Pro Palestinians can protest.
Too late, its law, you should have spoken up years ago...
this country is completely farked
Hansom and Roberts were neutral today, hope people wake up to that Party
@JohnnyUTAH1 even if you provide evidence many of them won't believe it and continue following blindly. They(the government) are basically using George Orwell's 1984 as a textbook guide
How about concentrate on serious crime rather than taking our freedom
Real crimes are in the too hard basket.
Going after real criminals is too dangerous. 😎👍
Exactly
Instead of making more criminals out of telling THE TRUTH 😅

Ever since Covid . . .
Where have you been living for the past 5 years? Once the covid rules were accepted, with nobody allowed to even question the lunacy, then you didn't expect things to stop there did you?
Nah mate, you're thinking of America.
Wrong, Americans have freedom of speech and a right to defend it with arms, if necessary.
Guess you weren't sacked for not wanting an experimental jab.
Hate speech laws aren't about confronting hate. It's about power and sorting out who to use that power against. Hate speech laws should be opposed at every opportunity if you care even a mote about a free society.
Yep, lawfare.
Exactly, it's interesting how whenever anyone protests about anything the left identify with, the protesters are automatically labelled as right wing neo Nazis.
Whilst I may not necessarily agree with either side I will always support their right to express their view
When the haters are both major parties,there is no justice. Vote Greens and Independents for real freedom. 😡🔥👍👍
@@leonharrison800 Greens and freedom, that's hilarious 😂
@gregoryray9920
Greens defend human rights,animal rights and action on global warming. The West is in decay and needs shutting down. Palestine is just the beginning.
It's all about attacking freedom of speech
You no longer have freedom of speech. This is about control and ultimately enslavement.
A lot of politicians that push personal freedom let us down today they didn't vote against just advocating, so it passed

As an Australian citizen. I will just say hello to everyone. Because if i say anything else i run the risk of mandatory jail time. Yay :/
Jail is not as bad as you think
@libatalklieb5793 yeah but, going to jail for speaking is as bad as you think.
I can't believe you just said, "hello"! I'll bet that somebody who uses forbidden words just read your post, so therefore you must be reported for communicating with those going against the state!
Get your papers in order because the jackbooted Australian state police will be banging on your door soon!
I say this in jest, but scenarios like this have happened historically! Australians need to get together and start voting for people who will bring freedom back to Australia!
@Richard-f4b4r Genuinely, im becoming concerned that i will have to start creating a hiding spot under my floorboards soon. For those who upset people. Its insanity/ horrifying. Something needs to change or Australia is doomed. Just look at what happened during the pandemic

So as a white Australian male I can use this if someone calls me a name? Omg.. the toxic feminists will hate it..
You don't look white to me, or maybe you wish to be?
No it only works against who they say!
Good luck with that. Lol
No, only if belonging to one of the protected groups..including the ones sky constantly bleats about needing more protection.
So, I imagine these laws will primarily be used against white Australians and I'd be surprised if any white Australian is the beneficiary of them.
They’re stripping your rights. You should not be nice about it.
Its not hate speech its speech that you hate
Australia was a free country…
Since I have a low trust in government, I don’t trust them to be on the side of truth and freedom..this could be a huge problem going forward.
A New party will appear,
@@ricky-o2zCory Bernardi party was started too early
They are trying to shut people up.
What about the other elephant in the room, that they’re wanting to push through full term abortion being legal.
Most people would be horrified if they knew the truth.
Infanticide
It won't stop there. We had congressman putting forth legislation to allow "abortion" through the age of two years old! Canada encourages patients to opt for suicide instead of getting a life-saving surgeries! The elderly in Norway are afraid to go to hospitals because of the possibility of being eliminated since they are no longer producing!
The goal is for human life to mean nothing, then the "state" determines who lives and who dies.
Pick your battles...can't find any causes without free speech...these new laws encompasses politcal views so if you post about abortion you could get arrestes
any evidence of this?
@willdevine8266 it's already been introduced in NSW and Victoria.
Victoria introduced it about 10 years ago....NSW about 5 years ago. It's State based legislation.

I am apparently not permitted to add to this conversation. YT keeps pulling my remarks.
I hate the whole idea of "hate speech", as if the guessed motive can make a legal act a crime.
Mandatory sentencing..This is out of hand.. One Nation didn't oppose this.. Very sad..
Very! Scrap that option now. No different to the globalists.
Are we allowed to hate Adolf Hitler? Joseph Stalin? Vladimir Putin? Kim Jong Un? Xi Jinping? Anthony Albanese? Kylie Minogue?
I love Putin and Xi
You can only hate who big brother allows you to
Poor Kylie… 😢😢😢🤣🤣🤣

And Kylie? ……Who’s she?
You will hate who they tell you to hate. They will have an hour of hate to tell you who that is each day
It's passing shows that the Liberal and Labor parties are just the two sides of the same coin.
Censorship by the police state.
Censorship by Globalist demand is more the case. WEF/UN = CENSORSHIP. They are panicking because Trump the globalist smasher has been let loose.
So if our government or government officers say hateful things about China or any other country are they breaking this law?
There's probably a statement in this Bill that says that they are exempt 🙄
Ahh I don't like it when people hate me on social media - and for only telling the truth.
Imagine how bad you must really be if you need laws making it illegal to hate you?
Canada did very similar a while ago, it was passed because it was snuck into the middle of another bill. It received practically zero coverage in the media and it ONLY protects the interests of a certain people. In my country of Canada, you are free to deny or question the genocide of Natives, Uyghur's in China, or if you want, you can even say that nothing happened in Tiananmen Square in 1989. However, even QUESTIONING or debating what happened during a certain event is actually a fully jailable offense here.
You are free to disparage whites, males, heterosexuals, cis-identifying, and Christians while receiving no kind of backlash for it, but the second someone says the same hateful things about other groups, it's considered "hate".
We recently had a different group waving thousands of flags protesting the existence of the group you are talking about, we were told they have a democratic right to protest and there was nothing to be done. But the group of 50 people of a different color has been deemed a threat to democracy. It dosnt seem to be about the group you want to question but rather who is doing the questioning, which is of course the dominenant group in the west once again. Just my observations from debating certain topics such as super peaceful religion

As an Australian Jew that has copped nothing but terror and intimidation, the problem was never our laws. It was the cowardice and lack of enforcement by police and AFP on enforcement on genuine cases. There is a chasm of difference between a nutter on social media, and a person out on the street advocating violence.
Well said - absolutely 💯 agreed
Protesting should never involve intent of personal violence…that law has always existed
Toughen up buddy
It is Jewish lobby champing at bit for hate speech laws ?
Albanese wong reckless migration not so long ago dual Australian jewish politicians were discussing with Jewish lobby and Netanyahu to bring dangerous ppl to Australia without consent of Australia that Israel did not want
The police force is politically pushed around instead of protecting Australia from crime and terrorism and you have woke lawyers censoring names on terrorusts
I sooo agree! We already have laws that are supposed to protect people. The laws have not been enforced and that is an act of cowardice. Then our benevolent government will make new laws to enslaved us all -done under the guise of compassion.
I am sorry the Jewish people have suffered as you have done. It's pure evil to persecute as has been done to you.
As an older Australian I wish you well. I have never known such hate in this country. I can only assume the problem comes from an outside source and the police have been too cowardly to act the enforce the law they are supposed to uphold.
Translation: The enemies within have deemed the evident facts to be hate speech.
Tolerance of the absurd is consent, people.
While the US is moving forward with strong leadership for the people, Australia is moving in the opposite direction at lightning speed.
Albo is Australia's Kamarla Harris.
My family came here in the 1880s. I was born in this once great nation 60+ years ago and Australia has NEVER needed laws against hurty words before. Our larrikinism, ability to take insults and swearing were a defining part of Australian culture . .but not anymore. As kids we would also draw swastikas on our pencil cases and do the Seig Heil and goosestep out of pure fun. It was all around us in cartoons and other TV shows of the era like Hogan's Heroes. Now I would have to serve a mandatory gaol sentence if I did that today. This isn't the Australia I know and love. We should be asking questions like why after all this time do we suddenly need to introduce such undemocratic hurty speech laws? We should also be asking why our governments are being controlled the the globalist WEF and their sponsors like Bill Gates, George Soros and Klaus Schwab. None of these demons who voted for this legislation will be getting my vote. Sick of these totalitarian solutions for every problem. We don't live in a democracy we live in a Globalist Bureaucracy that is merely an outpost for the Globalist regime that is rapidly taking over our nation and planet.
following the UK OMG WE are screwed!!!!!!!!!
This is absolutely insane. Australia needs a 1st Amendment. Freedom of speech is a God given right to every human being.
I'm Iranian. We have similar laws, more severe of course. People have been tortured and executed for what they write online.
Most politicians clearly asleep when it comes to looking after Australia.
I disagree, they know exactly what they've just done
Too busy dipping their snouts into the trough to care.
People can be shadow-banned online for using everyday common words found in a dictionary, which has led to new words being created, that means essentially the same thing, but is acceptable to an algorithm. 'Newspeak' (from the novel Nineteen Eighty Four) was used to limit the range of grammar, to limit the range of thought.
Sounds like the UK, Hurty words can get you jailed. Dissidents are being locked up for being in the wrong place ,say the wrong thing or post hurty words in media posts.
Most people these days are so soft & wimpy, haven't they heard of - Water off a ducks back, grow a thicker skin, sticks & stones ect ? I'm disgusted at the gutless cowards in this country.
Ridiculousness, this doesn’t belong here
And this draconian law will ONLY be applied in one direction (you know what I mean).
This law might be a way of deterring people from coming here. Who would want to live in a shithouse?
Not if they are from one of the protected "minority groups"
So words are responsible for people's actions? If someone goes on a rampage the person who says something is responsible!! If you say you oppose immigration from certain countries are you going to be locked up??
Yes
Thank God we have free speech in America.

So according to these new laws, politicians should be bused off to prison immediately...
probably excludes them ... just like the experimental jibberty jabs .. politicians didn't have to get one...but the rest of us did at pain of ostracisation and job loss.

We need a Trump in Australia
And of course it will be selectively applied. Individuals who are conservative, of the Christian faith will be targeted for what they say while their pet identity groups will be free to say as they please. As they always have been.
I thought a judge made these decisions not politicians
The day mandatory sentencing becomes law and the powers of discretion are removed from a magistrate, is indeed a sad day for Australia.
No the Globalists at WEF HQ make these decisions. The politician's only role is to carry out their master's orders and turn them into legislation.

Free speech is essential for democracy. Dutton needs to tell the Australian people he stands for protecting free speech. I am tired of politicians seeking to erode democracy and bringing in laws that seek to control the populace. Look to the USA, is no one reading the room?
Exactly. We are heading in the opposite direction to the USA. They now have cheap energy and are well on the road to prosperity. We however have some of the most expensive energy in the world (despite all the coal and gas) and are headed for Mt Doom.
The public has allowed the government to do this. Government employees of any rank should be in hiding.
I mean Australia did go to war with Emus and lost twice
Australian politicans should be ashamed of themselves for opening the back door too allow in Sharia law. Because we all know what group will want to shut down public debate. Labor, Liberal and One Nation Federal politicians need voting out.
That's it Australia has fallen,yes in theory this law is good but don't worry they'll use this law to stop all speech watch and see

For we are young and FREE".
I assume the Kevin Hunts in Canberra are going to change the lyrics to suit their assaults on your freedoms.
They actually did change that part to "We are One, and Free". Can't criticize it without risking jailtime.
What are they hiding by bringing in laws like this?
WEF instructions from Control Centre Davos, based on the Globalists favourite political system as practiced by the CCP.. The Globalists are shitting themselves because Social Media is allowing us too much knowledge concerning how rigged the whole system is.
