The so-called ‘hate group’ laws are ill-defined, lack rigorous safeguards and open the door to mainstream Australians being targeted by government if it disagrees with their views. As Daniel Wild explains, Australians should not be fooled into thinking there will not be dangerous unintended consequences from such sub-standard laws.

The new ‘hate laws’ are so broad that banning of groups based on their political views is almost an inevitability. There are no effective safeguards in place. 📺 Daniel Wild and Morgan Begg take you through everything you need to know about these laws that can silence mainstream Australians:

Australian Nationalist Blair Cottrell explains the severity of Australia's new "Hate Organisation Laws", and how the laws have resulted in the banning of a lawful political party. He explains how these laws will be used against One Nation next - especially if White Australia's members now retreat to One Nation. Excellent video and explanation of these laws by Blair. All Australians should be extremely concerned by this legislation, and the actions being taken by the Australian Labor Government.

The Albanese government’s proposed ‘hate speech’ laws are one of the biggest assaults on freedom of speech in our peacetime history. As Margaret Chambers explains, if passed, such a law would be used to silence debate and jail mainstream Australians for having an opinion.

Albanese is using Bondi to rush through new laws to curb free speech in the name of promoting social cohesion and disrupting "hate". Do not be fooled. These laws will not protect ordinary Australians, Christians or even the Jewish people. Similar laws have been introduced in the UK and a person was even arrested for a post warning about rising anti-semitism! Australians need to wake up as we are rapidly in danger of losing our freedoms and our way of life 🇦🇺

The Human Rights Law Alliance details the chilling reality now confronting Australians. It’s going to be very difficult to speak up against dangerous ideologies. These new Hate speech laws have dismantled the safeguards which existed. Just like in the UK the police will be able to come to your door and discuss social media posts potentially leading to imprisonment. He notes the asymmetrical application of these laws!! Which is why the radical Islam hate preachers were never caught.

CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR OF CA EXPLAINS THAT SANCTUARY LAWS HAVE A LOT OF UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES @tillmanforgovernor tells Matt Gaetz that what he has observed in California is the “unintended consequences” of sanctuary laws, noting, “You see ICE going out into the neighborhoods trying to take people into custody, simply because they’re not working in partnership with local law enforcement…So, if we saw better partnership with local law enforcement…as well as better leadership, I don’t think we’d be seeing the backlash that we’re seeing.”

Today the Federal Government in conjunction with the Coalition and with no resistance from One Nation passed a bill against Hate Speech. They gagged debate again and rammed the laws through with no scrutiny where we could ask questions. This is a direct attack on Free Speech. For the third parliamentary week in a row the major parties have devoted Parliament to controlling you, not serving you, by shutting you down. The Misinformation Law, the Online Safety Bill and now Hate Speech are all designed to censor people and push back on government overreach. The hate speech law is dangerous because it threatens freedom of speech by allowing the government to censor or punish individuals for expressing opinions that might be deemed offensive. Such laws are often vague and subjective, leading to potential abuse and selective enforcement. This creates a chilling effect where people fear speaking openly, stifling debate and free expression. Instead of combating hate, these laws can be weaponized to silence dissent and suppress unpopular viewpoints, ultimately undermining democratic values and individual liberties. People First stood in defence of open discourse, free speech, and the democratic principles that underpin our society. Upholding these values will foster trust and preserve the liberties that Australians hold dear. I am disappointed that One Nation did not stand with me on this issue. These laws extend to all people including children. When a motion was moved to exclude children under 14 from these laws, Malcolm Roberts voted against it. Children should not be penalised for the actions or thoughts of their parents. I challenge Malcolm and Pauline to debate me on the reasons why they support this law. It is government overreach plain and simple. There are already state laws against violence and inciting violence. Under the constitution, the States are responsible for policing crime not the Federal Government. There is no need for these laws. They will only be used to censor you. #auspol

While Australians are in a housing crisis, sleeping in tents and cars, the government is letting foreign owners to run rampant. Foreign ownership laws aren't being complied with and Labor’s statistics can’t be trusted. How many Australian homes should be purchased and owned by foreigners? One Nation’s answer is ZERO. No new homes, no established homes, and any foreigners who own homes now should sell it to an Australian within three years. We are in a housing crisis. Australian homes should be owned by Australians.

Our government is coming to silence dissent and disarm Australians with these new laws. They use words like Terrorist designation, then safety and harmony. Not unlike pandemic declaration, then protecting our community. Once these laws are in place, the government can apply them as they see fit. If you give up freedom for safety, you will end up with neither!

🚨 I support the recalling of parliament for the Bondi Condolence Motion ... but I do not support rushing in new laws in the aftermath of a tragedy. The further erosion of free speech and the rights of law-abiding firearm owners is chilling. Seems likely there will be Royal Commission ... so surely the proposed news laws should be drafted and then debated when the findings of that inquiry are published. Rushed laws in the aftermath of 9/11, the sub-prime crisis and COVID proved to be counter-productive. The problem with rushed laws is that we do not leave ourselves time to think through the long term consequences.

Elon Musk: Nelson Mandela's idea was that all races should be equal, not to replace one set of racist laws with another set of racist laws “You should be questioning, why is that? Why are there racist laws in South Africa? That's what you should be attacking. It's improper for there to be racist laws in South Africa. The whole idea with what Nelson Mandela, who was a great man, proposed, was that all races should be on an equal footing in South Africa. That's the right thing to do. Not to replace one set of racist laws with another set of racist laws, which is utterly wrong and improper. So, that's the deal. That all races should be treated equally and there should be no preference given to one or the other. Whereas there are now 140 laws in South Africa that basically give strong preference if you're a black South African and not otherwise. And so now I'm in this absurd situation where I was born in South Africa but cannot get a license to operate Starlink because I'm not black.” From: Interview at the Qatar Economic Forum, May 20, 2025

BREAKING: The Australian is reporting that Sussan Ley and the Liberals have agreed to support Albanese's Hate Groups Bill. This is DISTURBING on so many levels. 1) This bill has been rushed and the views of Australians have not been considered. Over 7,000 Australians made submissions about the bill which have not been considered. 2. Overnight 2 million Australians emailed MPs with concerns about the bill via Turning Point Australia's portal and their views have been completed sidelined. 3. Labor has guillotined debate in the Senate which means there will not be proper time for debate as they have drastically cut debate time today so that a vote will be forced to happen. 4. Leaving aside the serious procedural defects in the way this has been rushed, there are bigger substantive problems with this bill as it gives the Minister for Home Affairs extraordinary new powers to designate a group of Australians a "hate group" and introducing 15 year prison sentences for anyone associated with the group. Of our political leaders Pauline Hanson 🇦🇺 is the only one who has remained consistently against these huge and unprecedented attacks on Australian freedom. I'll be doing an exclusive interview with her this Thursday. What do you want me to ask?

Elon Musk: 𝕏 is simply trying to adhere to the law. If the people in a country want the laws to be different, they should make the laws different. "What we're trying to do is simply adhere to the laws in a country. If something is illegal in the United States, or if it's illegal in Europe or Brazil or wherever it might be, then we will take it down, and we'll suspend the account because we're not there to make the laws. But if speech is not illegal, then what are we doing? Now we're injecting ourselves in as a censor. And where does it stop? And who decides? Where does that path lead? I think it leads to a bad place. So, if the people in a country want the laws to be different, they should make the laws different. But otherwise, we're going to obey the law in each jurisdiction. That's it. It's not more complicated than that. We're not trying to flout the law. We're trying to adhere to the law. And if the laws change, we will change. And if the laws don't change, we won't.

🚨 Secret Loophole. Democrats in Massachusetts are exempting themselves from laws “Our State Legislature is not subject to the public records law. They're not subject to the open meeting law that they require that our cities and towns follow” “How are they bypassing that?” “Because they will exempt themselves through law. So they vote on the law. They create the laws. And what they will do is they will create these laws for others to follow and exempt themselves from having to follow those same laws. So folks are fed up with that. They're fed up with the hypocrisy. They're fed up with not having access to what's happening, and they're fed up with decisions being made that they're not really allowed to be part of.”

Good news!! The Hate Speech laws will most likely be challenged in the High Court on constitutional grounds. If you are going to restrict political communication it must be a proportionate response to the risk being prevented. In this case to secure people from political violence. If the balance is not there the High Court can strike this down !! ~ Senator Matt Canavan
