Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s and the Labor Party’s proposed new hate speech / antisemitism laws are chopping and changing hard and fast and make the government look extremely incompetent.

On Saturday (17/1/26) Albanese announced a deal had been done with The Greens to get the new gun laws passed next week and he was removing racial vilification offences from the proposed hate speech reforms.

What impact the changes have who knows and given it’s changed once it could change again.

The new laws are designed for the benefit of one group which is Israeli supporting Zionist Jews in Australia.

Israeli supporting Zionist Jews will be able to make complaints to police because they are offended or feel unsafe because of what someone has said about Israel or Zionists.

On the other hand, Australian Jews who don’t support Israel, such as the Jewish Council of Australia, are against the new laws as they currently stand.

Dr Max Kaiser, Executive Officer, Jewish Council of Australia:

“As a Jewish organisation, we take antisemitism extremely seriously. But rushing through sweeping criminal laws is not going to make Jews safer. Racism is not defeated by expanding police or migration powers or weakening safeguards on free expression. It is defeated by addressing root causes, investing in prevention, and building trust and solidarity across communities.”

“If the Government is serious about tackling antisemitism and racism, it should slow down and commit to an evidence-based, whole-of-society approach — including fully funding the Australian Human Rights Commission’s National Anti-Racism Framework.” (Click here to read more)

Other religious leaders are also against the new laws in their current form.

This isn’t Albanese’s and Labor’s first rodeo when it comes to trying to control what voters can and can’t say and it shows Labor won’t stop with their attempts at thought control which should scare every Australian.

Virtually all the opposition parties and politicians are not supporting the new hate speech / antisemitism laws because they know it would be political suicide to do so. The same as they didn’t support Labor’s last attempt to control voter’s communications in 2024 with the failed Misinformation / Disinformation bill.

Greens Senator David Shoebridge covers some of the key failings of the proposed hate speech laws below:

I posted the below question on “X” (15/1/26): (Click here to see on “X”)

Dear Prime Minister Anthony Albanese @AlboMP, will the below t-shirt be legal under your proposed new hate speech laws? It says on the t-shirt: “Israel’s Genocide of Palestinians in Gaza has to stop”

If the federal government gets away with banning us from criticising foreign governments, they will then try to ban us from criticising the Australian government. And they tried it before with the failed Misinformation / Disinformation bill in 2024.

I posted another question on “X” as per below (16/1/26): (Click here to see on “X”)

Dear Prime Minister Anthony Albanese @AlboMP, the biggest promoters of hate speech are Rupert Murdoch and Lachlan Murdoch and politicians. Will they be covered by the new hate speech laws or be exempt as they were in the failed misinformation/disinformation laws?

Of course, I haven’t received a response from Prime Minister Anthony Albanese but it’s worth putting the questions to Albanese. Politicians like pushing their propaganda on social media but will not answer legitimate questions.

Below is an example of what is likely to come and it only happened a couple of days ago.

A lady was charged by police with leaving an antisemitic message on voicemail, a week after the Bondi shootings, but there was no message left on voicemail as it was an accidental pocket dial.

But the complainant, a Jewish lady, said she thought she could hear gunshots which caused her immediate fear and nervousness. So, she made a complaint to the police.

While I can understand the Jewish lady being fearful after thinking she could hear gunshots there seems no excuse or reason for the police to have charged the lady who made an accidental call and left no message.

As the lawyer says in the above video, the police have acted with a charge first and ask questions later mentality and I think that will also happen with the new hate speech laws if they are passed in the current form.

I think the same police mentality of charge first and ask questions later possibly played a part in charges against Muamer Nukic, a member of the Queensland Police Service’s Protective Services Group, and his 41 charges over alleged antisemitic comments on social media as I previously wrote about last week.

There are not enough police as it is, and they want the police to waste time on social media posts which will mean other more serious crimes are not dealt with and investigated.

The only people supporting the proposed new hate speech / antisemitism laws are the Labor Party and a few leaders of Australian Zionist Jews.

The Labor Party are in a mess of their own making because they continually listen to all the outside noises and jump when they get scared.

Albanese is not a strong leader with a clear vision, he is a weak leader who is a career politician and he would already be planning his retirement and big fat paying directorships, consultancy and lobbying jobs. And that is one of the reasons why when the Israel / Zionist lobby say jump, Albanese says how high.

Given what a mess the proposed new hate speech and antisemitism laws are, one has to wonder how big a mess the Royal Commission into the Bondi Shootings and antisemitism will be.

Admin: Eight weeks ago, I launched a campaign with a simple goal: find 200 new monthly supporters so I can keep doing this work as a fully independent journalist, running this website and the YouTube channel without corporate backing or paywalls.

Since then, 86 wonderful people have stepped up and become monthly supporters. That’s huge, thank you!

We’re now at 114 to go.

If you’ve been enjoying the work and aren’t yet supporting monthly, I’d be incredibly grateful if you’d consider joining them. Here’s the situation:

Like most independent journalists, I’m basically a one-person small business. Right now a lot of us are feeling the squeeze, just like many small businesses and households are. To stay afloat and keep bringing you the reporting I do, I need roughly 200 more people chipping in whatever they can comfortably afford each month.

Anything from $3 to $100 (or whatever works for your budget) makes a real difference. There’s no lock-in, you can cancel or adjust anytime.

If that feels doable for you right now, you can see all the options on the donations page by clicking here.

Your support, whether it’s a monthly donation, a one-time donation, or just sharing the work, is what keeps independent voices like this one alive.
