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.

Looks like Labor thinks it’s a good idea to emulate the fascist chaos in the U S A
Good luck with future votes Albo
A very poor analogy. The Constitution of the USA guarantees freedom of speech vastly superior to our “implied” freedom of political speech. Why do you think Inman-Grant doesn’t want to testify before a Congressional Committee?
I worry for the future of Australia. When Australia desperately needs strong leadership, we have weakness. Even when Rudd made Albanese his Deputy during his very brief 2nd term, I knew then that Albanese was a cowardly wimp. He’s been underestimated for a reason. He’s a calculated manipulator. His eyes clearly convey the type of man he is.
If we had an alternative Labor leader, I believe a woman of ethic should be given a go. Clare O’Neil has always stood out to me. But she’s hidden in obscurity, possibly because of her potential.
There’s Chalmers, but he’s a fine Treasurer. He needs to be let loose to do great things as a Reforming Treasurer. Of course he’s held back by that wimpish Albanese.
When Australia needs strength, Albanese falls to pieces. His decision-making is fraught with indecision. Except AUKUS. I wonder why?
The real abuses of the Anti-Semitism bill will only be made clear in the teaching programs provided to Australian schools and universities. Since the Criminal Code Act 1995 is to be amended to make it a criminal offence to criticize the state of Israel these views will be put forcefully in compulsory anti-Semitism classes. Will Australian parents who dispute the definition of anti-Semitism as defined in the legislation have the right to refuse permission for their children to take part in anti-Semitism classes? Or will they be committing a criminal offence in doing so? Will school teachers (and university lecturers) have the right to refuse to teach such classes on ethical grounds? There seems to be no way the government can legally force the public to participate in these indoctrination programs.
Why all the attention to anti semitism? It won”t work. Albo is only concerned with a minimal problem. He’s a yes man. He magnifies the problem
There are other nationalities more important to prevent ‘ hate’ comment
In fact he will only make this little problem worse. AUSSIES WILL SAY AND DO WHAT THEY WANT. . There are more important issues to consider ie What about Australian citizens opinions about this blatant Jewish favouritism.?
Absolutely 100% right. So this ‘law’ makes it illegal to criticise Zionists, but it’s perfectly OK to criticise, Muslims, White people. Somalis, British, Canadians, Americans etc. etc. If this isn’t racism I don’t know what is. Nobody is against law abiding Jewish people, but we are very much against the genocide being perpetrated in Israel against the Palestinians & being waged by a wanted war criminal & his paid &/or blackmailed minions, including Trump. Zionism is not a
religion or a race, it is an ideology & not every Jew is a Zionist, just as not every Muslim follows Sharia Law. Labelling people is divisive & is a deliberate political tactic to create hatred against certain people the govt doesn’t like.
Albanese is the Boss, and according to him the sooner the Opposition understand that the sooner he can get things done and the better it will be for the country. So thinks the Man.
He is a Communist Dictator Wanta-be. The person has no leadership skills or man management skills. He blunders along in his own mind convincing him self that he is doing well. As fare as I am concerned he is a delusional Little Bully with a Black Book on his fellow Labor Members. How else would the Creation get to where he is. He has a desire to drag the country down to his own level, and destroy the Middle Class in the nation. The problem being is, the middle class are the people who keep this nation afloat.
In my opinion, it seems to me that Labor’s proposed laws risk overreach by criminalizing legitimate discussion about Israel and Zionism, potentially infringing free speech while narrowly privileging one community’s perspective.
Strong, evidence-based protections against antisemitism are essential, but they must not come at the cost of legal clarity or broader civil liberties.
If this passes as is, Australians will soon need a lawyer to comment on world affairs.
This isn’t protection – it’s a leash on free speech. Laws like this punish honesty, not hate. In trying to shield one perspective, the government risks silencing us all.
Absolutely correct, Fred! There is a world of difference between antisemitism (hatred, prejudice, and discrimination against Jews based on their ethnicity or religion) and political discourse on the actions of Israel and/or its government. Of course, there are some people who will try and conflate Zionism (a Jewish nationalist movement for a homeland in Israel) with antisemitism (hostility towards Jews), but such conflation is in error. Yes, the relationship between antisemitism and Zionism is complex, but the two concepts are nevertheless distinct. Laws against antisemitism must not be allowed to outlaw legitimate political discourse.
Way back in 1969 I was (for that year only) the University of Adelaide Dental Faculty Rep. on the then UNIVERSITY OF ADELAIDE Student Representative Council.
Meetings would start at around 7pm and (on occasions) went as late as 2am the next day, such was the enthusiasm brought to the table by those with real political ambition.
The then SRC PRESIDENT, was preceded by a future SA LABOR PREMIER, (John Bannon) and subsequently was succeeded by another future SA LABOR PREMIER (Lyn Arnold) such was the Labor supporting infestation of Student Politics then.
It would appear that over the years, nothing has changed.
Our current PM has followed on that same pathway.
BUT, even as the PM, he behaves as if he is still in University Politics and NOT as the PM of a nation.
He has no business background and political cunning is what has brought him to his current position of power.
It would now appear his demise is very near.
I predict Albenese will resign as PM this year
(before he is deposed by those behind him with personal ambitions of high office) so that he can walk away and maximise his Parliamentary Pension at the PM level.
The Zionists, the WEF, the NWO are all the same thing. When they invade the hierarchy of any political institution, the ideology is only for the convenience of the current times. Right now, the Left is the new Right and vice versa. “Why rent a lawyer when you can buy a judge” quickly becomes “why rent a politician when you can buy a party”
Realistically speaking those in the community and the MSM responsible for hateful speech in relation to Hamas and the Palestinians are guilty of actual antisemitism.
As someone who has friends who are Jewish, all of whom are against the current Israele genocide in Gaza, I have to wonder how a people that survived the Nazi holcaust could do the same thing to another race. Things that make you go HUMMMMM?
Have a look at the doco “Europa the Last Battle Parts 1 – 10 Les. After looking at only the 1st 2 you will have the answer to your question, but all of them are very informative. We’ve been lied to for decades my friend.
How does “new laws” Stop Physco terrorists from killing people ??
they DON’T care about Laws ,
It could be argued that if members of a “target group” go after others then that in itself is implied hate speech by the target group against those others.
