Trump administration warns Albanese over new hate speech laws. By Oscar Godsell at Sky News.

The Trump administration has issued a stark warning to the Albanese government over its new hate speech legislation, raising concerns about freedom of speech. …

United States Under Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy Sarah B Rogers cautioned that the laws could be “deeply perverse” and create a double standard.

“A statute that imprisons you for calling to deport jihadist extremists — but provides safe harbor if you are a jihadist extremist — would be deeply perverse,” she said.

“Let’s hope this isn’t what Australia intends.”
