Saying ‘Australia is the best country in the world’ could soon be illegal. By Nicholas Comino in The Daily Mail.

One Nation leader Pauline Hanson has launched a fierce attack on the Albanese Government’s proposed hate speech laws, warning they could criminalise expressions of national pride …

She pointed to a provision in the Bill that outlaws the dissemination of ‘ideas of superiority’ based on race, colour, or national or ethnic origin.

‘It could make someone saying “Australia is the best country in the world” a criminal, subject to five years in prison,’ Hanson said. …

Hanson asked: ‘Will flying the Australian flag be an offence as well? That’s disseminating ideas of superiority — ‘the best’ — over a group of people based on their national origin,’ she said. …

Hanson said advocating for policies such as banning the burqa or criticising the immigration program could also be captured under the new laws.

‘Criticising the immigration program would probably be an offence because that may cause migrants to feel intimidated because of their national origin.’

All implicit comparisons of groups and countries will be illegal in a few days.

In the hands of a progressive judges (“men can have babies”), any opponent of the New Class can be thrown in jail for five years for … saying anything really.
