What are they going to do? Throw her back in jail? By Adehola Ore, community reporter for The Guardian.
Federal police say they have “received reports of a crime” in relation to comments made to the media by Pauline Hanson this week. …
Bilal El-Hayek, the mayor of Canterbury Bankstown in western Sydney, said earlier on Friday that the One Nation leader should face charges over her “highly inflammatory” comments about Muslims. In El-Hayek’s council area, more than 23% of residents are Muslim, according to the 2021 census. He told the ABC on Friday that hate speech laws were “quite clear” with a reference to public incitement of hatred and violence. …
In response to the news, first reported by Guardian Australia, Hanson said: “They are trying to use Labor’s new hate speech laws to put me back in jail.”
Leftists and their authoritarian allies are now openly demanding that Senator Pauline Hanson be arrested and thrown in jail under Labor’s draconian new “hate crime” laws.
In classic leftist/fascist fashion, they have zero interest in engaging in the contest of ideas and debating their policies in the arena of free speech.
No — they demand total submission. Anyone who refuses to bend the knee, kowtow to their warped multicultural fantasy, or stay silent about the real threats facing our nation must be censored, silenced, and now imprisoned.
But here’s what these out-of-touch elites and virtue-signallers utterly fail to grasp: Australians are absolutely sick to death of their endless woke nonsense, gaslighting, and two-tier policing.
By baying for Pauline Hanson’s arrest they’re not weakening her. They’re supercharging her support and One Nation’s momentum.
Every attempt to shut her down only proves her point and wakes up more everyday Aussies who’ve had enough.
The backlash will be fierce, and it will backfire spectacularly on the left.
Watch support for Pauline Hanson and One Nation surge as a direct result of this blatant overreach.
Everything the non-left says is hate speech, but the Koran is not hate speech. Lefty world. Go figure.
The point is not what was said, whether or not some bit of speech breaches some vague standard, but to whom the hate speech laws are applied. Very obviously very selective.
