"The Racial Discrimination Act 1975 forbids hate speech on several grounds. The Act makes it "unlawful for a person to do an act, otherwise than in private, if the act is reasonably likely, in all the circumstances, to offend, insult, humiliate or intimidate another person or a group of people; and the act is done because of the race, colour or national or ethnic origin of the other person, or of some or all of the people in the group."
So Islam and Islamism aren't colours or races or nationalities or even ethnicities etc - they are a religious cult(s), and thus the Racial Discrimination Act definition of hate speech does not apply.
There is no 'hate speech' in discussing the very real possibilities that some Muslims may attack others, and that some non-Muslims may attack Muslims as a result of this incident in Christchurch, and certainly none in any individual saying that he/she would defend self and family in the event of being attacked.
Topsy turvy non-reasoning leads people to the position of calling a statement of intent to self-defend as 'hate speech'.
Who here has been actively advocating violence against anyone - leave out offers of self-defence.
None of it is worth the paper it's printed on
Some people are intimidated, others are not
Authorities playing a dangerous game which they'd rather remain out of in the interests of their own survival
unless they want to be exposed as causing the problems via orchestrated wars
and the participation of Australia in matters which under no circumstances could be said to be, or be seen to be, any of Australia's concern
Puppet politicians brought all these problems to our shores
and Aussies and voters alike are very aware of that
