Archie Bunker from the 1970s sitcom would have got life in jail with no parole
under these new laws.

But in the 1970s we had :

Alf Garnett in Till Death Us Do Part.

Archie Bunker in - All in the Family.

Eddie Booth - in Love thy Neighbor - &

The Black and White Minstrel show.

None of them would be shown today on TV.

‘’ Salute.

Children performing the Bellamy salute to the flag of the United States, 1941
The Bellamy salute is a straightened hand and palm-down salute to the flag of the United States. Created by James B. Upham as the gesture that was to accompany the Pledge of Allegiance of the United States of America, whose text had been written by Francis Bellamy, it was known as the flag salute during the period when it was used, from 1892 to 1942, with the Pledge of Allegiance. Bellamy promoted the salute and thus it was retroactively renamed after him’’

Remember that if you raise your arm in the prescribed manner and you get nabbed, you were practicing the Bellamy Salute which can be described as anti Nazi.

Posters seized by police at a Canberra venue last week under recently introduced Commonwealth hate laws will be returned without criminal proceedings.

I hope they haven't creased them.

I guess this is how a male turns into a Homa-sexual.
