12 months jail for speech
Feb 26^th, 2026 at 6:17pm

The Muslims better watch out:

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02-18/nsw-brandan-koschel-jailed-antisemitic-speech-australia-day/106358160

Quote:

A man who delivered an antisemitic speech at a protest on Australia Day has been jailed, with a Sydney court hearing the term of imprisonment "must be used to deter others".

Brandan Koschel was charged with publicly inciting hatred on the grounds of race causing fear after speaking during an open mic session at the anti-immigration gathering on January 26 at Moore Park.

A statement of agreed facts in the case identified two sentences directed at the Jewish community, which constituted the offending.

Anyone know what he actually said?

It wasn't a political comment.

It was racism.

Surely.

I doubt it. Can you give a definition that does not have the word reasonable in it? Or some other circular logic?

Look at what our multicultural society has turned into:

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02-25/nsw-rapid-response-hate-squad-under-perma...

250 police equipped with long-arm rifles will form a rapid response unit to protect against hate-related offences in Sydney.

NSW Police's task force Operation Shelter, initially established in 2023, will now transition to the Armed Response Command.

A specialised police operations centre running 24 hours, seven days a week, will assist the unit with training, logistics and intelligence.

Really? So is FD here to excuse publicly inciting hatred on the grounds of, ahem, race?

Despicable stuff.

Funny how all the edgy, gay, transgressive, proggy kids are running to the milk monitors at the slightest sign of push-back.

"Mummy, mummy, he called me a lying grub".
