This is genuinely unbelievably dangerous, and I'd like to explicitly make it clear to everyone exactly why.
If this Bill passes, Australia is an autocracy, not a democracy.
Under this Bill, the AFP Minister can designate an organisation as a prohibited hate group based on past conduct, including past online statements.
Once designated, membership or support of that group becomes criminal going forward.
Section 80.2BF(7) defines "engages in conduct in a public place" to include "communicating through social media and other electronic methods".
The bill also explicitly states it's "irrelevant whether hatred actually occurs or whether anyone truly felt fear" (s80.2BF(3)).
WTAF.
What clown world bullshit is this?
It gets worse:
No procedural fairness is required before the Minister makes these decisions (s114A.4(5)).
Again, WTAF.
Do people understand what this means?
You can be unilaterally declared a hate group from past tweets, then have future tweets designated as hate, even if they don't cause any actual fear, and THE MINISTER ALONE CAN DECIDE THIS.
WTF.
This is completely undemocratic.
Anyone who supports this does not believe in the rule of law, does not believe in the Westminster system of government, does not believe in anything our ancestors have fought and died for.
It's a fucking disgrace, to say the least.
And they are rushing this bullshit through with 2 days of submissions for review.
This is absolutely outrageous behaviour by a government that has continually shown it does not respect Australian citizens nor the rule of law.
It is autocratic in every respect.

If you have to vote like your life depends on it, then politicians already have too much power over your life. A free society isn’t one where you beg rulers to be kind. It’s one where rulers don’t have the power to ruin you in the first place.

A dog has had to be put down after being repeatedly kicked by a group of teenagers.
Sasha, a nine-year-old rottweiler, was tied to a tree outside Marketown shopping centre on Steel St in Newcastle West when she was allegedly attacked around midday on Friday.
There is something very wrong with our country & the people in it.
I’m really starting to dislike humans 😡

the world is incredibly fucked. and youre not going to unfuck it with more hatred.
we've been headed down a dark road for a very long time...the toxic foods, big pharma poison, the school shootings, wars, bombing families, people being horrible to eachother on the internet, and now this....
something is deeply wrong and we all know it.
we just can't put our finger on exactly what it is....
this isnt about politics...or even about seed oils.
it is good vs evil. it is love vs hate, God vs nihilism. it is biblical.
people are going insane...and it is because basically every single way in which we are living our lives is wrong...
people buried in debt, junk food and tik tok calling it life. companies poisoning us for profits.
the education, the food, the cities, the jobs, the values...it's all backwards.
and everyone is ripping eachothers heads off because they dont know how to be happy anymore...on both sides of the political spectrum.
we are meant for so much more...
i dont know how it happens, but what i do know is its not by patching this system together...
we need a massive fucking awakening.
you dont make people healthier by making junk food healthier...you wake people up to what real food is...
and the same is going to be true with society...
we cant keep pretending this is normal...that this is how we're meant to live, at eachothers throats. because if we keep going like this it's going to get way worse.
it's time we stop treating human lives like they're trivial.
it's time we welcome the sacred back into our lives again.
