That’s not the criteria, you’ve modified it, the actual criteria are:
The statement is made publicly
A member of the group engages in conduct intending to either: promote or incite hatred of another person or persons because of their race, colour or national ethnic origin; or disseminate ideas of superiority over or hatred of another person or group of persons because of their race, colour or national ethnic origin*
A judge finds it reasonable for a person in Australia of the targeted race, colour or national ethnic origin, to be intimidated or feel threatened by the statement.
What’s more these aren’t legal criteria of arrest, because the racial vilification section DID NOT PASS, these are the internal criteria for ASIO to use when classifying hate groups.
Hate Groups then have a right to contest ASIOs determination in the courts.
All the law is saying is that members of a designated hate group can’t threaten Australians with violence based on their national ethnic origin.
You (who I assume arent part of a designated hate group) can say Israelis connected to the bombing of innocence civilians deserve to be beaten and killed. Israel is a nation, not an ethnicity.
But the Racial Vilification section didn’t pass anyways, and I’m speaking as an individual (not a designated hate group) so I can’t be charged as an individual for what I’ve said.
It’s entirely legal to criticise and even be hateful about Israel in Australia. You’ll not find anyone of any merit claiming otherwise. Hence the article I provided.
P.S Australia doesn’t have any designated hate groups yet. Not even the Nazis have been classified that way yet.
I have not modified it at all, I took it directly from the pdf.
Regardless of the wording, I have zero faith our government and future ones will use this in good faith and not abuse it to favour Israel’s bullshit just like they have supported them from the get-go in this genocide.
