  1. *A group can be prohibited under the new law if the governor-general makes a regulation prohibiting it. The governor-general acts on the advice of the minister for the Australian Federal Police. There are a number of conditions that must be met before a group can be banned.*

    *First, the minister must be satisfied on reasonable grounds that the group has engaged in conduct constituting a “hate crime”, or has been associated with a hate crime, by preparing, planning, assisting, or advocating engaging in such conduct. This is the initial trigger for banning a group.*

    *Second, the minister must be satisfied that banning the group is reasonably necessary to protect the Australian community from social, economic, psychological and physical harm.*

    By my understanding, One Nation, The Liberals, Labor and The Greens very easily meet the requirements mentioned. If fact they would be the most obvious ones guilty of these crimes.

    When are they all being banned?

  2. Really? That’s the whole objective. Pro-Zionists desperately want to shutdown any criticism of them or their land of milk and honey and will seize on any opportunity to further that goal.

  3. The idea that ASIO must initiate the hate group classification is no safeguard. ASIO works at the direction of the Executive Government.
