STATE POLITICS:
BRISBANE: Forced last-minute parliamentary amendments to the Queensland Government’s hate-speech-law legislation have left Premier David Crisafulli and his senior ministers red-faced here this morning.
Government lawyers only discovered overnight that the planned criminalisation of uttering the phrase From The River to the Sea could accidentally entrap people who use it in a totally reasonable and perfectly innocent way.
In the face of jeers from the Labor Opposition, Premier Crisafulli said it had always been the intention of the government lawyers who drafted the legislation to exempt the wonderful people of Israel who use the phrase simply to express their desire to live in their spiritual, cultural and ancestral Jewish homeland of Greater Israel free from having vastly inferior races as close neighbours.
“The law was meant to focus exclusively on Palestinian supporters, especially those of baby-beheading prescribed terrorist group Hamas, who also use that phrase to signal their oft-stated intention of forcing all Israelites out of the area they falsely claim was once Palestine.
“My government will come down hard on any societal group with the oft-stated aim of the annihilation of another human group, and who are clearly hellbent on forcibly removing people they regard as vastly inferior from their midsts,” the Premier said. ” And that’s dead or alive as far as these Palestine and Hamas fanatics are concerned.”
A visibly relieved Premier watched as Opposition members one by one changed their attitude as he spoke with such conviction, with many hugging one another and shouting “Israel has the right to defend itself!” which, lucky for them, is not on the new banned list.
