We've had laws against speech that incites discrimination, hatred, racism and violence for a very long time now like a lot of other sensible countries as we do not want to go down the "American Road". ;-)WordsNow its garden tools, er knives ... https://apnews.com/article/australia-machete-ban-melbourne-gang-fight-74d772c64f51bb92c61d39391300579e As for the machete ban it had to happen as there has been far too many incidents involving gangs of youths wanting to fight each other in the middle of crowded shopping centres with such weapons of late. If you want to live in the violent "Wild West" then Australia isn't to place you want to be, didn't our last elections here prove that? Personally I wouldn't want to live anywhere else. |

WordsOur previous government was obsessed with cracking down on foul-mouthed criticism of the government on social media, even critique of hundreds of nobodies which no one noticed. The penal code doesn't allow for that; freedom of speech applies. But a house search ordered by a public prosecutor, followed by a penal order (hundreds... up to a couple thousand euros) intimidates ordinary people. In keeping with Mao's axiom: 'Punish one; Educate a hundred'. Few affected people (not the brightest minds btw...) dared to risk the costs of a lawyer to defend against such intrusive prosecution practices on behalf of politicians. A few prominent lawyers did; and discovered that mainly two Green ministers had engaged a cease-and-desist agency, had an automated search for undesirable opinions about them on social media. They personally signed hundreds of criminal complaints for defamation without ever noticing the perpetrators misdeeds. They forgot that MPs and ministers aren't majesties, above the judgment of the people. Beginning of this year it got so worse that the American TV broadcast "60 minutes" aired an Interview with three German public prosecutors and judges where these people grinned about the staggering effect of house searches on ordinary nobodies who posted an unfair critique or an insult on social media. One extreme example was a photo of the Interior Minister Faeser at a memorial event who holds a sign in front of her which reads "I remember". The perpetrator simply changed the text into "Ich hasse die Meinungsfreiheit!" (I hate freedom of speech) and posted it on social media. He was arrested for libel and sentenced to seven months prison... on probation. Source (just the photo... article in German only) The current government appears to have put an end to this nonsense, which was a clear attack on freedom of speech by leftist and Green Ministers. |
