The Government is using a tragedy to crack down on free speech | The West Report
Following the Bondi massacre, Australian governments are taking swift action. Too fast and in the wrong direction.
Before investigations are completed and the facts emerge, political leaders and sections of the media are already using this tragedy to justify comprehensive crackdowns on peaceful protests and political opposition.
We examine threats against Jewish peace activists, the failure of police responses, efforts to expand the IHRA’s definition of antisemitism, and increasing pressure on Albanians to take measures that could reshape public debate across universities, media, arts organizations and civil society.
Gun laws saved lives after the Port Arthur massacre. Restricting freedom of expression will not work.
