  1. If Labor voters are having a tough time with this one: The LNP will get to use this against their critics too.

  2. What does harm to the integrity of a referendum mean?

    Does it mean expressing a public view that is contrary to the outcome desired by the PM in a referendum ?

    Does this legislation mean that discussing the effectiveness of measures mandated to prevent the spread of a virus is out of bounds ?

    This could not be much more vague and open to abuse by authority if they tried.

    Probably best to say nothing about anything, once this is passed. Section 14 (c) in particular means you will always be causing serious harm to someone or group. In its current form, rejecting Satan and all his works is serious harm to a group under this legislation.

    So it’s good news for Satanists, I suppose. Not sure it’s the voter demographic Albo was targeting.

  4. Please post the whole thing, this is the second time this has been put on this sub today and this screen shot is very out of context. Ironically your post is misinformation.

  5. Looks like this is doing the rounds in telegram or 8chan cooker/incel groups. 2nd time in a few hours.

    Couple of years ago you were all immunology experts. Then geopolitical experts in eastern Europe.
    Last year constitutional law experts and now legal experts once again with your fancy blue highlighting skillz.
    Is there anything our cookers can’t do? Bravo lads 👏

  6. 14C. One of those categories is not like the other…

    Religion is a set of ideas and beliefs, last time I checked you can have shit ideas and shot beliefs, therefore your religion can be shit too…

    One in particular comes to mind for its backwards views in the modern time, guess we can’t criticise that either.

  7. Yes, that’s what serious harm is. So what?

    That doesn’t tell us what triggers the law. Serious harm PLUS easily proven false. Or serious harm PLUS the person is purposely trying to deceive people.
