I mean, this to me is not what Australia should be.

So if the outcome is this idea somehow the public protest is dangerous, so we have to curtail free speech, which we're already seeing.

In Queensland, there are people currently being tried for simply saying the river to the sea or globalise the intifada, whether they say it or they have it on their T-shirts.

New South Wales is considering the same thing.

how does that have anything to do with security and safety for the jewish community i'm telling you it has the opposite effect it's ridiculous it's sort of a band-aid so-called solution which is a knee-jerk reaction so the royal commissioners have serious so-called solutions and proposals but that won't happen unless there is a robust conversation and analysis about i would argue the relationship between

anti-Semitism in Israel and the weaponisation of anti-Semitism in the service of defending and blindly supporting Israel.

And I fear that conversation won't be happening at all or very small way.

Thanks for having me.
