" A rushed legislative process of this nature undermines confidence, increases the risk of unintended consequences, and does not assist community unity or social cohesion."

    [Image of white-haired Rowan Atkinson in blue jacket, white shirt and blue tie] “To criticize a person for their race is manifestly irrational and ridiculous, but to criticize their religion, that is a right. That is a freedom. The freedom to criticize ideas, any ideas - even if they are sincerely held beliefs - is one of the fundamental freedoms of society. A law which attempts to say you can criticize and ridicule ideas as long as they are not religious ideas is a very peculiar law indeed.” -Rowan Atkinson Spirit Science @SpiritScienceOfficial

    It's strange @Tooden
    Judaism is the religion of a tiny minority of Australians. Zionism isn't a religion at all. Yet Zionism (which pretends to be Jewish) is behind most attacks on our freedoms.

    True @Tooden but we can't ignore them. If we don't fight back, they'll succeed by default.
