• 0:02
  Boy, Jeff Allen. Thanks listening to the slippery
• 0:05
  slope. so last week in Queensland we had reports on
• 0:10
  hate symbol laws being proposed here in Queensland, obviously
• 0:17
  Anastasia Palace, Shea She sees a something that will help.
• 0:23
  Give us some few extra extra votes.
• 0:26
  I want to read through these stories.
• 0:27
  I think it's B. I think it's actually lighting
• 0:32
  shining the path for where we're actually going to go through
• 0:36
  what the guardian says. They're all the stories are
• 0:38
  almost identical with it's the guardian or the ABC that just
• 0:42
  copy and pasted basically everything.
• 0:43
  So Nazi salute will be captured and proposed ban on hate
• 0:47
  symbols. The Queensland government says
• 0:50
  queenslanders queensland's attorney general has confirmed
• 0:54
  the Nazi salute. Will be captured under proposed
• 0:59
  laws, that ban hate symbols and strengthen the state's response
• 1:03
  vilification. So Shannon fenneman said she had
• 1:08
  been shocked by the presence of Nazis as an Anti Trans protest
• 1:12
  in Melbourne. Earlier this month I did speak
• 1:14
  about that like a pointed out it's funny that the police were
• 1:19
  able to able to stop transgender protesters but then Came to the
• 1:27
  Nazis supposed neo-nazis. They couldn't stop them from
• 1:32
  interfering with the protest. They couldn't stop them and all
• 1:35
  I could do was actually walk them past the supposed Auntie
• 1:39
  trans protest which is actually just I think it was women
• 1:45
  wanting to voice that want to have.
• 1:51
  Amplify their own voice and say how that they are not being
• 1:54
  allowed to speak in public. Their own voices, are being shut
• 1:58
  down. The whole thing is a bit weird.
• 2:01
  Anyway, these hateful and disgusting views must be
• 2:04
  condemned publicly and unequivocally.
• 2:06
  She told Parliament, fenneman said she expected someone
• 2:11
  performing a Nazi salute in public would be captured within
• 2:14
  you circumstances of aggravation in the legislation, in
• 2:18
  particular, there could be a strong.
• 2:20
  Encase. That a group of neo-nazis
• 2:22
  saluting on the steps of parliament, such as we saw in
• 2:26
  Melbourne, just a fortnight ago, would commit the offense.
• 2:29
  But of course, every prosecution will depend on the
• 2:33
  circumstances, the legislation introduced into Queensland
• 2:37
  Parliament Sardis. Last Wednesday will ensure that
• 2:40
  Those who commit crimes and motivated by prejudice against
• 2:43
  specified. Groups, will face tougher
• 2:46
  penalties, including longer custodial sentences?
• 2:49
  Existing His will be amended to provide for a new circumstance
• 2:53
  of aggravation, including for common assault, going armed.
• 2:57
  So as to cause fear threatening violence assault occasioning,
• 3:01
  bodily harm, willful damage, trespass, and public nuisance.
• 3:06
  The proposed laws will also modify the criminal code to
• 3:09
  introduce a prohibited symbols offense.
• 3:13
  This is where I think it gets a bit more interesting for Cormier
• 3:18
  conspiracist, I just think Parts like like what this is, modify
• 3:25
  the criminal code to prohibit a Pro 8, prohibited symbols
• 3:29
  offense, which will be in the display of hate symbols which
• 3:34
  includes including those tied to Nazism and the Islamic State I
• 3:41
  did a podcast, think it's a week ago, I didn't release it on
• 3:45
  YouTube because YouTube Just Basically, they just don't allow
• 3:51
  anything to do with my anything to do with religion or
• 3:55
  Christianity, the Bible. They just don't allow to go out.
• 3:59
  So I only release it on the other, the other platforms.
• 4:04
  However, my opinion is that it's in the very, very near future,
• 4:09
  the Bible and Christianity will end up being classified.
• 4:13
  Well, the Bible be will be classified as a source of hate
• 4:16
  speech and Jannetty will be banned.
• 4:22
  I think the ball will probably be banned in the very near
• 4:25
  future. But first off, you'll be
• 4:27
  classified as a source of hate speech and teaching hate because
• 4:33
  obviously the Bible You know, is is not put it this way.
• 4:41
  It's not pro rainbow. If you want to meet.
• 4:48
  So, I think it's, this is, this is possibly a way when it says
• 4:53
  introduced a prohibited symbols offense.
• 4:56
  I think this is possibly a way that they will eventually be
• 4:59
  able to sneak in including the Bible.
• 5:04
  Okay, so the new offense will Outlaw the public display public
• 5:07
  distribution or public or prohibited symbols in
• 5:10
  circumstances that might reasonably be expected to cause
• 5:15
  a member of the public to feel menaced harassed or offended.
• 5:20
  The government's hate symbol framework will include Nazi
• 5:23
  tattoos as revealed by Guardians.
• 5:25
  Try this month, the public distribution of publication of
• 5:28
  prohibited symbols online will also be prohibited.
• 5:32
  They would be an exemption for Hindus Buddhists and jains.
• 5:36
  John's and a player's head for whom swastika is a religious
• 5:39
  symbols. There will also be an exemption
• 5:42
  for when hate symbols were used for educational purposes.
• 5:47
  Sentiment said, the bill will also allow police to search a
• 5:50
  vehicle or vehicle without a warrant.
• 5:53
  If They reasonably suspect, the person has committed or is
• 5:58
  committing an offense. It's a very Broad.
• 6:06
  Very broad outline of their, you know, without they reasonably
• 6:13
  suspect, it's easy to draw to draw would be easy to back up.
• 6:18
  This reasonable suspicion of of displaying hate symbol.
• 6:26
  Anyway there's I don't know that's full of holes.
• 6:29
  It's I think it's I personally think we're giving our police
• 6:34
  way too much power. We seem to just be constantly
• 6:37
  handing a lot of it over definitely against these symbols
• 6:40
  of hate. However, as being someone who's
• 6:46
  been on the receiving end of plenty of hate in my life, you
• 6:52
  know, from from from childhood, I always took the stance that I
• 6:57
  got into a lot of fights when I was young kid because of racial
• 7:01
  slurs and things like this set against me to me, however, I say
• 7:08
  other than just getting into fisticuffs basically.
• 7:12
  And I wasn't any brilliant fighter when I was younger
• 7:14
  either, but other than that, I also also took the took the was
• 7:20
  obvious opinion that, you know, someone was wanting to go around
• 7:25
  using racial slurs to describe other people.
• 7:29
  Realistically, it's, you know, being being situations are
• 7:35
  Banning them for speaking or being them for, you know,
• 7:38
  outlawing. Their behavior is not really the
• 7:40
  way to go. I think it's it's
• 7:43
  Counterproductive, you can educate people.
• 7:47
  You can help them to see, that's maybe you're not the bad person,
• 7:53
  maybe just because you are a different race. different
• 7:59
  slightly, different culture, whatever doesn't you can Change
• 8:04
  their point of views by befriending people by helping to
• 8:07
  educate people. I don't think just being in
• 8:10
  people and being their views or or doing this bending.
• 8:15
  Symbols is the way to go. I think it takes us down a
• 8:19
  completely different path anyway.
• 8:21
  So, you know, and I definitely don't agree with this giving
• 8:24
  more police, police more Powers. Okay, goes on to say.
• 8:28
  So our awesome and honorable Premier and the Stasia Palace.
• 8:33
  Shea said there was no place in this community for hate crimes.
• 8:37
  Obviously, there's no as a community, we reject the use of
• 8:40
  hate symbols and acknowledge the impact.
• 8:42
  They have on society. And security of queenslanders,
• 8:46
  our government will help protect queenslanders from extreme jump
• 8:49
  Prejudice and hate the chief executive of Multicultural
• 8:53
  Australia, Christine, casely or costly.
• 8:57
  Have you say? It said she was pleased and
• 8:59
  relieved to see the introduction of the reforms.
• 9:03
  The laws will enhance the safety of every person and every
• 9:06
  community in Queensland. I don't think so.
• 9:10
  But anyway, especially for those culturally and linguistically
• 9:14
  diverse communities, who all too often face harassment.
• 9:18
  As they go about their lives in public spaces and places of
• 9:20
  worship. Now, this when she says, the
• 9:23
  laws will enhance the safety of every person and every community
• 9:26
  in Queensland, as we can all see is happening in Western Society.
• 9:33
  These when these these kinds of laws are put in place, they seem
• 9:37
  to only protect one side. As we can see some things that
• 9:43
  have happened in the states in the United States when one group
• 9:49
  might attack a another group, okay?
• 9:53
  That holds, let's say the cross as a as a symbol of their faith.
• 10:00
  Apparently, that's all fine. That is all great.
• 10:05
  And there is no REM occations and they're they're allowed to
• 10:08
  do that because those that groups have been held back and
• 10:11
  obviously you know religious groups that would hold the cross
• 10:15
  as a symbol of their faith or they're bad people.
• 10:18
  Anyway and they're Antiquated religion so I just don't think
• 10:23
  that is going to help every person.
• 10:26
  She goes on to say that I think it's very it's going to be very
• 10:29
  One-sided. So she says, Multicultural
• 10:33
  Australia was proud to have been a part of cohesive communities
• 10:36
  coalition. The legislation comes up to
• 10:42
  three men were charged with damage offenses.
• 10:45
  In January, when the Queensland government was yet to our board,
• 10:48
  the symbols of hate police said, one of the banners these contain
• 10:53
  a Nazi symbol and the words Hitler was right.
• 10:57
  Okay. So obviously you know me
• 11:00
  personally Anti-hitler anti-nazi, as I think everyone
• 11:09
  should be but I do thoroughly believe that education is the
• 11:13
  best way to defeat racism. And, you know, and it's better
• 11:22
  to have those thoughts out there in the public and be able to
• 11:26
  discuss them openly transparent. Transparency, is always better.
• 11:31
  We keeping everything closed off.
• 11:34
  Like I said, I think in the future Christianity will be
• 11:37
  banned when I say Christianity. I think Christianity where you
• 11:41
  believe the Bible Genesis through to Revelation that it is
• 11:47
  the inerrant word of God. If that's the kind of Christian
• 11:51
  you are, I think you're going to find yourself coming into some
• 11:55
  very hard times. Very quickly, I think
• 11:58
  Christianity will be banned. I think the Bible is soon going
• 12:02
  to be itself labeled as a source of hate speech and I think it's
• 12:08
  going to be banned. I think legislation like this
• 12:12
  will be the vehicle used to bring about that change.
• 12:20
  Let's don't think you get there by bringing in more laws and
• 12:23
  trying to control and force it down people's throats.
• 12:29
  That's just my opinion. I think we're on a different
• 12:32
  path. This is just Look over here,
• 12:35
  look at the good work we're doing.
• 12:36
  And then over on the other side, they're going to be slipping in
• 12:39
  things that people are not going to be happy with in lower.
• 12:43
  Hey, that's my opinion on my tan.
• 12:46
  Would this up on YouTube because it'll probably not get the light
• 12:50
  get to see the light of day anyway, but we'll see.
• 12:53
  So, anyway, so it'll definitely be up on the other platforms.
• 12:57
  Thanks for supporting me. And please let me know what you
• 13:01
  think Jay felon. Thanks for listening to the
• 13:04
  slippery slope. And please let me know what you
• 13:01
  think Jay felon. Thanks for listening to the
