Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Today's biggest news from The Australian. I'm Claire Harvey with
- 0:04Speaker 1: the Front's afternoon headlines. A magistrate has denied bail to
- 0:09Speaker 1: Sydney man Brandon Koschel, thirty one, who allegedly made an
- 0:13Speaker 1: anti Semitic speech at a March for Australia rally on
- 0:16Speaker 1: Australia Day.
- 0:17Speaker 2: The fact is, all these politicians that came up here
- 0:20Speaker 2: smoke about bravery, all that bullshit because I don't know
- 0:23Speaker 2: what it means. They came up here, daved a bunch
- 0:25Speaker 2: of words, but none of them called out the fact
- 0:27Speaker 2: that the hash Beach laws were pushed by the Australian,
- 0:30Speaker 2: the Jewish lobby groups in Australia.
- 0:32Speaker 1: They were behind the all police say, this is Kosheal,
- 0:36Speaker 1: addressing the crowd in Sydney on Monday Onlookers included a
- 0:40Speaker 1: man holding a sign that said from the outback to
- 0:43Speaker 1: the sea, make Australia Islam Free. They were behind it. All.
- 0:48Speaker 2: The Jews are the greatest aime to this nation. They
- 0:51Speaker 2: always have been the anime to Western civilization, and for
- 0:55Speaker 2: thousands of years, Christiance and Angers the White Man has
- 0:58Speaker 2: known that the Jew is the greatest enemy to Davis Alison.
- 1:09Speaker 1: Koschel's allegedly saying Hile Wide Australia and Hyle Thomas Sule,
- 1:13Speaker 1: an alleged reference to the former leader of the so
- 1:16Speaker 1: called National Socialist Network, a Melbourne based group of self
- 1:19Speaker 1: proclaimed Neo Nazis who say they've disbanded, but Koshel is
- 1:24Speaker 1: denying he's part of the neo Nazi community. His lawyer,
- 1:28Speaker 1: Jasmine Lau, told Magistrate Daniel Covington Koschel had no allegation
- 1:33Speaker 1: of any affiliations with any active group and that he
- 1:36Speaker 1: had attended the rally alone and didn't speak to anyone else.
- 1:41Speaker 1: Kosheal is charged with breaching New South Wales's new hate
- 1:44Speaker 1: speech laws, which have been in effect five months and
- 1:48Speaker 1: carry a maximum penalty of two years in prison. Police
- 1:51Speaker 1: told the court Koschel's brazen and public incitement towards the
- 1:55Speaker 1: Jewish community makes him an unacceptable risk to endanger the community.
- 2:00Speaker 1: Magistrate Covington denied bail ahead of Koshele's next court appearance
- 2:04Speaker 1: in early February. Covington said it was very difficult to
- 2:07Speaker 1: determine what bail conditions could be placed on Koshel to
- 2:11Speaker 1: protect the community given his alleged views about Jews. New
- 2:15Speaker 1: South Wales Police Assistant Commissioner Brett macfatten said police believed
- 2:19Speaker 1: Koshel's language was clearly neo Nazi in ideology and incited
- 2:24Speaker 1: a hateful response from the crowd. In Western Australia, police
- 2:29Speaker 1: are considering whether a man who allegedly threw a homemade
- 2:32Speaker 1: explosive at a city rally on Monday had committed an
- 2:36Speaker 1: act of terror. WA Police Commissioner Cole Blanche said police
- 2:40Speaker 1: had recovered a rudimentary explosive device comprising ball bearings and
- 2:45Speaker 1: screws wrapped around a liquid core. And in Queensland, Premier
- 2:50Speaker 1: David Chrisifoolly says he would support a federal ban on
- 2:53Speaker 1: the burning of the Australian flag after two men set
- 2:56Speaker 1: the flag alight at an Invasion Day rally in Brisbane
- 2:59Speaker 1: on Monday. In Federal Parliament last week, Labor rejected a
- 3:03Speaker 1: flag burning amendment suggested by the Coalition to its federal
- 3:07Speaker 1: hate speech laws. Cabinet Minister Jason Claire said on Tuesday
- 3:11Speaker 1: he was skeptical about the benefit of banning flag burning.
- 3:16Speaker 3: We need to turn the temperature down here, you know,
- 3:19Speaker 3: I think most Australians would be looking at that idiot
- 3:22Speaker 3: burning the flag and just shaking their head. Remember John
- 3:25Speaker 3: Howard saying that if you change the law here, you
- 3:28Speaker 3: just turn yahoos into martyrs. This bloke's obviously looking for
- 3:33Speaker 3: a bit of attention and he got it.
