Australia’s Fight for Free Speech: A Victory Against Censorship · The Slippery Slope

  Well, thanks to every single person who stood up, who
• 0:03
  contacted the MPs, shared posts, lobbied to defeat Albanese's
• 0:08
  draconian hate speech laws. This wasn't just about policy,
• 0:12
  this was about preserving the freedom to speak truth,
• 0:16
  especially when that truth is unpopular.
• 0:19
  If this legislation had passed, I believed it would have been a
• 0:23
  critical step towards silencing Christians, criminalizing
• 0:27
  dissent, and jailing those who speak up for the truth.
• 0:32
  Let's be clear, I will never stop defending human rights in
• 0:36
  this nation, speaking up for human rights, and no matter what
• 0:40
  restrictions they try to place on our speech, no matter what
• 0:44
  threats they make. Here's the irony.
• 0:47
  One of the reasons this legislation didn't pass is
• 0:51
  because the Greens didn't think it went far enough.
• 0:54
  They wanted more control, more censorship, more power to
• 0:58
  criminalize Christian belief. So just let that sink in for a
• 1:03
  second. As Australians, we must fight
• 1:05
  for our country to remain democratic and free.
• 1:08
  We must speak boldly, we must stand for truth.
• 1:12
  And we must never let fear silence conviction.
• 1:15
  Because if we don't speak now, we may not be allowed to speak
• 1:18
  at all. This is all my opinion.
• 1:22
  As always, I'm Jay Fallon, please like and share.
• 1:27
  Thanks for listening to the slippery slope.
• 1:29
  This is good news for Australia.
