Just received this email from a friend…
Visas have been denied to Milo Yiannopoulos, Gavin McInnis, and Tommy Robinson yet granted to Sheik Omar Abdel Kafi without a second thought. The first three are right wing conservative speakers whilst the last is a firebrand Islamic hate preacher known for his jokes about 911 and the Paris massacres.
Australia lost it’s right to free speech with section 18c of the racial discrimination act. When rights such as these are lost it’s inevitable others will follow and that’s under a “Liberal” Government imagine the censorship that a Labor Government will impose. If the first three have been excluded on character grounds then why not the hateful Sheik. Banning these speakers because their world view may incite discord in the community is like banning houses because Sudanese gangs might invade them.
How did we allow this to happen!
