That’s not the criteria, you’ve modified it, the actual criteria are:

  • The statement is made publicly

engages in the conduct intending to either: promote or incite hatred of another person or persons because of their race, colour or national ethnic origin; or disseminate ideas of superiority over or hatred of another person or group of persons because of their race, colour or national ethnic origin

A judge finds it reasonable for a person in Australia of the targeted race, colour or national ethnic origin, to be intimidated or feel threatened by the statement.

What’s more these aren’t legal criteria of arrest, because the racial vilification section DID NOT PASS, these are the internal criteria for ASIO to use when classifying hate groups. They then get tested in a court of law.

Hate Groups then have a right to contest ASIOs determination in the courts.

All the law is saying is that members if a hate group can’t threaten Australians with violence based on their national ethnic origin.

You can say Israelis connected to the bombing of innocence civilians deserve to be beaten and killed. Israel is a nation, not an ethnicity.

The Racial Vilification section didn’t pass, and I’m speaking as an individual so I can’t be charged for what I’ve said.

It’s entirely legal to criticise and even be hateful about Israel on Australia.
