Episode Details

Queenslands Deputy Premier Jarrod Bleijie accused the Labor opposition of being antisemitic and supporting terrorists, following their vote against new state laws targeting hate speech and gun controls. The government amended the bill to ban pro-Palestinian slogans, swastikas, and terrorist group flags, and to bar non-citizens from owning guns. Labor leader Steven Miles criticized the lack of review or debate for the sudden changes, but the LNP and Katters Australian Party pushed the laws through. The Greens, some independents, and a few absent Labor members also voted no, with various excuses. The government defended the measures as a safeguard against future repeals and a means to combat hate and crime.
