The Prime Minister’s Combatting Antisemitism, Hate, and Extremism omnibus bill, which his government is expected to ram through into law next week in a special sitting, fails to name-drop radical Islamic terror.

This is bizarre, given Islamic terror is the sole cause of the Bondi Beach terror attack and essentially the only ideology responsible for terror attacks on Australian soil in the last 20 years.

We’re bringing Parliament back early to pass new laws combatting antisemitism and cracking down on illegal guns.

Monday and Tuesday will give us a front row seat to master-level propaganda.

Australians have not asked for hate-speech legislation or incitement legislation as we already have sufficient laws covering these areas.

Laws which have not been adequately used to tackle Islamic terror or Islamic hate speakers despite overwhelming evidence of their existence.

Nor has it been used against pro-Palestine protesters who shouted for a global intifada or other genocidal threats on public streets.

It has not been widely used against individuals who brandished ISIS, Hamas, or Hezbollah flags over the last decade.

And the government still, to this day, has not followed its global peers in assigning a range of active Islamic groups as terrorist organisations.

Nothing is stopping the government from fixing these problems except cowardice.

We can make a prediction that this new legislation’s first task will be the criminalisation of the cosplaying Victorian neo-Nazis who, whilst voicing disgusting ideas and idealising demonic historical figures, do not pose anywhere near the same level of risk as a global organised and well-funded jihadist movement. From there, it is a minor inconvenience to falsely criminalise anyone who opposes mass migration. How do we know? Because government ministers and broadcasters already make this false conflation.

We can also expect the Prime Minister’s government to seek the total censorship of Elon Musk’s platform X. Not to protect children. That has always been a fabrication of the government. Rather, X is the most powerful political conversation in the world and it has facilitated a Western rebellion against radical Islam which embarrasses regimes, such as the UK, EU, Canada, and Australia, who have lost control of their borders or deliberately invited foreign religious wars into previously safe countries.

X is being used by Iranians to depose the Islamic Republic as we speak.

It is our duty as citizens to ask why the Prime Minister feels he can force through legislation before the Royal Commission has taken place.

What is the point of having an investigation into a terror event if you’re not going to wait for the findings before drafting new laws?

If the Coalition blindly supports this needlessly rushed and potentially dangerous legislation, they are fools.

Once again, our country is being gaslit into believing we are in an urgent existential crisis that necessitates rushed laws that have not being weighed in the court of public opinion. These mistakes were made during Covid to catastrophic effect and it will happen again.

Everyone wants to see terrorists brought to justice and our streets made safe.

The hard and uncompromising truth is that Islamic terror inside Australia is a failure of political leadership that goes back generations.

It was invited, cultivated, excused, ignored, and even validated by the activist and intellectual class as a valid struggle against colonialism.

It is not, in any way, a reaction to free speech, criticism, patriotism, or our Colonial history.

The government seems perplexed by the normalisation of radical Islam. Let us remind them that elected and former members of various levels of government marched for Palestine, a nation led by Hamas, a terrorist organisation. We hand over millions in aid to regions of the world where no guarantees can be offered. This sympathy for the devil has been a mark of pride rather than shame.

Government grants fund cultural projects and an arts industry which supports the views of radical groups and mimics their rhetoric against Israel and the Jewish people. We pay for this.

Over ten years ago, out-and-proud ISIS supporters marched straight through the centre of Sydney carrying signs that read, Behead the infidels!

Those people are still here. Living amongst us. Voting in our elections. Shopping with us. Working next to us. Hanging their flags in their bedrooms.

Any legislation put forward by the Prime Minister should be specific in its target: radical Islam.

If this government was serious about addressing the source of violence and terror, the wording of the bill and the way in which it has been publicly described, would have no trouble restricting itself to the ideological culprit of the Bondi incident.

Middle Eastern nations do this all the time. They have no problem discussing radical Islam as a security threat and they do not dress up their laws with vague references to hate.

If the Prime Minister and his government are not forced to keep this legislation focused on radical Islam, it will be weaponised against criticism of Islam.

Already, we are in very grave danger of no longer being able to defend our culture with words. This is meant to be our inheritance of the Enlightenment.

We know this, because the de facto blasphemy laws of Islamophobia have been floating around the conversation here and abroad.

If we wish to remain the free nation of Australia, we cannot allow our anger and distress over Bondi empower this government to branch into a tyrannical era.

This is about Islamic terror, Mr Prime Minister.
