Can a big banana no longer express it’s political opinions? What is the crime?

Are we still not able to agree that criticism of a country isn’t hate speech? Neither is displaying a country’s flag…
Don’t necessarily agree with the perps choice to vandalise but the message cannot be seriously considered hate speech.

so if i were to graffiti “F** USA” and a Canadian Flag next to it, would that be hate speech as well?

> The words “F** Israel” … A spokesperson for NSW Police Minister Yasmin Catley condemned the incident, saying NSW Police had been given stronger powers to respond to this type of conduct. “Antisemitism is a stain on our community and it will not be tolerated.”
Wow, this antisemitic statement by Yasmin Catley is gross in using antisemitism against Jews to criticise a graffiti targeting a foreign country. Fuck off with that foreign propaganda.

Political/country opinions aside, can we maybe not vandalise iconic sights?

The only country to be protected like this.
I could say fuck against every other country because I don’t like their governments actions and it would be protected under implied rights* in our constitution but except this piece of shit country.

Our media can take shots at China all week long with no issue but when real Australians take a shot at Israel we need to shut our fucking mouth under threat of law? This shit doesn’t come close to passing the pub test.
