If the latest anti-free speech law proposed by the Australian, Albanese Labor Government passes, you can be investigated, charged, and potentially imprisoned for speech that harms no one, threatens no one, and is lawful today.

Not for violence. Not for incitement. Not even for intimidation that anyone actually experienced.

For speech that a court later decides might have caused fear to a hypothetical person, judged through historical grievance and group identity.

That is not an exaggeration. That is what the Combatting Antisemitism, Hate and Extremism Bill 2026 does as drafted.

• This Combatting Antisemitism, Hate and Extremism Bill 2026 allows Australians to be investigated and jailed for speech that causes no harm and threatens no one.
• It punishes beliefs and motives, not just actions, and treats religious and community leaders as inherently dangerous speakers.
• It removes the need for real victims by criminalising hypothetical fear judged through historical grievance.
• It turns ordinary political and online speech on immigration, culture, and religion into legal risk.
• It replaces free expression with opaque censorship that scares people into silence.

One of the most dangerous features is the creation of aggravated offences targeting religious and spiritual leaders. Schedule 1 amends the Criminal Code so that multiple hate-related offences are aggravated where the conduct is engaged in by a religious official or spiritual leader (however described).

That phrase matters. “However described” is not narrow. It does not limit itself to radical Imams and crazy Sheiks. It can capture pastors, priests, rabbis, monks, nuns, church elders, lay preachers, chaplains, and informal community leaders who provide moral or spiritual guidance. Religious leadership itself becomes an aggravating factor.

This is how free speech dies in a country like ours. With opaque censorship of certain undefined discourse, and breaches of that censorship regime punishable with severe jail sentences. That inspires fear, which leads people to remain silent instead of saying what they want to say.

This fits with Biblical end times prophecies that warn us of what transpires before Jesus returns to restore righteousness. Next on God’s agenda for planet earth is Jesus Millennial Kingdom. No one is talking about it and yet there are almost 2000 Biblical prophecies concerning it. It is why I established http://www.millennialkingdom.net so you can be prepared to rule and reign with Jesus during this transition period when Jesus and the Saints rule with a rod of iron.

JESUS: “And the dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth, so that when she bore her child he might devour it. She gave birth to a male child, one who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron,” Revelation 12:4-5

JESUS: “From his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations, and He will rule them with a rod of iron.” Revelation 19:15

SAINTS: “The one who conquers and who keeps my works until the end, to him I will give authority over the nations, and he will rule them with a rod of iron... ” Revelation 2:26
