What is free speech like in Australia? Like, obviously as a liberal democracy it is dedicated to the idea of free speech, but does it also have hate speech laws?
Because this is the main difference from the US CBP and ICE (who are targeting left-wing immigrants and Green Card holders) compared to this and other countries seems to be the expansive free speech protections guaranteed to all under the Constitution regardless of national origin. Whereas something like this should not be cause for deportation in the US, as disgusting as it is, it seems that’s not the case in a lot of other countries?
Now, I’m gonna laugh that it happened to someone who advocated for this exact system and suffered its consequences though, but I’m curious about this enforcement in other countries.
