A Canadian civil rights group has called on Australia to follow their country’s example and designate far-right extremist groups as terrorist entities.
Mr Farber said the 2017 Quebec city mosque shooting, in which six people were killed, still horrified many Canadians and the Christchurch shooting provided evidence of the growth of the extreme far-right. Levi West, Director of Terrorism Studies at Charles Sturt University, said while the designation of far-right extremist groups was “overdue”, there were many complications.
Mr West suspects the impetus for any decision on designation of far-right groups would be a federal parliamentary inquiry, which is due to look into the issue of far-right and Islamist terrorist organisations in the coming months.
If they exhibit violence. Arrest them. If they demonstrate peacefully, leave them be. There is adequate legislation to protect the people in place already.
Never in Australia as it would take votes from the COALition
Scomo wont otherwise who else will vote for him...
They should list BLM and Antifa as well, Hamas hopefully is on the list.
This is ridiculous. What a retarded suggestion! This is not the US. We could also designate BLM as a terrorist organisation too then
No it isn’t.
ANTIFA too. Lock them all up.
Australia: money, money and real estate. 🤣
Along with the Black Lives Matter movement.
Hopefully, the US Government will put itself on the terrorist list as they have been committing war crimes on seven countries so far.
Pump ADA Cardano tonight, before it reaches $1 !!!! It's going $5 at least this year !!!
PhillipAdams_1 Sooner the better
We don't care for your religious rhetoric of targeted hate.
...but not Antifa or BLM?
PhillipAdams_1 Canada always leads the way
PhillipAdams_1 There are dangers in proscribing any 'group'. Extremism of any sort can beget violence but suppression can lead to more violence that wasn't even intended. Question: What would have happened if the police had not been called
How about Antifa and BLM?
nonsibicunctis And not AntifaTerrorist or BLM ? Piss off
bruce_haigh Australian won't do it while LNP is in power - they'd lose voters!
Ridiculous if antifa isn’t marked as one nor should these racist gits
This mob shaping as a bigger threat than ISIS.
('I really hope and I really pray that … Australian Politi...) What was my surprise that it was the CEO of the Canadian Jewish congress who wanted to profile Proud boys as terrorists. I 've no passion for Proud Boys but profiling them as as Terrorists is wrong.
That 'Hope' quote is from the Bernie Farber, the CEO of the Canadian Jewish Congress, demanding that White people are traced as domestic terrorists. Why is it always a Jew at attempts at curbing Free Speech or profiling Whites as terrorists and why are they given the time?
The 'Anti-Hate' groups are almost always Jewish Interest groups like the ADL or Australians ADC who care only about curbing free speech to silence Palestine support. Don't let that happen. Claiming terrorists of White male groups who've done nothing illegal is *very* dangerous
I reckon good on them sticking it up back at the authorities
LUKE 24:47 .. the answer to the fall of humanity and the beginning of Godly Wisdom .. Amen?..
Given that the last 4 terrorist attacks in Australia were committed by Muslim refugees or the children of Muslim refugees, I’m not sure why you would want to list The Proud Boys, who’ve committed no terrorist attacks..ever..as a terrorist organisation?
Dutton has an attack of timidity? That's new: 'In Australia, certain legal standards need to be met including that the Home Affairs Minister is satisfied a group is directly or indirectly engaged in preparing, planning, assisting...
Good luck to Australia. We normally take 10yrs to action as usual
But never mind BLM or antifa......
What about Canada’s home grown Khalistani terrorist group? Just because they using them to terrorise other countries so they can’t ban them? Including the right hand of JustinTrudeau which is theJagmeetSingh ?
Why though?
Canada is far more advanced than Australia - 100 times more, we are so far behind everything !!
if they are not violent like some of the lefties, there are no reasons to do that, if they are , both sides can be arrested, there are existing laws to deal with that.
Is there any evidence of wrong doing?
ANTIFA
And BLM who rioted and destroyed cities across the US.
Yes, but always remember that simply expanding the surveillance state is a poor answer. We need to focus on ending austerity and repairing communities and solving the problems of economic precarity.
The anti-hate groups are fomenting hate themselves.
And we pay for this crap follow the lead of any leftie shite
So anyone who is patriotic and proud of their country is put on a list? The left really isn’t going to stop until the Soviet Union is back hey?
Easier just to list America as a terrorist group?...
I'd like to ask why the kkk isn't also labeled a terrorist group, but it's probably because of how disturbingly deep they are in everything...
New Zealand will follow. We don’t have the balls. And the US is a whole different issue altogether.
I have zero problem with this group of morons listed as terrorists as there's consistency and ANTIFA are also listed as the same.
So Antifa who attack innocent people constantly and are a much larger terror group are fine but a few people proud of who they are are considered terrorist :/ welcome to 2021 :/
The rise of the proud boys is a 3D dialectic of the rise & rise of ANTIFA,whilst ever ANTIFA-which are a violent anti western democracy left wing fascist organisation, are spewing their hatred in all manner of ways and means, its opposite such as proud boys shall rise against it.
Are the Proud Boys White European Americans in the US? Or do they also have Black African Americans as members too? In Australia, are the Proud Boys from the ethnic European,such as the Cormanns, or the ethnic Asian, like the Wongs, community, ?
Kinda hard in Australia as the ProudBoys preferred garb is literally the Betta Home Living retail worker uniform.
Proud Wankers.
