Ban on ‘globalise the intifada’ risks importing ‘repressive models’ from UK, NSW inquiry after Bondi attack told

A New South Wales parliamentary inquiry is examining the potential impact of banning the phrase "globalise the intifada." The Australian National Imams Council (ANIC) submitted that criminalizing the slogan would disproportionately affect Muslim Australians, including Palestinian and Arab communities. The Palestine Action Group (PAG) echoed this concern, arguing that such a ban risks importing repressive models from overseas, specifically the United Kingdom. UK police have announced they will arrest protesters using the phrase. The inquiry is considering the implications of the ban within the Australian context and its potential impact on specific communities.
