Brisbane Protest Over Banned Phrase | Australia News

A fiery protest erupted outside a Brisbane court as activists supporting jailed Gaza flotilla members rallied behind the banned phrase “from the river to the sea,” now classified as hate speech under Queensland’s new anti-Semitism laws. Helen O’Sullivan, who once used the phrase during her own protest, was arrested live on air after declaring it a cry for Palestinian freedom from occupation and genocide. With nearly 30 defendants facing charges and the law itself under legal and moral scrutiny, the activists vow to fight back — both in court and potentially through a High Court challenge — as tensions rise over whether these words are political protest or incitement.
