Last month, the Supreme Court declined to entertain a petition seeking criminal prosecution of Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma over divisive and communal speeches, as well as a now-deleted social media post that depicted him firing a gun towards an animated image of two Muslim men. A three-judge bench headed by Chief Justice of India Surya Kant remarked that whenever elections approach, the court tends to become a political battleground, and consequently directed the petitioners to approach the Guwahati High Court instead. Earlier in January, another Supreme Court bench headed by Justice Vikram Nath indicated that hate speech matters long pending before the court since 2021 would be closed. These were cases in which the court had earlier directed police authorities to register suo motu FIRs in instances of hate speech. The bench, however, clarified that the parties remained free to pursue other legal remedies, including approaching the High Courts or seeking appropriate police action. We discuss whether there has been a discernible shift in the Supreme Court's approach towards curbing instances of hate speech, and whether legislative reforms may be required to deal with such communal rhetoric more effectively. Guests: Shahrukh Alam, advocate practicing before the Supreme Court, and Haris Beeran, advocate and Rajya Sabha MP. I welcome you both to the episode.

Politische Debatten finden heute nicht nur im Parlament, sondern auch online statt – und gerade Frauen sehen sich dort massiver Gewalt ausgesetzt. Beleidigungen, Drohungen und Hasskampagnen sind keine Randerscheinungen, sondern ein gezieltes Mittel, um Stimmen im digitalen Diskurs zum Schweigen zu bringen. In dieser Folge von Ganz Offen Gesagt spricht Anna-Lisa Bier mit der Digitalexpertin und Autorin Ingrid Brodnig darüber, wie digitale Gewalt funktioniert, warum Politikerinnen häufig intensiver und gezielter attackiert werden als Männer, warum jene Angriffe sexualisiert und entwertend sind und welche Folgen das für den digitalen Umgangston, Selbstzensur und politische Beteiligung hat. Dabei geht es auch um die Plattformen selbst, wie Algorithmen Hass verbreiten, warum die Moderation von Hasskommentaren oft scheitert und welche Rolle traditionelle Medien bei der Verstärkung von Empörungswellen spielen. Außerdem wird klar, welche rechtlichen Möglichkeiten es gibt, wo sie an ihre Grenzen stoßen und warum bestehende Regeln oft nicht konsequent umgesetzt werden. Beratungsangebote: Digitale Gewalt ist kein individuelles Problem, und ihr müsst damit nicht allein bleiben. Wenn ihr selbst oder Menschen in eurem Umfeld von digitaler Gewalt betroffen seid, gibt es unter anderem folgende Meldestellen und Beratungsangebote, die Unterstützung bieten: Österreich:Zara (Online-Beratung bei Hass im Netz) Frauenhelpline (Anonyme Beratung) Rat auf Draht (Beratung für Kinder, Jugendliche und junge Erwachsene, auch für digitale Probleme) BanHate (App, bei der man österreichweit Hasskommentare melden kann) Weisser Ring (Hilfsorganisation für Opfer von Straftaten in Österreich) Deutschland: HateAid (Meldestelle für Betroffene als auch Beobachter*innen von digitaler Gewalt) Bundesweites Hilfetelefon "Gewalt Gegen Frauen" (Anonyme Beratung, eingerichtet vom Bundesamt für Familie und zivilgesellschaftliche Aufgaben) Meldestelle REspect!

In this episode of Free to Speak, Dane is joined by University of Auckland academic David Cumin to unpack the free speech flashpoints that follow moments of national shock. They start with the Adelaide Writers' Festival controversy - where Palestinian activist Randa Abdel-Fattah was disinvited, sparking a mass boycott - and dig into what “principled” free speech looks like when the same institutions have previously sidelined pro-Israel voices. From there, they examine how Australia rushed through new hate speech laws after the Bondi attack, why fast-tracked censorship powers often backfire, and how “hate speech” frameworks tend to become partisan tools rather than genuine protections. The conversation ranges across hypocrisy, public funding and cultural gatekeeping, the unintended consequences of criminalising speech, and why open debate remains the best antidote to extremism - even when the views in question are ugly.Support the showhttps://www.fsu.nz/https://x.com/NZFreeSpeechhttps://www.instagram.com/freespeechnz/https://www.tiktok.com/@freespeechunionnz

Crafted in the wake of the Bondi terror attack, Labor's hate speech laws are designed to give the government a raft of new powers to combat racial hatred, but have faced strong criticism from across the political spectrum. The NSW Council for Civil Liberties president, Timothy Roberts, speaks to Reged Ahmad about whether the new laws go too far, and why he says they risk undermining democracy in Australia

For me the most illuminating insight into what these laws are actually designed to do came up in an ABC interview with Attorney-General Michelle Rowland on Tuesday. Over and over again throughout the interview Rowland was asked by ABC's David Speers to clarify whether the new laws could see activist groups banned for criticizing Israel and opposing its genocidal atrocities in a way that causes Jewish Australians to feel upset feelings, and she refused to rule out the possibility every single time.

Since recording this episode, Nationals Leader David Littleproud formally announced that the Coalition has split, blaming Opposition leader Sussan Ley for forcing the Nationals into an untenable position. It comes after Littleproud's frontbenchers sensationally quit the Coalition shadow cabinet on Wednesday night in solidarity with three rebel MPs who voted against Labor's hate-crime laws. Now, the spotlight is back on whether Ley can continue leading the Opposition. That is no doubt much to the relief of Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, who has faced a backlash for rushing the bills through parliament without enough time for proper scrutiny. Today, federal political correspondent Natassia Chrysanthos speaks on the rocky first few parliamentary days of the year.Subscribe to The Age & SMH: https://subscribe.smh.com.au/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Federal parliament returns early today and the prime minister has removed a racial vilification offence from Labor's proposed hate speech laws and will now deal with restrictions on guns in a separate bill.Anthony Albanese had to change course after the bill came under huge criticism from the Greens and the federal opposition, with leader Sussan Ley describing it as half-baked and unsalvageable. The bill came after the Bondi attack in a bid to stamp out antisemtism. So, what was in the doomed bill? And was it really that bad? Today, Professor Kath Gelber, an expert in regulating hate speech from the University of Queensland, on the problems she saw in the government's bill. Editor's note: Organisers of August's pro-Palestinian protest on the Sydney Harbour Bridge estimated 300,000 were there. The police estimate on the day was 90,000 people and the NSW Premier has said more than 100,000 attended.

The Albanese government has amended its proposed response to the Bondi Beach shootings, splitting its wide-ranging hate speech and gun reform package in two in a bid to secure passage through Parliament. Facing resistance from both the Coalition and the Greens over the breadth and rushed nature of the laws, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has made changes in hopes of receiving support from both political groups to pass each set of reforms.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is making a last-ditch bid for bipartisan support for sweeping hate speech laws; New research has found people living with depression are facing a major gap in treatment options; Billions of dollars will be spent over the next decade to upgrade Sydney’s sewerage network, after thousands of debris balls washed up on the city’s iconic beaches; Harry Styles has announced his long-awaited fourth studio album.

It's Wednesday, January 7th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark and Adam McManus Sudanese military killed 11 Christians Tragically, the military of Sudan killed a group of Christians on their way to church on Christmas morning last month. The Sudanese Armed Forces targeted the group with a drone strike, killing at least 11 Christians and injuring 18 more. A Christian attorney in the area told Morning Star News, “The church [building] was not hit, but a congregation who were marching in procession towards the church were targeted.” Sudan's military is in conflict with various rival forces in the country's ongoing civil war. Sadly, Christians are caught in the crossfire, facing increased attacks and violence in the Muslim-majority country. According to Open Doors, Sudan is the fifth most dangerous country worldwide for Christians. Canadian Christians upset: Quoting Bible can be “hate speech” Liberal lawmakers in Canada are trying to remove a religious exemption from the country's hate speech laws. Currently, people cannot be convicted of hate speech if they make a statement in “good faith” based “on belief in a religious text.” The Christian Institute warns that quoting the Bible could be criminalized as hate speech under the new proposal. Andrew Lawton, a conservative Member of Parliament from Ontario, commented, “[The Liberals] are prepared to mount … a full-scale assault on religious freedom.” Psalm 94:20-21 asks, “Shall the throne of iniquity, which devises evil by law, have fellowship with [the Lord]? They gather together against the life of the righteous, and condemn innocent blood.” Hegseth tours America's hypersonic weapons On Tuesday's Worldview newscast, we said, “The United States has yet to deploy its hypersonic technology -- it is still in the testing phase.” Upon closer examination, according to The War Zone, we can report that War Secretary Pete Hegseth recently toured the Redstone Arsenal in Alabama to examine America's long-range Dark Eagle hypersonic boost-glide vehicle weapon system. During his visit, Hegseth designated the installation as U.S. Space Command's new headquarters. The Army's Dark Eagle, also known as the Long Range Hypersonic Weapon, is a trailer-launched hypersonic boost-glide vehicle system that can travel long distances at hypersonic speeds, with velocities in excess of 3,800 miles per hour, while maneuvering erratically through Earth's atmosphere. This makes it an ideal weapon for striking high-priority and time-sensitive targets that are extremely well defended. It's the first true hypersonic weapon slated for frontline U.S. service. The same missile architecture is being adopted by the Navy for sea-launch under the Intermediate Range Conventional Prompt Strike weapon system. During a show-and-tell of Army missile systems, Lieutenant General Francisco Lozano, Director of Hypersonic, Directed Energy, Space and Rapid Acquisition, told Hegseth that Dark Eagle has a 2,100-mile range. Members of the media were also present at the event, which was captured on video by C-SPAN. Colorado must pay $5 million over trying to shut down pro-life clinic In the United States, Colorado must pay $5.4 million in a lawsuit involving a pro-life healthcare clinic. The state tried to ban abortion pill reversal and shut down a Denver-area pro-life clinic. Bella Health and Wellness fought back and won their case with the help of The Becket Fund for Religious Liberty. Rebekah Ricketts, senior counsel at Becket, said, “At least 18 moms who received abortion pill reversal care at Bella just celebrated Christmas with babies born during this case. All Coloradans should celebrate those little miracles and the brave medical team at Bella that helped their moms when no one else would.” Vandal of J.D. Vance's home is trans Democrat The U.S. Secret Service arrested a man on Monday who caused property damages at the Ohio home of Vice President J.D. Vance. The man used a hammer to break four windows on the front of the home. He also vandalized an unmarked Secret Service vehicle. The man has been identified as 26-year-old William DeFoor. He pretends to be a woman and goes by the name “Julia.” His father. Dr. Bob DeFoor, is a prominent urology surgeon and a mega Democrat donor. Vice President Vance responded on X. He wrote, “I appreciate everyone's well wishes about the attack at our home. ... I'm grateful to the Secret Service and the Cincinnati police for responding quickly. We weren't even home as we had returned already to D.C.” Corporation for Public Broadcasting dissolves over Trump defunding The board of directors of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting voted Monday to dissolve the organization after losing federal funding. Congress created the nonprofit in 1967 to support public broadcasting in America.
