I thought this sort of shite only happened in Britain and Germany, but apparently it’s arrived just across the pond…
A blank sign! Oh well, if TPTB can arrest a woman for praying in her head across the street from an abortion clinic why not be able to “read” a blank sign?
Just in case that Xitter account vanishes here is what Drew Pavlou said in it.
As a matter of principle I have decided I will peacefully surrender to the Brisbane court on August 6 and accept prison time for contempt of court. I will go to jail in Australia for the crime of holding a blank sign outside the Chinese Consulate, if this is what the government wants.
Here’s the part that really burns:
The LNP conservative controlled Brisbane City Council is now threatening me with arrest and potential jail time for contempt of court unless I pay a $23,000 fine
The Australian match for the British “Conservative” Party who introduced the laws on digital “hate speech”.
“Well, here’s another nice mess you’ve gotten me into!’
