Queensland is set to become the first Australian state to ban the phrase "from the river to the sea" under new hate speech laws. Premier David Crisafulli announced the reforms Sunday, linking them to the recent Bondi terror attack where 15 people died at a Hanukah event. The laws will outlaw public use of certain phrases if meant to cause menace, harassment, or offence. Attorney General Deb Frecklington confirmed "globalise the intifada" and "from the river to the sea" are banned phrases. She said, "These sayings have no place in Queensland, when they are used to incite hatred, offence and menace." The phrase "globalise the intifada" was also recommended banned in New South Wales but "from the river to the sea" was not. Critics say this phrase calls for Israel's elimination, but supporters claim it supports Palestinian rights. Frecklington called the phrase "offensive" and said, "I don’t even like to say it out loud." Those found using banned phrases could face up to two years in jail. The government will also criminalise harassment at religious services with a maximum three-year sentence. Assaulting religious officials could lead to five years in prison, and wilful damage to places of worship could carry seven years. The ban on hateful symbols will expand to include Nazi, Hamas, Islamic State, and Hezbollah emblems, with penalties increased from six months to two years jail. Frecklington stated the legislation was drafted with input from the Crime and Corruption Commission, Human Rights Commission, and Queensland police. Crisafulli said the reforms are a "considered", "calm", and "detailed" response and would be the best in the country. The premier plans to announce new gun control measures related to terrorism and crime soon but opposes a national gun buyback. Jason Steinberg, president of the Queensland Jewish Board of Deputies, welcomed the reforms, saying they provide safety and boost community confidence. "For the past two and a half years the Jewish community has endured unprecedented levels of hate, intimidation and fear," he said. "This bill goes beyond words and delivers real, practical protections for our community and for all people targeted by hate."
