Banned, censored, and branded a “political extremist”, US comedian Shayne Smith is turning his surreal clash with Australia’s bureaucracy into a new stand-up special: "How to Get Banned from Australia".

When Muslims kill Muslims in Sudan, it’s genocide. But when Muslims kill Christians in Nigeria — 7,000 this year at the rate of 35 murders a day — it’s apparently “complex”.

While for the past twelve months, much of the West has been objecting to the so-called ‘genocide’ occurring in Gaza, something more sinister has been happening in Nigeria. Since 2009, tens of thousands of Christians have been killed by Islamic terrorists.

I predict the plan by the Albanese Government's Special Envoy to Combat Islamophobia will be a roadmap for more hate speech laws, more surveillance, more control, and more ways to punish Aussies for saying something that offends someone else's delicate religious sensitivities.
