"These issues cannot be addressed solely through a lofty "free speech" narrative. Minimum duties to the nation have to be looked at. There should be no "freedom" to speak on behalf of our foreign enemies for example. Most Australians love our country and would agree on that. The best way to respect the victims at Bondi is not to censor uncomfortable views but to uphold the rights that the killers on the beach so brutally flouted to life freedom of religion and freedom of speech. I hope Australians can learn that lesson. https://t.co/MjrhehKUdM The best way to respect the victims at Bondi is"
