That is a good quote for our times. Here is another:

Then I wanted to know the true meaning of the fourth beast, the one so different from the others and so terrifying. It had devoured and crushed its victims with iron teeth and bronze claws, trampling their remains beneath its feet.
Daniel 7:19

Hatred against a group in Australian society on the basis of ethnicity, ... or mental disability

= = =

How about hatred against a group that has mental ability?

That is what they are doing to us.

And any “we the people” with dissenting views, which are shared online, will be the target.

Will Scary Poppins and all her motley crew never fly off on their umbrellas and get sucked into a jet fuselage, never to be heard from again?

So, when it is demonstrated that the program was wrong on the decision as to what was disinformation will they not only refund the fines but pay a fine to all who were wrongly accused?

And when the government puts out disinformation will everyone who was affected by it, or otherwise subjected to it, be paid a fine?

Is it a hate crime to falsely accuse someone of having advocated, “Misinformation that caused people to ingest or inject bleach products to treat a viral infection”?

Sounds like one to me.
