flag Queensland bans "Free Palestine" slogan to fight antisemitism, sparking free speech debate.

flag Queensland, Australia, has become the first state to ban the slogan "Free Palestine" as part of new anti-hate legislation aimed at combating antisemitism. flag The law prohibits the phrase in public spaces, government institutions, and official events, with penalties including fines. flag Officials say the ban targets expressions that may incite hostility or delegitimize Israel, while critics warn it could suppress free speech and legitimate political expression. flag The move reflects growing national debate over balancing hate speech prevention with civil liberties, and has sparked concern among human rights advocates. flag The law takes effect immediately and is under review for enforcement and interpretation.
