1. it is easy to handle it...
Marcelo ,   Berlin / Tlv   (04.19.12)
since they are gathering together in a single place: NAPALM
2. 'DEMOCRACY' AND 'FREE SPEECH' GAVE RISE TO HITLER
stude ham   (04.19.12)
and allowing pure hate mongering to fester under the guise of 'free speech' only destroys democracies. hate mongering never was part of 'free speech' and must remain repressed. the hitlers and their evils are the result of tolerance towards hate mongering in the name of 'democracy' and 'free speech'. THE AUSTRALIANS ARE IDIOTS TO ALLOW THIS CONCERT TO TAKE PLACE.
3. Lydia from Brisbane
Michael ,   Haifa   (04.19.12)
....appears to be very silent about this, but may be she is too busy cheerleading Mr. and Mrs. Assad from the sidelines
4. Free speech also in Australia.
Istvan ,   BUDAPEST HUNGARY   (04.19.12)
Hurrah, I am not worried any longer, that nazi animals have freedom to speak only in Hungary.
5. Aussie advertising ?
Bad Assed Jew ,   United States   (04.19.12)
To allow this form of hate speech calling it 'free speech' takes on a whole new meaning. May the authorities have fun rounding up the neo nazi's they allow to foul their land.

I heard that Lydia went to a waxing salon to get the hair removed from her back in time for the festival.
7. And we don't even HAVE free speech.
Lee-Anne ,   Sydney, Australia   (04.19.12)
Free speech is not protected by our constitution as it is in the USA. Political free speech is protected in part by common law. As far as I can tell the case law would not apply in this instant. Legally speaking there is no reason why the QLD government could not stop this. If you only look at the websites of the sponsoring groups you can find a thousand legal reasons to shut it down.
8. LOL!
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (04.19.12)
Robert must be creaming his pants, waiting for this hate-fest. Hell, he is probably one of the organizers!
9. To: Devorah at No. 6
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (04.19.12)
Yes, but she is leaving her knuckles alone so as not to cut them as she makes her way across the festival grounds.
10. neo nazi's
thejoker ,   sydney australia   (04.19.12)
there are no real neo nazi's here its just a phase some go through, lighten up people you have muslim killers on every side and your worrying about some goth kids in australia
11. Re. #2 I beg to differ
Nigel ,   U.K.   (04.19.12)
I beg to differ the Jew(no pun) gave rise to Hitler.
12. Sounds like the Australian government has got it about right
Jacob   (04.19.12)
The right to be wrong is the basis of democracy. Free speech is free speech is free speech; if you limit it to "except bad people", you don't have free speech any more, just freedom to say what the government wants. Groups like this are a joke, not a threat. Let them come, have the police keep an eye on them and lock them up if they break any laws, let them go, and forget about them.
13. free speech
bill ,   canada   (04.19.12)
is a pillar of democracy i would not expect any jew to understand fascist states like israel have no idea democracy is strong hysterical jews are weak; parasites living on the strength of free nations israel would last a few weeks without this support remember your rabbis led you jews to the gas chambers encouraged peaceful acceptance jews are pathetic
14. To: No. 11
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (04.19.12)
Shut your foul mouth. Did the Brits give rise to the Blitz? You are a perfect fool.
15. To: No. 10
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (04.19.12)
Why do you distinguish between different types of anti-Semitism?
16. To: No. 12
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (04.19.12)
There is a vast difference between "free speech" and "hate speech." Get an education.
17. #9 - Sarah B.
Devorah   (04.19.12)
And that's just a shame since the word on the street is that she is so fond of wearing her $2.00 nickle-plated adjustable Mood Ring. Well, perhaps we can arrange a meeting between her and bill @#13 in case he's looking for a wild time. Actually, though, based on the lacklustre content of his comment, I suspect he hasn't been in a position to have even a disappointing time.
18. Please elucidate us - we're ignorant
Tom ,   USA   (04.19.12)
Why is a punk music festival in funny regalia is mortal threat, but the regular bloody leftist provocation - remember the Dane yesterday? - is freedom of speech? Tell us the "crimes" that this group committed compared to the ISM daily physical attacks on the Jews in the heart of Israel.
19. #11-British twit- Brits bowed to Hitler
Don Rosenberg ,   Palatine USA   (04.19.12)
You dumb racist you got it wrong. Next time read true history and you will discover chamberlain the coward helped hitler. So take that you racist moron.
20. #14 Sarah B

in 1940 the RAF was on its last legs with the Luftwaffe concentrating on RAF facilities. So Churchill ordered attacks on German cities in the hope that Hitler would retaliate by bombing British cities. The tactic worked perfectly. Hitler ordered retaliation for British attacks. The Luftwaffe changed from attacking the RAF itself to attacking London. Thus the RAF was saved from defeat and eventually the Luftwaffe gave up on Britain so that the Germans could turn their attention to invading Russia
21. in a free country you have to allow free speech
zionist forever   (04.20.12)
Neo Nazi festivals are distasteful but if Australia wants to be able to say its a free country with free speech & freedom to assemble then you can't pick and chose what is free speech and whats not based on political correctness. If these neo - Nazis are calling for another Holocaust and encouraging their people to rise up then thats something else but if all they want to do is dress up in SS uniforms, worship Hitler whilst and get drunk on bad Australian beer then let the losers have their fun if thats what turns them on.
