Bonfire of the vanities or what? An anti-communist protester who has literally bet his life on saving Mulism Uyghurs from persecution, is arrested by local police for offending multiculturalism.
The woke mind virus is now law, apparently. Fully endorsed by the Chinese Communist Party.
What are we doing here? Burning down our own village in order to save it?
NSW Police has opened an investigation into an officer after an activist claimed a court was shown false quotes attributed to him.
Activist Drew Pavlou said a senior constable, who interviewed him in connection with a protest in Sydney last year, included the alleged false quotes in a statement that was contained in a brief of evidence.
Documents seen by Crikey show the officer claimed Pavlou had “laughed” at the suggestion Australia should be “accepting of all cultures”.
“I observed that he portrayed little respect for multicultural Australians,” the officer wrote.
Pavlou was quoted as saying: “They come to our country and don’t even try to fit into our culture.”
Pavlou’s barrister Anthony Morris KC said he was present when Pavlou first read the alleged quotes attributed to him.
“He was furious … Of all the insults that could have been put against him, [being portrayed as a racist] is the one that stung the most,” Morris told Crikey.
A NSW Police spokesperson confirmed an “ongoing investigation” was underway and that it was “unable to provide further comment”.
Pavlou said he was contacted by NSW Police on Tuesday and told an officer had been assigned to an investigation into the senior constable and the allegedly false statements.
Pavlou told Crikey he had spoken to the senior constable at a suburban Sydney police station in May last year to give a witness statement about the alleged assault of one of his friends at a protest.
About a week later, Pavlou was arrested at a different protest in the same area and was eventually charged with offensive behaviour and refusing to comply with a police direction.
Morris said the allegedly false statement was tendered to the court in the context of those proceedings.
Pavlou was found not guilty of the first charge, while the second was withdrawn by police, court documents show.
NSW Police was ordered to pay costs to Morris.
“Their case was paper thin … and it cost them a lot of money,” Morris told Crikey.
Pavlou, who campaigns against the Chinese government, believes the quotes had allegedly been added to the document to “paint him as a racist”.
“For four years I’ve been so careful to constantly say I’m against the Chinese Communist Party, not the Chinese people or China as a country,” he said.
“Portraying me as a racist is a horrific smear.”
Not as horrific as arresting you for having an idea.
Meanwhile, get a load of this great distraction.
Greens deputy leader Mehreen Faruqi has launched court action against One Nation leader Pauline Hanson over an “insulting and humiliating” tweet, which she alleges breached racial discrimination laws.
Senator Faruqi wants the tweet removed, and Senator Hanson blocked from repeating similar comments in public.
Senator Faruqi claims Senator Hanson violated section 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act when she tweeted last year that she should “pack your bags and piss off back to Pakistan”.
…Her lawyers allege the tweet “did offend, insult, humiliate and intimidate” Senator Faruqi and “other people who share attributes” with her, adding that it “was done because of the race, colour or national or ethnic origin of the applicant and some of the people in the group”.
Senator Faruqi’s lawyers have also asked the court to order Senator Hanson to delete the original tweet and publish a new post acknowledging she has “committed unlawful offensive behaviour” and pin it to her profile for three months.
Three women holding aloft the light on the hill there.
Bugger the Queen, Faruqi and Hanson. They can all go to hell.
Stop distracting us with culture war garbage and get an idea about history.
