RALLY FOR FREE SPEECH!
PARLIAMENT HOUSE STEPS - 11AM-1PM
WEDNESDAY 15 JUNE 2022
On Wednesday 15 June 2022, the new One Nation member of the South Australian Parliament’s Legislative Council (Upper House) is introducing a motion for the Council to endorse and adopt the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of antisemitism.
This definition is being used to shut down legitimate criticism of Israel all over the world, and we need to oppose it being adopted here.
The IHRA definition is deeply flawed, and existing laws more than adequately provide for protection for all Australians from all forms of discrimination, including from violence or incitement to violence, irrespective of its motivation. The effect of the definition, if adopted, will be to stifle legitimate debate over Israel and Palestine.

The notice paper for the business of the Legislative Council for Wednesday 15 June 2022 provides the text of the motion and the text of the IHRA definition.
