🚨 NSW just brought back blasphemy laws... for Islam only.
NSW Premier Chris Minns gave $1 million of your taxes to the Imams Council to launch a speech-policing hotline.
Criticise Islam? Get reported.Speak the truth? Get silenced.
This is taxpayer-funded censorship. It’s a threat to every Aussie who values free speech.

⚠️ Blasphemy Laws Are Back — Just for Islam

NSW Premier Chris Minns has handed $1 million of your money to the Australian National Imams Council to set up what they call an “Islamophobia hotline.”

Don’t be fooled. This is a taxpayer-funded censorship regime. A modern-day blasphemy law designed to silence anyone who dares criticise Islam.

Speak out? You’re a bigot. Ask a question? You’re dangerous. Tell the truth? You’re a target.

This isn’t about safety. It’s about shutting you up.


Your Taxes, Their Censorship

While hospitals crumble and schools fail, Minns is funnelling public money to a religious lobby group with a long record of political demands.

This isn’t “multicultural harmony.” It’s protection money. A government-backed scheme to shield Islam from criticism and brand ordinary Australians as hateful for speaking freely.

And it won’t stop in NSW. The Albanese government is already backing this idea. If it isn’t stopped now, it will become a national model for censorship.


Free Speech Means No Sacred Cows

Every religion, every ideology, every idea must be open to scrutiny. If Islam cannot handle criticism, that’s Islam’s problem — not ours.

Free nations don’t criminalise debate. Authoritarian regimes do.


Stop It Before It Spreads

The $1 million has already been signed off. The infrastructure is being built. Unless we act, this will spread federally — and from there, no criticism of Islam, Christianity, or even political dissent will be safe.

This is how censorship takes root: one hotline, one law, one silenced critic at a time.


Sign the Petition

We call on Premier Chris Minns to:

  • Scrap the $1 million Islamophobia program
  • Reject any law, hotline or scheme that shields Islam from criticism
  • Defend free speech, without exceptions
Australians have fought and bled for freedom. Don’t let our leaders trade it away for political favours.

Time is Short

The censorship machine is already rolling. Only a loud, public backlash can stop it.

Add your name today and tell Chris Minns: Scrap the Islamophobia hotline. Defend free speech.

Where's the petition and what does it entail?

If it is against blasphemy laws applying to Muslim exclusively, then I'm all for it.

I don't mind calling the occasional Mussy a خنزير زنخ.

Khinzir zanakh translated to English means "rancid pig".

Thanks, I believe in free speech as everyone should be accountable, what I don`t like is abusive comments made by any group against others . Right now in our world and the community there is so much divisiveness with so many issues. We should be looking at the bigger picture and trying to support each other rather that dragging anyone down. And that does no mean there is a get off free card.
 
And again - more misinformation spruiking!
‘Blasphemy laws” - NO SUCH LAW EXISTS OR IS BEING INTRODUCED.
NSW Govt. gave a $1M grant to ANIC to support a hotline and community programs responding to Islamophobia - that is NOT criminalising speech - NOT blasphemy laws and NOT censorship.
If you support hotlines for antisemitism or domestic violence, then you should understand why Muslims who are facing rising abuse, deserve the same support.
Jewish organisations have received varied funding for health, research and safety. Jewish groups have received over $4M via grant programmes in recent years.
The only “double standard” here is the one used by those shouting “free speech” when Muslims get support - but demanding protection when their community is targeted. Let’s not pretend that community safety is “censorship” when it doesn’t suit your narrative.

Ministerial media release

Minns Government announces $1m to address impacts of Islamophobia

Published: 15 August 2025Released by: The Premier, Minister for Multiculturalism
Listen


The Minns Labor Government has today announced $1 million in funding to help tackle Islamophobia and anti-Muslim hate in NSW.
The grant, which is funded by the Premier’s Department and Multicultural NSW, will support the Action Against Islamophobia initiative.

The initiative aims to provide support for people affected by Islamophobia. The Minns Labor Government’s contribution will fund:

  • a Report Islamophobia Support Line
  • case management and support services for people impacted by Islamophobia
  • advocacy and building awareness of how to report incidents
  • community education, and training for police and other front-line services on how to respond to incidents.

This announcement comes as community organisations have reported an increase in Islamophobia in Australia in recent years.

This is despite waves of migration, including from Muslim communities, contributing immensely to the social fabric and growth of our state.

Research by the Scanlon Foundation Research Institute has found that negative attitudes toward Muslims have remained at concerningly high levels across the last 10 years, with a particular rise since 2024.

The Action Against Islamophobia program is run by the Australian National Imams Council (ANIC) and aims to both combat Islamophobia and anti-Muslim hate while supporting those who are subject to it.
Premier of New South Wales Chris Minns said:
“Naked racism and Islamophobia have no place in our state or our country and it is abhorrent that people perpetuate this sort of behaviour.

“Anecdotal evidence presented to me indicates that Islamophobia is far higher than what is reported, we don’t want Australians suffering in silence or enduring racism without help or support.

"We are proud to be partnering with the Australian National Imams Council to support those dealing with the trauma that Islamophobia causes.

“This program will play a critical role in providing support to those who have been affected by this hatred while also spreading awareness of the importance of rejecting racism in all its forms.”
Minister for Multiculturalism Steve Kamper said:
“NSW is one of the world’s most successful multicultural success stories and we need to call out racism when we see it.

“To safeguard our vibrant multiculturalism, we must ensure we’re putting the plans in place to stamp out hatred, like that faced by our Muslim community.

"Greater visibility and a broader understanding of this issue is extremely important – helping inform how we work towards eliminating this sort of bigotry.”
Australian National Imams Council (ANIC) President Imam Shadi Alsuleiman said:
“This rise in anti-Muslim hate has left many Muslims anxious about engaging in their daily religious activities, such as praying in mosques or leaving the house wearing the hijab.

“Islamophobia manifests itself in the community in several different ways, and we’ve seen an increase in micro aggressions that are often brushed off as ignorance or rude behaviour.

"Understanding how Muslims experience Islamophobia will help guide our approach to combatting the issue on a holistic level.”

I don`t know about that, you have a lot to say about other ethic groups and your bias is "Glaring"! Don`t forget we all hail from various ethnic groups in Australia, except indigenous people. Why cannot you be happy that you have benefited from life here and welcome others like our forbears were welcomed and the opportunities that they had. You particullarly dislike Muslims, do you even know any? . I can tell you right now that our local hospital would not have it`s doors open without Muslim staff. This is one of the benefits of living in Australia there are strong laws protecting minority groups and we have freedoms here to protect these group and our so called current "SHIT GOVERMENT" is upholding these laws. It is people like yourself that make life tough for others who are not of your kind, and believe me sweety I would rather poke myself in the eyes than have an attitude like you.
