Australia has just passed sweeping new "hate-speech" laws. Former Army officer and Bosnia war refugee Vedran ‘Maz’ Maslic warns they could be used to silence criticism of Israel even from Jewish scholars and peace activists. In this solo monologue, Vedran breaks his silence on the Bondi attack aftermath, the "Combatting Antisemitism, Hate and Extremism Bill 2026," and what he sees as an escalating campaign to reshape what Australians can say about Israel, Gaza, and Zionism.

🔍 WHAT HE COVERS:

• How the Israel lobby shapes Australian politics (ASPI data on political trips, Mayors Summit Against Antisemitism)

• Why Bob Carr warned about disproportionate foreign influence on Australia's foreign policy

• Penny Wong refusing to rule out prosecuting "genocide" accusations under the new law

• How Western allies (UK, Canada, France, Australia) are recognising Palestinian sovereignty and why that matters

• Media ownership shift: Ellison family controlling CBS News, TikTok US, with explicit Israel advocacy

• Why Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, and Megyn Kelly have all turned against Israel and what that signals

• A Bosnian refugee's warning: "We didn't grow up hating each other. We were manipulated."

⚖️ THE QUESTION: Are Australia's new hate-speech laws genuinely about protecting communities from violence or are they about reshaping what we can say about Israel at the exact moment its closest allies are stepping back?
