Nick Hanna is a Sydney-based criminal defence lawyer, investigative journalist, and director of The Last Sky, a documentary on Israel’s wars in Gaza and Lebanon. He has acted in some of Australia’s most significant civil liberties cases and is currently representing protesters and activists caught up in the legal crackdown that followed the Bondi terror attack.
In this conversation, Nick breaks down the New South Wales law that gave police the power to ban all protests across greater Sydney and explains how a successful constitutional challenge overturned it. He details what legal options are now available to the dozens of people who were beaten and pepper-sprayed at the Isaac Herzog protest, and why the Major Events Act may complicate their claims.
Nick explains the Queensland government’s criminalisation of phrases like “from the river to the sea,” the constitutional challenge currently underway, and what it means for activists and ordinary people across the country. He also reveals why the Australian Federal Police has conducted raids over tweets and memes while making zero arrests of the 600-plus Australian dual nationals documented as having served in the IDF during the Gaza genocide.
The conversation turns to Ben Roberts-Smith, who was recently criminally charged with five counts of war crime murder following his failed defamation case. Nick argues his prosecution exposes a glaring double standard: an Australian soldier sent to Afghanistan by his own government is facing trial, while Australians who voluntarily joined a foreign military conducting a genocide face no investigation whatsoever.

This shows how controlling external foreign influence has over Australian society and shows how little it respects our right to express our disapproval of others actions militarily and politically.
China has also done the something but not as effectively as Israel has done to how Australians talk and communicate their thoughts and feelings towards a foreign antagonist committing war crimes on millions of helpless human beings.
I hope Iran sorts out the Israel problem once and for all. Nobody else has the power.
So the Orthodox Jews that were with us against the Zionist Jews (run by Netanyahu) genocide against CHRISTIAN and MUSLIM Palestinian are AntiSemitic (these Aussie Jews are racists towards Jews)???? WTF! Are you insane. But the Zionist Jews brutally slaughtering and mutilating CHRISTIANS and MUSLIMS is not racist towards Christians and Muslims. Christians and Muslims BELIEVE IN JESUS … ZIONIST JEWS DO 'NOT' BELIEVE IN JESUS. These people are ANTI-CHRIST. They tell you openly.
Why is nobody challenging the fact that Australia has illegitimate /unlawful rulers, therefore no government at all. Australia is ruled by corporations – only governments can enact laws
What are the chances that the Australian people can rid themselves of their Zionist-controlled government in an election? Are there any parties that are not Zionist-controlled?
We are talking about it but noone bothers to listen
Thank you AIPAC/Israel for destroying USA and well come to Australia.
AIPAC next target : Australia
Rabbi Minns is the path used by the Israel Lobby to have their requested laws put into place in NSW.
Same in the US and here in the UK . Europe, at least in part, is probably the same.
I’ve said this for years
We are just as compromised as the Americans.

Thank you for your truthful post. Unfortunately, some Australians have the moral compass of a cockroach. They don't see how our politicians and media have made Australians active accomplices in the zionist Palestinian holocaust.
Why don't they ban parts of their old testament where the grandson of Abraham deceived his older twin brother and took the birthright and lied to his elderly father ? They know that at that time they were picked to take the great story of the love of the creator and spread it around HIS world. Instead they chose deceit, wealth , power and control. So what has changed with these people since then. According to Christians the jews/ israelites reject the human form of God HIMSELF. If they recognize HIM then they admit that HE has given His Power to the Christians to use wisely. At his birth the jews lost their usefulness as being picked to spread the WORD.
The pretext for the war on Afghanistan is the crime of 9/11, a crime that was never really investigated but was instead covered up and censored. When the censorship ends the cover-up will fail, the crime will be investigated and the perps will go to jail.
Thank you for speaking up on this issue.
Do the authorities not realise that these laws will harden attitudes against Zionism and have the opposite effect to what may be intended?
we all knew that when they staged the bondi beach attacks.
It's pretty self-evident to me…..Has been for decades, especially so when you realize that Murdoch is one of the chief Zio-nists.
And the UK. The Speaker of the House Lindsey Hoyle' father sent up Labour Friends of Isreal and The Israel Lobby funded half of Keir Starmer’s cabinet and Keir Starmer himself has stated, "I support Zionism without qualification".
Aussie Aussie Aussie!
The connection of UK, Australia and US is strong. So if our country strongly support Zionism does not suprised. Absolately we as Australian which we love our country and try to live in peace are not happy about it. What is concerned me is, why are they supporting Israel? Secondly do our leaders understand what are the consequences and the risk thay are taking for their decision in a long run? I dont want to talk about UK or US what is happening in economy especially UK after WWII. How long are we going to depends on Israel funding ? Just look at the innocent Israelis who travel outside their country? They being chased out and humiliated😮 I believe Australian are good people, therefore they protest about genocide, I can understand that, so but why our leadets don't understand? Isn't that easy to have good people as a Nation?😢
Globalize the intifada!
Western goverments are so spineless, weak, so easily brought by the love of blood money
Australia shares with Israel a cultural heritage of racist genocide.
The Australian establishment is hard core zionist.
Aussies need to acknowledge their own history of genocide and settler occupation. Only then will the nation be unified to never allow this to happen to anyone, anywhere, again.
The truth is Israel was set up to destabilise the whole Middle East for the military industrial complex which is the British / American empire for hegemony over Eurasia this is 100 year plan
this royal commission is already a jewish whitewash not just the government but politicians in general are totally under israel lobby influence spineless weak bastards selling out australians
The j00ry is Guilty of EVERYTHING
The j00ry owns EVERYONE
I said this already , Zionist are pimping Australia 🇦🇺
Zionist Israel uses Jewish identity as a vehicle for its agenda.
Glad I’m 🇭🇷 and never fell for 🇮🇱’s lies
Nick Hanna is a diamond. Massive respect to him.
Government silence on Gaza is proof enough.
How is it that .5 percent of the population can tell the rest of us what we are allowed to say? Could it be that our politicians have been bought?
It’s shocking how corrupt Australia has become. They really used to have their own voices since being controlled by Covid that is no longer the case.
Whoever hasn't woken up about this is seriously living under a rock.
😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😢😢😢😢😢😮
Most western countries who boasts freedom of speech are the same countries that actually don't have it or are fighting tooth and nail to make it where you won't have it in the near future.
Well seeing the Tribes never returned. You better rethink who is occupying Israel because its not the owners. Go have a look in history who was released into Israel :). The wailing wall…its not part of Solomon's temple, its the ruins of a Roman fort. Go on….I dare you to look or can't you handle the truth??.
THE AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT AND CERTAINLY DECENT AUSTRALIANS, ARE AGAINST COLD-BL88DED MU88ER. IS SMITH A ZIONIST OR A NA8I OR JUST A RA8IST SUPR88ACIST MUR88OUS MONSTER… THE US STAYED 20 YEARS TO FEED THE AMERICAN MILITARY CA88EL. THE TALIBAN ARE AGAINST DR8GS BUT SUPPORT DR8G ADDICTS.
Australia exhibits all the hallmarks of an authoritarian police state.
In nz. You just get you FB deleted. I wonder when we will be getting arrested
This is a world wide issue
Well well well, they chase Ben Robert’s to the end of the world but, hands off 600 Australian IDF fighters participating in genocide, go figure.
Do you think the people will free themselves from the Israel Zio tyranny?
Israel is running Australia because people vote for pro-Zionist candidates. Throw every politician who is pro-Zionism out of power!!!
YOU CAN SEE THAT NICK IS IN DISBELIEF WHEN HE IS PRESENTING THE BLATANT NEGLIGENCE OF THE AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT IN ADDRESSING AUSTRALIAN CITIZENS PARTICIPATING IN THE ZIONIST ISRAELI TE88ORIST REGIME'S GENO8IDES – PLURAL.
That's terrible about freedom to protest.
I don't though hold any religion as based in any reality. Any god does not exist.
