Section 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act?

Kostakidis wrote on X in the wake of the ruling that the judge has allowed the Zionist Federation to amend its already amended statement of claim. The veteran journalist added that the case is being allowed to proceed due to “bad law”, which permits entities like the Zionist lobby to drag individuals through the court process to silence them.

“The reality is because of a bad law, a lengthy and costly legal case can be brought against you by anyone who claims you are motivated by racism and are responsible for their feelings,” said Kostakidis, who obviously has not been legally pursued into silence.

“My view has always been this is a bad law,” she added. “But despite the significant cost to me, I welcome the opportunity it will provide for them to run their arguments up against a brick wall.”

“The attempt to shut down criticism of a genocide is morally reprehensible and dangerous. Those trying to control the narrative will not prevail.”
