IMHO 18C was cooked up to shut down criticism of Islam. A lot of woke Jews support it to this day. I doubt that it will ever be used against Islamic hate-preachers, because for them it’s simply ‘their religion’. And the woke establishment will do f*kc all to attack their religion.
Time to use 18C on Hizb ut-Tahrir

‘Oh Allah, give us the necks of Jews, Amen.’ This quote did not come from Hamas or Palestinian Islamic Jihad in Gaza, it did not come from Hezbollah in Lebanon or an Ayatollah in Iran, it came from a rally in Sydney.
The rally was held by Hizb ut-Tahrir Australia earlier this year, on 11 May, on Sydney streets in the suburb of Lakemba. It occurred during the conflict in which terror groups in Gaza fired over 4,000 rockets into Israel. A video of the event has only recently been exposed by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) which does excellent work monitoring extremist Islamist material and translating it into English. The rally was attended by a few hundred people and a video was uploaded to Hizb ut-Tahrir Australia social media.
The message at the rally to ‘give us the necks of Jews’ clearly indicates that Jews should be subject to mass murder, likely by beheading. But this was not the only extremist hate speech which could incite violence. To make the intent clear beyond doubt, other chants at the rally included ‘Khaybar, Khaybar, oh Jews’ (referring to an ancient Muslim slaughter of Jews), ‘Oh Allah, help us purify the Al-Aqsa Mosque from their (the Jews) filth’ (referring to the Temple Mount in Jerusalem), ‘the martyr is beloved by Allah’ and ‘Destroy the Jews!’.
This is exactly the sort of incitement which has motivated violent antisemitic incidents in Israel, other Middle East countries, the United Kingdom, across Europe and elsewhere.
Hizb ut-Tahrir is an extremist Islamic political organisation with the stated objective of establishing a global Islamic caliphate ruled by sharia law. It is banned from many countries including Germany, Russia, China, Indonesia, Egypt, Turkey and, significantly, most Arab countries. But it has a home in Australia.
