A Sydney Muslim cleric has been instructed by a court to prominently display online its findings that he engaged in racist and antisemitic conduct. The ruling comes after a legal case examined his public statements and sermons.
The judge determined that the cleric's remarks violated anti-discrimination laws and ordered the findings to be displayed on his website and social media profiles for a specified period.
This decision aims to ensure transparency and accountability, serving as a deterrent against hate speech. Legal experts suggest it could set a precedent for similar cases involving public figures who propagate discriminatory views.
Community leaders have welcomed the ruling, emphasising the importance of combating racism and antisemitism in a multicultural society like Australia.
