The prime minister told the Alan Jones radio program on Wednesday morning Australians were permitted to “say stupid things” but the government should act to prevent people from overseas entering the country to stir up trouble.

“I am sorry we haven’t red-carded these hate preachers before but it will happen and it will happen quickly. We should have a system in place that red cards these hate preachers.”

The prime minister said Australian law only allowed groups to be proscribed if they were terrorist organisations, not if they campaigned against “Australian values.”

Under the law that we are bringing through the parliament hopefully before the end of the year it will be an offence to promote terrorism.

“what we don’t want is people coming to this country to peddle an extreme and alien ideology.”

“No one does Australia or indeed Islam any favours by conflating Islam with extremism,” he said.

Will this shut Andrew Bolt up?
