David Icke stopped at Melbourne immigration and told he must pass 'character test' and not ‘incite discord’ in Australia


I have, shall we say, a pretty good idea who is behind the unbelievable nonsense that insists that a man arriving in Australia to say that we must love each other no matter what our beliefs, race, politics or income bracket, has to pass a ‘Character Test’ or be banned from speaking to a public audience?


The document said that the Australian Government supports freedom of speech, but of course it doesn’t because it only supports the ‘freedom’ to speak within the bounds that it sets. This is not ‘freedom of speech’ at all, but only the ‘freedom’ to speak within the bounds dictated by the government. The document says:


‘Section 501 of the Migration Act 1958 (“the Act”) provides
a discretionary power to refuse to grant, or to cancel, a visa if a non-citizen
does not meet the requirements of the “Character Test”. A non-citizen will not
meet the requirements of the Character Test if, among other things, there is a
significant risk that they will vilify, incite discord in, or represent a
danger to, the Australian community or a segment of the Australian community.’



When I arrived at the immigration desk at Melbourne Airport I was amazed at how quickly the lady stamped my passport without asking any questions. But the reason became clear as she handed my documents to a guy behind her and not to me.


‘Could you please go with this man, sir’, are words I have heard many times, especially in Canada, and the immigration gentlemen was clearly waiting for me, not least because he knew my name without looking at the documents. He then led me to another lady who took me into a bright, white, Agent Smith-type room.


I must stress, however, that everyone was extremely pleasant and courteous and I have no problem with these people at all. They were just doing what they were told to do. I was handed the document below and asked to sign it if I was going to be allowed in the country. I did so because I have no intention of vilifying anyone in Australia and because my signature only related to confirming I had read the document, not that I agreed with it.


I said to the lady that I had come to Australia to say that if we are going sort out this crazy world we have to love each other irrespective of our differences. She seemed embarrassed and said she knew nothing of what I was saying.


The people with the biggest problem are those individuals, and the groups they represent, who are so full of their own sense of superiority – and so full of fear – that they feel the need to dictate what others can and cannot say.


Imagine living with that every day. Nightmare.


You will see by the way the document is worded that the ‘minister’ can basically decree who can and cannot come into the country by deciding what does and does not constitute the term ‘incite discord’. Does it not incite discord, for example, if someone exposes that the Australian government is corrupt. Yes, discord, called outrage, among the population who suffer as a result.


Under the terms of this document, the minister could prevent someone coming into the country to expose such corruption. What kind of free country is that?


The document will be posted here later.

freedom of speech is basically non existent ideal that's never respected or set in motion. there is absolutely no such thing as "freedom of speech" (in the true sense of the term) if the things that you say are to be censored, silenced, or even erased.


the people try to exercise their right to free speech, but people seldom succeed because there will always be some asshole out there who fears free thought expression and makes it their mission to silence what you have presented to the public as opinion.

Well, I'm guessing that they let you in, and didn't make you disappear.

What's is free speech... anyway?Say what you want, say what you know, say what you don't like, say what you like, say what you would like, say what you "saw", say what happened, say in public your ideals, idealize, ...Well that is some of the examples of free speech...... but only if they are in accordance with the ESTABLISHMENT, if they have no double meaning, if they don't undermine the role of government and church, and the most important of all the ideas expressed they have not be given a thought, and the ideas are take out from the official story. That is free speech my friends.

Well...we want the globalist to not say what they want through the media and in secret meetings. Are we not guilty of the same violation of this concept of 'freedom of speech'? It does have to have limits for an intelligent or creative exchange to take place. It must be governed by reason and common sense...a sense of common respect for those participating in the exchange.

Is that possibly where the authorities roll out various characters, while you're blind folded & they have you guess which character is speaking?

People will readily admit they live in a brainwashed society but will refuse to admit they have been brainwashed themselves.

Welcome to fascist Australia David. I myself have just returned to Australia from living overseas for 4 years and I've noticed a stark change in Australian society. First thing is how much more dumbed down the public are and also how everything is so PC and technical with Orwellian speak. Television is disgraceful, showing only 5th grade mentality entertainment and the nation has been asianised, no doubt keeping in ready for the coming asia union that we will be lumped in.

Great to have you here though David, keep up the awesome work.

About Canada. As a Canadian, I'd like apologize. Our human rights commissions think people have the right not to be offended. For example, Ezra Levant was called before the Alberta Human Rights and Citizenship Commission for publishing the Danish cartoons.

Hi David,

Someone I know posted me a link to this post.

Australia doesn't have a set of fundamental human rights like freedom of speech. We do have, though, a very vigilant court system that will review a Minister's decision and which have intervened very frequently recently into Minister's decisions of late. It's not quite as bad as it appears (although your impressions are certainly correct and understandable - the world of possible recourse from Ministerial decisions is not clear or accessible which is an issue in itself) but there's certainly a lot of issues going on.

Glad to hear you were treated well. Encourage you to find out more about these issues in Australia as they are important and there's a lot of tension in the various views at the moment.

YES THAT'S A STRANGE THING... IT MUST BE THE ANTI TERRORIST THING, OR THEY THINK YOU TALK ABOUT CONSPIRACIES... THEYRE BRAINWASHING PEOPLE TO BE SHEEP SLAVES... WE ALL KNOW IT, SOME DENY IT, BUT IT'S THERE... WE KNOW THAT THEY HATE PEOPLE DISCOVERING THIS, AND SPEAKING OUT ABOUT DIFFERENT BREAKTHROUGHS ETC...
HEAVY METAL MUSIC IS A GOOD EXAMPLE OF FREE MINDED PEOPLE... THEY SPEAK OUT AGAINST THE DICTATORSHIP DESIGNED TO SUIT A SELECT FEW... THIS IS WRONG, AND NOT FAIR, IT'S LIKE SPEED TRAPS ON THE ROAD, IT WRECKS YOUR CAR, BUT STOPS YOU SPEEDING...
