The recent cancellation of Hillel Fuld’s visa to Australia has stirred deep concern among Australians who believe in freedom of speech, public safety, and balanced political representation. As someone who is not Jewish, I still felt a responsibility to write to Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke and Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, protesting the unfairness of this decision.
Silence Is Not Safety
In our democracy, when peaceful individuals are banned from entry based on opinions rather than incitement, it’s not safety—it’s censorship. Mr. Fuld is a speaker, not a criminal. He has no terrorist affiliations. Yet while his entry was blocked, we see refugees from Gaza entering without clear transparency about possible terrorist connections. Why is this risk overlooked?
Since Labor has been in office, more criminals from the refugee population have been released, with blame shifted to the High Court. The response? Weak legislation and a refusal to take real accountability. Blocking Mr. Fuld is being framed as an act of security, but it reads more like political theatre.
Fear Is Not Hatred
The term Islamophobia is now being overused—not to protect Muslims, but to silence legitimate debate. The word means “fear of Islam,” not hatred. This fear has been created not by ordinary Muslims, but by the actions of fundamentalist groups, and by a government that seems more interested in pleasing minority extremist voices than protecting everyday Australians.
People don’t hate Muslims—they fear the consequences of a government that prioritises ideology over safety. That’s a distinction this government must understand if we are to truly live in harmony.
Labor Doesn’t Have a Green Light
Let’s be clear: Labor’s primary vote did not increase. They won due to preferences, many from conservative minor parties like One Nation. That’s not a blank cheque to govern without accountability. Ministers like Tony Burke hold public office, not party office—they are meant to represent all Australians, including those who didn’t vote for them.
Peaceful Protest Begins with a Pen
The response to this government’s silence should not be demonstrations that disrupt lives, but rather a quiet, powerful protest: the written word. I encourage every concerned Australian to send polite but firm emails to your MPs. Ask questions. Demand transparency. The pen is mightier than the sword, and peaceful resistance is still our strongest tool in a democracy.
This government’s silence strategy is designed to wear us down, to discourage response, and to push people toward more extreme reactions. Don’t give them that power. Keep writing.

✍️ Final Thought: Seek Only the Truth
This blog isn’t about taking sides. It’s about restoring balance and ensuring that all narratives can be heard, as long as they respect the Western values that form the foundation of this country. Banning voices that challenge a left-wing narrative while opening the door to extremist influence is not harmony—it’s division.
The current government is urged to review its decision to cancel Mr. Hillel Fuld’s visa. The focus should be on preventing terrorists and fundamentalists from entering Australia—not silencing speakers with differing viewpoints. This government was elected to represent all Australians, not just its political base. Yet, through silence and selective policies, it appears to prioritise only one group. Let your actions reflect the responsibility to serve the entire nation.
