Newcastle based YouTube personality Isaac Butterfield is being taken to Court for making jokes which some people found offensive.
Long time readers of this website may not be surprised to know that the pro-pedophile ‘Human Rights’ Commission has been involved in this push to supress the human right of free speech.

Last year, Allen had recommended low-level DNA samples should go straight to amplification rather than be micro-concentrated which was widely considered to be best practice in order to cover her tracks.
The whistle was blown at Queensland’s Forensic and Scientific Services lab in 2021 and eventually led to the commission of inquiry headed by Walter Sofronoff KC.
