I heard a rally organiser on the steps of the Melbourne State Library yell From the River to the Sea and people in the crowd yell back, Kill Them. This was on October 8th 2023.

Other instances where freedom of speech does not apply is planning a crime, making plans for a bank robbery is just words, right?

I mean, I'd hope you'd have to prove intent to commit a crime, which would be the crime. Saying the words alone shouldn't be a crime.
