A so-called racist video posted on US-based internet site YouTube is yet to be removed, despite a Perth man being charged for allegedly uploading the “anti-Semitic” film.
Police Commissioner Karl O’Callaghan today said his officers had so far been unsuccessful in their negotiations with YouTube to have the controversial video pulled from the site, but inquiries were continuing.
Maylands man Brendon O’Connell, 38, was yesterday charged under racial vilification laws for allegedly posting anti-Semitic video on the internet site.
Jews are indeed the center of the world, the most powerful and influential people who ever lived if they could have arrested Brendon O’Connell just for a video…
Mr O’Connell is seen on film in front of Perth’s Bell Tower and at a South Perth supermarket while allegedly making anti-Semitic comments.
He was yesterday charged by the police State Security Investigation Group with conduct with intent to incite racial animosity or racist harassment.
The maximum penalty for the offence is 14 years’ jail, or fines of up to $24,000.
“Our officers have been dealing with youtube,” Mr O’Callaghan told reporters this morning.
“They are a US based company. We don’t have any jurisdiction over them, but we have been working with them to pull the video down and they have been fairly co-operative in the past.
“Now I can’t forecast what the outcome will be here, but we are continuing to work with youtube on the issue.”
Opposition Multicultural Interests spokesman John Hyde – who alerted police, Jewish community leaders and the Ethnic Communities Council of WA about the videos – praised WA Police for using the anti-vilification laws to lay the charges.
“Members of the multicultural community can take comfort in the knowledge that this alleged race hate crime will now go before the courts,” Mr Hyde said.
It is believed to be the second time a person has been charged under the racial vilification laws, which were introduced by the previous Labor government and were designed to outlaw the publication, distribution or display in oral, written or pictorial form of material that was threatening or abusive and intended to cause hatred or contempt or ridicule.

Brendon O’Connell, you are BRAVE ! You deserve some high award :!:
What do you expect from a country that doesn’t have a bill of rights?
when you stiffle free speech you have no freedom
This is becoming very frightening for us in Perth. There is basically a total media black out over his re-arrest. This has proved to us that the totalitarian State is now operational in Western Australia. The Beast’s Work is being brought into being here. Our communication networks are compromised and there is NOTHING that we can do to protect ourselves from this government sanctioned oppression or being disappeared into the bottomless pit of the judicial system here in Western Australia. This state is a Police State and if your unlucky enough to live here you had better love the New World Order. Western Australia is a Fascist enclave for the worlds super-rich. The rest of us are their slaves. They did it through house-hold and mortgage debt. They enforce the outcomes through a totally corrupted government and judicial/police force. Brendon O’connell may just disappear ( I don’t know him and only recently became aware of his opinions and videos ). In any civilised city anywhere else on this planet someone such as Brendon would have gained a reasonable amount of notoriety and would have some back-up. Not here. Here the power elite are so pervasive and the rest of the population so completely brainwashed and subservient to authority that people like Brendon become isolated through a process of harassment and intimidation of friends/associates. Western Australia is a template for future western societies. Control is subtle and all pervasive. There is nothing to do here except work and procreate so we can have more worker bees for the service of the super rich. I have come to believe that we have become one of ‘the bunker’s’ that Brendon mentioned. FREE BRENDON O’CONNELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOLD COLIN BARNETT AND HIS CORRUPT AND VENAL GOVERNMENT TO ACCOUNT FOR THEIR PLANS FOR A NEW PINOCHET REGIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ACTION MUST FOLLOW WORDS!!!!!!!!!!WAKE UP PERTH!!! TIME HAS ALMOST RUN OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This case is a sample of what is planned for all of us, my friend. And it is just a start. Be ready for the worst coming soon. But you still can unite and resist, otherwise why to keep living as a slaves?
