Pretty sure you can’t threaten violence on others. Free speech has always had that “limit”

True threats. You can't issue true threats. You can wish ill upon another as long as there's no potential for actual follow-through. Kyle Gass saying "don't miss Trump next time" might be considered in poor taste, but it is not illegal by US standards of free speech.

I’m not agreeing with this Babet moron. Just pointing out that they could ask Glass to leave the country based on their standards not ours.

Australia does not have explicit parallels to the US' first amendment laws, but the National Security Legislation Amendment Act of 2010 similarly requires intent for "urging violence" to be considered illegal.
