ALT Farnham song ‘Two Strong Hearts’ not banned under hate speech laws, Queensland government confirms. The John Farnham song Two Strong Hearts is not banned as hate speech, the Queensland government has confirmed. Seven protestors were arrested in Brisbane’s CBD yesterday for allegedly saying or holding a sign reading “from the river to the sea”, which was banned under specific circumstances under legislation passed earlier this year. The Farnham song features the lyric “like a river to the sea”. The attorney general, Deb Frecklington, responded to a parliamentary petition on Monday asking her to exempt songs and books from being banned under the legislation. She said the law had a “high bar” for conduct that would be prohibited, which is only illegal if it causes a member of the public to feel menaced, harassed or offended, though under the act the person does not have to exist.
