Thank you. This is a much better source.

A series of lectures delivered by an Islamic preacher at a Sydney prayer centre must be removed from social media under orders from a Federal Court judge who found they contained "fundamentally racist and antisemitic" material.

...

The court found the series of lectures conveyed "disparaging imputations" about Jewish people, based on race or ethnic origin, that were reasonably likely to offend, insult, humiliate and intimidate Jews in Australia.

...

However, the judge found the "ordinary, reasonable listener" would not understand those things to be about Jewish people in general.

...

Justice Stewart said he was satisfied Mr Haddad and the centre should be ordered to publish corrective notices on their social media accounts for 30 days, but will hear the parties further on the terms.

He said the ECAJ's case had been "overwhelmingly successful" and there was no reason why Mr Haddad should not have to pay costs.
