Mr Haddad's lawyers also argued that if the court found the speeches were unlawful, a section of the Racial Discrimination Act must be unconstitutional because it would be prohibiting the free exercise of religion.

As a Muslim can I just comment on how absolutely vile this is? This guy is throwing all Muslims in Australia under the bus to protect himself from the consequences of his own antisemitism. I mean, I know he's making shit up (or at least being very misleading, I'd need to actually see the lecture to decide), but your average Australian wouldn't, which will only provide Islamophobes with ammunition.
