AUSTRALIA passes blasphemy law to make vilification of Islam a crime
 
Vilification on the grounds of religion is now illegal and in serious cases could result in a criminal conviction with a fine of up to $7500, under laws passed by the ACT parliament.

Brisbane Times (h/t Marina)  Both Labor and Liberal (Liberal = Conservative in Australia) supported the move put by the Greens Shane Rattenbury, who said the display of hatred, intolerance and offensive behaviour towards Muslims was one of the biggest intolerance issues in Australia today.
