Lucy Connolly's Facebook post inciting violence against asylum seekers, filled with racial hatred, followed a tragic incident and sparked widespread societal outcry.
During sentencing, Judge Melbourne Inman emphasized that Connolly's post was intended to incite serious violence, evidenced by its extensive reach of 310,000 views.
Despite expressing regret for her hateful message, Connolly's intentions were clear and posed a significant threat, thus warranting a substantial prison sentence.
The case illustrates the dangers of misinformation on social media, which can lead to tragic racial violence and societal unrest, as seen in the Southport incident.
