If I wore a "Fuck the USA, Fuck MAGA" shirt would I get arrested? No. Complete overreach.
That's a pretty bold assumption considering they've already arrested people for less.
Heck there have been people arrested for posting Trump or Charlie Kirk comments unedited.
It's still overreach but they're definitely getting away with walking all over the law.
In Australia?
I had no idea there were so many Far Right American MAGA's at Bondi Beach?
In order to offend someone, there has to be someone to offend ;)

On the other hand we do know that if you attempt to even walk near Muslims they will threaten to arrest you:

So yeah, if there was a large group of MAGA's and far right Americans in Bondi (instead of Jews) and you wore that shirt you too would probably get moved on
I feel like if you approach a mosque on behalf of a far-right, white supremacist cult, to "investigate them" for your far-right, white supremacist friends, your intentions are not likely to be peaceful and honourable.
That sounds like the correct call from the police.
Well we'll never know because she accepted what the police had to say and moved on, but I do have to admit it is quite odd that Muslims can't simply reply to a white woman asking questions? Are Muslims unable to handle criticism?
Oh right...
(Also Sydney)
Anyway...
Agreed, the guy was being an offensive dickhead, glad we're both on the same page.
