We support the first parts of this motion. Of course we support the right to peaceful protest and we condemn the violent protests that occurred. But this motion also condemns a media outlet for publishing a piece that the mover disagrees with. As it happens, I also disagree with some of the media commentary in response to the protest. I disagree with Andrew Bolt, who said:

If this comes from opening our doors, then shut them. If this comes from multiculturalism, then scrap it.

If this is the fruit of our tolerance, let's try intolerance.

I find those views abhorrent. I find those views worthy of condemnation. However, I have not sought to condemn those views, because I do believe in a free press. There is a touch of irony in this, in that the other side, who have made such a song and dance about free speech, now move a motion to condemn a publication they do not agree with.
