Australia to introduce laws to crack down on hate speech after Bondi shooting

Albanese said the government will seek to introduce legislation that makes it easier to charge people promoting hate speech and violence, as well as increased penalties, and develop a regime for targeting organisations whose leaders engage in hate speech.

Australia will introduce wide-ranging reforms to crack down on hate speech, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said on Thursday, days after the country’s worst mass shooting in nearly three decades at a Jewish holiday event.
