Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke announced that new hate speech laws are being drafted in Australia, aiming to capture dehumanizing rhetoric used by "hate preachers." The laws will be drafted to the constitutional limit. The announcement follows the Bondi beach massacre. While Burke expressed concern over phrases like "globalise the intifada" used in protests, he did not confirm whether the proposed legislation would specifically outlaw such phrases. The laws are being fast-tracked, but specific details regarding banned phrases remain unclear. The goal is to address rhetoric that is considered completely dehumanizing.
