Hizb ut-Tahrir

Hizb ut-Tahrir is an Islamist group with a presence in Australia. They are currently newsworthy due to the Australian government's recent passage of new anti-hate speech laws. The Home Affairs Minister has singled out Hizb ut-Tahrir as a potential target of these laws, which aim to ban 'hate groups'. Despite the potential for being banned, the Australian chapter of Hizb ut-Tahrir has stated that it has no plans to disband before the legislation is brought to parliament. This stance makes them relevant in the context of the ongoing debate surrounding free speech, national security, and the limits of acceptable political discourse in Australia, particularly following a recent attack on a Jewish festival.
