Excerpt:
New laws will be introduced into the New South Wales parliament on Tuesday which the government says will “confront hate speech”, and establish a new criminal offence for intentionally inciting racial hatred.
Attorney-General Michael Daley said the legislation is designed “to crack down on the really unacceptable spate of escalating and troubling graffiti, racial hatred and antisemitism we’ve seen lately in New South Wales”.
It would create a new criminal offence for intentionally inciting racial hatred, with a maximum penalty of up to two years’ jail, or fines of up to $11,000, if found guilty.
