Labor’s anti-Semitism bill faces opposition from Greens and Coalition

Labor’s proposed hate speech reforms face significant challenges just before Parliament’s reconvening, with the Coalition labeling the bill “unsalvageable” and the Greens rejecting its current form. Prime Minister Albanese expressed willingness to consider amendments, while opposition leader Ley criticized the reforms for lacking specifics on issues like “radical Islam.” The Greens signaled openness to revisions, emphasizing the need for protections against all forms of hate. Amidst this, the Executive Council of Australian Jewry urged a balanced approach, advocating for legislative progress despite any shortcomings.
