Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus proposes a hate speech bill to criminalize serious cases of vilification based on race, sexuality, gender, disability, or religion.
Labor's proposed hate speech bill by Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus aims to criminalize serious cases of vilification based on race, sexuality, gender, disability, or religion.

Polling shows that about half of Australians support stronger hate speech laws to protect people of faith.
