The New South Wales (NSW) government has endorsed all 19 recommendations from an inquiry into historical gay hate crimes, admitting failures in protecting victims and their families. The report found that 25 of 32 examined deaths from 1970 to 2010 likely involved anti-gay bias. The government has committed to reopening four cases for fresh inquests, enhancing police training, and auditing unsolved homicides, while also apologizing to victims and the LGBTQI community.
