New NSW school staff can now be fired for hate speech under expanded conduct rules.

Teachers and principals in New South Wales, Australia, may now be terminated for hate speech under new laws that expand the code of conduct to over 3,000 government, independent, and Catholic schools. Announced by Premier Chris Minns, the rules take immediate effect, addressing past instances where staff faced allegations but could not be disciplined due to policy gaps. The changes explicitly prohibit hate speech and aim to ensure accountability, safety, and inclusivity across all school sectors.
