Скачать или смотреть Australia To Introduce Laws to Crack Down on Hate Speech

Australia will introduce wide-ranging reforms to crack down on hate speech, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said on Thursday (December 18), days after the country's worst mass shooting in nearly three decades at a Jewish holiday event.

The alleged father-and-son gunmen opened fire as hundreds of people celebrated Hanukkah on Sydney's famous Bondi Beach on Sunday (December 14), killing 15 in an attack inspired by Islamic State that shocked the nation and led to fears over rising antisemitism.

Albanese said the government will seek to introduce legislation that makes it easier to charge people promoting hate speech and violence, as well as increased penalties, and develop a regime for targeting organizations whose leaders engage in hate speech.
