Murray Olds: Australia Correspondent on the new hate speech laws hitting political opposition

from Holiday Breakfast · host Newstalk ZB

Australia’s new hate speech laws have hit a speedbump.   Parliament was recalled early to pass reform that would create serious offences for hate in the wake of the Bondi terror attack.   However, the Opposition and the Greens are refusing to accept the laws in their current form.   Australia Correspondent Murray Olds told Andrew Dickens the Opposition is saying the timeline is ridiculous, and that the bill is unsalvageable in its current form.  He says everyone was in favour of fighting antisemitism as hard as they could, but it's now dissolved into a political bunfight.   LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
