Australian Prime Minister Albanis said on the 22nd that the Australian government will push for tougher laws to crack down on hate speech and must not allow terrorists influenced by the ideology of the extremist group “Islamic State” to divide Australian society. Albanis said at a press conference held in Canberra on the same day that the Australian government has systematically reviewed a series of legislative plans and supporting measures, and will conduct further discussions with all sectors of society on this to ensure the broadest possible consensus. Meanwhile, Albanis also apologized for “everything the Jewish community and the country as a whole has experienced” as a result of the Sydney Bondi Beach shooting. Attorney General Michelle Rowland and Home Secretary Tony Burke, who attended the press conference with Albanis, then detailed the new legislative plan, including specific aggravating charges for adults seeking to influence and radicalize children, and authorizing the Home Secretary to directly cancel visas for those promoting violent hate speech or displaying hate signs.
