The Justice and Equity Centre has made a submission to the review of criminal law protections against hate speech for vulnerable communities, led by Honourable John Sackar AM KC. Our submission recommends: 

  • Expanding protections to include other vulnerable communities, including women, LGBTIQ+ people, people with disability and all religions 
  • Removing the religious exemption for hate-based conduct 
  • Expanding non-legal measures to address the drivers of hatred in our community
