  • Liberal Senator and former ambassador to Israel Dave Sharma discusses Labor MP Josh Burns' push for the Albanese government to toughen hate speech laws by lowering the threshold for vilification.

The article discusses comments made by Liberal Senator Dave Sharma, who criticized the Labor government for not adequately enforcing existing vilification laws in Australia. Sharma highlighted that despite the presence of laws against racial and religious vilification, there has been a noticeable increase in anti-Semitic incidents, particularly following the October 7 attacks by Hamas. He pointed out that the government has not taken sufficient action against hate speech and vilification, especially in light of rising tensions and community unrest. Sharma's remarks suggest a call for stronger enforcement and possibly new legislation to address these issues more effectively, emphasizing the need for a balanced approach that protects free speech while preventing hate speech.
