The Executive Council of Australian Jewry has urged the federal Opposition to pass the government’s proposed hate speech laws.
The council stated that while the opposition’s criticisms are valid, the laws also have important positives, such as introducing a new listing regime to prescribe extremist hate organisations.
They argued that the defeat of the bill would be a retrograde step and that the status quo is no longer tolerable after the anti-Semitic terror attack in Bondi.
The council urged the opposition not to allow the perfect to become the enemy of the good, and to seek amendments to remove the bill’s shortcomings rather than outright rejecting it.
