Council for Civil Liberties says Minns government is at risk of making ‘reactionary’ legislation as pressure mounts to stem further attacks
Critics have accused the New South Wales government of ignoring its own 2024 review into hate speech laws, as it tries to respond to a spate of antisemitic vandalism and arson attacks in Sydney that has left Jewish communities on edge.
The NSW Council for Civil Liberties says the government risks making “reactionary” legislative decisions and has warned state officials that they “cannot arrest your way into social cohesion”.
The criticism comes amid growing calls for the government to do more to stem the attacks.
