Victoria has introduced new laws aimed at tackling hate speech more effectively. The state parliament has passed the “Anti-vilification and Social Cohesion” bill, which imposes tougher penalties for serious vilification — including inciting hatred or issuing physical threats. Offenders could now face up to five years in prison. Tune in to this podcast to hear Premier Jacinta Allan’s thoughts on the legislation and whether it risks limiting freedom of speech.
