New race-hate laws aimed at people inciting or threatening violence against targeted groups have been introduced into the New South Wales parliament.
The laws would replace the state's existing provisions that the government says have proven ineffective.
Under the new legislation, people who incite or threaten violence against others based on their race, religion or sexuality could face three-year jail sentences.
