Australia Plans Hate-Speech Visa Crackdown Because Apparently Screaming Is Now Deportable
KEY POINTS
- •Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese announced stronger hate speech laws following a deadly Sunday shooting in Bondi.
- •The new measures include powers to cancel or reject visas of individuals promoting hate and religious division.
- •Sydney mourned 10-year-old Matilda, the youngest victim of the 15 killed, highlighting the human toll behind the legislation.
After Sunday’s brutal massacre at a Hanukkah event in Bondi, Australia decided maybe yelling hateful nonsense in public isn't just a free speech perk anymore. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, who apparently peaked in generosity last Thursday, pitched new laws that let the government yank visas from any 'preachers of hate' and crank hate speech penalties to eleven. This all happened while Sydney was sorting out a funeral for 10-year-old Matilda, the youngest victim among 15 killed—a stark reminder that Bondi's waves aren't the only crashing issue down under. So now if your hate speech includes an accent, consider your visa toast.
