The government of New South Wales is moving to introduce stricter laws targeting the public display of extremist symbols, including those associated with the Islamic State group, following a deadly antisemitic attack at Bondi Beach. The proposed legislation would make it a criminal offense to display such symbols, with penalties including up to two years in prison and fines. Authorities also plan to ban certain chants at protests and give police more power to enforce these rules, aiming to curb hate speech and incitement. The measures come amid a sharp rise in antisemitic incidents across Australia, prompting national leaders to consider broader reforms to address hate crimes and radicalization.
