Laws targeting racial and religious hate crimes in New South Wales are facing scrutiny after it was revealed that a series of anti-Semitic attacks were orchestrated by criminals. Opposition and crossbench MPs are calling for public hearings to investigate the rushed legislation. The laws, introduced by Premier Chris Minns, include controversial legislation to criminalize racial hate speech. Critics argue that the government misled parliament about the urgency and motivations behind the attacks. Despite the controversy, Minns is defending the laws and refusing to repeal them.
