The
Albanese government is trying to ram through a new set of vilification laws,
bundled into an “omnibus” bill alongside gun reforms, and it’s already
exploding before Parliament resumes. Labor calls it the Combating Antisemitism,
Hate and Extremism Bill 2026, but that title alone tells you what’s going on,
one form of racism gets special priority, right there at the top. The Liberals
and Greens are both refusing to support it, and for good reason. The Bill
lowers the legal threshold from speech that incites violence to speech that
merely “promotes hate”, and hands huge power to a highly subjective “reasonable
person” test. Not a law anchored in harm, but a law anchored in vibes.
