Wentworth independent MP Allegra Spender has previewed some of the amendments she wants to make to the hate law legislation. From her release:

Under the current Bill, the promotion of violence and hatred is not considered a crime unless it explicitly urges or threatens violence. This leaves a gaping hole that is being exploited by certain groups and individuals who are still able to glorify and promote hatred with impunity.  

These statements have a cumulative effect that often leads to violence, fear and division.
