New South Wales to Introduce Tougher Laws Against Hate Crimes Targeting LGBTQIA+ Community
New South Wales is set to introduce new laws in parliament on Tuesday to crack down on hate crimes against the LGBTQIA+ community. Offenders could face up to seven years in jail for aggravated attacks motivated by someones sexuality or gender identity. The state also plans to expand its post and boast laws from last year, now covering serious assaults and robberies against LGBTQIA+ victims, with penalties for sharing the footage online. These reforms come after a wave of violent attacks on gay and bisexual teens in Sydney since last year, often inspired by Islamic State or far-right extremists.
