Queenslands parliament has enacted stringent hate speech laws, banning specific phrases that cause distress, with penalties up to two years in prison. The government labels these phrases as antisemitic. The legislation also introduces stricter gun regulations following the Bondi Beach terror attack, requiring new gun license applicants to be Australian citizens and imposing harsher penalties for firearm-related crimes. The changes have sparked mixed reactions from community groups, with some praising the measures against intimidation and others expressing concerns about potential threats to civil liberties and political expression.
