Australia's Government says it is entering new legal territory as it pledges to combat hate speech after Sunday's Bondi Beach terror attack. 

Fifteen people were killed and dozens injured when two shooters opened fire at Jewish Hanukkah celebrations.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has announced new powers will be given to target and crack down on people spreading hate speech and violence.

Australian correspondent Murray Olds says it feels like the Government is playing catch-up with this legislation.
