Australia will push for stricter legislation to combat hate speech.

Australian Prime Minister Albanese said on the 22nd that the Australian government will push for the introduction of stricter laws to crack down on hate speech, and will not allow terrorists influenced by extremist groups like the Islamic State to divide Australian society. Albanese said at a press conference in Canberra that the Australian government has reviewed a series of legislative proposals and complementary measures, and will further consult with various sectors of society to ensure as broad a consensus as possible. At the same time, Albanese also apologized for the "events experienced by the Jewish community and the entire country" following the shooting incident at Bondi Beach in Sydney.
