Where’s the line? Balancing hate speech, women’s rights, and free speech in NSW
Emma and Lucy unpack the NSW Women’s Action Alliance’s latest submission on hate speech law reform. They explore why the incitement to violence threshold is so important, raise concerns about making “hatred” a crime without clear limits, and highlight the current gap in sex-based legal protections for women. Drawing on real-world examples and international context, the episode explores how vague or overbroad laws could chill debate, compromise women’s rights, and undermine Australia’s international obligations.
