Overview
- The Greens said they will oppose the hate‑speech elements but support a standalone gun reform bill, ending the original omnibus path.
- Prime Minister Anthony Albanese dropped the proposal to criminalise the promotion of racial hatred and signalled racial vilification clauses would be removed.
- The government will introduce the gun bill on Tuesday and says it will only advance pared‑back hate measures if the Coalition commits to support them in advance.
- Remaining hate proposals under consideration include powers to ban or list hate groups, tougher action against hate preachers, and expanded visa‑cancellation tools.
- Parliament meets for a condolence motion on Monday before the shortened sitting, with the Coalition weighing its position and an intelligence committee report due before debate.
