Overview
- Prime Minister Anthony Albanese removed proposed racial vilification offences and separated the package, leaving a hate-crime bill with measures such as listing hate groups and tightening visa powers.
- The Greens will oppose the hate-law changes but have agreed to support a standalone firearms bill, positioning a national gun buyback to pass when introduced on Tuesday.
- Opposition Leader Sussan Ley has called the original omnibus "unsalvageable," yet Coalition figures say they will examine the revised proposals to see what can be salvaged.
- Labor has recalled parliament for an extraordinary sitting, with a condolence motion on Monday and the reworked bills to be introduced Tuesday, subject to pre-agreed support.
- A snap intelligence committee report is due before debate, as legal, religious and community groups continue to warn the original draft was too broad and risked chilling lawful speech and protest.
