#Greens say #extremismbill a #threat to #freespeech, claiming #Labor followed #Coalition ‘down the rabbit hole’.
The Greens, who will pass the government’s #firearmslaw in the #Senate, have stood up to criticise the government’s extremism bill, and attacked Labor for going down the “rabbit hole” with the Liberal party.
Leader #LarissaWaters again says the bill, which will create a new hate groups listing and increase grounds to cancel or deny visas under the migration character test, was #rushed.
She says the bill could lead to the #criminalisation of #peacefulprotesters.
“It is an atrocity that we have seen the government go down the rabbit hole following the Liberals to further crackdown on people’s ability to speak out peacefully against human rights abuses anywhere in the world.”
Deputy leader Mehreen Faruqi calls the last minute deal with the Coalition a “#sham process”. #auspol
