In the wake of recent spate of anti-Semitic attacks in Australia, the Federal Opposition announced on 20 Jan 2025 a willingness, if elected at the next Federal election, to introduce mandatory sentences for anti-Semitic acts.

There are three specific proposals announced by Peter Dutton and colleagues for legislative reform. These announced proposals will be discussed in this lecture by Professor Mark Nolan, Director for the Charles Sturt Centre for Law and Justice, together with three possible scenarios affecting sentencing, terrorism and hate speech in Australia.
