Tougher Terror Laws: Dutton Pushes for 6-Year Minimum Jail Terms
The Coalition government is advocating for stricter laws to combat the growing concern of antisemitism in Australia, following a series of commitments to tackle crime nationwide. Shadow Home Affairs Minister James Patterson has announced plans to introduce tougher penalties for terror-related crimes, with a proposed minimum jail term of six years. This move aims to address the rising threat of terrorism and extremism, ensuring a safer community for all Australians. The proposal is part of a broader effort to strengthen national security and prevent hate crimes, with a focus on protecting vulnerable groups. Key measures include increased surveillance and intelligence gathering, as well as enhanced cooperation between law enforcement agencies.
