Vilification anti-hate rights

We are people of many cultures, many faiths, many identities and many differences. But sometimes we are targeted with hate because who we are. Everyone should feel safe and feel that they belong in our state.  Respect doesn’t just happen. Respect comes when we all have clear boundaries to guide how we interact with each other.

For this reason, anti-hate laws have been strengthened in Victoria.
