But if you turn up to a protest and you are spewing hate and you are hiding your identity, the police need to be to say, \u2018that\u2019s not ok\u2019. You can turn up to a protest, you can show your face &#8211; but if you are spewing hate and your face is covered, that is not ok. And improving the laws to stop that will be supported by, certainly, the Liberals.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<footer class=\"dcr-3i7iba\"><gu-island name=\"ShareButton\" priority=\"feature\" deferuntil=\"visible\" props=\"{&quot;size&quot;:&quot;xsmall&quot;,&quot;pageId&quot;:&quot;australia-news\/live\/2025\/dec\/22\/australia-news-live-bondi-beach-terror-attack-chris-minns-nsw-gun-reforms-anthony-albanese-coalition-sussan-ley-antisemitism-royal-commission-ntwnfb&quot;,&quot;hash&quot;:&quot;block-69485a628f086a70a358c873&quot;,&quot;queryParams&quot;:{&quot;page&quot;:&quot;with:block-69485a628f086a70a358c873&quot;},&quot;webTitle&quot;:&quot;Australia news live: farmers groups push back against \u2018rushed\u2019 Minns gun reforms; Coalition proposes terms of reference for antisemitism royal commission&quot;,&quot;format&quot;:{&quot;design&quot;:11,&quot;display&quot;:0,&quot;theme&quot;:0},&quot;context&quot;:&quot;LiveBlock&quot;}\"><a href=\"mailto:?subject=Australia news live: farmers groups push back against \u2018rushed\u2019 Minns gun reforms; Coalition proposes terms of reference for antisemitism royal commission&amp;body=https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/australia-news\/live\/2025\/dec\/22\/australia-news-live-bondi-beach-terror-attack-chris-minns-nsw-gun-reforms-anthony-albanese-coalition-sussan-ley-antisemitism-royal-commission-ntwnfb?CMP=share_btn_url&amp;page=with%3Ablock-69485a628f086a70a358c873#block-69485a628f086a70a358c873\" type=\"button\" class=\"dcr-1mulgdf\">Share<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"-3 -3 30 30\" focusable=\"false\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M19 16c1.675 0 3 1.35 3 3 0 1.675-1.325 3-3 3a2.97 2.97 0 0 1-2.975-3c0-.125 0-.275.025-.375L7.1 14.15a2.9 2.9 0 0 1-2.075.825C3.325 14.975 2 13.65 2 12a3.004 3.004 0 0 1 3.025-3.025c.775 0 1.5.35 2.075.875l8.95-4.475c-.025-.1-.025-.225-.025-.4A2.966 2.966 0 0 1 19 2c1.675 0 3 1.325 3 2.975C22 6.65 20.675 8 19 8c-.8 0-1.475-.325-2.05-.825l-8.975 4.45C8 11.7 8 11.825 8 12s0 .3-.025.375l8.975 4.45c.575-.5 1.25-.825 2.05-.825m0-12.8c-.975 0-1.8.775-1.8 1.775S18.025 6.8 19 6.8c1 0 1.825-.825 1.825-1.825S20 3.2 19 3.2m0 17.6c1 0 1.825-.825 1.825-1.8 0-1-.825-1.8-1.825-1.8-.975 0-1.8.8-1.8 1.8 0 .975.825 1.8 1.8 1.8\"\/><\/svg><\/a><\/gu-island><\/footer>\n<\/article>\n<article id=\"block-694859d38f087ccaa845057a\" class=\"block dcr-1os4bxs\">\n<header class=\"dcr-88va8u\"\/>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\"><strong>NSW Liberals to discuss proposed firearms and protest bills today<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">The NSW opposition leader, <strong>Kellie Sloane<\/strong>, has told ABC News Breakfast that she will meet with the Liberal party room this morning to discuss the proposed firearms, protest, and hate speech laws being introduced to state parliament today.<\/p>\n<blockquote data-spacefinder-role=\"inline\" class=\"dcr-154zxly\">\n<p><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 14\" style=\"fill:var(--block-quote-fill)\" class=\"dcr-scql1j\"><path d=\"M5.255 0h4.75c-.572 4.53-1.077 8.972-1.297 13.941H0C.792 9.104 2.44 4.53 5.255 0Zm11.061 0H21c-.506 4.53-1.077 8.972-1.297 13.941h-8.686c.902-4.837 2.485-9.411 5.3-13.941Z\"\/><\/svg>We received this legislation on Saturday.
