While federal parliament devoted Monday to emotion-filled Bondi condolence speeches, behind the scenes government and opposition inched to a deal to pass on Tuesday Labor’s fall-back measures relating to hate.
Late Monday, the Liberal Party room ticked off on the agreement.
The legislation will be introduced into parliament on Tuesday morning and put through both houses in a day. The measures will facilitate the banning of organisations that promote racial hatred, as well as enabling the refusal or cancellation of visas on the basis of hate-motivated conduct.
