The Bill became a lightning rod for the debates over limits on free speech
a large part of the Government’s hate crime Bill will serve as a salutary lesson for future administrations contemplating legislation on contentious hot-button topics. First introduced in 2021, the Bill became a lightning rod for the debates over limits on free speech which have roiled politics in many democracies in recent years.
The hate crime Bill was intended to provide greater protection for those at risk of the sort of abuse, harassment or violence which has no place in a pluralist democratic society. It provided for tougher sentences for crimes such as assault that are motivated by hatred and also proposed new offences of incitement to violence or hatred.
