Proposed Changes to Victoria's Anti-Vilification Laws

AACS is deeply concerned that the proposed changes to Victoria’s anti-vilification laws will have a chilling effect on freedom of expression within our schools and the broader community.

The vague and overly broad language of the proposals creates significant uncertainty and risks unfairly targeting individuals and institutions whose views and beliefs deviate from prevailing cultural norms.

AACS have sent a submission to the Inquiry asking them to carefully consider these concerns and adopt recommendations that protect both vulnerable individuals and fundamental freedoms of speech and religion.
