Why the secrecy, premier? It’s got our attention
The NSW government is facing scrutiny over its decision to keep the Sackar review of hate-speech laws confidential. Premier Chris Minns admitted he has not fully read the document, which has been under wraps since November. The review is central to ongoing political tensions and legislative changes regarding penalties for inciting violence against the LGBTQ community.
- ▪The Sackar review is a confidential document commissioned by the NSW government regarding hate-speech laws.
- ▪Premier Chris Minns has not read the full review but claims it has informed recent legislative changes.
- ▪The opposition and Greens are challenging the government's claim that the review is a cabinet document.
