Hate speech consultation

The Ministry of Justice is consulting on proposed Hate Speech legislative controls with submissions due 6 August 2021. Their discussion document is here.

There is likely to be a diversity of views, we would aim to represent these in TINZ’ feedback.

We have set up a google doc for members & personnel to contribute to TINZ’ submission, and so that people can use this to think about the issue more.

Anyone with the link can edit.
