Department of Justice, Home Affairs and Migration

Under the Freedom of Information Act 2014, I would like to see the evidence the Minister is referring too to support the point she made claiming it was incorrect to say the vast majority of people don’t want this. On 14 June, the Minister for Justice stated at a press conference “it’s incorrect to say that the vast majority of people don’t want this”, in relation to the Hate Speech Laws. This position was stated, according to the Minister on information she had from the general public.
