These bills, which passed anyway, criminalized slogans like, from the river to the sea and globalized the Antifada. Its labor's first major pushback, since losing power in the 2024 state election.

But critics say they weaken gun controls and rush through free speech limits. LNP figures like Jared Blagy sland labor, calling them full of anti-Semites inciting with terrorists. Labor leaders Steven Miles defended the vote, focusing on free speech worries and process flaws. Some Jewish and Muslim groups, plus civil libertarians, oppose the bills too.
