Keith Pitt backs calls for tougher hate speech laws

Nationals MP Keith Pitt has backed Opposition Leader Peter Dutton's call for tougher hate speech laws. Peter Dutton has called for tougher hate speech laws to stop anti-Semitism, saying Jewish leaders shouldn't have to foot the bill to take radical hate preachers to court. "On this issue, he’s exactly right," Mr Pitt told Sky News host Caleb Bond. “I mean why on earth should the Jewish association have to go and take this action to prevent what shouldn’t be happening in the first place? “So, I think Dutton is exactly right, he is on the money here, action needs to be taken.”
