Albanesi calls the bill a quote comprehensive package of reforms which creates serious offenses for hate
preachers and leaders seeking to radicalize young Australians. The proposed legislation would also expand and strengthen the existing ban on prohibited Nazi symbols and make it easier for the Home Affairs Minister to cancel or refuse visas for people who spread hatred.

However, hot and windy conditions are expected to return later this week. At the time of recording, two emergency warnings remain in place for blazers in the
