Queensland will become the first state to outlaw pro-Palestine chants, “From the river to the sea,” and “globalise the intifada” as the Crisafulli government moves to legislate new anti-hate measures.

The Liberal National Party government will introduce new offences and penalties for some existing offences focused on “terrorist symbols and phrases, and safety around places of worship.”
