Former attorney-general Mark Dreyfus recommends introducing new protections aimed at keeping Jewish Australians safe, according to reports from Brisbane Times, The Sydney Morning Herald, and The Age. The outlets say Dreyfus argues for protest laws that would be similar to those already applied outside abortion clinics. The proposed approach focuses on regulating the conduct of protests in specific locations in order to reduce harassment or intimidation. The articles describe Dreyfus’s position as a response to what he characterizes as previously unseen or unfamiliar forms of abuse, which he says have occurred and have affected Jewish communities. Dreyfus’s comments are presented as advocating for legislative or regulatory measures that would set clear boundaries on protests, including restrictions on certain behaviors in order to protect people from targeted intimidation. Across all three sources, the key theme is the call for additional legal protections for Jewish Australians, using a model based on existing protest restrictions in the context of abortion clinic access.
