The director-general and minister do not need to observe procedural fairness in either providing advice or listing a hate group, meaning affected parties will not have the right to dispute allegations against them before they are listed as a hate group.

Don't have to consider procedural fairness?? So groups the Home Affairs Minister and Director General don't like can be freely listed and defamed with no recourse. Theres a reason defamation payouts can get so large, but cunts in these two positions can now throw out a listing that is a whisker under terrorist status and its all cool 😎

They also have the powers to,

• deport or cancel the visas of individuals associated with hate groups,
• increase penalties for hate crime offences, and
• create new aggravated penalties for hate preachers and leaders who advocate violence.

"The great concern we have about banning organisations is there is no requirement for procedural fairness, known as natural justice." "The executive always has to be subject to checks and balances, including by the courts — not to do so breaches the rule of law and is fundamentally undemocratic." - Barrister Greg Barns

What the fuck are they doing. Laws like these can be used by capricious bad actors in the future. This smacks of the US Patriot Act level of democratic undermining.
