## Resource

Australia’s government has released a new report tackling Islamophobia, rolling out some meaningful steps like mental health support for Muslim women and school tolerance programs—but it’s stopping short on key demands from special envoy Aftab Malik, including a ban on religious discrimination and an independent review of counter-terrorism laws. While the Prime Minister insists Islamophobia has no place in Australia, Malik insists more is needed, warning Muslim communities can’t bear the burden alone. Security agencies’ advice to keep terrorism definitions tied to religious ideology clashes with Malik’s call for modernization, while divisive rhetoric from figures like Pauline Hanson continues to fuel marginalization.
