While embracing most recommendations from the envoy’s report, the government declined to strengthen religious protections or review counter-terrorism laws, citing national security concerns. In response to Hanson’s controversial remarks about White Australia, Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke condemned her comments as shocking for modern Australia — though Hanson denies calling for its return. The plan includes a new federal police social cohesion unit, funding for community groups, mandatory training for politicians and public servants, and a taskforce to tackle Islamophobia in schools. Though Muslim groups welcome the initiative, they stress more action is needed. The Prime Minister also warned voters against supporting fringe figures like Malcolm Roberts, linking such choices to societal harm.
