Abstract	Notes for Plenary Panel: My contribution is a legal one, explaining how hate speech is dealt with under current Queensland & Commonwealth provisions which make it unlawful to vilify people on grounds such as race, religion, sexuality or gender identity. I will also, if time permits, mention the human rights that are relevant to any discussion of hate speech. There is quite a lot that could be said about this, notably with reference to recent events: the media furore over Israel Folau’s social media post(s) and the debates a few years ago now over racial vilification and s 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act 1975 (Cth).
