Physical Disability Australia has put out a Joint Statement with fellow Disability Representative Organisations around the Combatting Antisemitism, Hate and Extremism (Criminal and Migration Laws) Bill 2026 (Cth) and the additional protections it introduces to address serious forms of hate and extremism in Australia.
Following the horrific event of 14 December 2025 targeting the Jewish community at Bondi beach, and in response to this abhorrent act of hate and antisemitism, the organisations listed below believe that this amended Bill will still not deliver comprehensive protection for minority groups – including people living with disability:
- * Australian Autism Alliance
- * Children and Young People with Disability Australia
- * Community Mental Health Australia
- * Disability Advocacy Network Australia
- * Down Syndrome Australia
- * National Ethnic Disability Alliance
- * People with Disability Australia
- * Physical Disability Australia
- * Queensland Advocacy for Inclusion
- * Women With Disabilities Australia
