I will bring another emphasis. We have all commented on the need for an exemption not to be included for, say, political discourse. We have all made some reference to that, but we have not got into what that means and why an exemption would exist in those spaces. I understand some arguments in respect of universities, topics that might be discussed there and all the freedom of speech stuff, but it is not freedom of speech if that becomes an actual hate crime or hate speech. Why are we carving that out? It would be great if Ms Hurley could comment on that.
