The NSW government has announced that there will be new legislation surrounding hate speech and symbols rolled out across the state on Monday in the wake of the Bondi terror attack.
NSW Premier Chris Minns has announced the state government will be cracking down on what is deemed hate speech.
"There is no place in New South Wales for slogans or symbols that incite hatred, glorify violence or intimidate communities," Minns said.

"These laws send a clear message that hateful conduct will not be tolerated.
"These changes, alongside tougher gun laws and temporary restrictions on public assemblies following a terrorist incident, are about protecting the community, and allowing NSW Police to focus on preventing harm."
The chant "globalise the intifada" will also be banned, with the Minns saying "it encourages violence in our community".
"Things have changed since Sunday. We don't live in that world anymore. This is the truth, everything needs to be examined."
The Premier also called for a Royal Commission, saying we don't yet have the full picture of Sunday's mass shooting.
"Right now, we've got bits and pieces of the jigsaw puzzle here, but we don't have the full picture," he said.
"Until we've got a full and accurate picture of exactly how this happened, with a plan to ensure that it doesn't happen again, then I don't have answers to the people of New South Wales about what happened on Sunday."
Attorney General Michael Daley will consult the Legislative Assembly Committee on Law and Safety to potentially include any additional statements in the state's new hate speech laws.

"We must tackle this scourge in all its forms, including inflammatory and divisive symbols and slogans which cause real fear to vulnerable communities," he said.
"This Government is determined to do whatever is necessary to ensure community safety and cohesion after the horrific events at Bondi."
The laws will be introduced when parliament returns in the new year.
Additionally, new legislation is set to be rolled out on Monday, making it an offence under NSW law to publicly display terrorist symbols such as ISIS or Hamas flags without a plausible reason.
Reasonable excuses include an academic purpose or another purpose within the public interest.
The maximum penalty for the offence carries a two-year prison sentence or a $22,000 fine, and up to $110,000 for organisations.
Police will also be given greater powers to remove the face coverings of people at public assemblies.
"Police need to be in a position where if they suspect a crime is being committed, they can launch effective action," Minns said.
"We've seen in the past that hateful, racist speech has been set in our community.
"It's a difficult job for the police, and we need to make sure they've got the tools to take that action."
AFP says preachers 'hired lawyers', searched more places
AFP Commissioner Krissy Barrett says search warrants have been used as recently as yesterday as the investigation continues into the attack.
"The location of the search warrants will not be made public but let me reassure Australians that we are leaving no stone unturned in Australia and overseas in this investigation," Barrett said.
Barrett said this week hate preachers are being investigated, with the new laws now announced by Minns.
"It is clear some of these preachers have hired lawyers to ensure they do not reach the threshold to be charged for hate speech and other crimes.
"It is clear some of these preachers know exactly what they are doing – and are clearly trying to cause fear and division.
"The announcement this week to lower the threshold for hate speech will give the AFP greater scope to deter and charge individuals who are injecting and directing poisonous language towards the Jewish community."
