The Greens have thrown up a roadblock for Labor by declaring it will not support the government's sweeping changes to hate and gun laws without amendments as the Coalition also backs away from the reforms.

In short:

The Greens will not support the government’s sweeping changes to hate and gun laws without significant amendments, including the broadening of protections to all minority groups.

Opposition Leader Sussan Ley labelled the government’s laws “unsalvageable” on Thursday, in a signal that the Liberal Party is preparing to vote against the bill.

What’s next?

Parliament will return early next week to debate the wide-ranging legislation.

    Greens - it doesn’t allow people to call out a genocide
