From the explanatory memorandum
Sections 80.2, 80.2C and 80.2D would be explicitly excluded from the definition of hate crime as these offences are targeted at conduct that would be inappropriate to capture in the definition of hate crime. Urging violence against the Constitution captures a broader range of conduct aimed at opposition to the institutions of Australia as opposed to violence directed at groups distinguished by race, national or ethnic origin. Hate crime conduct, while violent and offensive, generally falls short of terrorism, and is distinct from genocide. As such, advocating terrorism and advocating genocide should not be captured in this framework and are best criminalised through existing frameworks within the Criminal Code.
