Original Note:
This tweet says it is legal to incite violence against Muslims. Sections 81 and 83 of the Crimes Act 1961 outlaw incitement to violence against anyone. This is different to the proposed law that would punish incitement to hatred and discrimination, not violence. https://www.legislation.govt.nz/act/public/1961/0043/1.0/DLM328549.html#:~:text=81%20Seditious%20offences%20defined,-(1)%20A%20seditious&text=(c)%20To%20point%20out%2C,between%20different%20classes%20of%20persons. https://www.legislation.govt.nz/act/public/1961/0043/1.0/DLM328555.html https://christchurchattack.royalcommission.nz/the-report/part-9-social-cohesion-and-embracing-diversity/hate-crime-and-hate-speech/
