00:03 but there's also a right to be free from intimidation,
00:07 from incitement to violence,

00:37 but it's important to note that there'll be no tolerance given
00:41 for racial vilification, incitement to violence,
00:44 racism or vilification on New South Wales streets,
00:48 because there's no place for that in our multicultural society.
00:51 We need to learn from Monday night.
