Reforms to the nation’s hate speech laws are unlikely to pass parliament with both the Coalition and the Greens rejecting the government’s draft proposal.

The opposition slammed Labor’s sweeping hate speech laws as “unsalvageable” and a clumsy attempt to combat antisemitism following the Bondi massacre.

Greens senator Mehreen Faruqi said her party would not support the bill in its current form, because it could have unintended consequences.

Faruqi said any changes to hate speech protections needed to tackle all forms of discrimination, not just anti-Semitism as intended by the federal government in the wake of December’s Bondi Beach massacre.

“The legacy of the horrific and appalling violence in Bondi cannot be the undermining of political, civil and human rights,” she told reporters in Canberra on Thursday afternoon.

Labor hopes to introduce and pass the laws next week but with both the opposition and Greens skeptical of the changes, that appears unlikely without a major rewrite.

The federal government’s draft laws in response to the December 14 attack seek to crack down on hate preachers, increase penalties for hate speech, and create a national gun buy-back scheme after two Islamic-inspired shooters killed 15 Hanukkah revellers at Bondi Beach.

The legislation will require the support of either the Coalition or the Greens to pass.

But on Thursday Opposition Leader Sussan Ley said the Coalition had “extremely serious concerns” about the bill, which did not address either Islamic extremism or the rise of antisemitism.

“The opposition will continue to scrutinise this legislation carefully, but from what we have seen so far, it looks pretty unsalvageable,” she said.

“Our job is to pass laws that contain clear offences for courts and police to use. Instead, the flaws in this bill will add confusion and delay in the charging and sentencing of terrorist offenders.”

Ley would seek to enshrine definitions of antisemitism in the law.

Earlier, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said he was stunned at Coalition complaints about being rushed into reviewing the laws following last month’s deadly Bondi terror attack.

Albanese said the opposition had been hypocritical in continuing to criticise an early return to parliament after repeatedly demanding it in the weeks following December 14 massacre.

“The Coalition, day after day, very clearly called for parliament to be recalled not on Monday, January 19, but during Christmas week,” he told ABC Sydney radio on Thursday.

“Now they’re saying that this is somehow rushed.”

Ley convened a Liberal leadership meeting on Wednesday night, where she expressed reservations about Labor’s bill, claiming it would not eradicate antisemitism or crack down on radical Islamic extremism. The ABC reports she had support from senior Liberal figures such as Angus Taylor, Anne Ruston and Paul Scarr.

Former Liberal frontbencher Andrew Hastie has already declared in a social media post that he will vote against the new laws, which hecalled an “attack on our basic democratic freedoms”, as well as freedom of religion and conscience.

On Thursday, another senior Coalition figure, Senator Jonathon Duniam, said the Liberals were poised to oppose the legislation, which adds new hate crimes and includes firearms-related reforms, given members of the conservative flank had already come out against it.

Duniam said the party’s biggest concern is that it was being pushed through too quickly, adding it didn’t properly address antisemitism.

“They’ve done well when it comes to bringing in laws urgently, but a big fail on laws doing exactly what it is they need to do,” he said in Canberra.

But Executive Council of Australian Jewry co-chief executive Peter Wertheim urged the opposition to vote for the legislation, and “not allow the perfect to become the enemy of the good”.

“By all means seek to amend the bill to remove its shortcomings but a wholesale rejection of the bill would not at all be warranted,” he said.

“The defeat of the bill would be a retrograde step.”

Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke labelled criticisms of the bill’s timeline as as hypocritical and said there couldn’t be a more “serious impetus for urgent action”.

Elsewhere, Nationals senator Susan McDonald said the bill “has very few friends” and sought to do too much.

“Absolutely we’ve called for legislation to be brought forward,” she told ABC RN.

“We’ve called for the parliament to be reformed because it is absolutely critical that we eradicate antisemitism in this country and that we remove radical Islam.”

Recent One Nation recruit Barnaby Joyce said the party would not back the legislation as it would punish “recreational pig shooters in country areas” who should not be lumped in with terrorists.

He told ABC Radio that Sydney residents could be “easily cajoled” into believing gun reforms were a solution following the Bondi shootings, as they generally didn’t own firearms.

The government’s hate speech legislation will be debated on Monday when parliament returns early following the December 14 massacre at Bondi Beach.

Under the changes, hate speech and racial vilification offences would be introduced with a defence included for people quoting directly from a religious text.

Religious leaders have also urged the government to halt and rewrite the laws, saying they may open people up to prosecution over past remarks in its current form.

Anglican Bishop Michael Stead said the reform created a “minefield of definitions” about hate and that the bill included a retrospective element in relation to banned groups.

Australian National Imams Council President Sheikh Shadi Alsuleiman said the bill created “serious legal uncertainty” by exposing past lawful speech to new penalties.

A report on the hate speech reforms is due on Friday before debate next week.
