Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said; " I'm announcing a significant number of additional actions to build on the plan. Firstly, the Attorney-General and Minister for Home Affairs will develop a package of legislative reforms to crack down on those who spread hate, division and radicalisation.
Changes include making it illegal to preach or promote violence.
Organisations could be banned and visas revoked as the country comes to terms with its worse shooting this century.
After criticism for not clamping down earlier the prime minister admitted the government could have done more.
Albanese says its now his responsibility to heal and unite Australia.
