Part of 2. Questions to the Counsel General and Brexit Minister – in the Senedd at 2:55 pm on 16 January 2019.
We always need to be mindful of the best way of achieving these objectives. One of the issues that seems to me to be important is that we retain the level of flexibility to be able to respond to emerging dimensions in hate crime. It is unfortunately one of those areas that seems to find new outlets in different contexts, as Leanne Wood's question indicated. Social media has provided a whole new platform, hasn't it, for individuals to be able to express views that we would find abhorrent in this Chamber? And it's incumbent on us all, I think, to find ways of ensuring that that is eradicated, and educating children and young people in responsible means of being online and also in the nature of relationships, both community relationships and personal relationships, is an important part of that.
