It sounds bad on the surface but what constitutes hate speech is completely subjective so impossible to define in a legal sense without also affecting freedom of speech.

Plus we already have laws against inciting violence etc so it's not like there's a gaping hole

So then fix it. Or change it, or rework it. Don't just cut cut cut because things aren't perfect. How is society supposed to progress if we kill any ambitious programmes?

In this case the premise is fundamentally flawed and can't really be fixed.

Therefore, it's logical to stop wasting time on it and spend the time on the new priorities instead

I disagree the premise is flawed. We, as a society, have decided hate-speech is not ok.
