Shame this will be ignored

Ignored by who? Just from skimming the article:

Five teenagers have so far been convicted over the bashings.

Similar attacks have been reported in the ACT, Queensland and Western Australia, but police say many more incidents go unreported.

With a Victorian parliamentary inquiry into so-called Grindr attacks announced last week, there are now calls for a national response to anti-LGBTQIA+ hate crimes, as well as urgent measures to protect events like this weekend's Sydney Mardi Gras.

Less than three weeks after the assault on James, a 16-year-old boy stabbed Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel during a live-streamed church service in Wakeley. Nine days later, the Joint Counter-Terrorism Team — comprising NSW Police, the AFP and ASIO — carried out sweeping raids against a dozen teenagers, including the group who attacked James.

Aside from a load of hot air being released what's actually being done to stop this from happening again?
