Judith Collins says amending hate speech laws in light of the Christchurch mosque attacks would breach the right to free speech.
The Government's officially ended the coordinated response to the 2019 tragedy that killed 51 people.
36 recommendations from a report into the attack have been adopted - but eight won't be, including hate speech amendments.
The Lead Coordination Minister told Andrew Dickens inciting violence is already restricted.
She says someone who states they don't like someone else for being different is a fool - but that doesn't mean they should be arrested.
