The answer as to why one bill is put forward as a priority depends on what point in the cycle you're referring to.
The reason we introduced the combatting hate act—the first of three major crime bills going through the House right now—is that it was ready earliest. It is a far simpler bill in terms of what it seeks to do, compared with sweeping reforms on bail and sentencing, on gender-based violence or on protecting kids online and in the real world. Early in the fall sitting of Parliament, we moved forward most quickly with that particular bill.
