This is a real concern, because I have seen cases where groups (government or not) try to distort definitions such as “antisemitism” to include valid critiques of the Zionist Regime, and then lump that in among actually progressive protections. I haven’t kept up with the Victorian legislation in question, I don’t know if this is the case, but the linked articles suggest it’s on the table.
That said, it goes without saying, the parts protecting the rainbow community from bigotry is obviously a benefit to society.

It very clearly says these are hate speech laws extending to cover the queer community and that is explicitly what they are protesting about.
Your parallel is not valid here.
