Nope. Slippery slopes don't really happen that often in reality. It's mostly just an argument used by Nazi sympathizers to protest against anti-hate speech measures.
It's literally happening in this case; notice that these laws also ban anything the Australian government considers a terrorist group, which is an expansive list.
I suppose this is the next phase of the slow? slide to fascism. It's depressing
