People who display or trade Nazi hate symbols will face up to 12 months jail under proposed new federal laws.
People who display or trade Nazi hate symbols will face up to 12 months jail under proposed new federal laws, in a crackdown by the Albanese government that goes further than similar bans already in place in Victoria and NSW by outlawing the sale of certain Nazi memorabilia.
“The ban includes, but is not limited to, the trade and public display of flags, armbands, t-shirts, insignia and the publication of symbols online promoting Nazi ideology.” Dr Dvir Abramovich, chairman of the Anti-Defamation Commission who has long campaigned to ban the sale of Nazi material, praised the crackdown, saying it made clear “Australia will never provide a haven for the ultimate emblems of inhumanity and will not allow the trafficking in the blood-soaked items of the devil”.
The government’s bill will not prevent the private ownership of Nazi Hakenkreuz or SS material, or their display as war memorabilia in museums, and will allow the passing on of such items so long as payment is not sought for them.
