The display of the Nazi salute and symbols is set to be unlawful across Victoria from the end of this week after legislation passed state parliament.
The Summary Offences Amendment Act 2023 cleared the Legislative Council on Tuesday night, ready to be given royal assent.
"But it also demonstrates that Victoria is a place where this sort of hateful behaviour, the use of symbols and signs and gestures like this, have no place here."And that's why we've moved as quickly as we can to bring these laws into effect." "How police use the laws that are passed by the parliament is very much an operational matter for Victoria Police," Ms Allan said.
