Summary

Australia has enacted strict anti-hate crime laws, mandating jail sentences for public Nazi salutes and other hate-related offenses.

Punishments range from 12 months for lesser crimes to six years for terrorism-related hate offenses.

The legislation follows a rise in antisemitic attacks, including synagogue vandalism and a foiled bombing plot targeting Jewish Australians.

The law builds on state-level bans, with prior convictions for individuals performing Nazi salutes in public spaces, including at sporting events and courthouses.

    The main Australian neo-nazi organisation has known connections to ‘bikie’ gangs, so you’ve hit the mark here too.

    The best answer, while it’s still an option, is to continue community anti-fascist action against them. [enjoy1] [enjoy2]
