#2 — Australia plans to ban swastikas and other Nazi symbols in legislation coming next week

CANBERRA, Australia (AP) — Australia’s government plans legislation to ban 
swastikas and other Nazi symbols nationwide due to an increase in far-
right activity, Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus said Thursday.

While most Australian states already ban such Nazi symbols, the federal 
law would go further by also banning the trade in such material, Dreyfus 
said.

“There’s been a rise in this kind of violent far right activity. We think 
it’s time for there to be a federal law which I’ll be bringing to the 
Parliament next week,” Dreyfus told Nine Network television.

We’ve got responsibility for import and export. We want to see an end to 
trading in this kind of memorabilia or any items which bear those Nazi 
symbols,” Dreyfus said. “There’s no place in Australia for spreading of 
hatred and violence.”

The Labor Party government controls the House of Representatives but not 
the Senate, and it’s unclear when a ban might pass or take effect. The law 
would include a penalty for people displaying Nazi symbols of up to a year 
in prison.

Displaying symbols for religious, educational or artistic purposes would 
be among a range of exclusions from the ban. It will not affect the use of 
the swastika for people observing Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism.

Dreyfus, who is Jewish, said the number of neo-Nazis was small, but the 
main domestic spy agency, the Australian Security Intelligence 
Organization, had raised concerns about their activity in the past three 
years.

“This is a very small number of people. I’m hoping it’s getting small and 
it will eventually disappear,” he told Australian Broadcasting Corp.

No federal govt gets to do that.

So is just more mindless virtue signalling.

Fat chance.

It all invites the question, why do these groups exist?
So typical of all to blame the symptoms and not the causes.
Watch out...

Like in the USA, the Trump circus marches on while no one attends to
its causes.  So fuggen typical!

The low-interest rates policy of the USA in the late 90s, the mortgage
crises there, and the 2008 crash have all the chickens coming home to
roost.   Populism is doomed and we're all gonna suffer.

Because some are into that sort of thing.

There are no causes that anything can be done about in this case.

There are no causes that anything can be done about in this case either.

That isnt the reason for Trump.

Fantasy.
