'A war between good and evil': Victoria to ban public display of the Nazi swastika

May 11, 2022

Victoria is set to ban public display of the Nazi symbol, with future offenders to face a year in jail and a $22,000 fine.

The move will make Victoria the first Australia state or territory to take such a stand against anti-Semitism.

The Victorian Government has introduced the Summary Offences Amendment (Nazi Symbol Prohibition Bill) into parliament today, which will make it illegal to publicly display the symbol.

Victorian Attorney-General Jaclyn Symes announced the move outside parliament, saying she hopes the legislation will send "a very clear message" about Victoria's stance on dissemination of Nazi and neo-Nazi ideology.

"We want to do all we can to stamp out hate and give it no room to grow," she said.

Anti-Defamation Commission chairman Dvir Abramovich has said the move has been much-needed in Victoria.

"I've said it again and again, we have a Nazi swastikas epidemic in this state," he said.

"This is a war between good and evil, and we have to win this war."

Abramovich said the introduction of the law was "an uplifting and triumphant moment for every Victorian".

"It's a thunderous blow to the solar plexus of the neo-Nazi movement here in Victoria," he said.

"I think it will have a huge impact."

Abramovich said that seeing the symbol "tore a hole" through Jewish people's hearts.

The Buddhist swastika symbol will not be included in the legislation.

There will be a year-long education campaign to ensure people understand the difference between the symbols.

The use of swastikas in education, art and films and more will also be exempt.

The NSW government is said to be working on a similar bill.

Just gotta love how they left out on purpose, on which side of the "war between good and evil!!!1!" they see themselves.

They should ban public displays of commie symbols too. Fair is fair.

Are there a lot of Ukrainians in Victoria?

We Americans take for granted our freedom of speech. It's a foreign concept in the rest of the world.

I agree. You left out "disappearing" between "our" and "freedom", though.

I see what you did there. Zelensky is a Jew, so it can't be. ;-)

Certainly is, and Jews prove themselves the latter party every day.

Said it before and will say it again, Jews are the enemy of freedom in every single corner of the earth.

Zio-mason, puppet of the money launderers i.e. bankers. Why do you think your government just sent him $40 million meanwhile you're country is out of baby formula. Baby lives matter.

I used to draw swastika's all over my colouring books at Primary School (knew nothing about Nazi's, just liked the symbol). That was in Vic in the 90s, wonder what would happen now with all the SJW teachers, probably a suspension or more.
