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.
well put. i still thoroughly disagree with you, mind, but this comment clicked my understanding of this argument.
Would you mind outlining why?
because giving them wiggle room in the law will only allow for them to destroy that legal protection for everyone else. thats literally what they advocate for.
