It is Now A Criminal Act For Australians To Post Swastikas & Runes Online

[G.L.R.]

Not online, but how about attached to your own home?  Seems the word nazi has a connotation with anything bad.  But not just 'nazi' but 'Jew' does too.  People don't say 'Jew', but "Jewish person".  It tones down saying the word "Jew" outright.

Nationalist activist raided by Border Force for buying legal swastika flags online

https://www.noticer.news/nationalist-raided-border-force-flags

Excerpt: A nationalist activist has had his Sydney home raided by armed police who seized his phone months after he ordered war memorabilia online that included two legal swastika flags.

A dozen Australian Border Force (ABF), Australian Federal Police (AFP) and digital forensics officers turned up at the man's home at about 7.30am on Thursday morning, and told him they had a search warrant as a result of the August purchase to investigate alleged "trading in prohibited Nazi symbols".

Noticer News understands the flags were ordered from overseas for private photography purposes but were seized on arrival in Australia by customs in August, and the warrant allowed police to search the National Socialist Network member's home, car and electronic devices.

No other items were found during the search, but police seized the man's phone as "evidence" despite examining it during the raid. No charges have been laid.

Publicly displaying and trading in items depicting or containing prohibited Nazi symbols – the swastika and the double‑sig rune – was banned at the beginning of last year, but it is legal to own, purchase or privately display such items.

In February two military veterans, one a memorabilia collector, were arrested and charged after photographing a Nazi flag at a Sydney pub, and held in remand prison for 14 days before facing court.

Both pleaded guilty to "displaying a Nazi symbol", but were spared convictions after a magistrate heard they were not Nazis and did not hold anti-Semitic views.

The Jew ordered the cops and Govt to hunt down and make trouble for anybody it doesn't like for their political views or anything they have that symbolises Third Reich.

There is so much more serious crime to attend to, but they go after Nationalists who's memorabilia is just peacefully existing in their homes.

Neighbours star told to apologise to Jewish community before Nazi salute sentence

Excerpt: Australian actor Damien Richardson has been told to work with Jewish community leaders to come up with a "restorative justice" program or face a harsher sentence for making a satirical Nazi salute.

Richardson, 56, appeared in Moorabbin Magistrates Court on Thursday for a sentencing hearing after being found guilty in November of performing the salute during a speech at a private event in Melbourne last year while saying: "Am I gonna be fined now? I'm going to go jail for five years?"

Magistrate Justin Foster accepted Richardson was not a Nazi, anti-Semitic or showing loyalty to Adolf Hitler, and that he made the salute to mock Victoria's banning of the gesture and hit back at a negative newspaper article, but found him guilty because "it clearly looked like a Nazi salute".

The former Neighbours star and political candidate was accompanied by a large group of supporters during pre-sentencing submissions, and prosecutor Nicholas La Mattina began by telling the court the offence came with a maximum penalty of 12 months' imprisonment or a $23,000 fine.

Only Black Power Salutes Allowed
He told the court Nazi gestures were incompatible with a multicultural and multiethnic society, and caused a "significant impact" not only on the Jewish community but on a wide range of other groups including aboriginals, homosexuals and the disabled.

Mr La Mattina gave the court two examples of sentencing for Nazi salute offences on opposite ends of the spectrum, the first involving seven men in Geelong who made the salute in a post-football game photo but were spared convictions after completing cultural awareness training and writing "letters of reflection" following visits to a holocaust museum.

He said the other involved a neo-Nazi, who was sentenced to one month in jail for making the salute outside a Melbourne court.

Richardson's lawyer Peter Monagle told the court the salute was made to have "a satirical go at The Age", and that his client mentioned his grandfather fought the Nazis, admonished anti-Semites in the crowd, and did not hold Nazi or fascist views.

He told that court that Richardson, a father of three, had lost his NDIS accreditation as a result of the incident, had been publicly shamed, was targeted by far-left extremists who stuck up posters in his neighbourhood, which took a toll on him and his family, and said his client's gesture was far different from Mr Hersant's.

But Mr Foster the interjected and said: "At the moment all we've done is talk about the impact upon him, I haven't heard you say anything about the impact upon the Jewish community or anyone else who's affected by these sorts of gestures."

"When they see this, whether on Facebook or in front of the court, they can't determine the intention behind your client. Does he understand that?" he asked.

Mr Foster went on to tell Mr Monagle that Richardson should have "fallen on his sword from the outset" and "come armed to court with what he's going to do to make amends to the Jewish community".

"There's been a massive failure of leadership when it comes protecting the Jewish community," he said.

The magistrate said Richardson could put together a "program" with the Executive Council of Australian Jewry (ECAJ), which had representatives watching the hearing, in connection with the Australian government's Special Envoy on Combating Anti-Semitism, Jillian Segal, and suggested discussions with holocaust survivors, a Jewish museum visit, conversations with "key figures" who have been impacted by anti-Semitism, and a letter of apology to the Jewish community.

"I'm not a Jew myself, I can't understand the pain they go through as much as they do, surely you should be reaching out to them in conjunction with the prosecution to put together some sort of program," Mr Foster told Mr Monagle, saying he could then look at using that to impose a Community Corrections Order or adjourned undertaking.

"If he doesn't have any support for Nazi ideology, as I have found, then he shouldn't have any problems undertaking that sort of program. There needs to be restorative justice for the Jewish community.

"If it's not agreed to, well, there are other options on the table."

Mr Foster then adjourned the hearing so Mr Monagle and Mr Richardson could speak to the ECAJ about a potential program, and a short time later set a new sentencing date for December 19.
