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.
Work like at a business open to the public?
Obviously not on the street, but on private business premises.
Like disturbing the peace laws.
I was joking but it seems people don’t understand humor.
Yes, I’m famous for not understanding humor.
Everyone on Lemmy knows me as a 100% humorless person.
