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.

    You are intentionally mischaracterizing my stance and then being preachy and condescending about it. It’s pretty annoying so I’m going to move on.

      I am not mischaracterizing anything. I am asking you to give an example of what you’re talking about.

      Clearly you can’t. You apparently don’t understand what autism is.

        If you actually wanted to understand my point, you would have a long time ago. It’s not that complicated.

          Your point was based on something that doesn’t happen, and an offensive suggestion.
