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.

    It was not a misinterpretation and you know it. You said it as a deliberate insult.

    But I you saying you “misinterpreted me” as “saying talking to the police is authoritarian as being pro crime, therefore enabling rapists” is the closest you will ever come to admitting that I do not defend (not enable, defend) the rapist.

    But then admitting what you actually did was accuse me of being a proud Trump supporter would be too honest of you, so I’ll take what I can get.

    I’d say be better, but you won’t.

    I bet you also won’t say anything about the fact that you claimed someone who is in therapy is “projecting” when they say someone else needs therapy either, but I’ll let that one go.

      Being against cops altogether does enable & defend rapist from punishment. I wish you the best in your therapy though.

          You can talk to your therapist about it.
