AUSTRALIA’S government plans legislation to ban swastikas and other Nazi symbols nationwide due to an increase in far-right activity, Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus said today.
While most Australian states already ban such Nazi symbols, the federal law would go further by also banning the trade in such material, Mr Dreyfus said.
“There’s been a rise in this kind of violent far-right activity. We think it’s time for there to be a federal law which I’ll be bringing to the Parliament next week,” Mr Dreyfus told Nine Network television.
