Self-avowed Nazi convicted in Australian state of Victoria after performing Nazi salute

A SELF-AVOWED Nazi has became the first person to be convicted in the Australian state of Victoria after performing an outlawed Nazi salute.

Jacob Hersant gave the salute and praised Nazi leader Adolf Hitler in front of cameras outside the Victoria County Court on October 27, 2023, after he had appeared on an unrelated charge. 

It was six days after the Victoria state government had made the salute illegal.
