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.

    No, I’m saying that Israel runs psyops.

    You know what is actual violence? Punching people in the face. Everyone has the potential to become violent. That doesn’t mean you can go around punching everyone in the face. Go ask the cops they’ll help explain it to you if you need help understanding the concept.

      …and the authoritarian emerges from their shell.

          You will not find a single quote of me ever defending any rapist. You can search my entire history and not find one.

          You either know this and are lying or never checked and are lying.

          Why do people insist on lying about me to my face?
