"Australia Bans Nazi Salute and Hate Symbols"

TL;DR
Australia has outlawed the Nazi salute and symbols associated with designated "terror" groups in response to a surge in anti-Semitic and hate crimes. The legislation criminalizes the display or sale of Nazi motifs and symbols associated with groups like ISIL, Hamas, and Hezbollah. The move comes after a rise in hate incidents, including neo-Nazis clashing with protesters and anti-Jewish incidents. The law aims to send a clear message that there is no place in Australia for acts and symbols that glorify the horrors of the Holocaust and terrorist acts.
