Australia Implements National Ban on Nazi Symbols to Curb Far Right

Australia plans to introduce new laws banning the public display and sale of Nazi symbols and paraphernalia as the country sees a rise in the far-right movement. The law will ban such symbols from use on flags, armbands or printed on clothes. Those who break the proposed laws could face up to 12 months in prison, while the public display of Nazi symbols for academic, educational, artistic, literary, journalistic or scientific purposes would also be exempt.
