NSW has officially BANNED the public display of Nazi flags or memorabilia featuring swastikas. The move comes after a public inquiry and could see offenders slapped with a fine of over $100,000 or up to a year's jail time. New South Wales has made knowingly displaying Nazi flags or memorabilia bearing swastikas illegal, with offenders facing up to a year's jail time or a potential fine of more than $100,000. Legislation passed the state's upper house last night with unanimous support. Earlier this year, an inquiry recommended a ban on the public display of Nazi symbols to combat anti-semitism. Attorney-General Mark Speakman said the passing of the new law showed anti-semitism and racism won't be tolerated in NSW. "This new offence sends a clear message that the display of Nazi symbols, and the hatred and bigotry they represent will not, and should not, be tolerated." continued: https://www.9news.com.au/national/australia-breaking-news-today-live-russia-ukraine-updates-latest-headlines-august-12-2022/26dba267-3577-437f-b1ea-79b9a896b41f?ocid=Social-9NewsS#post=587942d4-7107-4d09-8b47-004aa6b2d9f6
