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.

    I do think it’s funny that they accuse you of being mean one comment after they insult you.

      Your should’ve seen it before he edited the impulsively rotten childish comments like “baby philosophy” or something about de Bottons pop-philosophy videos. They’re pop-sci on YT sure but for that format, rather good for the very basics and he covers a lot of significant topics, ideas and authors.
