A Victorian couple is flying a flag featuring a swastika over their home, reigniting calls to ban people publicly displaying the symbol. The Anti-Defamation Commission chairman says the flag is a 'stomach-turning outrage that is a stain on our community'.
A Victorian couple is flying a flag featuring a swastika over their home in a small town in the state's north-west, reigniting calls to ban people publicly displaying the symbol.
The matter has also been brought to the attention of Yarriambiack Shire Council, however, chief executive Jessie Holmes said the council did not have the power to request the home owners take it down. "The flying of the Nazi flag in the skies of our nation is like plunging a dagger in the heart of Holocaust survivors and spitting in the face of the Diggers who fought to defeat Hitler and his genocidal regime," he said.
