Tasmania the first Australian state to ban Nazi salute and symbols
When the Nazi salute was used during a demonstration in Melbourne earlier this year, it left many disturbed and distressed. Now one Australian state is becoming the first to ban the gesture.
"Some of them were put to hard labour and some were killed straight out, like my grandparents, being elderly. They went straight into the gas chambers in Auschwitz." The bill also bans the display of Nazi symbols with exemptions for “legitimate purposes", including academic, artistic, religious, scientific, cultural, educational or law enforcement purposes.George Goldsteen's father died in the Malthausen [[Malt-house-en]] concentration camp and he’s also broadly supportive of the legislation.
