This is the best summary I could come up with:


Performing the Nazi salute will become a criminal offence in Australia, as the federal government seeks to counter rising outbreaks of anti-Semitism and racism.

Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus has announced a plan to make it a criminal offence for people to perform the act under federal law.

"The amendments will ensure that no one will be allowed to glorify or profit from acts and symbols which celebrate the Nazis and their evil ideology," the attorney-general said in a statement.

The letter, which has been signed by more than 600 people including Lachlan Murdoch, Kerry Stokes, Gladys Berejiklian and Steve Brack appears on a website.

We cherish the Australian way of life; one which celebrates acceptance, cultural diversity and the values of a modern tolerant democracy," the pledge reads.

On Tuesday morning, a delegation of Israeli family members of hostages taken by Hamas on October 7 took to the lawns of Parliament House to call for the return of their loved ones.

It’s not the “nazis” being antisemitism at the moment, it’s the lefties (labor and greens). It’s disgusting. Need to find a new party to vote for. Pirate party still around?
