"antisemitism was not tolerated in Australia. Anyone allegedly performing Nazi salutes is displaying criminal behaviour that brings pain and anguish to the Jewish community and divides Australian society, Nutt said. He said the national security investigations team was established in September to target those causing high harm to Australia's social cohesion including attempts to vilify marginalised communities. Antisemitism is a cancer that requires swift and direct action, which is what the AFP is continuing to do, Nutt said."
"The man is expected to appear before ACT magistrates court on Friday, where police will allege in October a member of the public confronted him as he stuck stickers up at a shopping centre and then performed a Nazi salute before leaving the centre. The man allegedly performed another Nazi salute on 12 December at a different shopping centre, police said. Along with our law enforcement partners, we are committed to stopping hate, division and violence in the community."
An 18-year-old has been charged with performing two Nazi salutes at Canberra shopping centres and placing propaganda-style stickers. Police allege in October he was confronted while sticking stickers at a shopping centre and he then performed a Nazi salute; they allege he performed another Nazi salute on 12 December at a different centre. He faces trespass charges for multiple incidents at the Australian National University and two counts of damaging commonwealth property. AFP national security investigators executed a search warrant at a Weston property and seized phones, a computer, stickers and clothing. AFP assistant commissioner Stephen Nutt said antisemitism is not tolerated and vowed action to stop hate.
