The Zionist Federation of Australia welcomed the Government’s decision to introduce legislation to ban the Nazi symbol.
ZFA President Jeremy Leibler said, “The Hakenkreuz is a universal symbol of murder and hatred, and it’s used by extremist organisations to intimidate minorities and recruit members. Violent right-wing extremism is rising in Australia. Banning the symbol sends the message that Australia rejects this hatred, and will help prevent the growth of extremist organisations and future violence.”
