Victoria has become Australia's first state to specifically ban the display of the Nazi swastika.
Under a new law, people who intentionally exhibit the symbol face up to a year in jail or a A$22,000 (£12,300; $15,000) fine.
Victorian Premier Dan Andrews said "nobody has the right to spread racism, hate or anti-Semitism".
Like many places globally, Australia has seen a sharp rise in anti-Semitic incidents in recent times.

1. Australia can do what it wants,

it is a sovereign country, but that won't fly here in the US due to the 1A.

2. That's stupid

You think haters can't come up with a new symbol? You think attributing this level of power to a swastikas won't just add a forbidden allure to those inclined to spread hate?

We have to fight the actual bigotry, not it's ephemera.
