2nd Australian state bans public displays of Nazi swastikas

5. I don't think it was all that close in the end...

Japan never had any solid plans to invade Australia, but the Allies were worried it might happen even though Japanese supply lines wouldn't have stretched far enough and it would have been impossible for Japan to launch an invasion of a mostly empty continent. Darwin and Sydney were bombed, an a small number of Japanese troops did manage to land in Western Australia trying to investigate reports of a massive Allied base being built, but they wandered round aimlessly and never encountered people so they left again. The US didn't save us from anything. What the US did was fill the gap left by Britain refusing to help when Australia felt threatened by Japan.

Anyway, what's led to these new laws is a disturbing rise in neo-nazi groups. I hope all other states and territories follow the lead of Victoria and New South Wales....
