Neo-Nazi Protesters Display Offensive Banner in Melbourne

A group of neo-Nazis staged an antisemitic protest at Victoria's Parliament House, displaying a banner reading 'Jews hate freedom' and chanting slogans such as 'The Jews must go' and 'Freedom for the white man'. Acting Superintendent Kelly Walker condemned the incident as 'disgusting' and stated that police are investigating, with one protester already identified and expected to face charges. Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan also condemned the protest, emphasizing her commitment to combat rising antisemitism and ensure that such hateful demonstrations do not take root in Victoria. The protesters, who appeared to have a photographer with them, quickly dispersed when police arrived. This incident follows previous neo-Nazi gatherings at the same location, raising concerns about the persistence of hate groups in the area. Victoria Police are reviewing surveillance footage to identify the remaining participants and have urged witnesses to come forward.
