Calls for NSW to Ban Nazi Salute After Rally

A white supremacist rally in Corowa, New South Wales, attended by approximately 50 people, has led to calls for the state to explicitly ban the Nazi salute, a move already taken by Victoria. The rally, which included chanting and a banner stating 'white man fight back', was dispersed by police without any arrests, although investigations are ongoing. Both state and federal leaders have condemned the event, with NSW Premier Chris Minns describing the rally as 'despicable' and reiterating that such hate has no place in the state. Victoria's Premier Jacinta Allan emphasized the need for unity against hate and noted the incident as further justification for strengthening anti-vilification laws. The rally has provoked significant community backlash, highlighting concerns over rising antisemitism and the effectiveness of current legislation. Criticism from local leaders like Deputy Opposition Leader Sussan Ley underscores the demand for more decisive legal action against such extremist displays.
