Australians will be banned from making the Nazi salute in public after the federal government reversed its position on the issue amid pressure from the opposition and Jewish community groups.<\/p>\n

The government also announced it would scrap a plan to ban a flag associated with Islamic State after the Muslim community warned the move risked criminalising legitimate displays of Islamic imagery.<\/p>\n

The government will instead move to ban the public display of the symbols of any proscribed terrorist organisation, a policy that would outlaw the display of the Hamas flag.<\/p>\n

Labor members of the parliamentary joint committee on intelligence and security earlier this month rejected a Coalition proposal to ban the Nazi salute in a rare breakdown of bipartisanship within the committee.<\/p>\n

Peter Khalil, the Labor chair of the committee, said the government\u2019s initial intention to outlaw symbols but not the salute was informed by police advice, noting laws could not be effective unless they could be enforced.<\/p>\n

The Labor majority on the committee said it \u201cstrongly condemns the actions of those who would seek to intimidate the parts of the Australian community with physical gestures such as the Nazi salute\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, the committee is of the view that such an offence would not be appropriate as a federal offence, but rather is an appropriate matter for state and territory law,\u201d they wrote earlier this month.<\/p>\n

The government changed its mind in a bid to fend off parliamentary debate about the issue and ensure the passage of its hate symbols bill was a unifying moment, even if the Nazi salute ban proved difficult to enforce.<\/p>\n

Opposition Leader Peter Dutton earlier this month accused Anthony Albanese of not doing enough to combat antisemitism, a charge the prime minister passionately rejected.<\/p>\n

Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus said on Tuesday the new federal laws \u201cwill ensure that no one will be allowed to glorify or profit from acts and symbols which celebrate the Nazis and their evil ideology\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is absolutely no place in Australia for hatred, violence and antisemitism,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The government had originally proposed banning only public displays of Nazi symbols such as the swastika, also known as the Hakenkreuz, as well as the flag of the Islamic State terror group.<\/p>\n

Dvir Abramovich, chairman of the Anti-Defamation Commission, applauded the government\u2019s change of mind.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis bill will deliver a blow to those inflamed with vicious antisemitism who have weaponised this evil gesture as a rallying cry to terrorise the community,\u201d said Abramovich, who campaigned for the Nazi salute ban.<\/p>\n

Executive Council of Australian Jewry co-chief executive Peter Wertheim said: \u201cThe amended bill has many positive features which will be welcome news to the Australian Jewish community, especially with the extraordinary increases we have seen recently in the level of antisemitism from different quarters.\u201d<\/p>\n

Liberal MP Andrew Wallace, the deputy chair of the intelligence and security committee, said: \u201cI\u2019m glad to hear that Labor have done a backflip and have finally committed to amending legislation to prohibit the Nazi salute.\u201d<\/p>\n

Victoria recently banned the Nazi salute.<\/p>\n

White supremacist Jacob Hersant was the first person charged with the offence after allegedly performing the banned action outside a Melbourne court earlier this month.<\/p>\n
