Australian lawmakers have banned the performance of the Nazi salute in public and outlawed the display or sale of Nazi hate symbols such as the swastika in landmark legislation that went into effect in the country Monday. The new laws also make the act of glorifying OR praising acts of terrorism a criminal offense.

The crime of publicly performing the Nazi salute or displaying the Nazi swastika is punishable by up to 12 months in prison, according to the Reuters news agency.

Mark Dreyfus, Australia’s Attorney-General, said in a press release Monday that the laws — the first of their kind in the country — sent “a clear message: there is no place in Australia for acts and symbols that glorify the horrors of the Holocaust and terrorist acts.”

    So you have no evidence to refute the guy’s claim that he would lose his job and go back to jail if he’s late. You have no idea what happens to parolees when they get arrested but somehow think he was able to keep his job as he was arrested. It seems like the theme is you don’t know.

    Now you’ve moved the goal posts to find more examples.
