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.”
Either was the hypothetical I responded to.
People have complained about being delayed. I’ve seen no one say they lost their jobs.

“May”. They don’t know that he did.
You’re moving the goal posts he said he would lose his job.
Not only did he lose his job he went to jail.
No, it says “may” (as I already stated) and “likely”, not that he did. So that’s unconfirmed and… No other examples.
I can tell you didn’t read the article, he went to jail.
For the third time: “we do have a bystander who may have just lost his freedom”
May. Likely. Unless you have confirmation that this solitary person you found lost his job then no, it’s not a valid concern.
Did you read it yourself?
