Victoria Police is warning action will be taken against anyone who uses the Nazi salute in public, now that the gesture has become illegal.

    I worry that raising one’s hand for any purpose could be mistaken for a salute.

    really?

        You don’t think someone can question the enforcement of the law without supporting Nazis?

          I don’t think someone hailing a taxi is going to get cuffed unless the cops were after them anyway. Be happy that the neoliberal slime in charge of the state did something good for once instead of imagining that a conductor might be sent to jail in the middle of a symphony.

            Do you think the Labor government is neo liberal? I don’t know, the state government has done a lot of good things over the last few years.

              Yes, the center left neoliberals are still neoliberals
