Moody made the right decision. While I haven’t read the legislation itself, I assume the purpose of it is to penalise (specific forms of) Nazi symbols for its threatening nature and to mitigate propagandising. This sign is obviously criticising the Nazi regime and making a negative comparison with the Zionist regime. The Nazi swastika symbol was clearly not being used to signal support of their offensive political ideology.
This abuse of the legislation in arresting Yazbek makes me wonder if it would outlaw some well-known antifascism symbols, like the swastika being tossed in a garbage bin or one behind a 🚫 . I wouldn’t surprised to see them come out in protest of the Nazi scum meeting in Rowville this Friday.
