I sometimes think we don’t do enough to stop things from happening.

They can ban it all they want but people keep doing it and I assume because there’s not much of a penalty and lack of consequences associated with it.

I would like to see more severe punishments for doing it or displaying things like that.

It was an absolutely horrible era in history and see them backing those atrocities is awful.

I think the ban is good as it can lead to criminal charges and punishments. Might prevent some from doing it, which is already a win.

Generally I don't condone violence, but punching a Nazi is never a bad thing

I haven’t been kept up to date with things but I there are some white supremacy groups and nazi groups in Victoria that I was made aware of and I wouldn’t mind seeing them behind bars myself to be honest.

Group like that shouldn’t really exist.

I’m all for preserving history and records but not as a living embodiment with groups like that.
