Australia to deport British man charged with displaying Nazi symbols

UK: A British national in Australia has had his visa cancelled and faces deportation for allegedly displaying Nazi symbols.

The 43-year-old man living in Queensland was arrested and charged earlier this month, after allegedly using a social media account to post the Nazi swastika, promote pro-Nazi ideology and call for violence towards the Jewish community.

The man was taken into immigration detention this week in Brisbane and is due to face court in January. Police have been cracking down on the use of prohibited symbols amid a recent rise in antisemitism and right-wing extremism.

Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke said: “He came here to hate – he doesn’t get to stay.”
