The law just rushed though and passed by the Victorian Parliament in #Australia prohibits anything resembling a symbol or gesture used by the National Socialist German Workers Party.

However any person or group may use the #Swastika or Roman salute so long as they’re doing it in political opposition to National Socialism.

So in regards to activism, Marxists & antifascists are freely permitted to use these symbols & gestures as satire or for any other opposition reason, but if anybody else uses them even as a joke, they’ll be breaking the law.

You may even be guilty of an offence if you’re seen to be extending your arm outward and it’s found beyond reasonable doubt that somebody may have mistaken your gesture as a Roman salute.
