Why did this even go to trial?

Wagga Wagga man charged with displaying Nazi symbols over shopfront poster

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-07-11/wagga-wagga-man-charged-with-displaying-nazi-symbols/105520548

A man has been charged under recently introduced laws banning the display of Nazi symbols over a shopfront poster depicting Coalition politicians and Australian billionaires as German World War II soldiers.

The display, a series of posters depicting then-opposition leader Peter Dutton, former deputy prime minister Michael McCormack, and miners Gina Rinehart and Clive Palmer dressed as Nazis, appeared in a Wagga Wagga shop window during the March federal Election campaign.

On March 31, police were alerted to the business storefront display on the city's main street.

At the time, police told the ABC that it had sought legal advice, and it was determined the display did not break the Australian Criminal Code.

On Tuesday July 8 "following further inquiries", police charged the 69-year-old with knowingly displaying Nazi symbols without an excuse.

NSW hate crime laws were passed in February this year in response to an increase in hate speech and a string of anti-Semitic incidents in the state.

The shop owner was served a court attendance notice to appear on August 20.

McCormack slams posters of himself, Dutton, Rinehart and Palmer in Nazi uniforms

Former Deputy Prime Minister Michael McCormack has slammed a display in a storefront window in southern New South Wales that depicts Coalition politicians and billionaires as Nazis.

The series of posters portrays Mr McCormack, Opposition Leader Peter Dutton, and business leaders Gina Rinehart and Clive Palmer in German World War II army uniforms.

The posters are on display in a storefront on Wagga Wagga's main street.

Mr McCormack, the Member for Riverina, which includes Wagga Wagga, slammed the display.

Mr McCormack said on social media he was pictured alongside the Opposition leader and "mining magnates" in "World War II-era German uniform … Iron Cross medals and Nazi eagle emblems have also been added".

He said he had alerted Mr Dutton's office about the display.

"He's not going to get bogged down with some vile window in a country main street that shouldn't have happened in the first place," he said.

A pixelated version of Mr McCormack's poster has since replaced the initial image of him.

Good point, but then who would expect politicians to know anything about the Finns in WW II?

The Mind Boggled at 'NSW Second State' - how many separate and (gasps) sovereign 'states' is it now?

The New State of Northunter ... stretching from the Hunter River and a parallel from its source to the borders with Queenslund and south australia - as the first stop in splitting up the over-fat and controlled by central city government (Capital City in Hunger Games) state of NSW - now long outdated with modern travel and technology and population growth - into more manageable regional states with more interest in their own real issues and not those of city Slickers and Grifters.

I'll map that First Step up for yez..

I envisage cutting 'er off at the pass from Newcastle - maybe initially straight line across - making two states... then steadily dividing off all the other bits.. Faroutahere already has a cold water port way down at the Murray - if they can keep the Abos from taking all the land .... ... in the rain these days maybe Northunderwanterland for the North Coast Capital city Lismore Springs or something..... New England stands alone... the Independent Duchy of Nimbin is - of course - the high country.... Riverina State is good... Orange region? Ummm... Orangatania? Blue Mountains - Transhillvania...

Those Regions pretty much split themselves into New States there... near a dozen - break the stranglehold of the Big Smoke choking the life out of NSW with its over-centralised government filled with all the rabble of planet Earth who know not the Australian Way... resurrecting full gun ownership rights for the New States could serve to limit the expansion of crime............maybe trim a few rabble rousers....

Always wondered about a name for a dental clinic - Mass o' chew sets .... them early American Indians had the BEST names for places... maybe for the Elephant's Graveyard of the Far North Coast... Massochewsets ...bite yer leg off wif me choppers!!

Easy to see all the new states - not just the 'second state' ...

NSW,
Newcastle, Sydney and Wollongong.

Yup - there it is - right in the middle - a Homeland for all the latte` sipping everyone but you luvvahs social science steeped educated fools who think they know how to devise policy - go then - devise policy for your new small state that takes in everyone who agrees with you.. NSW - Newcastle City, Sydney and Wollongong - and well may they rot.

Southronaria might want to cut out Goulburn and Wollongong.... keep the good bits and where it can keep a close eye on the politician's Homeland with all its trendy ideas and other madness....

We don't mind keeping Newcastle hinterland.. cut it off at the cemetery...
