i saw a big fat swaztika show up some time around the voice to parliament was announced on a fence next to hungry jacks, i assumed it wasn't coincidental
I doubt it will be the last time you see it, too.... people's sub-conscious tells them something is not right, so they reach for THE symbol of wrongness to express their discontent. It matters not - as I've explained so many times now - if a 'government' is either Fascist of Stalinist or even Extreme Communist - they all end up exactly the same - with a single figurehead surrounded by his lackeys who wield all power in the state and do so willingly without thought or remorse what for happens to the people.
Even here 30-40 years ago you saw elements of that in 'industrial relations'?
(What are industrial relations? The boss getting his family and mates in to bash you into line - a very 'right wing' concept now used by the likes of Thomas Mayo the 'communist' who has just come down from a yearly jaunt around Australia at your cost to push the voice).
The big and real problem is that real socialism, as once embodied in a mix of Menzies and then Labour - is viewed as part of either extreme, and is not properly considered in terms of actually producing the greatest good for the greatest number. Grasping peasantry from Europe/Asia showed us how wrong we've been for so long while they took us to the cleaners.
Worst thing our politicians ever did to us was start to bring in inimical groups and then promote them with AA and such and coddling treatment.
Remember the likes of Al Grasby? Spiv moustache, spiv jacket, spiv shoes, spiv hair etc...could've been mistaken for this guy from Dad's Army:-
