Driver Proudly Displays Nazi Sticker On Their Car In Victoria

Campaigners are shocked after a person was seen driving a car through Victoria with a Nazi swastika sticker attached to the window.

A person was waiting in their vehicle at a McDonald's drive-thru in Bendigo, west of Melbourne, over the weekend.

They noticed the unmistakable symbol of Germany's Third Reich, which was placed next to a sticker of a red skull and what appears to be one or two other stickers.

They snapped a picture of the offending vehicle and sent it to authorities.

The Anti-Defamation Commission has been shocked to se such a brazen display of support for Nazism and white supremacy.

Commission chairman Dr Dvir Abramovich questioned: "What is going on in Victoria?

"What does it say that in 2021, individuals with pure hatred in their heart, feel emboldened to proudly display a symbol that represents the pure evil that led to the death squads, gas chambers and the extermination of six million Jews and millions of others?

"This is not about freedom expression, and we all have a responsibility to speak up when such hateful acts take place.

"The time for talking is over."

Victoria has seen several instances of people displaying a swastika or Nazi symbol in recent months, with each case more shocking than the last.

People have been seen returning from the footy or going out shopping with a swastika emblazoned on their clothing without a care in the world.

Dr Abramovich is begging the Victorian government to adopt the recommendations from a recent report that urged authorities to introduce a ban on public displays of hate symbols.

Victorian Parliament's Legal and Social Issues Committee decided it's time to change the state's racial vilification laws and ensure Nazi symbols and insignia from Germany's Third Reich be hidden from public view.

"The committee believes it is important to send a clear message to the community that Nazi symbolism is not acceptable in any form and has wide-ranging, negative societal impacts," the inquiry's report read.

"It recommends that the Victorian government establish a criminal offence that prohibits the display of symbols of Nazi ideology, including the Nazi swastika, with considered exceptions to the law.

"This would allow Victoria Police to immediately remove Nazi symbols that are on deliberate display to vilify targeted communities."

Premier Daniel Andrews has previously said he's committed to outlawing symbols like the Nazi swastika.
