INSANE: Qld to join vic with nazi hate symbol ban - The Real Truth

Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszcuk will make her state the second to ban Nazi and other hate symbols to ensure extremists are "called out, confronted and condemned"

She will introduce a bill on Thursday that criminalises the intentional display of symbols to promote hatred or cause fear, such as the swastika, which is also known as the Hakenkreuz.

It's understood there will be exceptions for Hindus, Buddhists and Jains for whom swastikas are religious symbols.
