A Sydney man has been sentenced to 3 years jail for performing a Nazi salute and making a series of offensive online posts.
The AFP’s National Security Investigations team began an investigation into an offensive online post directed towards an Australian high office holder.
NSI investigators then executed a search warrant at a Beacon Hill home and seized Nazi paraphernalia, including a uniform, hat and far right wing literature, as well as mobile phones, a laptop and computer.
The man pled guilty to:
- 1 count of performing a Nazi salute
- 1 count of contravening a requirement in a section 3LA order
- 6 counts of using a carriage service to menace, harass or offend
