it is a criminal offence to knowingly display a Nazi symbol (such as a swastika or the Nazi salute) in public without reasonable excuse; people can be fined or jailed for up to 12 months, and penalties increase to up to 2 years if this occurs on or near a Jewish place, such as a synagogue, Jewish school or the Sydney Jewish Museum

it is an offence to engage in conduct publicly indicating support for Nazi ideology using Nazi imagery in a way that would cause a reasonable person to fear harassment, intimidation, or violence; people can be fined or jailed for up to 12 months, and this penalty increases to up to 2 years if the behavior happens on or near a Jewish place

police can direct a person they reasonably suspect of displaying a Nazi symbol to stop doing so, and failure to comply without a good reason is an offence punishable by a fine, jail for up to 3 months, or both

the swastika used in a Buddhist, Hindu or Jain context is explicitly excluded from the offence -- academic, artistic, educational and public interest purposes are also defences

the previous sunset clause that would have automatically repealed the Nazi symbol offences is removed, making the offences permanent law

being part of an authorised public assembly does not protect a person from prosecution for other offences committed during that assembly, including the Nazi symbol offences

Corporations that display Nazi symbols or support Nazi ideology can be fined up to 500 penalty units (2026: $55,000), or up to 1,000 penalty units (2026: $110,000) if the act happens on or near a Jewish place

The law now permanently keeps the rules against publicly inciting hatred based on race
