Wow, that’s significant….
Should be more years but always good to see it happen.
Good, these scumbags are a disgrace to the memories of all Australian WW2 veterans

Looks like it might be more the breach of bail and all the nazi shit he had.
Cool.
Righteo so we really are becoming Britain.
ok, that genuinely seems excessive. unless the guy was deemed a genuine extremist threat, 3 years for offensive speech honestly feels too much. you can get less for killing someone
Not a fan of literal prison time for being a dickhead. Seems like a gross overreach by a state. I don’t imagine putting a nazi (or wannabe nazi) in a prison with other, potentially more extreme dangers, is going to make them better people, either.
Over reach, 1984 George Orwell, just a smidge closer
I’m fine with that
Good
🎉 yay.
Three years? That more that what people get for rape, aggravated house invasion, fire bombing shops. I’m saying I support what he did, but something doesn’t add up.
But the guy who put up razor wire traps for cyclists walks free…
Hasn’t been a good few months for Aussie nazis. Several deportations, A number of suicides, one permanent disability from another attempt, and now they are starting to get locked up. Sounds like the powers that be have finally had enough and are taking a hard line from now on.
When pedophiles are getting less than this I have issues. Sure he’s a flog but worse things get far less.
3 years is a more than a lot of violent crimes like rape, sexual assault, armed robbery have received in recent years.
Did he do the wrong thing, yes, is it worse than those crimes?
Arguably not, and the criminalisation of political speech and action is a double edge sword that we should be pretty reticent to use.
Good now go arrest the rest of them
I mean he was a full nazi. If you read the article he was keeping nazi paraphernalia on top of all the other Nazi crap he was doing
The headline is misleading.
Bad form OP
Good.
