Default Wave of neo-Nazi material in Australian state prompts calls for stricter "hate crime" laws

Wave of neo-Nazi material in Australian state prompts calls for stricter "hate crime" laws

A Jewish leader in South Australia has called for stronger hate crime laws, after a series of pro-Nazi posters and stickers appearing in Adelaide, the state's capital city.

University campuses and an Adelaide synagogue have been subjected to a wave of anti-Sematic material which features images of swastikas, Nazi leader Adolf Hitler and derogatory depictions of Jewish people.

Chairman of the Jewish Community Council of South Australia Norman Schueler said on Tuesday that a sign outside a local synagogue was replaced with racist posters to mark the occasion of Hitler's birthday on April 20.

"A very strong concern is that our laws regarding incitement to violence... are not adequate to prosecute. We may have laws on the statute books but they don't seem to be strong enough," Schueler told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) on Tuesday morning.
