British man's Australian visa cancelled after being charged with displaying Nazi symbols
"The AFP alleged in a statement on 8 December that the man used social media platform X to display a Nazi symbol and espouse a pro-Nazi ideology with a specific hatred of the Jewish community, and to advocate for violence towards this community. In the statement, police alleged that during a search of a Caboolture home on 21 November, they found several weapons, including swords bearing swastika symbology, axes and knives."
"I said some time ago that as far as freedom of speech was concerned, I had no time for hatred when it came to cancelling visas. If you come to Australia on a visa, you are here as a guest, Burke told the ABC. Almost everyone on a visa is a good guest and a welcome guest in our country. But if someone comes here for the purposes of hate, they can leave. And that's what we're doing."
A 43-year-old United Kingdom citizen living in Queensland has been charged with three counts of allegedly displaying prohibited Nazi symbols and one count of using a carriage service to menace, harass or cause offence. Police allege he used social media platform X to display a Nazi symbol, espouse pro-Nazi ideology, express specific hatred of the Jewish community, and advocate violence towards that community between 10 October and 5 November 2025. During a search of his Caboolture home on 21 November, officers found several weapons, including swords bearing swastika symbology, axes and knives. His visa was cancelled and the government is seeking deportation.
