Will banning Nazi symbols work?

The Victorian government is moving to ban the Nazi salute after neo-Nazis made the gesture on the steps of parliament. The issue has also spilled into federal parliament: Attorney General Mark Dreyfus tried to make a point the LNP had not called out the behaviour, but opposition leader Peter Dutton called his bluff saying he would support a federal ban of Nazi symbolism.

In this episode, we find out what the state of play is across the country when it comes to Nazi symbolism, and if banning Nazi symbolism could make a difference.

Headlines:

- Liberals to be tested in Victoria
- Latham condemned for homophobic remarks
- Palmer launching $300m lawsuit
- Voice to Parliament Bill introduced
- Climate safeguard bill passes
