Residents in the north-west Victorian town of Beulah spark outrage and calls for changes to the law by flying a Nazi flag over their home.

Resident Leanne Shanks called the flag a"disgrace" and said it was an insult to both Jewish people and Australian war veterans."It's not right, it's disgusting."

A Beulah resident with Jewish ancestry, who did not want to be named, said she was angry about the flag being flown and would complain to police."I've never come across this and need to think about how I deal with it now. Do I confront them?"A parliamentary inquiry is reviewing Victoria's anti-vilification laws after Reason Party MP Fiona Patten proposed amendments to extend the Racial and Religious Tolerance Act.

"Anyone who loves this country and believes in the core values that binds us together, of respect and freedoms, would be horrified." Mr Andrews said the Government had met with Jewish groups and would make a submission to the inquiry focused on a"It is completely unacceptable for anyone to be flying what is perhaps the ultimate symbol of hate and that is that flag. It is just disgusting behaviour. Nothing justifies that behaviour whatsoever."

He said he hoped the inquiry would give the Government a path forward to deal with any"gaps" in the law.

THIS SHOULD BE AGAINST THE LAW!

also here in Australia; Customs House and Dymocks Sydney....whoops....a problem if you ban public display...

don't forget the swastika is a religious symbol to some people, like the Buddhists...Hitler found it in a book, thought it was cool and used it...it's nothing more

wasn't illegal so why were police involved?

I remember one my first jobs was in a Nazi memorabilia shop. The boss said to me on my first day, 'Remember, the customer is always extremely right.'

Fuhrer Andrews house

Obviously a greens voter who decided to return to their original party

Hey! You finally got one right this time 😆👍

Don't worry ABC, you'll forget about this next week when Australia Day comes and there's Australian Flags everywhere There'll be another chance for you to be outraged.

Quiet happy for it to be there that way I know exactly the TYPE of people living there!!! And what they represent.... wonder if Dutton could deport them? Mmmm or

This is where extreme right wing nationalist anti immigration rhetoric leads

A whole lot of Nazi apologists in these comments

What about Communist Flags such as the Soviet Flag which has a similar history as the Nazi Flag?

Finally at long last the has found “A Nazi”

Might be an Australian Trump supporter

Not my cup of tea but each to their own

Name and shame (photos the lot)

Just as offensive as the Chinese flag flying over the Box Hill police station.

So a couple raising a nazi flag gets universal media condemnation, condemnation from premier himself, and reexamination of laws, while raising the flag of a communist dictatorship above a police station that killed tens of millions and STILL exists today gets a 'meh'?

Communist hammer and sickle always in display during left rallies but thats ignored?

FatherBob Jojo Rabbit fan?

This is clearly appalling However, communist flags should be treated similarly

If one was to be found, it was always going to be in a Victoria. The land of the progressive left where hate, violence and racism are a way of life thanks to Andrews.

Yet it's not anti-Semetic but specifically anti democratic.

QanonComAu Shot: Nazi flag flies over Victorian house; glorifying some of the worst mass murder in history. Chaser: Chinese Communist flag flies over Victorian government building; glorifying some of the worst mass murder in history.

FatherBob Jojo Rabbit is an New Zealand film! Honestly, Oscar season does this to Australians. russelcrowe

Nobody does selective outrage quite like the dropkick loonies at 'your ABC'

All the ISIS flags being paraded around this country and... Not a peep out of FakeNews VERY selective outrage...

Freedom of speech/expression... nobody has to like it.

Funny, you know I have never heard any outrage expressed when we have seen flags of terrorist organisations paraded down our city streets. I guess the ABC is selective when it comes to what evil disgusts them them and what doesn't.

Totally unAustralian

No one would care if it was the hammer and sickle and they killed their own people

You have every right to verbally criticise this. But the instant you force it to be taken down, you become it.

Absolutely disgusting.

Fair enough...Wouldn't be surprised though if it was over Dutton's house

If this happened in Germany, those couple would be fined and tossed in jail, for displaying Facism/Nazism... Not even the Germans want Nazis in their, country, they're not welcomed, Germany would be like: GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE!!! and a slap on the wrist, no exceptions*

Nazis are despicable. Banning something is not the answer. It's their freedom of expression. Offence is taken not given. Some religious bigot will find the rainbow flag offensive. Identify the Nazis and just don't give them the time of day.

Well done ABC,now did we not see the Communist Flag flying over a police station in Victoria I mean ,the ABC would be aware that Maoist China has killed far more of its own citizens than Hitler's Nazi Germany. Or is your racism showing ABC and the Chinese poor don't count ?

DanielAndrewsMP Aust_Parliament How many Yorta Yorta people feel insulted by the Aussie flag?

no sh$$%%t

I wonder who they vote for. 🤔

Get that woman a dna test and sew it to the flag before she is made to eat it

Meanwhile, Leftards were silent when Victorian Police flew the Communist flag of China, who were responsible for killing 40 million people.

aaaand you show the flag.

The German flag as opposed to the Nazi flag is no comparison. The Nazi flag must never ever be recognised along with the demonic Isis flag. These people need to be monitored immediately! 👊

This flag was used by Field Marshal Werner von Blomberg from 1935 until his dismissal from office in 1938.

I am disgusted at the homosexual pride flag which is a perversion of the rainbow God created in response to His wrath against all evil. The pride flag represents a hatred of all things Holy but I do not seek to stop people from foolishly flying it. Instead, I hope they'd wake up.

It just shows to the world how some Australians intelligence is inadequately limited & how racist the country lets itself to still be.

odessa? have we all watched the devil next door on netflix?

Lol this house is just down the road from the police station.

You're doing exactly what they want, to draw attention to it.

Liberal Party Headquarters

Don’t give them the attention.

Has anyone got a spare Lancaster? Asking for some friends.

ABC is disgusting .. letting EpsteinDidntKillHimself keep molesting children all those years you knew & hid the Facts from public ...

This is where we see who really supports freedom of speech.

Yeah just as bad as the Hammer and Sickle you never notice

Are you sure it’s in Victoria ? Surely it’s in Canberra ?

Interesting. Notwithstanding what it represents and the way some folk must feel, one does not hear similar condemnation when the IJN are in town flying their rising sun flag. Let's maintain freedom of expression and not what may be PC.

Just ignore it, you're only giving them oxygen. Unless your purpose is to give them oxygen ....

FatherBob Yes it is disgusting..on the other hand we have free speech and no laws to stop them

It can't be seen through the smoke...

Flying that flag in this country is moral betrayal. I can not condemn it enough.

FatherBob They should be told that Mossad operatives are everywhere & highly resourced . They may suffer a very well orchestrated “misadventure.” Good we know exactly where they live .... I look forward to all white supremist self identifying so clearly for us.

Needs to be banned.

Deport them to Sweden

The Chinese flag flew over a Victorian police station not long ago .

Just ignore the bogans a flag can't hurt you at least you now know where the skumbag live

Wow. This tweet was posted nearly three whole minutes ago, and the troll brigade hasn't come out to defend the nazis, yet. I'm not sure if I'm impressed, or disappointed. What lazy trolls, the ABC attracts.

Couple flies Nazi flag over Victorian homeA Victorian couple is flying a flag featuring a swastika over their home, reigniting calls to ban people publicly displaying the symbol. The Anti-Defamation Commission chairman says the flag is a 'stomach-turning outrage that is a stain on our community'. I actually thought it was against the law, to fly that flag and do the salute The family blurred it out so it is fine So if another family wants to fly the ISIS flag that would be alright as well. Unbelievable.
