Soldiers warned they have 'no place in our Army' if displaying white supremacy gestures

Defence Forces Command has written to senior personnel warning against white power hand gesturesOne soldier has been disciplined for"contravening Defence values" with a hand gesture

According to the Anti-Defamation League, the overwhelming purpose of the hand gesture is still to signify"OK" but is now also widely used by white supremacists. "To date, two soldiers in the last week have made a white supremacy symbol in photographs," the directive sent in March 2019 reveals. Despite the crackdown, the Defence Department has told the ABC to date"no Army member has been terminated as a result of displaying a white supremacy symbol in public".

…

Who cares. Lets not forgot that white lives matter. Be proud of being white. I am. After we invaded, whites built modern day Australia. We did some terrible things to the blackfellas, but we need to all move forward- not be ashamed of being white or black or whatever.

And loving it!!

I'd applaud you, ABC, for reporting on this idiocy if I didn't suspect you agree with the looney PC HR department of the ADF.

What a load of hot 🐓 Keep this up and we won't have an ADF

Do we count swastika flags draped on range rovers?

The problem is that it’s been used for the last 50 odd years to mean OK. How can you determine if a hand position is being used maliciously?

In an unrelated incident, pictures of KKK members scuba diving 🤿 off Cairns are going viral. We need to stop the bigots - just like Jordan Peele’s “Hunters”! 🚫⚡️

Now do police.

DeptDefence If not with the hand gesture, a white supremacist will do something else, perhaps covert to cause trouble to people of colour. What is the army going to do about that? I don't know what to do. Let me if you could think of a solution. I am originally from India. Thx.

Any ADF person so charged with such an offence can be very happy in the knowledge that for a prosecutor to obtain a conviction would be nigh impossible. The army et al are on very shaky ground.

Australians don't want their tax funded news source to be far left biased, BuzzFeed tier nonsense like this. Can we get clarity around who gives approval for fake news articles like this?

Well, this has brought out the usual apologists and down players, fake accounts and 'it's OK to be white' trolls. 😂

Does this mean scuba teams now need a different hand signal for 'OK'?

No worries

. It isn't a white supremecy gesture. Any halfwitted journalist could have worked that out. This is serioualy bad journalism. .

It's a 4chan prank you woke journalists!

Does anyone actually think it's about WP, and not the 4Chan prank?

I think most people do this to annoy the woke folks & it's all you deserve, enjoy the cake you baked.

It was a good clean kill. It’s a feral pig. Not a bad size, The feral pig was dead before the dogs got to it. The guy sensationalising the video values pest animals above human or other animal life.

Complaints about 'scruffy', 'wounded' wildlife in multiple Tasmanian zoos result in one permit breachTasmania's Environment Department received complaints about wildlife parks displaying wounded devils and joeys dressed in human clothes, but documents show only one complaint was considered a breach of the operator's permit. Simply horrifying. I'm surprised this is allowed to continue. Shut these internment camps down, prosecute the owners and move these poor animals to somewhere less horrendous.
