In May 2020, vandals sprayed Nazi swastikas and homophobic graffiti on to the green at the Cranbourne Golf Club in Melbourne.
If the recommendations made by the cross-Parliamentary committee that inquired into the effectiveness of Victoria’s anti-vilification laws are implemented, such vandalism could invite tough penalties.
The Legal and Social Issues Committee tabled its inquiry report in the Victorian Parliament on Wednesday. The inquiry was set up after the Victorian government was unable to stop a new-Nazi music festival from going ahead in 2019.
