A British man in Australia may be sent home soon. The Australian government cancelled his visa. This happened because of serious claims. He allegedly showed Nazi symbols. He also shared extremist ideas online.
The 43-year-old man was arrested this month. Police say he spread Nazi messages. He also encouraged hate towards Jewish people online. He is now in detention in Brisbane.
This action is part of a larger effort. Australia is fighting hate speech and extremism. Antisemitic incidents have increased recently. This is a big worry for the government.
Minister Tony Burke said Australia has no tolerance for hate. He stated, "He came here to hate – he doesn't get to stay." He also said people who spread hate are not welcome. Visa holders are guests. They must respect Australian values.
The man's court case will continue in January. Police are looking into delaying his deportation. This is so he can attend court. Australia made its hate crime laws stronger this year. Now, showing hate symbols or doing Nazi salutes can lead to prison.
This case shows Australia’s strong stand. Last month, the same minister cancelled another visa. This was for a man connected to neo-Nazi groups. Australia is working to protect its society from bad ideas. The UK government has been contacted. The man can appeal the decision or leave Australia.
