MEDIA - NAZI FLAG HAS NO PLACE IN OUR MODERN SOCIETY.
“Liberal MP James Newbury, who is the deputy chair of the legal and social issues committee, condemned the flying of the flag and said he believed it had "no place" in society. "The Nazi swastika represents racial supremacy and is in reality a symbol of mass genocide. The Victorian Parliament is currently reviewing our state’s anti-vilification laws. My view is that the flag incites hatred and has no place in our modern society," he said.”
Couple flies Nazi flag over Victorian home
A Victorian couple is flying a flag featuring a swastika over their home in a small town, reigniting calls to ban people publicly displaying the symbol.I can't believe they are allowed to fly this revolting flag.
Year it down
Fly the German flag
Doesn’t this woman, so proud of her German heritage, know that Germans in Australia were also placed in camps away from society, so if she wants to associate with this evil flag, perhaps we could find a place to put her!?? The Germans heritage prior to Hitler, had much to celebrate and Germans since have moved on to close this chapter of insanity which was a cancer on upon the world. I think they should outlaw this, as it is beyond punk mentality. Keep our flags safe and friendly in line with Australian values or deport her!!!!!
Demonstrate outside her house and embarrass that antisemite. Not in Australia😡😡🤮
So why doesn’t Vic pol act Remember the communist Chinese flag on box hill town hall Also no action
Distasteful, but also part of a free society. Hopefully public opinion persuades them to remove it from public view. Banning symbols is a potentially dangerous pathway to follow. Again, absolutely distasteful, but legislated censorship is a greater danger and was also a characteristic of that regime.
flying that flag should be a crime, also agree with Alan Schwarz comment
Unbelievable!
Thanks for standing up against this James. You are correct in saying this flag has no place in our society. The Andrews Government needs to be doing more to stop this from happening.
I’m glad my father who saw Nazism in Poland, is not alive to see a Nazi flag in Victoria.
What a shocker - but James it doesn’t represent racial supremacy it just represents racial evil.
Agreed I dislike the flag and anyone who would use such an abhorrent symbol. Where do you draw the line in a free society on what people can do in their own yard?? Society should judge this person not the law or any rules preventing them from flying any flag.
Pffft. More hypocritical FB fauxrage. Don't see the libs planning to ban the Chinese flag for what they are doing to Uighurs and Kazakhs.

SCOUTS FROM AROUND THE 🌏 IN BRIGHTON.
Scouts from around the world are currently in Brighton, after being evacuated from a planned trip to Canberra because of the fires. On Wednesday night, the 1st/14th Brighton Sea Scouts hosted a group from Canada, Japan, New Zealand, Scotland and the United Kingdom, for dinner. The group has been having a terrific time in Melbourne, despite the changed arrangements. The Scots told me that next time they visit, they want me to try out a kilt!
I would certainly hope you proceed with their suggestion😀
Brilliant

James - it seems to me that there is a truck load of plastic bottled water being sent by groups to the fire areas. I believe the State should be shipping truck loads of water to rescue centres etc.. The State has money, but are they creating a pollution nightmare with all these plastic bottles. Can you please investigate. Thank you.

BUSHFIRE EVACUATIONS.
What joy for my family to see footage of my baby brother George stepping off the ship ❤️ - he, his wife (and 🐶) were trapped in Mallacoota during the fires.
So many Australians have lost everything to these devastating fires. There aren’t enough words to thank our emergency services workers and volunteers. And please say a prayer for the safety of all those still in harm’s way.
Nine News Melbourne on Twitter
“There have been emotional scenes, as the first evacuees from Mallacoota were reunited with family members in Melbourne today. @EmilyGayton #9News t.co/i3AgR0QynJ”
I’m so glad for you and your family James as you said we now have to pray for everybody else is still in danger
James .... what a relief . I was wondering if they were there . Xx
James, how do we stop foreign aid while we are in crisis? Not a dollar should be going overseas! How could Australia give 349mil in one year to Indonesia alone when we need that $ here?????

The Central, North East and Gippsland regions continue to be affected by smoke, as are other parts of the state including Melbourne. Everyone should minimise time spent in smoky conditions where practical. Emergency info here: ow.ly/R1Ax50xM6jk

WHERE DOES OUR GREEN WASTE GO?
Bayside Council is now collecting our food and green waste. In the first three months of the service, landfill volumes have decreased by the equivalent of 42,900 household rubbish bins. But where does our green waste go? I recently visited Sacyr’s environmental organics facility where our waste is delivered, treated, and can produce up to 50,000 tonnes of quality compost each year.
I always thought that compost should be shipped to dry areas to help grow. Great initiative.
Wonderful news
What do they do with the end product ?
James Newbury is Bayside Council charging a levy to collect green waste?
We start doing this 1 July 2020 👏👏👏👏
