Australia's High Court Hears Appeal Against Neo-Nazi Party Ban
Australia's High Court is hearing an appeal against the federal government's ban on the neo-Nazi group White Australia. Lawyers for the group argued that the ban is unconstitutional and that the Commonwealth lacks the power to prohibit a political party, citing a 1951 High Court ruling concerning the Communist Party. The group is currently prohibited under new hate speech laws. The proceedings took place in a packed courtroom.
