One Nation MP Sarah Game backs push for ban on public display of swastika in South Australia
South Australia's first One Nation MP has backed moves to outlaw the public display of the swastika, including in tattoos.
The SA government has already begun investigating ways to ban the "Nazi hate symbol", but Sarah Game has said she intends to introduce her own bill to parliament to prohibit depictions in all but very limited circumstances.
While the swastika is notorious as the symbol of the Nazis, it also has entirely peaceful meanings in some world religions, and Ms Game said her bill would — like a proposal from Attorney-General Kyam Maher — allow exemptions for "genuine" religious and artistic purposes.
She said her bill was heavily based on laws already operating interstate, with only minor amendments.
