Notice of Motion - Display of Nazi Flag

MR SOUTHWICK — To move, That this House — (a) condemns Mr Robert Boot, a flag maker and resident of Carrum, for seeking to profit from the flag of the Nazi regime and Hitler’s SS by displaying it prominently at his business premises on the Nepean Highway and for his utter contempt for the pain this would cause; (b) calls on all Victorians to vote with their feet by not purchasing products from a business with such blatant disregard for the enormous community of Holocaust survivors living in this state; (c) congratulates the Member for Carrum for working with the City of Kingston to apply pressure to have this flag removed; and (d) calls on the council to review its bylaws to ensure that this sort of offensive material cannot be displayed again.
