Western Australia police say they’re investigating the incident, in which the wall outside a home in the neighborhood of Dalkeith was daubed with the Nazi symbol and the words “Fuck Jews.”
Western Australia police say in a statement: “There is no place for this kind of behaviour in our community and we will not tolerate crimes that undermine our way of life in Western Australia.”
Western Australia Premier Roger Cook reacts by stressing the need to “stop this right-wing, white supremacist language where it starts in social media. We want to stop everyone from actually following these insidious, cowardly, nasty people, and it’s up for all of us to do our bit to condemn it.”
