Former Neighbours actor Damien Richardson, 56, was found guilty of making a gesture resembling a Nazi salute during a speech at a closed Melbourne restaurant in September 2024. 法院裁定,领有许可证的房舍是公共场所,尽管是私人场所,录像证据显示了这种姿态,这类似于纳粹的敬礼。 The court ruled the licensed premises was a public place despite being private, and video evidence showed the gesture, which resembled a Nazi salute. 法官Justin Foster承认,该行为很可能被误认为一种行为,但认为Richardson不赞同纳粹主义,因为他批评媒体的描绘,嘲弄人们的观念,强调他祖父为纳粹服务,谴责反犹太主义。 Magistrate Justin Foster acknowledged the act was likely to be mistaken for one but concluded Richardson did not endorse Nazism, citing his criticism of media portrayals, mockery of the perception, emphasis on his grandfather’s service against Nazis, and condemnation of anti-Semitism. 判决并不认为支持纳粹意识形态的意图。 The verdict does not find intent to support Nazi ideology. 判决前听证会定于12月4日举行。 A pre-sentence hearing is set for December 4.
