An Australian nurse and influencer with 1.2 million TikTok followers has apologised to veterans after posting a video performing what many interpreted as a Nazi salute.

In the clip, New South Wales (NSW) mother Aimee Connor shows herself getting ready for a nursing shift. She pulls her hand up to her forehead in an army salute, before moving her arm straight out and up and holding it in place.
