New South Wales (NSW) is considering whether to change the law to make the Nazi salute explicitly illegal after around 50 people attended a white supremacist rally, which featured a neo-Nazi banner, in the small Murray River town of Corowa on Saturday.

It is a criminal offence to knowingly display a Nazi symbol in public without a reasonable excuse, but the state does not explicitly ban the salute.
