There are no specific Australian laws that directly ban the display of Confederate battle items, but thier display could be problematic in certain contexts. It is considered a symbol of hate speech and may be removed or prohibited in government-funded workplaces or by institutions that do not want to be associated with it. Its display could also lead to issues in public, such as being asked to remove it by private business owners who consider it offensive.
While we do not condone hate speech in any way, we acknowledge that there are other uses and meanings for this item.
