An Australian Senate committee has recommended a federal ban on Nazi symbols, the Australian Jewish News reported.

The panel called on the Australian government to immediately introduce a bill banning Nazi symbols “as a matter of urgency.”

However, the Legal and Constitutional Affairs Legislation Committee rejected a bill put forward by the coalition government in Mach, describing how it was concerned by “a number of elements” in it but adding that it “wholeheartedly” supported the intent of the legislation.

“Evidence received by the committee raised a number of questions and concerns related to the scope and enforceability of the bill, particularly with regard to the bill’s lack of definition around what would constitute a Nazi symbol,” the committee said in a statement at the time.

On Friday, opposition Leader Peter Dutton of the Liberal Party called on the government to implement the committee’s recommendation.
