A neon swastika hanging outside a residential property in the Northern Territory has been removed after police intervened. The hate symbol's display has led the head of the Anti-defamation Commission to claim the nation is facing an 'epidemic of antisemitism'. A Darwin Council spokeswoman told the Northern Territory News requesting the sign's removal was out of their jurisdiction. Likewise, a lack of anti-vilification laws in the Northern Territory mean state authorities also lacked the power to enforce its removal. A spokesperson for Northern Territory police told the Daily Mail Australia the symbol has now been removed.
