Prime Minister Chris Luxon says the Government is open to discussing whether to ban language and symbols related to the Nazis.
It comes after individuals involved in a Mongrel Mob tangi procession in Lower Hutt on Tuesday openly used the term ‘sieg heil’, commonly known as a Nazi chant meaning ‘hail victory’.
Sociologist Paul Spoonley isn't sure a full ban would be enforceable.
"I think banning doesn't address underlying problems - and I would say the same about swastikas and Nazi salutes as I would about the gang patches."
