Earlier this week, ACT Policing received a complaint regarding possible hate imagery displayed at a licenced premises in the City.
Yesterday afternoon (Wednesday, 18 February 2026) officers attended the premises and had a discussion with the owner, with officers seeking to remove the posters as part of their investigation into the matter. The owner declined this request and so a crime scene was established.
Five posters were subsequently seized and will be considered under recently enacted Commonwealth legislation regarding hate symbols.
Enquiries in relation to the posters are continuing, including seeking legal advice on their legality.
ACT Policing remains committed to ensuring that alleged antisemitic, racist and hate incidents are addressed promptly and thoroughly and when possible criminality is identified, ACT Policing will not hesitate to take appropriate action.
