Ex-NSW premier's facist uniform scandal cited to defend alleged Nazi salute

Daniel Muston, 40, Ryan Peter Marshall, 30, and Anthony Raymond Mitchell, 31, were charged after allegedly performing the salute near the museum in Darlinghurst on October 13.

Muston's lawyer, Bryan Wrench, told Sydney's Downing Centre Local Court that Premier Chris Minns had forgiven his predecessor for wearing a Nazi uniform to a party as a young man but was now pursuing an "authoritative use of power" against his client.The solicitor added the men had no links to Nazi groups or history of sympathising with the fascist ideology and had no related paraphernalia on them at the time of the alleged offending.

The arrest came amid community tension over the escalating conflict in Gaza, including multiple examples of alleged anti-Semitic rhetoric and behaviour.
