In short:

Police have seized five posters depicting world leaders in Nazi-like uniforms from the window of a Canberra bar.

The bar was declared a crime scene and was forced to close, while the artist says the works are "clearly satirical".

What's next?

The bar owner says the images are "demonstrably anti-fascist" and that he has no regrets about displaying them.

If I ever go to Canberra again, I'm making a note to visit that bar. Thanks for the advertisement.
