Carve a swastika into his forehead and we'll call it even.
The article says he was convicted to 125h of community services. It just wasn't put on his record. Or am I reading it wrong?
Yep. He basically argued that being famous as a Nazi was already making it impossible to find work, and a mark on his record would just make it worse. And then mentioned the second kid on the way to sell the sob story.

That's not a sob story; that's probable cause for a CPS investigation.
I feel they really ought to check his computer
ding ding ding ding
Maybe he should have thought about that before being a Nazi?
Agreed, but he is a Nazi, so thinking isn't really a strong suit...
oh won't someone please think of the nazi's babies ffs
After considering the case, Ms Stuthridge decided not to record a conviction.
That's the way I'm reading it.
Doesn't work that way at all in my US state. Every conviction is recorded and you can apply to have your record expunged or receive a “certificate of employability” five years after your conviction.
Well, this happened in Melbourne. I don't know how it works there. But it probably doesn't work the same as in your US state
It definitely does not! I think that's why people might be confused, thinking they missed something.
It seems like some parts of Australia have something called a "no conviction". Never seen that before.
That was a previous conviction. This dude has a record of doing this shit.
I guess you could say that the judge lacked conviction.
Alt-history is lame. Like it would ve lame to be yelling about germ theory, or how steam is superior than gasoline.
Alt-history is lame, and these WW2 revisionists are in that same category.
