Is the sign of horns offensive in Australia?

I presume you’re referring to the sign of the horns, in which case, no, that would not be considered offensive in Australia. It’s not really used or understood either: in seven years of living here, I’ve never seen anybody make the sign, unless they were also holding it above their head, sticking their tongue out and moshing their head to actual or figurative heavy metal music.

The only exception could be among people of Italian or Greek descent, who might recognise the offensive meaning, but the vast majority of these groups are second or third generation by now and thoroughly Australianised.
