Australia: Labor appoints an antisemitism envoy

Post by Laan Yaa Mo » July 9, 2024, 2:50 pm

Bridget McKenzie, an Australian Senator just appeared on Australia B.C. She gave a compelling speech on the rise of antisemitism in Australia, and the ineffective approach of the Prime Minister in doing anything about the problem. I don't have the link to her answers from ABC, but it seems she gave a similar talk to Sky News. I am getting to like Australian politicians of all stripes. They seem well-spoken and in touch with issues.

At about the same time, the Australian government has appointed an envoy to look into the antisemitism problem in Australia:
Jillian Segal will serve a three-year term and report directly to Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese. Australia has appointed a special envoy to combat anti-Semitism amid concerns that the war in Gaza is fuelling community tensions.

We make our world significant by the courage of our questions and by the depths of our answers.

If they're not careful, they'll be appointing a Minister for Levelling Up soon.

Or how about a Minister for Green Skills, Circular Economy and Biodiversity or the Minister for Zero Carbon Buildings?

Pauline Hansen has entered the thread. :shock:

BTW - did you manage to jag a ticket for the Tucker Carlson circus?
