I still insist antisemitism is not a problem in Australia. Many, incl me, protest against the slaughter of Palestinians but that is NOT antisemitism. That is humanity.

We have the right to be critical of a "country" that is committing Genocide! We have the right to protest! We also have the right to be safe! 0.05% of the Australian population doesn't have the right to dominate msm or to determine our rights! #auspol #nswpol

Greg Sheridan: Net Zero is bad, we are at risk of war with China & Jacinta Price is not a racist.๐Ÿค” If I wanted to hear the views of the far right I would have tuned into late night #SkyAfterDark Not appropriate for family viewing. No more Sheridan, please. #ABCInsiders

People who shout that Hamas are terrorists should also look at how Israeliโ€™s have been persecuting, murdering and dispossessing Palestinians since 1948.

Why has Anthony Albanese excluded/displaced the Race Discrimination Commissioner, whose job this is? โ€œโ€ฆ.the whole system of โ€˜envoysโ€™ is redundant when we already have a Race Discrimination Commissioner empowered to combat all forms of racism.โ€ Greens.

Jillian Segal's interview on ABC730 last night revealed her to be utterly unable to provide even basic examples of things she alleges in her report are happening. Her report is a farrago of distortion and lies. Treat it with the contempt it deserves

Dear PM @albomp.bsky.social I am deeply disturbed by the Zionist agenda being pushed by your Govt's Antisemitism Envoy Jillian Segal. The Australian Federal Court has ruled that opposing Zionism and criticising Israel's genocide in Gaza is NOT anti-Semitic. I agree with Dr Max Kaiser. ๐Ÿ‘‡ #auspol
