We strongly welcome today’s plan from the Special Envoy on Antisemitism, which provides a pathway to ensuring that antisemitism truly has no place in Australian society.
Many of the Envoy’s recommendations will rely on state governments and their agencies, and we look forward to working closely with the NSW Government on these matters.
The focus on education is vital but equally important are measures to hold institutions accountable.
Proposals to defund universities that fail to protect Jewish students and cut funding to creatives who enable hate speech show this plan is not just symbolic, it has teeth.
Equally, we welcome recommendations that Australia’s migration system explicitly consider an individual’s antisemitic views before approving visas for those who wish to enter or remain in Australia.
We hope the release of this report represents a watershed moment in combatting the hate which has thus far been allowed to flourish.
We thank the Envoy for her leadership and look forward to the Federal Government’s formal response to her recommendations.
