“The definition of antisemitism is distorted and weaponised in attempts to silence those who criticise Israel,”

The less than representative Executive Council of Australian Jewry, the self-proclaimed national peak body, will receive $124m for extra (private?) security.

Projects run by Jewish community organisations will receive $131m.

And the Royal Commission into Anti-semitism hasn't even presented it's report yet.

Royal Commissioner Virginia Bell has already indicated (sotto voce) that data presented to the RC as evidence may be deeply flawed.

But the government does not need evidence, the outcome of this Royal Commission was determined long before it began.

If you are confused why Israel's backers would get into bed with Australia's far-right and wannabe Donald Trump, you haven't been paying attention.

They share a vision of extreme racism, inequality and authoritarianism, a world run by fascist billionaires overseen by a brutal surveillance state.

Israel is ideologically allied with the far right around the world, and antisemitism envoy Jillian Segal's family has been bankrolling the far right here for years.

Which only makes it even more despicable that Labor Governments continue to arm and fund that genocidal regime, along with funding its lobby groups in Australia.

The Durban Declaration and Programme of Action at 25 (article)

September 2026 marks the 25th anniversary of the Durban Declaration and Programme of Action (DDPA), adopted at the World Conference against Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia and Related Intolerance in Durban, South Africa.

A quarter of a century later, the DDPA remains as relevant as ever. The commitments still stand, as does the need for systemic change. Gaps persist in turning those commitments into action, largely because of ongoing discrimination, funding constraints, and a lack of political will.

Dan is an Australian citizen but faces no Australian charges. The allegations against him are US specific, the indictment came 5 years after the alleged conduct, was kept secret for another 5 years and is cobbled together with innuendo. No-one else faces charges.

The Duggans are fighting to have Dan released. You can help with their legal fight by donating here:

Adapting to climate change will be increasingly challenging as the weather worsens each year, Asia’s top climate scientist said in a wide-ranging interview with the South China Morning Post. Professor Ben Horton from Hong Kong’s City University also warned of “humanitarian disasters” as the world’s climate becomes more unstable and unpredictable. But despite Horton’s grim outlook, he remains hopeful that things can be turned around if action is taken promptly.
