On the eve of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, Australia’s Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Foreign Minister Penny Wong have made a choice that should trouble every Australian who believes in moral clarity and historical truth. At home, Albanese’s government has presided over the most serious explosion of antisemitism in Australia’s modern history and has done virtually nothing to stop it. Meanwhile, since the attacks of October 7, 2023, Australia’s Jewish community has been relentlessly targeted, while the government has failed to act. As Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu noted, Albanese’s leadership on this issue is ‘weak’. This is a Prime Minister, who was literally pushed out of his own electorate office by pro-Palestinian protesters, and did nothing to reassert his position.
