I can not get past Australia’s very generously publicly funded Special Envoy for Combatting Antisemitism reciting social cohesion to advance zionist agenda when her husband and brother in law are among the biggest donors to Advance.
How grotesque. At a time where we need positive political leadership that brings us together, unites us, protects our social cohesion & multiculturalism these dills seek to exploit tragedy, division and fear. Shame on them all.

The prime minister is undoubtedly facing tough conversations behind closed doors, but until the public gets to witness the scrutiny he will never satisfy his critics.
