Secondly, there have been individuals who have managed to exploit a nation that had different principles of freedom of speech and have gone right to the limits of language that is clearly dehumanising, unacceptable, having no place in Australia, but have not quite crossed the threshold to violence.

And yet, for a generation, no government has been able to successfully take action against them because they have fallen just below the legal threshold."

Press conference - Parliament House, Canberra
ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: I’ll make some comments and then be followed by the Special Envoy to Combat Antisemitism, Jillian Segal, Commissioner Krissy Barrett, Minister Tony Burke, and then Minister Jason Clare. And then we’ll be happy to take questions. There is no place in Australia for antisemitism. It is an evil that tears at the fabric of our country. It puts the peaceful, free and equal society that we cherish at risk. Sadly, since the terrible events of October 2023, we have witnessed an increase in antisemitism, which is of course an ancient hatred.
