"Jewish Council of Australia opposes Coalition’s antisemitism Bill, citing political agenda to stifle free speech on Palestine" https://www.jewishcouncil.com.au/media/jewish-council-of-australia-opposes-coalitions-antisemitism-bill-citing-political-agenda-to-stifle-free-speech-on-palestine 27 August 2024

"While we are deeply concerned about the rise of antisemitism in Australia, this Bill is not the answer. The Coalition continues to use Jews as political footballs, using fear to drive a right-wing political agenda. This Bill relies on disputed definitions and conflates criticism of Israel with antisemitism, which ultimately undermines our ability to address real instances of hate and discrimination." Dr Max Kaiser, Executive Officer of the Jewish Council of Australia
