Albanese faces ‘sustained pressure' to address antisemitism in Australia

Sky News AU09-07-2025
Sky News host Sharri Markson urges the Albanese government to take "serious action" on antisemitism and highlights how the PM is set to stand with the Special Envoy to combat antisemitism Jillian Segal tomorrow.
"It is in this changing climate that, finally, Albanese is expected to speak out tomorrow about antisemitism," Ms Markson said.
"We can never forgive Albanese, Burke, Penny Wong and others for how they have allowed this crisis to flourish ... how they have ruined Australia, causing it to be a violent, racist, unsafe country for Jews."

‘They think laws don't apply to them': Wong slammed for not suspending Mehreen Faruqi

Shadow Attorney-General Julian Leeser says Foreign Minister Penny Wong should have taken on Shadow Foreign Affairs Minister Michaelia Cash's advice that Greens Deputy Leader Mehreen Faruqi should have been suspended for an anti-Israel act. Ms Faruqi has had sanctions placed on her because of the act, but Mr Leeser says the Labor government 'could've gone further'. 'It was a sign of a lack of leadership that Penny Wong has displayed that she didn't back Michaelia Cash's call to suspend her,' Mr Leeser told Sky News host Steve Price. 'I think a suspension is the right sort of thing. 'What we see again and again from the Greens is a sense that the laws and the conventions of our society don't apply to them.'

Mehreen Faruqi's anti-Israel act which ‘hijacked' the Senate was ‘disgraceful'

Shadow Attorney-General Julian Leeser says Greens deputy leader Mehreen Faruqi's actions in the Senate were a 'disgrace'. Ms Faruqi took part in an anti-Israel protest during the opening ceremony of the Senate. 'I do think it says a lot about where the Greens have ended up,' Mr Leeser told Sky News host Steve Price. 'Senator Faruqi has the right to raise issues and questions in her role as a senator in the Senate using its normal processes, but to hijack the day, and to put forward her disgraceful sign, was reprehensible.'

Labor's reliance on government spending and employment a ‘detriment' to economy ‘as a whole'

Australian Industry Group CEO Innes Willox says the Albanese government's continued reliance on spending and government employment is a 'detriment' to the Australian economy 'as a whole'. 'We have one chance here to turn the ship around and start to get things heading in the right direction and the meeting next month is the launch pad for that,' Mr Willox told Sky News Australia. 'What we have seen over the past 18 months is a clear rise in government spending, a clear rise in government employment, to the detriment of the economy as a whole and to the detriment of our national productivity and our national wealth.'
