Albanese ‘buries head in sand' as antisemitism runs rampant in Australia
'This is the violent, racist country that we are now living in, that's increasingly unsafe for Jewish Australians,' Ms Markson said.
"Albanese did not adopt a single one of those recommendations; perhaps he naively believed if he did nothing, if he buried his head in the sand, the problem would go away.'

‘Alarming move': Liberal frontbenchers condemn Albanese government decision to sign letter calling for immediate end to Gaza conflict
Liberal frontbenchers have condemned the Albanese government's decision to sign a joint letter calling for the immediate end to the conflict in Gaza. Foreign Minister Penny Wong joined her counterparts from the UK, Canada, New Zealand and 22 other nations in releasing a joint statement calling for an 'immediate, unconditional and permanent ceasefire' to end the conflict. The letter takes aim at Israel over its handling of humanitarian aid deliveries, pointing out that 'over 800 Palestinians have been killed while seeking aid'. Former IDF spokesperson Jonathan Conricus told Sky News Australia that Hamas operatives were embedding themselves among civilians attempting to access aid. He said the terror group was 'trying to incite a situation, and create that instability and mayhem' in order to stop the provision of aid. Liberal frontbencher Jonathan Duniam said the decision to sign the letter was 'a rather alarming move by the government'. 'I think Jonathan Conricus rightly points out some of the things this letter and the government ignores around what Hamas is doing when it comes to the provision of aid to Gaza,' Senator Duniam said. 'This focus on what Israel is doing, and to a degree, turning a blind eye to how this conflict started, on October 7, those years, and the continued holding of hostages - I know it mentions that, but there is more to this issue than this letter portrays. 'And I think it is a sad turn of events for our government to have joined with other countries in signing this letter. I think that it is not the right approach for the I think that it is not the right approach for the government to have taken." Senator Duniam said it was important there was a de-escalation in the conflict and a return to peace, but insisted that Israel had a right to defend itself. 'What this letter basically is talking about (is) Israel down weapons and allow the people of Gaza to go about what they're doing,' he said. 'There's a conflict here, and Israel does have the right to self-defence, including when it's trying to provide aid to the civilians of Gaza.' Shadow foreign minister Michaelia Cash also condemned the decision. 'It is disappointing that once again the Albanese Government is supporting a statement attacking Israel,' she said on X Senator Cash said all moral outrage over the situation in Gaza 'should be directed at Hamas'. 'This war began because of Hamas's abhorrent attack on Israeli civilians,' the shadow foreign minister said. 'It is important that aid flows into Gaza. Proper quantities of food and other aid must be provided to the people of Gaza. However, the right system must be in place so that it can be distributed without Hamas intervening in the process.' But when Opposition Leader Sussan Ley was asked about the issue on Monday morning, the Liberal leader refused to go as far as her Coalition colleagues. 'The first and most important thing to say about this issue is that there are still hostages in Gaza. There are still hostages hidden in tunnels, and a way to end the situation is for those hostages to be released by the terrorists Hamas, who control so much of the activity there. 'Of course, we want to see aid reach those who deserve it, but it is so important that Hamas - that has control, often over the flow of that aid, but certainly over the ongoing completely unacceptable detention of those hostages - act in the interests of the people of Gaza."
