It’s been a year since the Albanese government appointed Jillian Segal to the role of Special Envoy to Combat Antisemitism in Australia.

Last week, alongside the Prime Minister, Ms Segal released her plan.

It recommends media organisations should be monitored and funding should be withheld from universities and cultural institutions if they don’t stop antisemitism.

But critics say what she’s proposing could backfire.

Today, human rights lawyer and executive officer at the Jewish Council of Australia, Sarah Schwartz, on the rise in antisemitism and what should be done to stop it.
