Mark Dreyfus has been heckled while addressing an antisemitism conference, as the Liberal MP Michael Sukkar stood by his move last week to gag the attorney general from speaking on antisemitism in parliament.
On Thursday, Sky News Australia held an antisemitism summit at the Central Sydney synagogue. Speaker John Howard – appearing alongside others including the antisemitism envoy, Jillian Segal, the opposition leader, New South Wales premier and Israeli ambassador – was praised by the summit host, Sky’s Sharri Markson, as one of Australia’s “greatest” prime ministers.
