Antisemitism exposed
The one-hour documentary, to air on Sky News at 7pm, examines the alarming rise of antisemitism in Australia and its impact on our country and our democracy.
Former treasurer Josh Frydenberg will present a new documentary Never Again: The Fight Against Antisemitism on Tuesday, May 28.
The one-hour documentary, to air on Sky News at 7pm, examines the alarming rise of antisemitism in Australia and its impact on our country and our democracy.
For Frydenberg, this issue goes beyond politics. It is about the kind of country Australia should be. “Since the attack on October 7 antisemitism in Australia has reached an unprecedented and dangerous level,” Frydenberg said.
“Red lines have been crossed and a green light given to what clearly is unacceptable conduct. This is a time our leaders need to show courage and moral clarity, taking stronger and more decisive action to call out and stamp out antisemitism in Australia.”
The documentary examines the rise in hostility towards Jewish people around the world, at levels not seen since the Holocaust, following Hamas’s attack on Israel on October 7 last year.
From the Sydney Opera House to the heartland of Melbourne’s Jewish community in Caulfield, the escalation of antisemitism has been widespread and violent.
The incitement has not only been seen through violent demonstrations but in the desecration of national monuments, interruption of major events, the boycott of Jewish-owned businesses, doxing of Jewish artists and harassment of community members.
In the documentary, Frydenberg speaks on the rising tide of antisemitism with prominent Australians, among them Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Opposition Leader Peter Dutton, former prime ministers John Howard and Julia Gillard, Olympic champion and former senator Nova Peris, former governor-general Peter Cosgrove, award-winning Australian music artist Deborah Conway and survivors of the Holocaust.
