Why would anyone, especially an Australian, think the right thing to do was bring in a Jewish, SA immigrants in as special envoy on antisemitism, she is no way a Semite, never was, never will be yet she thinks she should be the top person to make rules in another country about antisemitism. White South Africans are very much in favour of apartheid. Why did she leave SA? What was she and her husband, both far right types who made their fortune out of the subjugation of Africans, running from? We know white Afrikaans didn't like it one bit when the real Africans got their rights back in their own country - that's a question I'd like answered.

How long has she been in Australia that she is allowed to step into this position; telling Australians what she considers to be antisemitic?

Talk about sending the bull into the china shop.

Albanese appears to have developed a nasty habit of putting his foot in his mouth.

Yet another miscalculation followed by a knee-jerk reaction in the irrational ingrained fear of being wedged by a toothless opposition and an increasingly irrelevant mainstream media.

This is followed by a now disturbingly familiar and unnecessary doubling down.

Such stubbornness is going to end up costing the ALP, from AUKUS to backing this shrill South African crone anointing herself with omnipotence in pushing the narrow, fascist interests of the Zionist lobby and Jewish exceptionalism, Albanese and his inner circle of groupthinkers are demonstrating very poor judgement.

Thank you Joel.

That the Government has allowed this to come to this stage is outrageous. The ALP’s courting of such a dangerous, non-neutral actor is a stain on their record.

Segal is about to become ‘Inquisitor’ and could control have the power to declare anything she wants as ‘anti-Semitic’. She wants the power to monitor public broadcasting and give herself sole discretion of censor, and power to strip funding from universities. She has not outlined how she will use those powers and exercise due process.

The ALP (and LNP) have proven themselves extremely dangerous to our few remaining civil liberties. Don’t like Israel’s apartheid and crimes against humanity? Now you will be silenced.

For some unfathomable reason in this allegedly multicultural nation PM Albanese was falling over himself to appoint her to dictate Zionist policy to the government . Not one Australian voter voted for her to dictate policy to the nation . (“Chosen People” indeed !

Time for the men in the white coats to assist her and her ilk.)
