  The Albanese government's anti-Semitism taskforce is "a day late and a dollar short", opposition home affairs spokesman James Paterson has said.


The Coalition has criticized the Albanese government's newly announced antisemitism taskforce, labeling it as "a day late and a dollar short." This taskforce, led by Jillian Segal, aims to address the rising tide of antisemitism in Australia, particularly in light of recent events in the Middle East. Opposition Leader Peter Dutton and Shadow Attorney-General Michaelia Cash have accused the government of being slow to respond to the issue, with Dutton highlighting the government's failure to act on previous recommendations from the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Intelligence and Security. The taskforce's establishment follows a significant increase in antisemitic incidents, with the Executive Council of Australian Jewry reporting a 484% surge in such events. Despite the criticism, the government insists that the taskforce is a crucial step towards tackling antisemitism, with Prime Minister Albanese emphasizing the need for a united front against hatred and discrimination.
