Australia could end up with more victims of the legal warfare being conducted by supporters of Israel then there are victims of antisemitism, and that needs to be looked at and addressed by the federal and state governments.
For example, Justice Darryl Rangiah will hand down his judgment on Friday (18/7/25) for the 9 female lawyers from the “Lawyers for Israel” WhatsApp group and their frivolous and vexatious application for 8 respondents, Larina Alick, Sam White, Calum Jaspan, Michael Bachelard, Bevan Shields, Patrick Elligett, The Age and Fairfax Media Publications, from Nine Entertainment to be charged with contempt of court.
Add the 8 respondents from Nine to journalist Antoinette Lattouf, who was sacked by the ABC because of attacks and lies by the “Lawyers for Israel” WhatsApp group, and journalist Mary Kostakidis, who is being sued by the Zionist Federation of Australia for shining a light on Israel’s genocide and war crimes in Gaza, and that totals 10 media respondents in frivolous lawsuits by supporters of Israel.
And there are other Australians who have felt the rath from supporters of Israel, such as artist Khaled Sabsabi and pianist Jayson Gillham, but is goes unchecked by politicians.
Israel, via their puppets in Australia, is trying to pressure the Australian government to give preferential treatment to Australian Jews and that was made clear when “Antisemitism envoy Jillian Segal released a plan last week with 49 steps to tackle rising discrimination against Jewish Australians.”
“Segal’s report claimed antisemitism is “ingrained and normalised” in academia and cultural spaces, and said young Australians were being “raised on a diet of disinformation and misinformation about Jews”.” (Click here to read more)
To say antisemitism is “ingrained and normalised” in Australia is a lie and it’s a lie to try and justify Jillian Segal’s position as Antisemitism envoy and the propaganda and lies she is pushing on behalf of Israel.
Jillian Segal’s husband John Roth was exposed supporting anti-Palestine group Advance in February 2025 by The Guardian in an article titled “Liberal party investment vehicle donated $500,000 to rightwing group Advance” which starts off:
A Liberal party investment group donated $500,000 to the rightwing advocacy group Advance last financial year, fuelling speculation from the Greens the two are teaming up to take out the minor party’s influence in the upcoming federal election.
Advance, which has pledged to “expose” the Greens as Australia’s “biggest threat to freedom, security and prosperity”, received more than $15.6m in the 2023-24 financial year, up from $5.2m the year before, according to the latest Australian Electoral Commission annual donation disclosure figures.
Just $914,000, or 5.8%, of the donations’ sources are known with the remaining $14.8m not publicly declared, sometimes referred to as “dark money”.
Advance’s largest declared donor was the Cormack Foundation, best known as a multimillion-dollar investment vehicle for the Liberal party and one of the party’s biggest single donors.
and:
Henroth Investments Pty Ltd also handed the group $50,000 in 2023-24. One of its directors, John Roth, is also a director of the gelato chain Gelatissimo and the husband of the special envoy to combat antisemitism, Jillian Segal. (Click here to read more)
The Guardian reported on the 14th of July “Australia’s antisemitism envoy, Jillian Segal, says she had no involvement in a major donation from her husband’s company to the controversial conservative campaign group Advance, which has strongly railed against overseas immigration, pro-Palestine protests and the Labor government.” (Click here to read more)
The Conversation reported “Early prominent members (and funders) of Advance included storage king Sam Kennard, far-right former president of the Australian Jewish Association David Adler, and climate denier Maurice Newman.” (Click here to read more)
Advance, which has strong Jewish connections via Jillian Segal’s husband John Roth and former president of the Australian Jewish Association David Adler, regularly attacks Palestine in social media posts.
It’s not all negative with many starting to fight back with headlines such as “The Israel lobby stands loudly condemned for its silence“, “Antisemitism plan fails on a number of fronts – a contentious definition of hate is just the start” and “The special envoy’s plan is the latest push to weaponise antisemitism in Australia, as a relentless campaign pays off” which starts off:
One must acknowledge the remarkably effective Jewish community organisations in Australia behind the latest antisemitism report. Collectively, with their News Ltd megaphone, they have successfully badgered the government of the day, cowed the ABC, intimidated vice-chancellors and threatened to defund arts organisations.
With the ability to garner prime ministerial dinners, a battalion of lobbyists has gained access to editors, duchessed willingly seduced journalists keen to enjoy junkets and corralled more than 500 captains of industry to subscribe to full-page ads against antisemitism and thereby blurring political argument with prejudice and bias. It is no surprise that this relentless propaganda effort has paid off.
The appointment of Jillian Segal to special envoy to combat antisemitism, routinely described as an “eminent corporate lawyer”, does not seem to bring scholarly expertise to the role. With respect one might argue that Segal’s previous position as president of ECAJ, an unequivocal advocate for Israel as the Jewish homeland, should have disqualified her for the role.
Numbers have been cited as evidence of an escalation of antisemitic incidents that had apparently occurred after 7 October 2023. Of course, nuance or accuracy isn’t paramount in this campaign. So, 16 students at Sydney University feeling intimidated by the slogan “from the river to the sea” was reframed as 250 complaints submitted to parliamentary inquiry.
A childcare centre that was not in fact a Jewish centre was added to the list of terrifying antisemitic attacks. The individuals police believe were hired by criminals seeking a reduction in their prison sentences who allegedly placed combustible material in a caravan became a “terrorist plot”, the hooligans (still unidentified seven months later) who firebombed the Addas Israel synagogue brought out a rash of politicians to deplore the incident. (Click here to read more)
And while Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and the government jump when the likes of Jillian Segal say so, they ignore widespread racism. The SMH reported:
Days before the release of the Segal report, Judge Elisabeth Armitage found that the fatal police shooting of Kumanjayi Walker, an Indigenous man killed by a Northern Territory Police officer in 2019, was “a case of officer-induced jeopardy” by a “racist” constable with a “contempt for accountability”. While relentless lobbying by pro-Israel groups has produced a vast amount of media coverage and political activity in recent weeks, the muted reaction to Armitage’s finding is jarring.
The appointment of Segal as a special envoy and her subsequent recommendations are infused with the notion that protecting Australian Jews from antisemitism is more important than the battle against racism for other minorities. Such an approach fuels antisemitism rather than curbs it. The fight against racism never stops, and it is only effective when impacted communities unite to challenge it.
The Albanese government is now confronted with a similar choice to that presented to the ABC. How it responds will have profound implications for the health of democracy and social cohesion in this country. (Click here to read more)
Conclusion
So while Jillian Segal is demanding more rights for Jews in Australia her husband John Roth is funding attacks by Advance on Palestinians on social media and the government thinks it is ok for Jillian Segal to keep her position as Antisemitism envoy.
And while Jillian Segal, her husband John Roth and Advance are up to their tricks various supporters of Israel are abusing the law to silence journalists and anyone else who shines a light on the genocide in Gaza and war crimes committed by the Israeli government.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and his government need to think long and hard about their next steps because the Israeli lobbyists could end up destroying them like they destroyed the ABC management.

Categories: Prime Minister Anthony Albanese
Rath is a term used in Ireland, referring to a fortified, often circular enclosure from the Iron Age.
Albonese known for poor judgement time after time, appointment of a convicted electoral fraudster on $900,000+ and this current debarkle, failure to do background checks..too weak to stand up for best interests of Australia time and time again.
Time to #ResignSegal your position is
no longer tenable ..
She will never resign, and the outcry if she is dismissed will be heard all the way from israel.
Its wrath, not rath.
Anti-racism should be taught in schools and reinforced in tertiary education. Teach kids to understand WHY racism is so abhorrent.
Australia is a very racist country and its shameful. But instead of highlighting one sect, as in Jews, it needs a much broader base. IMO both sides, Jews and Palestinians, are at fault in the current spat, so siding with Segal/Jews alone is bound to cause ongoing feuding in Australia. Its a really dumb move.
Australia must address its racist attitudes. People need to be shamed for their racist views across the board. Its based on absolute ignorance and merely highlights their low IQ.
“Is Prime Minister Anthony Albanese putting Australian Jews above all other Australians?” It certainly feels that way. The paranoia and determindly deluded idea of 1% of the population that anti-genocide rhetoric equals antisemitism should enable them to steal the free speech and freedoms of the other 99% of us. The lack of any other kind of racism being stopped by government, and there’s plenty of real (not imagined) racism in Australia – always has been. Australia is known for it. Yes, he certainly is putting Australian Jews above all other Australians.
So tired of governments cow towing to Zionist terrorists
Our government is one of the worst offenders
BTW. STOP SELLING THE ZIONIST WARMONGERS ARMAMENTS.
No more votes
Aussie Bob
What planet is Jillian Segal living on? Can she and her ilk seriously not comprehend that the rise of real and/or perceived antisemitism is a self-perpetuating phenomenon resulting directly from the thuggish behaviour of Israel itself under the leadership of the corrupt Benjamin Netanyahu and his Zionist backers. Netanyahu, just like his partner-in-slime, Donald Trump, is fending off a swathe of criminal charges so that he can keep his evil arse out of jail, where it surely belongs. I didn’t support Hamas’ incursion in October 2023, nor do I support the burning of synagogues or any other forms of violence and vandalism (I believe the great majority of the Israeli diaspora of Jewish and other faiths around the world simply want to live in peace). However, for Ms. Segal to propose the censuring and/or censoring of our media, peaceful protest and debate on our university campuses and other expressions of abhorrence at Israel’s disgraceful warmongering and slaughter of tens of thousands of innocent men, women and children is staggeringly hypocritical. If she, her husband and their fellow entitled “chosen ones” don’t like their comfortable war-free life here in Australia, perhaps they should pack up and move (back) to their so-called “homelands”. If the Australian government panders to her distorted views, they too – like her, should be roundly condemned.
We all saw Segals questionable record at the NAB? And wonder how the hell she was appointed to this latest completely contrived “Envoy” $400,000 gravy train?
It really does seem these subversive misinformation and disinformation “Advance” operatives, need a thorough investigation and all its shadowy and very secretive elitist donors? Lots of dark money there from who knows where? Tell us, is there actually any real grey area in this donation by Segals husband from the “Family Trust Account”. Don’t all trust members have to sign off on all outgoings like this $50,000 one. If this is so. Did Segals husband lie to her or is Segal intensionally lying, and misinforming the Govt, that she knows nothing about the $50,000 donation to the elitist subversive Advance operatives? And if so, should this not be a reason for her to immediately resign?
She is a multi-millionaire, she should be doing this gratis if she really believes in it as she professes.
Do any of these clowns know who the real Semites are??????, here’s one Palestinians!!!!! 98% of Israeli’s do not have an ounce of Semitic DNA, it’s about time all this bullshit about anti-semitism, was exposed for what it is, lying propaganda. They are all just pawns in the Zionist chess game, of the “chosen ones” the descendants of the Khazars and Central Europeans with no historical connection to Palestine!! That is why DNA testing is banned in Israel, they fear they truth.
Anthony Albanese’s signature referendum for The Voice was held in October 2023. It was defeated, largely through the propaganda efforts of Advance Australia funded, in part, by the multimillionaire property developer John Roth. Nine months later, in July 2024, Albanese appointed Jillian Segal, John Roth’s wife, as Australia’s antisemitism envoy. For this alone, the appointment by Albanese defies credulity and poses serious questions about his credibility and judgement.
Thanks Dave, incredulous. It really makes you wonder, doesn’t it.
KCA, Congratulations !
I am a follower of your articles, and have a collection of T shirts, I have found some of your posts lacking in, real issues, meaningful to all, but this time you nailed it!
This is an insane situation Albanese is trying to emulate McCarthyism in Australia. They say it is a trope of antisemitism that, jews control the financial system World Wide, (duh ) and that they insinuate themselves into any influential controlling positions, well I don’t know, but the media and the ABC in particular are obviously controlled by foreign actors, (from you know where) who also call the shots of our cowardly politicians.
The Albanese government encourages the slaughter of Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Iran and any citizens across the globe who Mossad choose , but graffiti in Rose Bay is a heinous crime and must be stamped out at all costs.
Segal must go and Albanese with her, this is treachery and treasonous behaviour by both.
What has become of Decency ?
“Is Prime Minister Anthony Albanese putting Australian Jews above all other Australians?” – no – he’s putting zionists above all others in Australia. All the Jews I know closely are as appalled by his incompetent, weak decisions as every other non Jewish thinking Australian.
Agreed all Jewish people I know are appalled by these goings on. Zionists are not different from any other extremist zealots, sadly.
At least one other thing needs to be considered. There is no mystery behind the so-called anti-Semitism attacks and the inability to trace those behind the perpetrators. Mossad. At least half the diplomatic Staff in the Israeli Embassy will bre Mossad agents. Check the 2023 writing of Asa Winstanley: Weaponising Anti-Semitism or the book by Oxford academic Avi Shlaim: Three Worlds: Memoir of an Arab-Jew – both point out the deviousness of Mossad committing anti-Semitic – i.e. anti-Jewish actions to steer political changes. I recognise that Australia has a racist past (and, mostly on the right) and present. But truly anti-Semitic – not a bit of it. Only in the fevered manipulations of the Zionists!
As per their website, the Zionist Federation of Australia ‘Israeli Programs’ are funded by the Israeli government. So they are openly committing the crime of failing to register as a foreign agent. Some of these programs are for Australian youth to serve in the IDF. So they are openly committing the crime of foreign military recruitment in Australia. The Moriah College Foundation actively promotes the ZFA IP. These are the senior students annual excursion. The Commonwealth Bank is a corporate sponsor of the Moriah College… no other school has CBA sponsorship. The Foundation rec’d $6.8M in donations last year. The ZFA funds lots of youth groups which are pipelines to IDF recruitment. They make no secret about it.. “As a testament to our impact, many of our members choose to continue their journey with us beyond year 12, volunteering in the Israeli army….” Hatzofim, B’nei Akiva, Betar, Habonim Dror, Netzer, Hineni…. and most of the recruitment nights are held at synagogues…. Doesnt the government have a duty of care to protect Aussie youth, from being indoctrinated? as a minimum! Every group I mentioned so far are registered charities benefitting from tax exemptions .. I dont care what laws are passed regarding antisemitism.. I will continue to state that Israel owns us through our financial institutions and through our political leadership… and that Israel has no legal right to exist.. there was no legal authority to create a European ethnonational state in Palestine, and even if there were, Israel never complied with the partition plan …. and a year later when they were given UN membership, they didnt, and still dont have international borders.. what borders did the UN recognise as the State of Israel?.. But now that Israel does exist, the world should ensure that they abide by the law and especially by the UN Resolution from last September, that Australia voted in favour of, stating that Israel has 12 months to dismantle all settlements and evacuate all settlers from the OPTs, to allow the Palestinian refugees the right of return and to pay reparations.
Vee, Albanese is failing us badly. As did the previous government for the past 10 years. With 80% of our Parliament in support of Israel’s genocide, most of our mainstream media as well as corporations, what hope do we have? I fear greatly for my kids and grandkids.
The urgency of this matter cannot be overstated. Public confidence in the government’s commitment to transparency, integrity, and fair representation is at stake. With growing concerns about conflicts of interest and the effectiveness of the current antisemitism envoy, it is vital that decisive action be taken within the next 10 days.
Prolonging uncertainty risks further erosion of trust not only in the envoy’s office but in the Prime Minister’s leadership itself.
Urgent Actions for the Prime Minister to Take Within 10 Days Regarding Jillian Segal’s Appointment
• Immediately order an independent, transparent investigation into the appointment process and any potential conflicts of interest involving Jillian Segal and her family.
• Within 3 days, publicly disclose all relevant information about financial donations and political affiliations linked to Segal and her immediate family.
• Within 5 days, hold consultations with diverse community leaders-including Jewish, Palestinian, and multicultural groups—to assess confidence in Segal’s role.
• Within 7 days, review the envoy’s mandate to ensure it balances combating antisemitism with protecting free speech and open debate.
• By day 10, decide to either:
o Retain Segal if evidence clears her and broad community trust is restored, or
o Publicly announce her removal and begin the process to appoint a more widely accepted and transparent replacement.
Prime Minister Albanese, leadership is measured not just by appointments, but by the courage to correct mistakes swiftly and transparently.
The nation is watching YOU PM – and waiting, again!
Segal was a director at NAB when bank was up to its neck in scams. So far NAB has had to pay customers more than $1 billion in scams
Remarkably, she still picked up an AO for services to banking just weeks before the Banking RC handed out its damning report.
Now has a job as director of Grattan inst
After Albo made some criticisms of Israel bombing Gazan hospitals, Segal called the Govt criticisms a “libel”
After the media released details of Roths donation to Advance, Segal has failed to denounce this racist organisation
Complete mystery why ALP would pick a person with a CV like this to the role
Meanwhile, Advance continues to pump out hateful anti immigant/ anti muslim/anti first nation propaganda and we never hear a peep from Newscorp. In Australia, only a small section of the population gets protection from race fuels hate speech
