Hearing on Combatting Antisemitism, Hate and Extremism Bill 2026

ECAJ Co-CEO Peter Wertheim and Head of Legal Simone Abel appeared before the Par­lia­ment­ary Joint Committee on Intel­li­gence and Security on 14th January 2026 to discuss the Exposure Draft Legis­la­tion: Com­batting Antisemitism, Hate and Extremism Bill 2026

"While the Bill is aimed at creating a safer, more unified Australia through more robust antihate legislation, and takes significant steps toward that end, it suffers some considerable shortcomings which will limit its effectiveness."

The Executive Council of Australian Jewry (ECAJ) is seeking to appoint a Project Manager to coordinate ECAJ’s national engagement with the Royal Commission into Antisemitism and Social Cohesion.
