Morry Frenkel speaks with Michael Gawenda, Walkley Award winner, and former editor and editor-in-chief of The Age, about the Cathy Wilcox cartoon, ‘Grass Roots’, that appeared in the Sydney Morning Herald and The Age earlier this year. Michael talks about the important role traditionally played by the political cartoonist in the popular press and the process he followed as editor in assessing whether a cartoon should be published. He also talks about the work of the Australian Press Council and his agreement with its important, forceful decision that Wilcox’s cartoon had encoded harmful antisemitic tropes that Jews secretly controlled or manipulated global events, governments and the media.

Maurice Klein speaks with Dean Hurlston, State Director for Allies for a Strong Australia. Dean outlines how Never Again Is Now that was founded by Mark Leach, has now morphed into the grassroots movement Allies for a Strong Australia, having chapters in New South Wales, Queensland, Western Australian and Victoria, with strong interest now in South Australia and Tasmania, for the continued planed nationwide expansion in every electorate. With the Bondi slaughter the wake-up call for all Australians, together the Allies for a Strong Australia are taking a stand against antisemitism that is plaguing Australia and hate. Social cohesion is under severe strain with our democratic values being tested. Allies exists because Australia needs people who are prepared to stand up, speak clearly, build friendships, defend community cohesion, support the Jewish community and others subjected to hate, by strengthening the values that keep Australia, safe, free and united. The Allies chapters are local teams of committed Australians who meet regularly, welcome new supporters, run community events, support rallies, build bridges with churches and faith communities and help turn the shared conviction of social cohesion into practical values and action. The Allies will not surrender to the hatred and division that is now being propagated by radical Islam, hard core leftism, and dishonest media. For more information to join and support the Allies for a Strong Australia go to www.theallies.au or contact Dean at dean@theallies.au. Donations are tax deductible.

David Schulberg previews what is intended to be a comprehensive expose of the ABC's systemic anti-Israel bias and the fact that it has been fuelling antisemitism by being a purveyor of false narratives that demean Israel. This has been submitted to the Royal Commission on Antisemitism and Social Cohesion and is submission no ASC016068 and can be seen as being an adjunct to submission no ASC000072, which is The ABC Misinformation Report itself.
