Antisemitism envoy distances herself from husband’s donation to right-wing lobby group

AUSTRALIA, JUL 13 – Jillian Segal denies involvement in her husband's $50,000 donation to far-right group Advance Australia amid calls for her resignation and scrutiny over conflicts of interest.

  • The Australian government has designated Jillian Segal to serve as a representative focused on addressing the recent surge in antisemitic incidents since October 2023.
  • This appointment followed a rise in arson and vandalism attacks, prompting a plan focused on education and media monitoring to address antisemitism.
  • Jillian Segal clarified that she was not involved in a $50,000 contribution made by a trust managed by her husband, John Roth, to Advance Australia, a right-wing lobby group known for its anti-immigration and anti-Muslim stances.
  • Advance received over $15.6 million in funding during the 2023–24 financial year and has been criticized for its political activities, including opposing Indigenous Voice to Parliament.
  • The controversy has sparked calls for Segal to resign from several organizations, but the government reaffirmed its commitment to combating antisemitism while preserving respectful criticism of Israel.
