OUR STATEMENT welcoming Royal Commission scrutiny of ABC, social media companies:
The Australia/Israel & Jewish Affairs Council (@AIJAC_Update) welcomes reports that the Royal Commission into Antisemitism and Social Cohesion will hear evidence from the ABC, major media organisations and social media companies.
For years, AIJAC has raised the alarm about the long-term, systematic and institutional anti-Israel bias at the ABC, as well as the failure of social media platforms to adequately address the relentless proliferation of antisemitic hate, misinformation and incitement.
AIJAC Executive Director Dr Colin Rubenstein: “When reporting is distorted, context is omitted, or antisemitic narratives are amplified and allowed to spread unchecked, the consequences can be profound, and even lead to violence.
Equally, social media companies must answer for their repeated failure to effectively curb the tidal wave of antisemitic abuse, conspiracy theories and incitement that continues to flourish on their platforms.
We hope that the Commission’s work will lead to meaningful reforms that strengthen accountability and restore public confidence in our media institutions.”

After spending over 26 years as a senior ABC journalist & broadcaster, I’ve seen the once great ABC become a sheltered workshop of dishonest, corrupt, bias, left wing, journalism.
1.4 billion taxpayer dollars wasted annually on this cancerous crap.
Proof of ABC lies: Russian collusion hoax, Joe Biden dementia coverup, Biden laptop, George Pell, Gaza Hospital bombing, Charlottesville fine people hoax, Covington kids, fake Trump Jan 6 speech, fake Heston Russell Afghan gunshots, Grace Tame Jew hate, fake Gaza genocide, Brittany Higgins coverup lie, ABC/RMIT fact check bias, lost multiple defamation cases.
Time to sell the ABC.
