The Australian government has referred the issue of antisemitism at Australian universities to the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Human Rights for an in-depth inquiry, but the move has been criticized as 'inadequate' by the Shadow Education Minister and Australian Jewish groups. The inquiry will examine the prevalence and incidence of antisemitism at universities and the current support given to staff and students. The Committee has until March 2025 to submit their findings. Critics argue that the inquiry ignores the advice of the government's antisemitism envoy and major Jewish organizations, and that the reporting date is a deliberate attempt to prevent the report from being published.
