About
Jillian Segal is Australia's special envoy to combat antisemitism. She is currently newsworthy due to her role in addressing rising antisemitism in the country, particularly in the wake of the Bondi terror attack. Segal has urged Australian leaders to act on recommendations she presented in July. She is also involved in a controversial university report card process designed to assess how well universities deal with antisemitism, including protests and displays of flags. Greg Craven was hand-picked to lead the report card process after an open tender process failed to yield any bids. The report card has faced criticism and scrutiny, adding to Segal's current relevance as a key figure in Australia's response to antisemitism.
