## Resource

Australian universities are under new pressure to combat antisemitism or risk losing accreditation and funding, as mandatory laws kick in July 15th requiring proof of proactive measures against racism. Formed after the Bondi terror attack, the Antisemitism Education Taskforce has launched a $6 million social cohesion hub to train teachers on Holocaust education, hate speech, and unconscious bias—with half the materials focused on antisemitism. Critics, including the Greens, argue this creates a hierarchy of racism by sidelining Islamophobia and First Nations hate. While universities must adopt an antisemitism definition by August, “report cards” for compliance are delayed until 2027. The government insists tackling antisemitism is vital to building a stronger, more inclusive society, with ongoing curriculum reviews and ACARA collaboration aimed at embedding Australian values and preventing hate speech in schools.
