National database setup to track antisemitic crime

 

                                          AFP commissioner, Reece Kershaw 


In a statement on Tuesday evening after the national cabinet meeting, Albanese said 36 people had been charged with “antisemitic related offences” in New South Wales and 70 arrests had been made in Victoria.

The prime minister previously resisted calls for such a meeting, saying on Monday that Australians did not just want to see more meetings on antisemitism.

AFP commissioner, Reece Kershaw said they are looking into whether overseas individuals have paid local criminals to carry out Jewish hate crimes in our suburbs and how they have been paid, for example in cryptocurrency, which can take longer to identify.
