Josh Frydenberg to present new Sky News Australia documentary on fight against antisemitism

Former treasurer Josh Frydenberg will examine the alarming rise of antisemitism in a new Sky News Australia documentary Never Again: The Fight Against Antisemitism.

Following the devastating attack on Israel by Hamas terrorists on October 7 last year, the one-hour documentary will examine the rise in hostility towards Jewish people taking place around the world at levels not seen since the Holocaust.

Josh Frydenberg will speak with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Opposition Leader Peter Dutton, former prime ministers John Howard and Julia Gillard, Olympic champion and former senator Nova Peris, former governor-general Peter Cosgrove, award-winning Australian music artist Deborah Conway and survivors of the Holocaust.

The documentary will take a close look at the radicalisation on our streets and how antisemitism has been allowed to take hold, and, critically what needs to be done to stop it.

“Like so many Australians I have been really shocked by the speed and the scale in the rise of antisemitism after October the 7th and I think many Australians don’t know how bad and how dangerous the situation is today, so I wanted to use my voice to ring the alarm bell,” Mr Frydenberg told Sky News Australia host Sharri Markson.

“I wanted to use my voice to shine a light on what is happening here in Australia today and I wanted Australians to see and hear for themselves what is happening in their own country with the rise of antisemitism and to understand this is not just the Jewish community’s fight – this is Australia’s fight.”

The documentary will premiere Tuesday 28 May at 7.00pm AEST.
