Former ABC director Joe Gersh has called out the public broadcaster for not examining the current explosion of antisemitism in Australia. Gersh affirms that he is a supporter of a “strong, independent and impartial” ABC.

“It is a matter of deep concern to me, as a member of the Jewish community, as a former ABC director, and as an Australian citizen that our national broadcaster has not fully understood and dealt with what I believe has reached crisis proportions.”
