In this episode of Behind The Headlines, I am joined by journalist Julie Szego for a clear-eyed examination of how Australia’s arts and cultural sector — once proudly liberal and pluralist — has become a breeding ground for antisemitism. We explore how activist politics, moral absolutism and managerial cowardice have reshaped cultural spaces, why Jewish voices are being marginalised or silenced, and how language meant to protect human rights is now being used to exclude Jews. This is a rigorous, unsettling conversation about power, conformity, and how we reached a point where hatred can wear the costume of virtue — and what it will take to reverse it.
