University courses covering Israel-Palestine should be audited

Shadow education minister Julian Leeser has called for universities to audit courses covering Israel, Palestine, and Jewish communities, citing concerns about antisemitism on campuses following the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack. Speaking before a royal commission on antisemitism and social cohesion, Leeser expressed dissatisfaction with how university leaders have responded to antisemitism issues. The inquiry is also examining security concerns for the Jewish community, with Leeser noting his own son has become afraid to attend synagogues and community events.
