  • Summary

  • In the season finale of Australia Fair, host Janak Rogers tackles the profound effects of the Israel-Gaza conflict on Australia's social fabric. This episode highlights the surge in anti-Semitic and Islamophobic incidents, focusing on the fallout from former Labor Senator Fatima Payman’s outspoken criticism of Israel, which led to her resignation from parliamentary committees and departure from the Labor Party. The discussion extends to the strain on Australia's multicultural cohesion, with experts like Dr. Max Kaiser analysing the rising racial tensions and immigration debates. We reflect on Australia’s progress towards inclusivity and the essential work needed to address the deeper issues of multiculturalism and foster a truly united society - including the reconciliation journey with Australia's Indigenous communities. Activists and scholars, including Jacqui Katona, emphasise the need for genuine reconciliation with Indigenous Australians and a redefined approach to multiculturalism that acknowledges historical and ongoing injustices.
