Following the deadliest domestic terror attack in Australia’s history, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese faced criticism he didn’t do enough to combat rising assaults on the Jewish community nor swiftly enact recommendations from the nation’s antisemitism envoy released five months ago.

Albanese — who shrugged off criticism of his handling of escalating antisemitic attacks on his way to a landslide election victory in May — focused most of his response to strengthening gun laws while also urging Australians to rally around the Jewish community and protect social cohesion.
