Representatives of the Jewish community including its national and state leadership, have met with opposition leader Bill Shorten and his parliamentary colleagues Mark Dreyfus and Michael Danby, to discuss the ALP’s approach to Israel and other issues of concern to the community.

Robert Goot, President of the The Executive Council of Australian Jewry and Mark Leibler, Chairman of The Australia/Israel and Jewish Affairs Council, described the one hour discussion with more than a dozen leaders as “a very warm and positive exchange of views on a wide range of issues of concern to us. We were all grateful to Bill Shorten for initiating the meeting, for listening to our views and for the views that he expressed.”
With Malcolm Turnbull as Prime Minister and Bill Shorten , seemingly, having a friendly attitude towards Jews, we can be a little confident that universal
anti-Jewish politics will not be prevalent in Australia. I stress the word
“little”
Unfortunately Mr. Harper is no longer Prime Minister of Canada. Of all world
leaders he was perhaps the most strongly positive towards Israel- unlike
his neighbor .
