Sky News Australia will premiere a new documentary, Never Again: The Fight Against Antisemitism.

Josh Frydenberg

Presented by Josh Frydenberg, the one-hour documentary examines the alarming rise of antisemitism in Australia and its impact on our country and our democracy.

For the former Treasurer of Australia, this issue goes beyond politics. It is about the kind of country Australia should be.

Following the devastating attack on Israel by Hamas terrorists on October 7 last year, the documentary examines the rise in hostility towards Jewish people taking place around the world at levels not seen since the Holocaust.

From the steps of the Sydney Opera House to the heartland of Melbourne’s Jewish community in Caulfield, the escalation of antisemitism has been widespread and violent.

The incitement has not only been seen through violent demonstrations but in the desecration of national monuments, interruption of major events, the boycott of Jewish-owned businesses, doxing of Jewish artists and harassment of community members.

 

Through a reflective and, at times, emotional lens, Josh speaks on the rising tide of antisemitism with prominent Australians, among them Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Opposition Leader Peter Dutton, former prime ministers John Howard and Julia Gillard, Olympic champion and former senator Nova Peris, former governor-general Peter Cosgrove, award-winning Australian music artist Deborah Conway and survivors of the Holocaust.

Josh Frydenberg said: “Since the attack on October 7 antisemitism in Australia has reached an unprecedented and dangerous level. Red lines have been crossed and a green light given to what clearly is unacceptable conduct. This is a time our leaders need to show courage and moral clarity, taking stronger and more decisive action to call out and stamp out antisemitism in Australia.” Never Again: The Fight Against Antisemitism takes a close look at the radicalisation on our streets and how antisemitism has been allowed to take hold, and, critically what needs to be done to stop it.

Never Again: The Fight Against Antisemitism Premieres Tuesday 28 May at 7.00pm AEST Stream at SkyNews.com.au or download the Sky News Australia app Also available to watch on Foxtel and Sky News Regional or stream on Fla
