“It is not possible to undertake a task to bear witness to the Australian Jewish community in the next nine months and produce a final report,” Ronald Sackville told a public forum discussing urgent questions facing the inquiry, hosted by centre-right think tank The Centre for Independent Studies.

Former federal coalition treasurer and prominent Jewish man Josh Frydenberg, who also spoke at the forum, said the problem of antisemitism was bigger than many people realised.

“There is something very mainstream about the antisemitism that is occurring in our country,” he said.

Human Rights Commissioner Lorraine Finlay said the Bondi Beach attack had been a turning point.

“I thought Bondi was a shock to the conscience of the nation,” she said.

Ms Finlay said while the Jewish community had carried the burden of rising antisemitism, it was a problem all Australians needed to take seriously.

Manosphere, Feminazis & the “Six Tribes” of Young People — Uncomfortable Conversations

Across the West, young people are finding it harder to build their careers, afford homes, and start families. But have we assumed they’re all the same, and been so busy treating the symptoms of their unhappiness that we’ve accidentally made them more miserable?

A major new study has divided young Australians into six “tribes”: from far-left student activists to family-oriented nationalists, from pragmatic strivers to the affluent and already comfortable. They have almost nothing in common politically, but they all want the same things: financial security, home ownership, meaningful work, a family.

The difference between them isn’t money or politics, but whether they believe the barriers in their way are within their control.

Parnell Palme McGuinness is a columnist at the Sydney Morning Herald and a senior fellow at the Centre for Independent Studies. She’s previously worked for the Australian Liberals, our conservative centre-right party, and the German Greens.

She explains the six tribes she identifies in her report, ‘Generation Trapped: Housing, handouts, and the collapse of young Australians’ life satisfaction’, and why understanding them is key to resolving the tensions simmering across the West, from intergenerational equity and immigration to the rise of populism.
