Jillian Segal urges oversight committee to vet ABC and SBS Israel coverage
Sarah Hanson-Young fires back at Antisemitism envoy Jillian Segal’s claim that the ABC gives “too much” coverage of Israel’s war on Gaza — says Australians expect “more” reporting, not less. “I don’t think she knows what she’s talking about.”🔥🔥
Arno Schaaf26She knows what she’s talking about allright. She just wants us to be told less about Israel’s dastardly deeds against the Palestinian and Lebanese people.
mazzlaw.bsky.social18It is the loss of humanity that I find so devastating.
Flimmy18Am I correct that Segal's husband donated to Advance, I'm sure I read that..? It would help further explain Segal's criticism of the ABC..very murky and sus is Jillian and her whole project.
Alfred Low17I guess Segal would like the death and destruction to be swept under the carpet. Journalists are supposed to shine light into dark places and Israel is very very dark.
healthbud.bsky.social14Israel will do literally anything to silence any criticism of them. Anything!!! FACT!
Terry 🇦🇺14Segal knows EXACTLY what she's talking about. She's playing a version of the Holocaust card.
Dr Alan Nixon3#RealHeroes, #Australia Vs #FascistFluffers and #Genocide supporters for #Israel.
Just Jim will do.2“I don’t think she knows what she’s talking about.” I have spent a lot of time learning intel analysis and reporting, doing intel analysis and reporting, and even teaching intel analysis and reporting. This is, by Sarah Hanson-Young, excellent intel analysis and reporting,
Antifa, since I was born2Why should news agencies not report on what happened in Gaza, thousands of children being murdered, CHILDREN.
Jillian Segal is absolutely living up to her role as Antisemitism Envoy. Every time she says something like this, she increases antisemitism in Australia. I'm sorry, I have to be facetious about this or I will cry scream. Our community used to be respected. This makes us at best a laughing stock.
kaya wanu33Sorry Tim. Your community is still respected. Most of us refuse to think of Israel as a Jewish state. It's obviously a western supremacist state despite all its bluster.
Doug30The appointment of Jillian Segal has to be one of the worst decisions made by the Albanese Government - she seems to regard her power to interfere in Australian life in pursuit of her agenda in support of Zionism as totally unlimited
John DeBaptiste20We need a Royal Commission into Zionism, espionage and foreign interference.
Craig Thomler 18Israel’s actions cause negative impressions of Israel. And hurt the Jewish faith globally. Israel is antisemitic.
The DILETTANTE15She’s a social terrorist and that is not even hyperbole. She is deliberately harming the social fabric of Australian society at the behest of another nation
tursiae.bsky.social12It's ludicrous, but the reasons for her appointment are pretty apparent to the community at large. It doesn't reflect on your community so much as it does the government and their transparent desire to appease certain groups.
Lucy Hamilton60If tepid reporting gesticulating in the vague direction of the full horror on an entity’s behaviour might cause that entity to be perceived negatively, then maybe the entity should reconsider its horrific activity? Israel wants secrecy and cover for its genocide. That’s not our goal.
Claire Connelly25I would have thought Israel’s actions are responsible for creating the negative impression of Israel, but maybe that’s just me
kaya wanu14Antisemetism envoy out here scaring the Aussie Jewish community. Make it make sense.
Dr Alan Nixon10You know what creates a 'negative perception of #Israel'? Killing 20000 children and 100s of thousands of Palestinians. Committing a #Genocide has traditionally done that!
Why has Special Zionist Tsar for Genocide, Ethnic Cleansing, Apartheid & White Supremacy Jillian Segal been permitted to front the Royal Commission into AnTiSeMiTiSm TWICE when Nasser Mashni of APAN was not allowed to speak even once? Wonder why we are growing ANGRIER, @albomp.bsky.social? #auspol
Jenny Difficult-Frecklington-Jones #IStandWithPalestine🍉🍉60And it should go without saying that what Segal is saying about the national broadcaster is complete and utter bullshit. Proving once again that the pro-Zionist Israel lobby has nothing but lies. I'm with Dave Milner.
lindsaybussau.bsky.social15"Segal said .... coverage of the war in the Middle East “lacked balance”, that there was an overemphasis on Gaza compared with other conflicts" Embarrassing for her that there are so few other conflicts where governments are genociding civilian populations and bragging about it on film.
d1kastell.bsky.social11Does anyone not understand that the RC into antisemitism is doing more to promote antisemitism than anything that the antisemites in Australia could have done. After Bondi there was a huge amount of sympathy and goodwill towards our Jewish fellow Australians, the RC is rapidly eroding it.
Thommo6711The buck stops with the Australian zio-fascist PM Albanese for installing this far right genocidal maniac in the first place #auspol
turn-left.bsky.social5Gross, this whole thing is absurd.
arthurnorman2.bsky.social4Will say it again and again and again All witnesses should be made to clearly outline are they zionists , are they pro israel, are they on pro Israeli boards do they have financial links to israel ...and then they can present their ""evidence""
Simon Rosenberg95The royal commission we really need: 'Examination of methods and impact of Israeli foreign influence in Australian institutions, incl. but not limited to: - public policy - legislation and police - mainstream and social media - universities - health services and reg bodies - arts and culture... 1/2
Dr Alan Nixon7Yep. This is all exposing the unequal privilege given to #Zionism. We can see clearly they are being treated differently... So UnAustralian! #Australia #auspol
Ian on Blue 🇦🇺🇵🇸 🇮🇪 🏴 Peace Is The Only Option3Segal is a horrible Zionist.
Jillian Segal complaining about ABC and SBS news coverage. JS: "the conflict in Gaza has been over-emphasised". And this has created a "negative perception of Israel". You underestimate us, Jillian. We form opinions from diverse and global analyses and opinions. We see what's happening. #auspol
Great southern land13And we can see the ‘conflict’ in Gaza is a genocide 😢
Nigel Kirwan 🇪🇭🇺🇦🇮🇳🇮🇩🇮🇪Niall Cairdubhain - Shiva Hridaya Gaudapada11Disgusting attempt at gaslighting humanity
Meya9Israel’s actions have created a negative perception about Israel.
excanberran.bsky.social6Funny how killing umpteen uncounted numbers of innocent civilians leads to a negative view of your country.
Caroline 5I think the many, many deaths of children by the IDF pretty much created the “negative perceptions”.
David Alan At The A&P3Who is Jillian Segal and why is she attempting to use her intellect to soothe the guilty conscious' of all the, "go along to get along," comfortable, wealthy and purposely blind? Sorry, I'm from the U.S. where if you r^p& k+d$, we elect you to be president. I don't understand nuance.
Miles Raymond2Very much NewsCorp talking points
Jillian Segal's 'evidence' to the royal commission is no surprise: the PM appointed as Antisemitism Envoy someone who was and is a prominent lobbyist for Israel. And as a member of the Australian Jewish community, I am horrified that Segal purports to speak for me. #auspol
Chris Egginton24Wonderful letter from Sarah Schwarz of Jewish Council expressing pretty much the same feelings. Her appearance at the RC was courageous and effective.
redskyatnyt.bsky.social16Jillian Segal is a fascist. A racist, homophobic, far-right extremist. She and her husband personally finance Advance, which tells you all you need to know about her ideologies... #auspol
Wild Colonial Girl - Difficult Woman who hopes Iran wins 🇮🇷7Her Zionist bias presents an insurmountable conflict of interest. She shouldn't be allowed to testify. Our tax dollars fund her legal advice, as well as that of the AJA & the ZFA. Both are ideological movements, whereas members of the democratic JCA had to fund raise individually for their costs.
CtlAltDel7Segal is a grotesque apologist for some of history’s most barbaric atrocities
Terry Sedgwick 🦘 T.S. un ami.7No doubt the same sort of independent oversight to which universities are subjected by her appointee, Greg Craven.
ithedark.bsky.social7Shocked that Israelis, whose families suffered and some themselves, the Holocaust, and do not condemn Israel, Netanyahu and his cabinet for their atrocious behavior in Gaza. Segal is missing the issue of reporters not allowed in to report the horror, Al Jazeera kicked out, local media killed
Jillian Segal, Australia’s antisemitism envoy - and previously president of pro-Israel lobby group ECAJ - claimed at the Royal Commission that the Gaza death toll was ‘grossly inflated'. When pressed to share ‘material’ to support her claim, she said it’s been 'well reported probably’.
Brett56In a just world this would be the end of her career.
AliceK - globalise the innitafucker33This is the third time I've seen Jillian Segal insinuate opinion as fact, then slip away from all accountability by claiming not to be an expert She is a highly skilled liar #auspol
Tina Zacher22I mean surely there's fact checkers in this farcical RC that can corroborate or rebuke these claims?
Dr. Ruth Marshall is still kicking against the pricks22Did nobody tell this stupid bitch that even the IOF accept the official count?! She’s out-hasbaring Israelis!
IndaUnknown16She's a Foreign operative who needs to be deported to where allegiance lies. Aussie citizenship needs to be revoked. Albo needs to resign(bumbling coward wont) for appointing her
Peter Wilkie 🏳️🌈15Since when does "my opinion" gather evidentiary status at an RC? This woman is unelected, unqualified & has no business interfering with the reporting of institutions that are valued by the vast majority of Australians Her "cause" is representative of a minority of a tiny minority, and worthless
benjamin93my dude you're outhasbaraing the IDF
Dr nick nobody15This foreign government lobbyist is actively evil #auspol
Dr Mark | 北马克 |🍉🇦🇺🇲🇾🇹🇭13It's just a disgrace that she holds an official and highly paid position.
Paul Dutton11Fucken liar should never be paid with taxpayer money!
Anthony B,10Her "evidence" is "well, vibes". She's been in the role for how long, and is still refusing to take the responsibility at all seriously.
T✨6Fucking hell, so she’s a full blown #genocide denier running a so-called #Antisemetism inquiry First #ICAC, now this… Australia seems to have an issue with putting the precise worst person possible in charge of really important issues that we do need to address seriously… yet this ain’t it #auspol
Theo Arman6This is the individual who wants to put a cap on (or in) SBS and the ABC for reporting the news correctly. #auspol
Caspia's Photos 🏳️⚧️6It's outrageous the Australian government has appointed an official pro-Zionist, pro-Israel propagandist. I remember an ALP meeting at Trades Hall in the early 1990s collecting funds for the ANC in South Africa. (No, this does NOT mean Israel/Zionism has "captured" Australia. Don't be antisemitic
Gerard Gill5A disgraceful performance but at least it was also transparent and hamfisted. It could be worse, she could be good at what she does.
eggs5This is Eve Fartlow areas
“They could run positive stories about other things Israel is doing" Jillian Segal tells Royal Commission ABC and SBS are biased, need monitor to vet coverage #auspol #RC #antisemitism @sstephanietrann.bsky.social michaelwest.com.au/antisemitism...
3wombats26They have time to do other things? I thought slaughtering the neighbours and stealing their land was a full time job
Frau Cernik17Did she mention any positive stories? Settlers killing and burning houses and farms of Palestinians ! Journalist not allowed into Gaza , over 200 journalists killed in Gaza as well as numerous Aid workers .
Tina Zacher14Oh you mean like how they're fabulous at organ transplants? Just as long as you don't ask where all those organs come from?
The bias is not against Israel; it is against genocide and crimes against humanity. It just so happens that Israel is doing it.
Joel Pollard10She's not an elected official so she should just STFU!
Marilyn Difficult Shepherd4What would that be, slaughtering a few less babies, only blowing up less water, what on earth is the shithole doing that is positive
Simon Rosenberg21So Segal wants 'negative stories' about Israel's - apartheid regime - #GazaGenocide - #WestBank #EthnicCleansing - detention and torture of Palestinians - murder of children, journalists, and health workers to be 'balanced'?? What she really wants is the facts about Israeli crimes to be suppressed.
Gerard Gill6Just checking do we take this approach when we talk about Russia or Iran or Myanmar or do we just report on the balance of what they are doing that's newsworthy
Dai Wolf5for the softest of occasional criticisms nothing but deep-throating the boot and saying thank you sir is allowed
Rɪᴄʜᴀʀᴅ Tᴜꜰꜰɪɴ ᶜᵇʳ ᶜᶠᶜ ᵃᵘ4I'm loving that the response to Segal's woeful comments at the Commission have been met with instant and widespread rage and disdain, as they ought. Good stuff folks.
Dr Alan Nixon2#Propaganda by #FascistFluffers and #Genocide supporters of #Australia. #auspol
Jillian Segal has zero interest in preventing antisemitism. Her sole goal is to advance Israel's control over both Australian Federal and state governments. Her priority is to advance the Zionist agenda. It is blatantly obvious she is an agent of a foreign power. #auspol #Israel
Data Dot3I think Israel knows they are screwed in their current situation. They are looking for alternatives. The USA is one, but it's now getting hostile, so Australia is in play. If it all goes south in the ME (of their own doing), then they'll be running here as they've put the place under Zionist rule
RickMindgone1Peter, so very well said. She is a zionist conwoman
Apparently the ABC and its various regulators can't adequately judge editorial standards. They need a pro-Israel lobbyist to decide them.
d1kastell.bsky.social6Looks like you soon won’t be able to find any criticism of the Zionist regime in Palestine in the Australian media. Good job there’s always Haaretz!
Glenn2Is there any world gov the Israelis have not bribed?
Malcolm...1No such thing as freedom of opinion anymore
Sharty Mcscrote (Sandy D AU) 🍉🍉7I vaguely remember the Iranian ambassador being expelled, but this UNELECTED Nazi Religious Extremist gets to run the country ? #AustralianLaborFundAndSupportEthnicCleansingGenocideAndApartheid #auspol
livesarah4I wonder how many hundreds of millions of dollars of taxpayer money Albo will be gifting the new Zionist Oversight Committee for Australian Public Broadcasting? [it’s definitely going to happen, isn’t it 🫠]
We counted, so you don’t have to. Insane is the number of things Jillian Segal actually HERSELF conceded she had no evidence for, or backflipped on, but went completely unreported. www.lamestream.com.au/we-counted-a...
Scott Mitchell6This is a Federal Government envoy. She’s being paid to prepare evidence, making the case against our public broadcasters integrity. Again and again when questioned, she just concede “oh, no, I don’t actually have evidence of that”.
stimpysimpson.bsky.social2All while getting $1000 per day from the public purse
Daniel Cohen2She was elevated to an unreasonably important role in a hurry but all the voices with vested interested lurking in political shadows. What mechanisms are there to reign her in? Does the position have a mandated serving time, or does she have carteblanche to shart all over the Govt forever?
Mario Bono1I don’t trust anything Jillian Segal says.
www.theguardian.com/australia-ne.... The ABC is doing its job, reporting the truth. The ABCs reporting doesn't create a negative impression of Israel. Israel's actions of Genocide, Lebensraum ( land theft ) torture of non Israelis creates a negative view. #auspol @albomp.bsky.social
Anonymous Sewer Rat 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈❤️🧡💛💚🩵💜🖤🤎13If anything , ABC news are under reporting the atrocities in Gaza.
Sandra M Aus7The reporting by the ABC is mild compared to sources like Al Jazeera, the UN even the BBC. They are filtering & dialling down already.
Jenny Bradbrook 7Segal hasn't "turned her mind to"? ABC reporting? She wants a special authority to make judgements? What is she being paid an obscene amount of money for then?
union-solidarity21.bsky.social3The ABC is notoriously biased in favour of promoting Isn'treali propaganda. Only the truly deranged could look at the last decade of their reporting and conclude that they created a negative impression of the settler colony of Isn'treal
Nina Reeder🇺🇦🇵🇸🐕🦚🍉🍉2The abc news journalist are not reporting genocide, the word is verboten on the abc, people like sally Sara, RN are very quick to challenge any anti Israel sentiments.
Jillian Segal claims that the war in Gaza is over represented on @news.abc.net.au and that constitutes bias. Commissioner Bell pushes back.
Frau Cernik7That is her aim , silencing ABC and SBS not to report the genocide and war crimes committed by Netanyahu. SBS is reporting equally about wars and famine all over the world . Fuck off you Zionist Netanyahu supporter.
CtlAltDel6Segal can go get fucked. If anything there needs to be an investigation into Israel’s influence on Australian politics and media.
Paul6Unbelievable! The lack of humanity degrades us all. How did we land here?
Ignoble Jim R Houghton1The old 'everyone else is mad and out to get me and I'm the only sane one' ploy.
Segal is biased, and ignorant of media ways, and should stand down to protect Israel debate. She thinks ABC coverage of Israel war was “disproportionate” and “biased.”The aggressor for 100 yrs, Israel, committed ethnic cleansing. #Auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2026-07...
Pup Fiction9"Among the Australian Jewish community there is a common and pervasive perception that has been expressed to me repeatedly…” A subsection of the Jewish community obviously considering she only listens to Zionists. That’s abundantly clear
Andy Paterson4That's her opinion and it's looking at it through the lens of Zionist Israel, not through the United Nations human rights lens, which Australia is a signatory to. In my opinion, ABC has been mostly absent during the genocide of Palestinians and has unconditionally supported the Zionist lobby.
Robynne3Her and her atttack dogs who write complaints in order to get people fired from their work are one of the reasons people are disgusted by Israel. Not sure how any media org can sanitise torture of prisoners, deliberate sniping of children and genocide.
