Israel’s President Reuven Rivlin was warmly welcomed here as an honoured guest by the Australian Governor General David Hurley, as he praised Australia’s close friendship with Israel, the Jewish community of Australia and the brave firefighters for their courage and dedication under extreme circumstances. Frustration and dismay were the reactions to yet another delay in the extradition hearing of Malka Leifer in Jerusalem, as the lawyers for the alleged sex offender, wanted on 74 charges against students at Melbourne’s Adass Israel school were granted the right to present opposing views as to her psychiatric condition. Manny Waks the victim of sexual abuse as a student at the Melbourne Chabad Yeshiva College was awarded more than $800k in damages from his offender David Cyprys.
