In a conversation with SBS Hebrew during Harmony Week, Allegra Spender (Federal Member for Wentworth) reflects on Harmony Week, warning that rising antisemitism—highlighted after the Bondi terrorist attack—requires urgent action. She argues that building connections, especially among young people, is key to restoring social cohesion and ensuring Australians can “disagree well” without deepening divisions.
