Maurice Klein speaks with The Hon John Anderson AC, commentator who served as the leader of the National Party and the 11th deputy Prime Minister of Australia from 1999 to 2005 under The Hon John Howard AC. John is a staunch friend of the Jewish community and Israel. With the massive wave of anti-Israel antisemitism storming Australia and the West, John believes that "we are at a civilizational moment, the longer we ignore it, the longer we refuse to stand against it, the more likely it will be that it ends badly ". John feels strongly about antisemitism, deploring racism and hatred, and with everything happening in Australia he tells us that the Jewish community does have friends who are coming out in support. John states that he "looks forward to effective, moral leadership in this country" and tells us that PM Albanese and Foreign Minister Wong are deserting Israel big time at the UN, has only given succour to Hamas and the Israel haters. He believes that the antisemitism in Australia along with the feckless leadership from our Labor government is now an issue at the upcoming Federal election, and tells us that Peter Dutton has not abandoned and will not abandon the Jewish community and Israel. John Anderson AC you are a Mensch and a Blessing.

After several missions to Israel, beginning in 2019 following the use by Hamas and other militant groups of incendiary kites and balloons to start fires, OFS has embarked on a 4-year program aimed at creating a nationally recognised regime for emergency response teams and establishing bushfire mitigation, bushfire hazard reduction and community resilience in Israeli communities. Timothy is a guest speaker at the JNF’s Green Week and will appear in Victoria on the 12th of February at the community event, Rising from the Ashes: Building a Resilient Future for Israel’s Border Communities, and at the Tu Bishvat Morning Tea and Insights event on the 13th of February.

Maurice Klein speaks with The Hon Tim Wilson, former Assistant Minister to the Minister for Industry, Energy and Emissions Reduction and former Liberal MP for Goldstein, who has been picked by his party to contest this seat at the next Federal election. Before entering politics, Tim was a policy director at the Institute of Public Affairs (IPA) and served as Australia's Human Rights Commissioner. He contends that the current Australian Federal and State Labor Governments are failing the Australian Jewish Community, and as such are failing Australia. Tim believes Australia is at a crossroad and that the result of the next Federal election will define the Australian society of the future. The interview is preceded by an Israel At War Mythbuster featuring Tim who responds, with moral clarity, to a constituent who attempts to blindside him with a well aired myth propagated by the pro-Palestinian lobby about the war in Gaza.
