Shadow education minister Sarah Henderson has confirmed the Coalition is calling for an"urgent" Senate inquiry into anti-Semitism at Australian universities.
"But when speech crosses the line and it becomes incitement and hate speech, and breaches university guidelines which prevent discrimination, or vilification, or intimidation or harassment, and when the universities are not upholding their own guidelines, we have a massive problem in this country." Ms Henderson previously told Sky News police were called in to break up the group, and there was"no doubt" the Jewish student was being"vilified, harassed, intimidated".children were heard among those chanting anti-Semitic slogans like"from the river to the sea" at a pro-Palestine tent city demonstration organised by an academic and activist.
Ms Henderson said the department had not received complaints of Islamophobia on university campuses.
