Witnesses begin providing evidence at Australia’s antisemitism royal commission as the first block of hearings continues. Multiple outlets report that the hearings move through consecutive days, with each day focused on testimony from a range of people describing lived experiences of antisemitism. On day three, more than a dozen people are scheduled to give evidence. Another day of proceedings includes additional witnesses also describing their experiences.
On day four, outlets similarly state that more than a dozen people appear to give evidence about their lived experiences of antisemitism. On day five, reporting notes that evidence begins during that day of the hearings, continuing the commission’s evidence-taking.
On day six, outlets report a further set of nine witnesses, including Jewish community leaders, rabbis and musician Deborah Conway. This day’s evidence is presented before former High Court judge Virginia Bell, who is reported as chairing that portion of the hearings. The reports are presented as live updates, indicating ongoing testimony and scheduling across the hearing period.
