Multiple outlets report that Deborah Conway told a royal commission she was “stunned” by pro-Palestinian protesters, drawing comparisons to historical antisemitism. In coverage of her remarks, the articles also cite testimony from a counterterror expert who says antisemitism in Australia has risen steadily over the past decade. The reports present the issue as part of a broader discussion at the commission about community tensions and the impact of public demonstrations. While outlets focus on Conway’s reaction to the protests, they also align on the core claim from the expert witness: that patterns of antisemitic attitudes and behavior have increased in Australia in recent years. The articles do not provide detailed evidence in the excerpts provided, but they indicate the commission is examining the rise of antisemitism and related security and social concerns. Overall, the coverage combines a personal statement from Conway with expert testimony presented to the royal commission.
