Australia’s antisemitism envoy, Jillian Segal, says she had no involvement in a major donation from her husband’s company to the controversial conservative campaign group Advance, which has strongly railed against overseas immigration, pro-Palestine protests and the Labor government.
The Henroth donation was the equal second-largest donation to Advance last year, one of five donors to give $50,000 to the group.
The Henroth donation resurfaced after a report from independent news site the Klaxon over the weekend after Segal’s delivery of 49 recommendations to the government to address antisemitism.
In a brief two-line response to questions, Segal distanced herself from the Henroth donation.
“Who would’ve thought bringing hundreds of people from Gaza would be a risk to security,” Advance posted on X on Friday.
