Tony Jones fires up over Jacinta Allan’s inaction on anti-Semitic attacks

Tony Jones cannot believe Premier Jacinta Allan didn’t make an appearance at the inner-Melbourne synagogue which was the centre of an anti-Semitic attack on Friday night.

On a weekend which was marred by two separate attacks, a man tried to set the East Melbourne Hebrew Congregation building on fire, while an Israeli-owned restaurant in the city was also stormed by pro-Palestine protesters.

Press PLAY to hear Tony Jones’ FULL passionate editorial 

The Premier is due to visit the synagogue on Monday, but Tony Jones said she should have been there earlier to show support to Melbourne’s Jewish community.

“The Premier’s absence has done nothing but display a complete lack of leadership,” he said on 3AW Mornings.
