Senator Faruqi said: “Advance is a dangerous far-right organisation responsible for spreading racist, anti-immigrant, and Islamophobic disinformation and hate. This disinformation causes real-life harm to First Nations people and other people of colour and marginalised groups in this country. “The Prime Minister has questions to answer as to what due diligence was conducted prior to Ms Segal’s appointment and whether an investigation is being conducted into any perceived conflicts of interest under the APS Code of Conduct.
“These revelations just add to the problems of an antisemitism report that does more to stifle free speech than to protect minority groups. Ms Segal’s position is fast becoming untenable, and the whole system of ‘envoys’ is redundant when we already have a Race Discrimination Commissioner empowered to combat all forms of racism. “If the Prime Minister was serious about tackling racism - in all its forms - his government would commit to urgently funding and implementing the National Anti-Racism Framework, which provides a blueprint for an anti-racist Australia that protects everyone: First Nations people, Jews, Muslims, and other racialised minorities.” Facebook for the Australian Greens YouTube for the Australian Greens X for the Australian Greens Instagram for the Australian Greens Bluesky for the Australian Greens Privacy Members website Your safety Contact us Our plan Tax the 1% Tackle the cost of living Healthcare for all Fix the housing crisis Strong climate action In your language 2025 policy platform Policy principles & aims Our team Federal MPs State/territory MPs Officeholders Federal portfolios Federal media releases Take action Volunteer Donate Issues & campaigns Upcoming events Greens Shop Leave a bequest Green Magazine All news Our movement About the Greens Become a member Jobs Members website State/territory parties Contact us The Greens acknowledge the Traditional Owners of country throughout Australia and recognise their continuing connection to land, waters and culture.
