The Victorian Parliament was the scene of a bipartisan message against hatred and antisemitism today as party leaders united to jointly sign The London Declaration on Combating Antisemitism.
The chairman of the Inter-Parliamentary Coalition for Combating Anti-Semitism has hailed the deluge of Australian state and federal MPs and Senators who have signed the London Declaration into Combatting Anti-Semitism.
NSW Opposition Leader John Robertson and Premier Barry O’Farrell have today jointly signed the London Declaration on Combating Anti-Semitism at Parliament House.
In 2009, Parliamentarians from around the globe signed the London Declaration, a document which strongly condemned antisemitism. The Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard added her signature to the document effectively linking Australia with the existing signatories.
