Last week was Passover, so the ABC decided to interview this bloke … Host David Rutledge speaking on RN Breakfast, Good Friday:

Dr Stephen Sizer: former Anglican vicar, conservative evangelical and, depending to who you ask, thoughtful and sympathetic friend to the Jewish people or dangerous anti-Semite.

Sizer is known best in his home country for a very controversial Facebook post. BBC News website, January 30, 2015:

The Church of England is investigating a vicar accused of posting an article on Facebook blaming Israel for the 9/11 attacks in the US.
