LABOR MP Shaoquett Moselmane has been accused of excluding key figures of Australia’s Jewish media from multiple events that were billed as celebrations of multiculturalism.
It is the second serious allegation this week against Mr Moselmane of excluding the Jewish community from multicultural events.
It comes as the government targeted Mr Moselmane in parliament with Treasurer Dominic Perrottet dramatically accusing Labor of holding “anti-Semitic views”.
“(The media have been) accurately representing anti-Semitic views they have on that side,” he said.
Both J-Wire and the Australian Jewish News told The Daily Telegraph they could not recall being invited to the Multicultural and indigenous Media awards which Mr Moselmane established in 2012 and ran until 2016.
The events were held at NSW Parliament House. Australian Jewish News CEO Joshua Levi accused Mr Moselmane of not sharing values of multiculturalism.
“We didn’t even receive an invitation from Moselmane … seemingly he has a problem with the Jewish community. Luke Foley is a friend of the Jewish community, but if he really cares about that relationship it’s about time he take real action against someone that doesn’t seem to share his values of multiculturalism.”
