If it wins power, the Coalition will include content about anti-Semitism in the Australian Citizenship test, amid a package of measures to deal with the ongoing issue, according to Shadow Immigration Minister Dan Tehan.

Tehan made the comments during an online forum run by the Australian Jewish Association (AJA) amid a flurry of anti-Semitic incidents that have swept the country since the Oct. 7, 2023 Hamas attacks on Israel, including arson attacks and the firebombing of a synagogue.
