Australian PM Albanese's government faces criticism over handling of anti-Semitism issues.

Anthony Albanese's Australian government is facing criticism for its handling of anti-Semitism, accused of lacking empathy and sensitivity. Controversy surrounds the selection of Foreign Minister Penny Wong to represent Australia at the Auschwitz commemoration, seen as unsympathetic by some in the Jewish community. Criticism also stems from the delayed national cabinet meeting on anti-Semitism and the decision to establish a national database of anti-Semitic incidents, seen as inadequate. The opposition calls for mandatory minimum sentences for anti-Semitic crimes, raising political tensions.
