DJ's Antisemitic Remarks at Biennale Investigated

During a performance, she urged the crowd to oppose what she called the Zeal Australian Epstein Empire. Officials say the remarks may breach racial hate laws or even advocate terrorism. The Executive Council of Australian Jewry raised concerns in a formal complaint. They argue the statement promotes conspiracy theories linking Jewish Australians to crime and abuse, potentially inciting hatred or ridicule. Meanwhile, the Biennale issued a statement distancing itself from the unannounced comments. They stressed a zero tolerance policy for anti-semitism, racism, or any hate speech and promise to cooperate with police inquiries. Reactions poured in quickly from leaders. Art's Minister John Graham called the remarks inflammatory and said they make Jewish people feel unwelcome, especially after recent tragedies.
