Lots of places down through the ages were good for Jews - until they weren’t.
Jewish friends tell me they are concerned about an increase in anti-semitism in Australia. I have no reason to doubt that they are right about that. But they also tell me that it’s still nowhere as big a problem as in many other places and I assume they are right about that as well.
Most of it - although not all of it - seems to be coming from the hard-left in Australia. Not the mainstream left for the most part, but the growing group who don’t think the mainstream left go far enough for them. From what I can see the Australian Labor Party - the traditional home of the left in this country - still seems pretty solidly pro-Israel in the current situation. It’s more minor groupings - like the Greens - which seem to taking an anti-Israel/pro-Palestinian position as a common one.
