The SBS statement starts with an acknowledgement of “the gravity of the matters” before the commission and stresses that SBS plays a “vital role” in strengthening social cohesion.

“SBS has invested significantly in reporting and programming that helps Australians better understand antisemitism and its impacts, with content available in more than 60 languages,” SBS’s statement says.

“Across all our platforms and services, we represent Jewish Australian stories and perspectives in a way that is respectful, accurate and inclusive.”

Examples include multilingual SBS Examines explainers on antisemitism and misinformation, documentaries exploring Jewish Australian experiences and extensive reporting on the Bondi terrorist attack and its aftermath.

It also highlights the award-winning Dateline episode “Inside Israel: A Nation at War”, and SBS Hebrew’s coverage of international and domestic news and community stories for Australian audiences in both Hebrew and English.
