澳大利亚负责打击反犹太主义的特别特使吉莉安·西格尔（Jillian Segal）发布最新报告，提议为SBS和ABC设立“外部监察员”，以监控二者关于以色列及中东地区的新闻报道 1。该报告还包含禁止遮面、取消资助反犹机构以及改革教育领域等其他建议 1。
针对这一提议，SBS公开回应称其现有的投诉和问责框架已十分健全，内部设有独立监察员，并受到澳大利亚媒体与通讯管理局（ACMA）的外部监督 1。ABC方面则强调，其投诉处理流程是全澳媒体中“最健全和透明”的，因此无需增设额外的外部监管机制 1。
部分犹太社区组织也对西格尔的报告提出了批评。澳大利亚犹太委员会执行干事巴特·斯坦曼（Bart Shteinman）指责该报告具有“奥威尔式”色彩，并指出特使并不代表所有犹太人 1。这些批评者认为，报告内容存在误导性，且意在压制公众对以色列在加沙军事行动的批评声音 1。这一争议背景涉及2023年10月7日哈马斯袭击后引发的加沙冲突；此前联合国调查委员会曾认定以色列实施种族灭绝（以色列予以否认），国际法院的相关案件目前仍在进行中 1。
Australia’s Special Envoy to Combat Antisemitism, Jillian Segal, has proposed the establishment of an external ombudsman to monitor how national broadcasters SBS and ABC report on Israel and the Middle East 1. This recommendation is part of a broader set of measures in her latest report, which also includes proposals to ban face coverings, cancel funding for certain antisemitic organizations, and implement reforms within the education sector 1. The proposal stems from ongoing concerns regarding media coverage following the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023, and the subsequent military operations by Israel in Gaza 1.
Both SBS and ABC have publicly rejected the call for additional external oversight, asserting that their current internal mechanisms are sufficient and robust 1. In response, SBS emphasized that it already maintains a sound framework for complaints and accountability, which includes an independent inspector general as well as external supervision by the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) 1. Meanwhile, ABC defended its existing processes, describing its complaint-handling system as the "most robust and transparent" among Australian media outlets 1.
The report has also drawn sharp criticism from segments of the Jewish community in Australia. Bart Shteinman, the executive director of the Jewish Council of Australia, labeled the document as "Orwellian," arguing that it attempts to suppress legitimate criticism of Israel’s actions in Gaza and noting that the envoy does not represent all Jewish Australians 1. These debates occur against a complex international backdrop, where a United Nations investigation committee previously determined that Israel committed acts of genocide—a finding Israel denies—while cases at the International Court of Justice remain ongoing 1.
