Despite Anthony Albanese’s unconvincing pledge not to allow anti-Semitism to “find so much as a foothold” in Australia, it’s horrifyingly obvious that it has not just a foothold, but a stranglehold.

Tasmania’s election is done, if not yet dusted, and the result is a warning shot for both major parties at the federal level. Of course, Tasmania’s hare-brained Hare-Clark election system, which makes MMP look almost rigorous, doesn’t help. This is a system which actually punishes electoral success
