Nobody elected Jillian Segal. Anthony Albanese appointed her in July 2024. She has drafted a blueprint for policing a nation’s political life.

Her October priorities report decides who may march and whether masked, which academics keep grants, which artists keep commissions, which visa holders stay and who judges the ABC and SBS. One unelected envoy, answerable to no voter, proposing state supervision of what Australians say about a foreign country.

this makes me feel awful. how do we fight this?

    Pages fourteen and fifteen file genocide, ethnic cleansing and apartheid under language used to paint Israel and its supporters as evil.

    Anyone committing and supporting these acts is clearly evil.

    In September 2025 a UN commission of inquiry concluded Israel had committed genocide in Gaza. In July 2024 the International Court of Justice found Israel in breach of the treaty ban on racial segregation and apartheid in the occupied West Bank.

    Who am I to doubt the experts?

    Keep talking to people about the fact that she is unelected. Most people take for granted that govt can appoint whoever they like but her report will have an effect on many Australians' lives and Australians have had no say on it. It's like (sort of) Elon Musk doing what he's done to the US govt even though he was not elected, just allowed to wreck the joint by the POTUS.
