The Advertiser recently reported on a former University of Adelaide student magazine editor who posted on social media praising Iran’s missile strike on Israel. The article discusses the former editor’s history promoting extremism, which includes tweeting out the Hezbollah flag and sauing that she was in “awe” after the October 7 attacks. She was previously charged with producing or distributing extremism content, but this charge has now been dropped.

The article notes that the former editor’s behaviour has been raised by the Online Hate Prevention Institute in our submission to the federal parliamentary Commission of Inquiry into Anti-semitism at Australian Universities. In our report, we noted that we were monitoring her social media profiles after she had posted support of Hezbollah, and urged Universities to take students’ claims to antisemitism more seriously.
