Jillian Segal, Australia's Special Envoy to Combat Antisemitism, has proposed a comprehensive plan to address rising antisemitism, particularly in academic and cultural institutions. The plan includes:

Funding Accountability, Media Monitoring, Visa Screening and Deportation Powers as well as a review of Australia's Hate Speech laws

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has expressed support for the plan, stating that some components could be implemented promptly. However, he emphasized that the government would review the recommendations before proceeding.

This initiative comes in response to a significant increase in reported antisemitic incidents, with a 300% rise since October 7, 2024. The plan aims to create a safer environment for Jewish Australians and address antisemitism through a multifaceted approach involving education, media, legal frameworks, and institutional accountability.

– MAJOR PRESS RELEASE–

Dear readers,

For the past few weeks, TDMG began early investigations regarding Tasmania’s transport & Infrastructure sector, and through the procurement of sources and disclosed information, we commissioned an investigation into the Tasmanian Transportation industry, focusing on Bus transportation and road logistics.

Tasmania’s transport system has shifted dramatically from rail to road over recent decades, driven by political decisions, corporate consolidation, and infrastructure spending focused on highways and heavy vehicle logistics. The decline of rail freight and passenger services has increased road con...

As of today, Thought Digest Media Group has officially begun a rapid platform wide restructuring program named "project phoenix" which plans to rectify long-term issues that have impacted our performance and the wider community. We are proud to announce news synchronization, website optimization and accessibility and the development/scraping of programs. With these changes we also require a larger team to operate effectively, which is why we are currently seeking more individuals to join our team, especially those recently joining university.

We plan to not only restructure our content and platforms, but also realign TDMG's mission to provide a form of social enterprise for highschool graduates, undergraduate university students and those who have just completed university. We aim to provide these individuals hands on experience where they can develop skills and apply those learnt in the classroom.

During this period you may notice interruptions or delays in our content and we apologize for the inconvenience, but regardless we will strive for our best performance during this period.
