Antisemitism Education Taskforce reference group

Question

Senator FARUQI: ............ I have questions on the Antisemitism Education Taskforce reference group and the Commonwealth Research Grants Working Group. I'll ask these questions of ARC as well, but these are particularly for the department. What is the staffing level allocated to the antisemitism taskforce secretariat? Ms Joldi?: We currently have nine staff in the taskforce. Senator FARUQI: Full time? Ms Joldi?: Full time-correct. Senator FARUQI: Nine full-time staff-okay. Who's on the stakeholder reference group? Ms Joldi?: We have a number of stakeholder reference groups. We have a stakeholder reference group, to be followed by roundtable discussions. But I will pass to Mr Johnston to explain to you how the reference group works. Senator FARUQI: I just want to know who's on the stakeholder reference group. Mr Johnston: The stakeholder reference group has a very wide membership. It is reflective of the diversity in the community and the diversity of views relating to this issue. There are members on there who are experts in antisemitism, of course, but also- Senator FARUQI: I just want to know who's on that stage. Mr Johnston: I don't have the exact list of our names- Senator FARUQI: You're here at estimates to answer questions. Mr Johnston: Yes. I don't have the exact list in front of me, and I'm happy to take that on notice, but I'm very happy to talk to you about the members who we have on the stakeholder reference group. I just don't have the specific names. Senator FARUQI: Maybe you could provide that on notice. Mr Johnston: I'm happy to provide it to you on notice. Senator FARUQI: Is there staff representation or NTEU representation on the stakeholder reference group? Mr Johnston: Yes, there are union representatives. Senator FARUQI: If you could provide that to me on notice- Mr Johnston: I'm happy to do that for you. Mr Cook: It's about 30 or 40 people, but we'll take it on notice
