Calls to reinstate national service to combat anti-Semitism
Stephen Lowy, son of prominent businessman Frank Lowy and a Holocaust survivor, has proposed reinstating national service for young Australians during testimony at the Royal Commission into Anti-Semitism and Social Cohesion. He argues that mandatory military service, similar to systems in countries like South Korea, Singapore and Israel, would foster national pride and social cohesion among youth. Lowy also called for increased funding for full-time security and policing for the Jewish community.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
