The Executive Council of Australian Jewry (ECAJ) requested additional security funding from the Attorney-General's Department in December 2024, following completion of a $25 million "Enhancing Security for Jewish Communities" grant announced in October 2023 after Hamas attacks on Israel. The ECAJ reported a more than 300% increase in antisemitic incidents for the year ending 30 September 2024, describing the level as unprecedented. The letter, marked confidential and security-sensitive, sought further government support to address the escalating threat environment facing the Australian Jewish community. Substantial portions of the correspondence and supporting documents are redacted under sections 37(1)(c) and 47G(1)(a), relating to cabinet information and security-sensitive material respectively.
