The release is correspondence between the Department of Education and the office of the Special Envoy to Combat Islamophobia, Aftab Malik, in July 2026 about the draft Terms of Reference and membership of the Islamophobia Education Taskforce. Mathew Johnston, Acting First Assistant Secretary, sent the draft, which proposes a chair (Jasmina Joldić PSM), a membership spanning state and territory education departments, school, VET, tertiary and curriculum bodies, and a six-month report to Education Ministers, with a final report at 12 months. The draft mirrors the Antisemitism Education Taskforce model, including a dedicated website and mailbox. Malik approved the draft and asked when he could link to the taskforce website, and the Stakeholder Reference Group was discussed. The records contain no visa subclasses, detention figures, cyber assessments or enforcement debates, and the Home Affairs-specific content is limited to standard email disclaimers.
