Israel lobby law firm jags plumb role in Bondi Royal Commission
Gilbert & Tobin, the main sponsor of Israel’s elite lobby group, the Australian Israel Chamber of Commerce, will “provide legal support” to the Royal Commission on Antisemitism. What is fraud?
The scam is Attorney General Michelle Rowland worked at G&T before politics, so his former colleagues at the firm will be delighted. Antisemitism RC will spend about $40 million of its $90 million budget on legal services. G&T has already outperformed RCs, and Robodebt billed almost $6 million to “help” the RC.
The Israeli lobby will be equally delighted because Gilbert & Tobin is the main legal sponsor of the Australian Israel Chamber of Commerce, the most elite lobby group in Australia, whose partners play a role in aiding the IDF and illegal settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territories.
Hearings will begin next week before Judge Virginia Bell.
