Episode Details

A Monash University student, Paris Enten, broke down during a Royal Commission hearing, revealing how her mental health shattered over five years at the university — from a confident, happy-go-lucky student to someone traumatized by antisemitic attacks, hostile campus culture, and a university that failed to act on her complaints. She recounted being confronted by students questioning her Jewish identity and even asking if she enjoyed killing Palestinians — an incident she reported, only to be told there wasn’t enough evidence to intervene. The trauma deepened when she witnessed fellow students disrespectfully filming TikToks at Holocaust sites in Poland and Germany. By graduation, she felt jaded, angry, and betrayed by an institution she once trusted. Monash admitted the distress was real, investigated thoroughly, but couldn’t reach a formal conclusion due to conflicting accounts — now shifting focus to how universities respond to such crises.
