Episode Details

Victoria Police is now running a 24/7 social media monitoring command center to spot hate and violence, revealed at the anti-Semitism royal commission. Assistant Commissioner Martin O’Brien explained how flagged reports—especially those with racial, political, or ideological elements—are now tagged with special fact sheets to boost visibility and cross-reference intelligence. But questions arose when key cases, like anti-Semitic phone threats and swastika graffiti, lacked these tags—officials admitted they should have been logged. The system was built in direct response to such gaps, aiming to fix how hate crimes are tracked. Meanwhile, classified AFP testimony hints at deeper systemic issues still unfolding as the royal commission continues.
