On Saturday, July 12, investigative journalist Anthony Klan reported that Jillian Segal and her husband, Mr John Roth, via a family trust — the Henroth Discretionary Trust – donated $50,000 to the right-wing, racist, anti-First Nations and anti-immigration ‘think tank’ Advance.
Klan’s report revealed a serious conflict of interest in her role as Special Envoy to Combat Antisemitism in Australia.
Embattled antisemitism special envoy Jillian Segal this afternoon broke her 48-hour silence, responding to the scandal that has sparked widespread calls for her ousting, Anthony Klan has just reported.
Whilst Segal has responded to MSM questions, she is yet to respond to independent journalists as she engages in what appears to be ‘damage control.’
Several independent journalists – including this masthead – sent enquiries to Ms Segal, but none received a response; however, Ms Segal did have time to respond to The Age and Sydney Morning Herald and Sun-Herald today, Sunday, July 13, commencing her urgent ‘damage control’.
According to the Sun-Herald, ASIC documents show Henroth Investments Pty Ltd is co-directed by Stanley and John Roth.
AEC donation records state the company lodged its donation return on behalf of Henroth Discretionary Trust.
The company has also previously given money to the Liberal Party. Henroth was named after their father, Henry Roth, who was a successful property developer.
The brothers own gelato chain, Gelatissimo, which has stores across Australia and globally in the Philippines, Singapore, Saudi Arabia and the US.
The Klaxon originally reported on this matter.
Jillian Segal has not responded to requests for comment.
