The federal government’s special envoy to combat antisemitism, Jillian Segal, has distanced herself from a $50,000 donation a trust linked to her husband made to political lobby group Advance Australia, which posts right-wing, anti-Muslim content.
Data from the Australian Electoral Commission show the donation was made by Henroth Investments Pty Ltd to Advance Australia in the 2023-24 reporting period.

The Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) records indicate that John Roth, along with his brother Stanley Roth, are directors of Henroth Investments Pty Ltd.

Advance Australia posts anti-immigration content on its social media accounts, regularly calling for an end to “mass immigration” in Australia.
The group recently claimed Palestinians in Australia were a “risk to security”, was a significant player in the No campaign against an Indigenous Voice to parliament and has called for an end to Welcome to Country ceremonies.

Recently, the company shared an AI-created image depicting a group of people, including women in hijabs, standing outside a house in a post that criticized immigration.

In a statement to SBS News, Segal responded to reports about the donation, which were first published by the Guardian and more recently by independent outlet The Klaxon.
“No one would tolerate or accept my husband dictating my politics, and I certainly won’t dictate his,” Segal said.
“I have had no involvement in his donations, nor will I.”

There is no suggestion Segal was involved in the donation.
